**Ross POV**

I walked back outside to join everyone again. I looked around the yard looking for something to occupy myself; I decided to join Rocky and Ryland in throwing the football

"Rocky pass it." I joined in and Rocky obeyed throwing me the ball, catching it against my chest. Putting my fingers across the white lace I throw the football towards Ryland

"So how's Kairi?" Rocky asks, catching the football in his hands, only to throw it to me seconds later. Catching the ball I let it roll on my fingers from hand to hand.

"Uh, I think she's good. She didn't say-"

"Dude!" I snapped my head to Ryland who had an annoyed look on his face. When I realized I still had the football in my hands.

"Oh, sorry." I apologize; I throw him a sloppy pass, causing him not to catch it.

"Well at least you guys have 5 days together before we leave." I nodded my head in agreement. At the corner of my eye I saw Kairi walk through the sliding glass door. She looked over at me and smiled, but then got sucked away by Rydel. She turned her attention to her and walked away with her giggling.

A few minutes later, Tyson showed up. She greeted him by hugging and kissing him quickly on the lips. It's kind of weird seeing Rydel with a guy, he better not hurt her. I don't think he will though he's a pretty good guy, I approve of him, for now. After a couple of minutes I realized how uncomfortable Kairi looked third wheeling. I threw the ball once more to Ryland before I made my way over to save her.

"Hey Tyson." I bumped fists with him before draping my arms over Kairi's shoulders, she relaxed at my touch.

"Oh hey, how's your ankle Kairi?" Tyson asked looking down at her ankle. Kairi let out a small laugh

"It's good, nothing but a scar now." a smile grew on Tyson's face.

"Okay, good. I'm still really sorry about it."

"Dude don't be, just think if you didn't then you wouldn't have met Rydel." Kairi exclaimed, looking at the couple. I rested my head on top of hers letting out a sigh. Rydel moved closer to Tyson wrapping her arm around his.

"Yeah, you're right." She said looking up at him. Tyson leaned down and whispered in her ear, a smile appeared on her face. She started nodding her head, agreeing to what ever Tyson was saying. I narrowed my eyes at them, giving them a confused look, Rydel saw the way I was staring at them and moved her ear away from Tyson.

"Well, we’ll talk to you guys later!" She said before quickly running off with Tyson.

Kairi movie away from under my head and took my hand, leading me over to the pool. She plopped down on the ground and took off her shoes, and dipped her feet in the water. After about half her calf being in the water she looked up at me and nodded for me to come down and join her. I slipped off my flip flops, copying her actions by putting my feet in the cool water.  Placing my hand on the ark of her back, drawing small circles with my index finger.

"Does Tyson know that you guys are going on tour?" she asked, not looking away from the water.

"Yeah, she told him yesterday" I moved closer to her, fully putting my arm around her.

"Oh, what did he say?"

"I don't know, Rydel didn't really tell us. All she said is that he told him." she rested her head on my shoulder. “Don’t worry it'll go by fast." I started rubbing her arm, comforting her.

**Kairi POV**

"So... You had a mullet when you were younger..." I amusingly asked the corners of my mouth turning into a smile. While on the other hand Ross was frowning, clearly kicking himself in the ass for telling me.
