Keane's POV

Tayte and I found Arlo, Angelo and Noah sleeping in bed at 9am and assumed that something had happened. I took a picture and Tayte smiled, Arlo then opened one eye.

Busted.

Soon they were all awake.

"Morning," Noah grinned and then looked at Angelo and Arlo.

"What the hell were you three up to last night?" Tayte asked,

    "Best you don't ask," Arlo winked, I laughed,

"Seriously though, you know it's 9am, I'm assuming Noah isn't going to college, so something must have happened," I said,

   "Wait, you're letting me stay off from college?" Noah said happily looking at Angelo,

"Just for today, but you have to still do some work,"

"YESSSS, I LOVE YOU," He kissed him.

"I thought you two were meant to be at work right now?" Arlo asked, running his hand through his hair,

   "I rang Rory and asked if we could come in for the afternoon evening shift, had a feeling something was up,"

"I'll make us all some breakfast and we can explain," Angelo said getting out of bed. I looked at Arlo who also got out of bed, he smiled at me. Which meant it had something to do with him.

I couldn't wait for the day when we were all okay.

...

"French toast with bacon or scrambled egg and bacon?" Angelo asked,

    "FRENCH TOAST BABY" Noah shouted, dancing around the kitchen, "Please," he then added blowing Angelo a kiss,

"Your French toast is a fan favourite," I told him, "So definitely that thank you,"

   "I agree," Tayte replied,

"Anything cooked by you," Arlo told him.

So that was a landslide victory for French toast.

"Morning darlings," we heard Auntie call, coming in, "Though what is everyone doing home?"

"We had a little bit of trouble last night," Angelo replied,

   "The fireworks?" Auntie answered,

"The fireworks," Arlo agreed.

Were Tayte and I that much dead to the world that we didn't hear any fireworks. Wow, we must have been tired. She asked if we needed any food as she and Mum were going shopping, we couldn't think on the top of our heads so said we'd text her if we thought of something.

"Honestly didn't hear anything last night," I said, "I told you I woke up feeling drugged,"

"You I'm amazed about, me, I'm a deep sleeper," Tayte said,

   "I take it you had flashbacks," I said,

"Yeah, freaked me out, but...Angelo came to my rescue,"

   "Sorry," I said sadly, walking out, because I was pissed I didn't wake up and be there to offer my support. Not at the fact that Angelo helped him.

"Keane wait," Arlo called after me.

   "I'm good," I said, stopping as he caught up with me,
