Into You.

After Mike excitedly told Vic that I had a couple of tattoos, I followed the boys into Vic's car. The ride was filled with New Found Glory blasting from the speakers. After arriving at their friends house, I followed them both right into yet another beautiful house. Instead of knocking, they just walked right in. That made me feel a little weird, but I figured I'd be more weird if I just stood outside by myself, so I walked in.

Once inside, we walked down some stairs and into a fairly large basement that had guitars hanging on one of the walls, a lot of Polaroid pictures on a different wall, and band posters on another. There was a couch and some chairs, and all these amps that had already been set up, not to mention cables all over the place.

"Hey Jaime." smiled Vic to he boy already inside of the basement.

"Hey guys." 'Jaime' smiled back. He stood up and gave Mike and Vic that "bro" hug and then stood in front of me.

"Jaime, this is Tay." stated Mike.

"Well hello there Tay, I'm Jaime." he grinned and hugged me.

"Hi." I smiled shyly at him after he let go of me.

"Tony should be here any moment." stated Jaime. As the guys waited for this Tony fella to show up, Jaime and Vic decided to play some acoustic songs. They were really good, I couldn't even imagine how good they would be as a full band.

"Sorry guys, my mom was making me do some stuff before I could leave the house." said who I assumed was Tony. He was fairly tall, taller than Vic but shorter than Mike and was carrying a guitar case in his right hand. He was wearing a snap back and poking out was a little padawan braid behind his left ear. Mine was way long, but I didn't have the heart to cut it yet.

"It's cool man." smiled Jaime.

"Um, Tone, this is Tay." stated Vic suddenly and pointing to me. Tony turned around and oh my, he was beautiful.

"Oh, the one with the fucked up mom?" he stated.

"Dude! Rude much? What the fuck?" asked Mike.

"Well it's not like it's not true." shrugged Tony. Well, that was unexpected. But he was right, I was the girl with the fucked up mom. There is no denying it. Mike walked over to me and apologized on behalf of Tony who was busy tuning his guitar.

"Is it alright if I just go walk around? I kind of want to get a feel of the town before it gets dark." I asked Mike and Vic. Vic said yeah and I made my way out of Jaime's house and their stares.

Those four boys didn't even know yet, I guess they kind of thought they had me all figured out because I have a fucked up mom and come from a fucked up family. Truth is, I'm quite a happy person. Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean that I'm sad or angry or anything like that. Sure, I have my off days, but I'd rather just talk when it's necessary. I guess living with a woman who never really allowed me to ask any questions or to talk much has done that to me. Whenever someone came over, which was almost all of the time, she would tell me to go to my room and I never had anyone to talk to. It was always just me singing along to whatever cd I was listening to, but actually having a worthwhile conversation was rare. I lived in my head.

After a while of walking I realized that I had no idea where I was, or how I had gotten here. I must have taken a wrong turn or something because absolutely nothing looked familiar. The only thing that did look familiar was a Starbucks at the end of the street. Before deciding to freak out, I walked over to the Starbucks and got myself a Vanilla Bean Frap., double blended, with no caramel. I'm not a fan of caramel, it's all sticky and everything, blah that was just gross.

After getting my drink, I continued walking and turning left. The reason I kept turning left is because it's common for most people to choose right, so I figured, why not explore? I'm already lost, what harm could this do?

EventuallyIi came to a little park. Well, little was an understatement. There was a huge hill with trees that overlooked this really cool lake thing with ducks in it. I walked to the top of the hill and sat under the tree starring at the ducks. They looked so peaceful and content with just being ducks. They were with their family and could not be any more happy. I wonder what their troubles were. I wonder if they had a fucked up mother.

"Tay?" came a sudden voice from behind me. I jumped and turned around only seeing darkness at first. I hadn't realized how dark it had gotten and how quickly time seemed to pass.

"Oh thank goodness it's you!" As the person talking walked closer to me, I was able to make out the figure of Mike, who was speed walking to me and embraced me in a hug.

"Dude, what happened to you?" asked Jaime.

"I got lost." I stated flatly as Mike let me go.

"Funny really, you're only about a block from our house." smiled Vic as we began to walk back in the direction of their, our, house.

"Mom and dad are freaking out. They are going to bombard you with questions as soon as you walk through the front door." laughed Mike. He hung his arm around my shoulders as we walked home.

TONY'S POV

"Dude really? Did you have to be that rude?" asked Mike as soon as Tay had left the basement.

"What? I was just stating a fact. It's not like you never said it." I defended.

"Well yeah, but to her face dude?" he asked again.

"Aright I'm sorry, it was a little uncalled for." I stated. Maybe it was uncalled for. Man, now I feel bad. I don't talk often but when I do, I somehow manage to fuck things up. Whatever I'll worry about that later.

After band practice, we all headed to Vic and Mike's house to hang out and watch some movies or something. Once we arrived though, we made Mama and Papa Fuentes freak out.

"What do you mean that she isn't with you? Where is she if not with you?" asked Papa Fuentes to Vic and Mike.

"She said that she wanted to look around the town for a bit on her own, I just figured that she'd be able to find her way back." stated Vic.

"Well have you tried calling her? How long has she been on her own for?" asked Mama Fuentes.

"Actually, we never exchanged numbers now that I think about it." replied Mike. Both parents began freaking out again about all the things that could have happened to her, and they were right, it's late, it's dark, and there is a girl wandering the streets of San Diego on her own with no idea where she's headed. After telling both parents that we would find her Mike, Jaime, Vic and I walked back out of the house in search for their precious Tay.
