With Death Etched In My Heart

Chapter 25: We Meet Again

And for the first time ever....

*Emmy's Point of View*

Asher and I drove home in silence. I didn't know what to think. It was clear that Deseray was into Asher. And Asher, her. It was totally obvious. She blushed so much, she acted as if she was ten all over again. I mean, yeah she was a nice girl and all, but I don't know. I didn't know her well, and I didn't want Asher getting hurt. I wouldn't know what to do about it.

As for the other guys, they were great. The twins were clearly mischivious. Thye were hilarious though. Everything they said was turned into a pun of some sort. They just had the aura of comedy. But Destry... He was so mysterious. Those vibrant grey eyes full of so much emotion, the way he talked, everything. He was so.... Different. It intrigued me. Not to mention he wasn't half bad looking. All in all, I would love to get to know these guys better.

Ahser suddenly coughed, bringing me from my train of thought. "Hey, um, everyhting okay?" He asked, looking at me intently from the passenger side.

"Of course. I'm just thinking about a lot, don't worry about it." I smiled. Really, there wasn't much.

"Fine." He looked out the window, and silenced himself.

This was basically the trip to the hotel.

I silently parked into the hotel, and shut off the engine. We got out without a word, and headed up to the hotel.

We strutted through the revolving doors, and not even ten seconds were we in the building that we heard the obnoxious screeches coming from the lobby.

"Asher! Em!" In unison, we turned our heads, both equally suprised. The twins were running towards us at an immaculate speed, grins plastere donto their faces.

"We knew you'd be here soon!" Ashlee chirped.

"Yep, that's why were down here. We were waiting to see if you all wanted to chill at our room with us." Jake cocked his ehad slightly. He was adorable. Both of them were.

I looked to Ash, and he silently nodded, confirming my decision. I beamed at the two. "Of course we would."

Not too far from where the twins, Asher, and I were, Destry and Deseray were standing, silently talking to eachother, and occasionally throwing glances our way. They seemed very secretive. I narrowed my eyes slightly, curiosity already taking over. I didn't know if they were talking about us, but whatever it was, I wanted to know.

"Alright, lets go." Jake grabbed Asher'sarm, draggin him away,  and Ashlee grabbed mine.

An electric current flooded my veins, and I tore from his grip, anxiety taking over. 

"Woah, are you okay?" He whispered, guilt clouding his crystal eyes.

Tears pricked my eyes. I rubbed the spot gently where he had grabbed. "it's nothing, I'm fine. Lets go." I forced a smile.

He nodded. "Okay."

The four of us met with Destry and Des, and they guided us to their room. 

Des nodded to me, and smiled at Asher, immediatley conversing with him. I turned away, and went to stand beside him.

"Hi." I said shyly.

He glanced at me suprisingly, and smiled gently. "Hey."

"So yeah. Hang out tonight. Sounds fun." He nodded.

"Yeah, it does. I'm excited."

We pattered behind the others, halting when Des pulled her card key out, and swiping it in the slot.

The door buzzed, allowing us in.

No supriuse, it was similar to our own, just smaller.

"Welcome to our home." Des gestured, throwing her bag to the floor, and kickg off her shoes.

The others followed her lead. I did the same.

"The twins crashed on one of the beds, while the rest of us sat on the other.

"What are we going to do tonight?" Des asked.

"I don't know, whatever you all want. You're the guests." Destry Aimed to us, with a spark lighting in his eyes. He peeked at me, and Asher coughed.

"We pop in movies?" Asher suggested, frustration in his voice. What's with the newfound attitude?

Everyone murmured in agreement.

"Truth or Dare." Ashlee yelled, and Jake chimed in indiginitiously.

Destry rolled his eyes. "Boys, this is a group decision. Ask Em and Ash what they want.

"I'm fine with whatever." Asher and I said in unison. He glanced at me, smirking. Des eyed us both carefully. I squirmed under her gaze.

"Okay, whenever you're all ready, we'll play."
