Ashley's POV

The others joined us on the couch and handed us sodas they had gotten when walking through the Warped Tour crowd. Juliet sat on Andy's lap and they were whispering stuff that no one wanted to hear. Jinxx was arguing with Jake with the food in the refrigerator, saying, and I quote, "the strawberries should be kept on the lower shelf not the higher shelf, because if they aren't lower CC will eat them." I rolled my eyes. They kept arguing until Andy went over there and moved the strawberries to the lower and grabbed a chocolate milk. He liked chocolate milk, I don't know why. The wine cooler is really what I'm in most of the time.

"Anyone really hungry?" I asked them.

"Yeah. I haven't eaten yet." Lacy said from my lap. Her eyes still closed.

"C'mon then." I said. "Pen is awake. Guys?"
"Yeah. I need food!" CC yelled. Pen slammed her hands against the plastic sides of the crib. Lacy got up and picked her up. She grabbed Pen's bag and sat back down on the couch.

"Are we going or not?"

"Yeah, let's head over to that strip mall. They have a lot of food choices." Jinxx said That grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge. We nodded. I took off my jacket since it was incredibly hot outside and we went.

"Can you grab my jacket off of my arm? I'm afraid I'm going to drop Penelope." Lacy said. I nodded and pulled off her jacket and threw it on the couch. We walked past the crazy fans and haters, I kept a steady hand on Lacy's back and she held Pen close to her. A crazy guy in a backwards hat came up to us and spat in my face, calling me a freak and a woman. I knocked him backwards with my fist. He wiped away the blood forming on his mouth. He ran away.

"Lacy what would you like?" I asked her. Pen grabbed for my hand and put it in her mouth. I didn't move my hand.

"Wendy's, please. Just a normal ten piece chicken meal." She said playing with a strand of Pen's hair. She smiled and drooled on herself. Ashley laughed.

"Okay. I'll be right back." I said. Then ran off towards Wendy's. Lacy was showing Pen her phone and Pen was playing some game while they sat in the lobby. I walked through the door and ordered her her food and got her a frosty because I knew she liked to dip her french fries in the freezy. I thought it was cute. I bought the same and got myself a freezy too because I always wanted to know what fries in a milkshake tastes like. And I was always too hesitant to try it before when she offered. I walked back and handed her a bag and the frosty.

"Thank you." She said. I smiled and kissed her lips gently. I sat down next to her on the bench in the lobby and started to eat. She dipped the fry in her frosty and took a bite out of the fry. I smiled.

"I'm now not so hesitant to try that." I said. She laughed,

"It's good I promise." She said. I nodded and dipped the fry in my freezy and sighed before putting it in my mouth. I chewed and nodded my head,
"It's good." I said.

"I told you. I never would lie to you." I gave her a smirk,

"You lied to me a lot when you had those episodes."

"Not my fault, Lucas's. The brain disease caused the episodes, I wasn't purposefully lying to you. Come on Ash, you know I would never lie to you on purpose." She said. I hugged her to my side and kissed her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said. We ate half of our food when the rest of BVB walked up with Fit For Rivals at their side. They carried Burger King bags and sat next to us on the bench. We ate and talked and laughed. I grossed Andy out by eating the french fry with the freezy. He gagged,

"God Ashley stop it, that's gross." He said. He gave him a shrug and sighed. CC played basketball with pieces of french fries and Jinxx's mouth as a hoop. I laughed and aimed one, hitting him in the forehead.

"Good thing you're a musician, because you could never make it as an athlete with that throw." Jinxx said picking the fry off of the ground.

"Don't. You. Dare." Jake said looking at the fry. Jinxx gave him a devilish grin. "Come on that has dirt on it. Don't eat that." Jinxx inched it closer to his mouth and Jake flinched. "No." I said. "Don't." He inched it closer. "Please. No." He put the fry in his mouth and smiled a devious smile. Jake gagged.

"Mmm. Fry with dirt on it." Jinxx said evilly. Lacy laughed and watched as Jake threw up into a potted plant. I laughed and Ash sighed. Andy face palmed and CC laughed at him.

"Very professional." Andy sighed. Jinxx smiled at Jake, evilly.

"You're disgusting." Jake said, gagging again. Jinxx smiled. Lacy laughed and broke up one of the chicken nuggets to feed to Pen. She feed them to her since Pen was already growing into some baby teeth. She made baby sounds and laughed. She reached her head forward and ate another piece of chicken. Juliet looked at her and smiled,

"She's so adorable." Lacy smiled and thanked her.

"Those are my genes." I said, jokingly. Lacy hit me.

"It's going to be a good surprise not the bad kind, I promise. It's not like a Jinxx in a haunted house surprise." CC said. Jinxx shot him an 'I will kill you' glance.

"What happened at the haunted house?" Lacy asked. Jinxx shook his head.

"Nothing." Jinxx yelled. Lacy gave him a hesitant glance.

"Spill it." Lacy yelled back at him.

"Never." Jinxx said.

"Come on, if you won't spill it, I will." CC said.

"Coma if you dare I will cut you up and put you in my closet." He gave him an evil glare. "You know I will."

"No. No I don't." CC said.

"You know that chihuahua that you found after a gig?" CC nodded. "You know how it wouldn't stop biting me and I threatened to do the same to it?" CC gasped. "Yep." Renee shook her head.

"I'm not buying it, Jinxx is nice. He would never kill a dog." Jinxx gave Lacy a 'do you really believe that?' look. She nodded.

"So what happened was--"Andy started,

"Andy! How could you?!" He yelled. Andy laughed.

"We were at a haunted house and we wanted to scare Jinxx so we told the guys to yell at him and call his name. But they misheard." Andy paused to laugh. "Instead of Jeremy, his name, they called him Jerry. So the entire time these guys were just calling out, 'Je---rry, Je---rry'." Andy laughed. Jinxx hid his face in his hands.

"Aww. Why didn't you tell me that?" Sammi asked, Jinxx looked up.

"I thought you would think I was weird."

"You are weird. But in a hot way." Sammi said kissing him. CC faked throwing up and Jinxx hit him. "Really?" Jinxx asked, surprised.

"Of course Jinxx-y." She said. CC gagged and Jinxx hit him. I watched as Pen and Lacy looked at each other. I was as if someone flashed a light on them. They seemed to be the only ones there for each other. I smiled, Pen's eyes lit up again as Lacy held the frosty spoon towards Pen's mouth.

"Is she allowed to eat that?" Juliet asked.

"Yeah. The doctors say cold things like ice cream help her growing teeth." Lacy said. We had done our research: before and after. I held onto Lacy's hand as she looked up at me. She smiled at me, a warm Lacy-smile that always seemed to light up the darkest room.

"This weekend we're off. Do you want to go to Sam's or something to get more baby stuff?" I asked her, she nodded and kissed me. CC gagged again and I caught him in a headlock.

"Ashley! You're not setting a good example." Sammi said.

"But he!" I started. Smmi shook her head and smirked, I let go of CC's neck and as soon as she had turn around, CC stuck his tongue out at me. "CC stuck his tongue at me!" I yelled, attracting attention from other adults.

"C;mon Ash. You're not 4." Andy sighed eating a french fry.

"He started it!" I whined.

"I'm ending it." Andy said rolling his eyes. I sighed and shoved CC who fell off the bench. Pen laughed as her hands slapped against her legs. Lacy laughed. Jinxx dusted his hands and took Sammi's and his trash to the trash can.

"Guys, you know Jinxx's birthday is coming up." Ella said as Jinxx got out of earshot.

"Yeah. He's not too excited about it." Sammi said.

"I wouldn't be either. My birthday's after his." Juliet said pouting. Andy hugged her and Juliet turned to him and he gave her a kiss.

"It's okay baby, you're still beautiful." He said.

"Aww." Juliet said and kissed him.

"Yeah two birthdays. I wonder... how will we celebrate his?"

"Alcohol!" I yelled.

"No. That's how we'll celebrate yours, the 28th!" Lacy said hugging me.

"Oh. Right."

"Except we'd invite--" CC started.

"That enough!" Juliet yelled.

"--some college professors to help us study and work on homework." CC finished. Lacy rolled her eyes.

"Yeah. Because middle aged men need to study and do homework." Andy said sarcastically. Everyone turned to look at CC, who was trying to see how many french fries he could fit in his mouth. He looked at us and tried to speak, though the french fries spilled out when he did.

"Aw! Come on!" We all yelled. CC laughed and picked up the fries off of the ground.

"5 second rule!" CC yelled, stuffing the fries back into his mouth. There were more 'aw c'mons' afterwards.
"CC that's not...dude those were in you mouth. At least Jinxx's fry was just normally dropped." Lacy said. Pen laughed and gnawed on my finger. I kissed Pen's forehead.

"Eww!" Sammi said as CC pulled some lint out of his mouth. "That's why you don't eat stuff off the floor. Especially after it drops out of your mouth." CC shrugged.

Lacy's POV

(The weekend)
We were at Sam's. Pen was sitting in the baby cart and we wheeled inside. The place was huge! There was everything! Andy laughed at my amazement. He and Juliet both wanted to come. The others decided they would rather sleep and eat and watch movies on the weekend. We walked through the aisles. I didn't think people ate this much food. Sam's must contribute to America's obesity levels. Ashley and Andy then got into a childish fight and somehow (I have no idea) Ashley's head ended up in a trash can. Juliet split them up and we kept walking. Oh. My. Mother of heaven.

"Ashley...am I dead?" I asked. He looked towards the aisle I was looking at. He smiled,

"No. Lacy you're still alive." He said. There they were. Beautiful. Magnificent. Muffins. In big 6 packs, the size of a person's (normal sized) palm. "Get some." Ash said. I nodded slowly, my eyes still fixed on the muffins. I put two packs of the muffins in the cart and we kept going. Ashley said we needed strawberries so we walked into this big freezer. Pen was handed to Ashley and Juliet and I watched as they blew into the air. Pen tried to catch her breath and Ash laughed as she clapped the mist.

"Aww." Julie said. We grabbed the strawberries and put them in the cart. We walked through the camping aisle, which Juliet and I found was a bad idea. Because not only were there camping supplies, there were also big sheds.

"Where's Ash?" I asked Andy, who was making a very guilty expression. Juliet stared at him,

"Andy...?"

"I. Have. No. Idea. Where Ash is." He said shifting his weight from leg to leg. Suddenly there was a bang from inside the shed. I looked at Andy and he shrugged. I looked at Julie. There was another bang from the inside of the shed and I heard Ashley's voice later on,
"Hey!" He yelled. I looked at Andy again and flicked him in the head.

"Ow." He said rubbing the side of his head. I rolled my eyes and opened the shed. Ashley walked out and punched Andy in the arm.

"I think we're all shopped out." I said, eyeing a sleeping Penelope. I held Penelope, her back rising and falling at a tempo all her own. I smiled down at her and held Ashley's hand. I walked back on the bus and put Penelope in the foldable crib and watched as she snuggled into the blanket. I smiled and snuggled myself into Ashley's side. He held onto me with hands around my stomach, kissing the spot above my ear. I felt him clench my hands with his. His fingers meshed with mine.

"I love you Ashley." I said looking up at him.

"I love you too baby." He said kissing my forehead. I smiled at him and leaned up to meet his lips with mine. His eyes closed so that I could not see the sparkle that I always saw deep inside them. I rested my head on his chest and that's how we fell asleep.

Jake's POV

"Guys c'mon, let them sleep." I pleaded as Andy and CC held the blow horn close to their faces.

"No. That's not fun." Andy said.

"Plus. This is punishment." CC added.

"Punishment for what?" I asked.

"Drinking the last Monster." Andy said.

"That actually wasn't them that was--" too late. Andy blew the horn and Lacy and Ashley bolted awake, "--me." Andy and CC looked at me.

"You could have told us that before we blew the horn."

"I tried." I said.

"There better be a ---  good reason why you're waking us up." Ashley said, Andy pointed at CC, CC at me, and me towards Andy. Lacy groaned and closed her eyes,

"You get a 3 second head start to run," Lacy sighed, "1...," we looked at each other, "...2...," we started panicking, "...3...," we ran. Andy closed himself in the bathroom (the only good hiding spot) and I dashed into the supply closet where I knew no one would look. CC was in the open, but it was every man for himself at that point. I did a tiny salute and watched (through the crack in the door) as CC was tackled to the ground in a headlock as Lact put makeup on him.

"Please tell me this is not permanent." CC pleaded.

"I would...," CC sighed, "but then I'd be lying. This makeup usually stays on for...hmm...about a week or so." Lacy let him up and ran away. "Now to find...Dumb and Dumber." I felt the dusty storage space begin to take hold on me. I held my nose as I waited for the sneeze to pass. The footsteps passed by the door and I slightly breathed. The footsteps discontinued and I flinched,

"Come out, come out, wherever you are...Jakey's gonna' get caught!" Lacy yelled. I backed deeper into the closet and held my breath.

"C'mon Jake...we're not gonna'  hurt you." Ashley said. I smirked to myself yeah right I thought. "We just want to talk." I stayed put and he kept walking.

"I can't find Jake. Did you find Andy?"

"No!" Lacy yelled back.

"Where can they be?" Ash asked.

"I don't know. Keep looking."

"Hold on! Where would Jake hide where no one else would look?!" Ash exclaimed. Please don't say storage closet, please don't say storage closet.

"Storage closet!" Lacy said and opened the door. ---.

"Haha! Got him!" Ash said. I gave him my deer-in-headlights look and dashed away, screaming,

"LEAVE ME ALONE! THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT! I TOLD THEM TO STOP!"

"CC? Is this true?" Lacy asked.

"Yeah. He said stop." CC said. Ashley stopped chasing me when I got into the stabbin' cabin. We walked back into the living room and I sat on the chair,

"I'm going to the gym." I said and went to grab a bottled water and my gym shoes. Jinxx said he would come too. So he walked out with his bag and eyed CC, then laughed so hard he fell to the ground holding his sides,

"HAHAHAHA!!!!! CC you look like a --- girl."

Ashley's POV

"We found Jake. Found CC...now where's Andy?" I asked, Lacy shrugged. I sighed and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

"Stop it Ash, we need to focus." Lacy said grabbed the beer and putting it back into the fridge. I looked from the fridge to Lacy and felt the sad withdrawal of not being able to drink. I forced back my feelings and we kept searching.

Andy's POV

I stayed in the bathroom, sitting on the closed toilet seat. I brushed my hair a thousand times before I realized I had my phone in my pocket. It vibrated in my pocket and sent chills up my ass. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw the caller I.D was Juliet. I turned the volume down and answered her,

"Where are you? Lacy and Ashley are losing their minds." Juliet said.

"I can't tell you. Just in case Lacy and Ashley bribed you. They will kill me when they find me." I said.

"Fine. I'll see what I can do to sneak you out of the bus. Then maybe you and I could go get some beer and hang out. Together. Alone." She said seductively. I needed to get out of the bathroom.

"That would be amazing. I love you Julie."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming. Love you too, run when I yell run." She said. Then hung up. I sat there in silence as I heard them tearing apart the bus. Then a loud knock on the door almost made me scream, but luckily enough batman does not scream.

"Whoever's in the bathroom, please hurry up! I really need to use the bathroom. You should not drink six Monsters in the span of 1 hour." Jake said. I did not have anywhere else to go. Jake and Jinxx, I thought, were at the gym. I stayed silent and laughed inside my head as Jake got angry and stalked away.

"Hey Ashley, hey Lacy." Juliet said. They smiled and said hello, "soo...you know I think I saw some hello kitty merch seller, they just passed by but I think if you run you can catch them." She said.

"OHMYGOSH!" Ash yelled. He ran off of the bus and went to find the non existent merch seller.

"Oh and there's wine in the cooler." Julie said, which lured Lacy away from my hiding spot and she left to the cooler. I unlocked the door, ready for escape. "RUN!" She yelled and I dashed out. I dodged CC who tried to grab me before I got off the bus.

"Come on!" I yelled to Julie and she saluted the others before running to me. I held her hand and we dashed past the people to a bar outside the gates. We got inside and laughed to each other. I left her at the table to get us some beers but before I did I found two hands gripping my shirt as they pushed me against the wall. He slammed me into the wall again and again as Julie tried to pry him off, yelling in loud cries,

"Leave him alone! You bastard, leave him alone!" He pushed her back and she fell into a table and onto the floor. I felt anger rise up in me and clenched my fist and socked him right in the nose. That's when I got a good look at him. It was Lucas.

Lacy's POV

I drank my Miller Lite as I snuggled into Ashley's side. He looked at me with pouty eyes and I gave him a strange glance. He reached  for the beer and I held it out to him. He grabbed for it but I lifted it to my lips. I pulled the beer away from my mouth and gave him an evil smirk. He smiled and grabbed the beer from me and took a sip.

"So, so evil."  Ash said laughing. I smiled and hugged onto him. He pulled me onto his lap so that I faced him with my legs crossed. I draped my arms across his shoulders and smiled at him. He smiled at me. A shooting pain shot through my head and I flinched and held my head. "Lacy....are you alright?"

"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine." I said shaking my head. I still held my head from the pain still coursing. I fell against Ashley's chest and flinched at every shooting pain.

"Lacy, Lacy. What's wrong?" He said holding me close. I couldn't speak. I opened my mouth but no words came out. He pulled me away from him, allowing him to look at me. I opened my mouth and still nothing. "Lacy...did you take your pills last night?" I shook my head. He laid me down on the couch and ran to the bathroom. I grabbed the pill case and pulled the dosage out and ran back to the couch. I handed her the pills and a water bottle off of the coffee table and handed that to her too. She took the pills and drank them down.

"Ahhh.....shhhh......" I tried, speaking was coming back to me. "Ashley...oh my gosh, Ashley." I held onto him around the middle.

"It's okay...it's all okay." He said, kissing the spot above my ear. I sighed and stood up to go check on Penelope. She stared up at me with wide eyes and a big smile accompanied by her hand in her mouth.

"Hey baby girl, how are you? I love you baby girl, come on...do you want to go see daddy?" She smiled and wiggled around on the blanket. "I'll take that as a yes." I laughed and picked her up and walked towards Ashley, who smiled when I sat on his lap.

"Fuck." He said. I gave him a scolding look. "Sorry. You're butt is just bony on my leg." I smiled.

"Sorry." I said laughing. I shifted on his leg and he flinched. "Sorry." He smiled.

"Hewo my little love bug, how are you?" Ash asked, as Penelope played with his face. She slapped him with her little baby hands and tried to stick her fingers in his mouth. He pulled away which resulted in a new game to be formed where Ash would pull away when Penelope tried to stick her fingers in his mouth. This went on and on and on till 5 minutes later when Jake and Jinxx got back.

"We got a text from Andy. He said he was in trouble." Jinxx said. Ashley gave me a shocked face and checked his own phone.

"Yeah, he's at the bar." Ash said.

"I'll watch Penelope, you guys go." Jake said and we left out the bus door towards the bar. As soon as it was in view we heard yelling and cursing coming from the inside. Andy's voice could be heard alongside a sickening familiar voice,

"WHERE'S THAT BITCH?!" The voice yelled.

"FUCK OFF! YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" That was Andy, man that guy said fuck a lot. We ran inside and I came face to face with a huge fight. Andy was covered in alcohol, which I was guessing was because he was shoved into the table, which overturned glasses. The guy had his lip bleeding and his eye was swollen but Andy was worse with a limp in his leg and blood covering his face. He held his side as he tried to fight off the guy.

"Andy!" Ashley yelled and grabbed the guy by his shirt and slung him to the floor. When Ashley gets angry, he gets super human strength. The guy spat at Ashley and grabbed for his neck. Juliet was grabbing for Andy and she pulled him close to her and checked his wounds. Ashley got on top of the guy and started to nail several punches to his face until the man was bleeding from several gashes on his face,

"Ashley stop it!" I yelled. He stood up.

"YOU BITCH!" The man on the floor said as he swiped away the blood. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me down, my head slammed on the floor in a way that made me curl into a ball and gasp for breath. "I'll make you pay for the things you did!" He said. Then started to nail punches and kicks to my stomach.

"Get off of her!" Ashley yelled and kicked the man off. I cried and turned on my stomach and curled into an upward ball as I held my stomach. "Lacy we got to get you to the hospital."

"Agh...I can't move...I can't move...it hurts...it hurts. Please no...it hurts." I groaned and started crying harder.

"Jinxx can you call a taxi?" Ashley asked, Jinxx nodded and ran outside. Juliet helped Andy, who was slowly drifting off, outside as Ashley picked me up bridal style. The taxi driver came and we got into the car.

Ashley's POV

I held Lacy on my lap as the taxi driver drove. It let as he was going incredibly slow on purpose so I kind of lost my temper,

"Come on man! We have dying people back here! Can you please! Drive! Faster!" I yelled and the guy started to drive faster towards the hospital. He stopped the taxi and I paid then we dashed inside with Andy and Lacy being helped. The people at the front desk gave us skeptical looks,

"Gonna have to sit in the waiting room and sign these papers." The front desk lady said. I slammed my fist on the desk,

"They're hurt! Find someone to help them or we'll talk to the person who pays your bills and make sure you don't get any more pay. They are fucking bleeding!" I yelled. The lady and the nurses around stopped what they were doing and turned sir heads.

"I'll go see what I can do." She said and then called up a doctor who came and helped take Andy and Lacy to the ICU. Jinxx, Juliet, and I waited in the waiting room waiting for the nurse to come back and allow us to see them. I texted Jake and Sammi and CC.

We're at the hospital, there was a fight down at the bar with Lucas and Andy and Lacy. They're in the ICU right now. Andy was bleeding pretty bad and Lacy got hit really hard.

Jake responded, okay, we will be right there then CC texted,

Coming right there then Sammi,

I'm bringing Penelope and we're coming right there.

I pocketed my phone. The nurse still hadn't come back. "They're coming. Sammi's bringing Penelope." I said, Jinxx nodded. The nurse started back to us and said,

"You can come with me." She said and took us back to the ICU where Lacy and Andy were laying in separate hospital beds. Andy had gauze around his head and his chest was wrapped. He still had dried blood on his face. Lacy was lying there with a huge bruise on her head and her stomach covered in bruises and cuts.

"Um. So, Mr. Biersack has 3 broken ribs and a concussion and he lost a bit of blood sigh the cuts and the gash on his head. We had to stitch the gash up." The nurse said. Juliet kissed Andy and he smiled and held her hand. Lacy clenched the blanket in her hand and flinched at the touch of me holding her hand. The nurse stopped me from my continuing my hand holding. "Mrs. Stevens has ribs broken and her forearm is broken alongside her concussion and her bruised stomach and her head."

"I...where am I...who...who are you?" She said looking around the room.

"You're in the hospital baby, here, I brought your meds." I said. I handed her her pills and she took them. Her eyes slowly closed as she flinched from the pain. The nurse gave her some pain meds. I held onto her other hand and she smiled. Jinxx pulled Sammi onto his lap on the chair. Juliet cried some when she looked at Andy.

"Julie, Julie it's going to be okay. I'm okay. Just some blood and broken bones. It's not as bad as some other shit I've gotten myself into." Andy laughed, Juliet laughed nervously and rubbed his hand with her other hand.

"I know...I know..." Juliet said, nodding while she cried.

"But...Lucas is back. He must be out of prison. We have to watch and protect Lacy closer now...he knows you're here..." Andy said.

"Yeah. We won't be going to that bar again. But the good thing about being an alcohol lover is that I know where all the bars are." I said.

"Yes Ashley......that's exactly what we need to be worrying about. What would we do without you?" Jake said sarcastically.

"I do not know." I said shrugging. We laughed. Lacy sighed and held her ribs as she did so. "So how long will they be in the hospital?" I asked the nurse.

"Overnight and maybe a little bit tomorrow.  For some check ups and meds." The nurse said. Andy sighed and scooted to the left on his hospital bed. Juliet laid down next to him on the right. The nurse looked like she was going to interject but Andy interrupted her,

"Nah. If I'm going to be staying in the hospital for tonight and half of tomorrow. I'm sleeping with my girlfriend." He said. Juliet smiled and snuggled into his side.

"Lacy...?"

"Come here." She said.

"So practice tomorrow at 3:00. We're gonna go back to our buses and we'll see you guys tomorrow at 10." Jinxx said standing up. Sammi followed and the guys nodded. They left a couple minutes later and the nurse turned off the light so we could sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juliet's POV

I woke up on the floor. Which was kind of funny and reminded me of the beginning of Let it Ride. I stood up and dusted myself off and pulled some dust out of my mouth, because I sleep with my mouth open.

"Ugh." I said. I slid back beside Andy and watched as his eyes fluttered open and he cracked a beautiful goofy smile.

"Morning." He said.

"Why does everything you say have to be so goddamn sexy?" I asked him laughing. He shrugged and smiled a sexier smile,

"It's a gift." He said. I rolled my eyes and rested my head on his chest. He flinched a bit and I bit my lip. "Ow." He said.

"Sorry, is this better?" I moved my head upwards on his chest and then kissed his neck four times, finding my way towards his lips. He cracked a sexy smile and said,

"Oh yeah. Way better." I smiled and kissed his bottom lip and then top and then bit my lip before kissing them both. Wow...out of context that sounds super dirty, I apologize. Andy shifted and rolled onto his side. He propped up on his elbow and smiled.

Ashley's POV

I woke up next to Lacy, the best way to wake up, and kissed the tip of her nose. She smiled but kept her eyes closed.

"Ashley....I'm tired...." She groaned.

"I know...but I'm bored and you always fix that." I said seductively into her ear. She shivered. Her beautiful blue eyes opened and she glared at me.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.........???" She said pouting.

"Aww you look so cute when you pout. Not like you don't look cute all the time." I rolled out of bed and yawned. "Are you hungry?" She yawned and nodded. "K. I'm going to go see if there's any muffins in the cafeteria. Because this looks like a muffin kind of morning." I smiled.

"Every morning is a muffin morning." She said. I smiled and kissed her forehead before going to the door and stopping to turn around, Lacy was snuggled underneath the covers with her eyes closed. I smiled.

"Woooow. You have no self control."

"Shhhhh......I'm tired." She said, I could hear her cracking a smile. I walked out into the hallway and found the cafeteria down the hall. I looked around the closer shaped cafeteria and found some packages of muffins. Honestly there were too many kinds of muffins to count so I got a pack, they came in 3's, of each, 5 kinds, and paid for them. I opened the chocolate chip muffin package and started eating one. I got back to the room and set the muffin packages on the hospital table. Lacy sat up.

"I kinda ate one." I said taking another bite. She furrowed her eyebrows and smiled.

"No self control," she turned her head to look at the muffins on the table, "holy cow Ashley, that's a whole lot of muffins." She said.

"Uh yeah. I didn't know which one was you favorite." I said.

"Hold on," she said pulling out her phone. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out and looked at it. She had texted me, right now, blueberry.

"Oh. You made your point. Eh, we'll have extras for the bus." She smiled.

"15 muffins. Those will be gone quick." She said eating a blueberry muffin. I smiled and threw away my muffin wrapper. Lacy smiled and Andy and Juliet helped themselves to the muffins. The nurse walked in and everyone jumped. Juliet accidentally spit in Andy's face. She turns slowly towards him,

"I'm sorry, she scared me. And I spit when I'm scared." She said. The nurse checked around Andy and Lacy before letting us go. I checked my phone and found several messages from the guys.

HELPPPPPPP!!!!!! HOW DO YOU MAKE HER STOP CRYING!!!!!! WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!!!" Which was Jinxx. Sammi FaceTimed me and she was losing her mind, Sammi, not Penelope, and she yelled at CC for sitting on the refrigerator to hide from Jake.

Sammi is losing her mind, she got herself drunk and is now hysterically crying in the bathroom...... Also Jinxx.

Is the refrigerator supposed to make cat like sounds? CC said. I sighed and texted back.

If you broke the bus refrigerator, you're fixing it. I got the three dots before CC texted back to that,

Umm...well my foot went through the top of it and um...the wine cooler is empty...along with the liquor collection...

WHAT! You better have not drank my Jack Daniels. I loved that Jack. I was saving it for Lacy and I's alone night... I wrote back.

Ugh. Barf. I do NOT need to know that, he said. Then I pocketed my phone and retold the whole story to our hospital group. Minus the alone night, cause that was a surprise I was planning for my birthday. Call it a special birthday present for me.

Jinxx's POV

"Sammi keep it together." I said as she took another swig of her third bottle of wine. She was hysterically crying in the bathroom and I was trying to unstick CC's foot from the refrigerator. Jake was trying to quiet Penelope down as I was trying to quiet Sammi down.

"They're coming home soon, so please. Everyone calm down and get sober. I'm talking to you Sammi!" I yelled as CC got unstuck from the refrigerator. Jake finally set down Penelope for her nap and Sammi was drying her eyes and taking a bunch of Davila no eating peanuts to hide the alcohol smell. The bus door finally opened and in walked Juliet, Andy, Lacy, and Ashley.

"Okay train wreck, we're home. Where's the baby?" Ashley announced as he walked in.

"Penelope is--"

"--I meant the Jack Daniels. CC said the wine cooler and alcohol levels were slowly dying out." Jake rolled his eyes.
