The Other Carpenter

Two

|||| Chapter Two ||||

"Do you see them yet?" Aaron asked attempting to look above people.

"Considering you're hopping around like an idiot and I'm shorter than you probably not bro." I rolled my eyes.

Sometimes he's a Class A idiot. I still love him though. I tried looking around and I could see nothing. The perks of being short.

Note the sarcasm.

"Let me on your back. I might be able to see them." He crouched down and I got on his back.

I could see some things now and I spotted Carter. I know it was him because I mean you can't mistake Carter Reynolds. Especially when you know him. I jumped down and grabbed Aaron's hand dragging him along.

"I found them. Well Carter atleast." I shrugged.

"Close enough." Aaron shrugged.

I searched through the crowd and spotted Carter. I jumped on his back and he screamed.

"Hello Carter!" I said laughing. "I like your scream."

"You scared the shit out of me." He said holding his heart.
"Sorry Carebear." I smiled.

"Where's Cash?" I asked hopping down.

"They're outside of here. They kept the car near the front of the building."

"They only sent you in here?" Aaron asked confused.

"Yeah. They're mean. I could've been attacked by females." Carter cried.

Aaron and I laughed at him as we walked to the exit.

"You two are mean. You're on their side." Carter whined.

"Nah you all are clearly against me. Everyone's more excited to see Lily than me." Aaron pouted.

"It's alright Aaron. I'll be the only girl and you'll be the other Carpenter. The odds are stacked against both of us."

We walked out the doors and I was attacked by Nash.

"OHMYGOD! It's Little C. I miss you shorty!" He said squeezing me.

"Uh... can't breathe... missed you... too Nash." I struggled to say.

He put me down and grabbed Aaron after patting my head. He squeezed him too and Aaron didn't look enthusiastic. Cameron opened his arms when I looked at him and I hugged him.

"You're the only one who got a normal hug Cam." I laughed.

"It's because I'm original." He shrugged.

We started helping Carter pack things in the car and then we all piled in. I was between Carter and Aaron while Cameron and Nash were in the front.

"So how's Sky?" I asked Nash.

"She's good. She misses me, Hayes and you. Especially you." He grumbled.

"Aww. Is your mom going to visit you at anytime during the tour?" I asked.

"She should be. She usually does."

"Sky can see me then." I smiled.

"That works." Nash shrugged.

We arrived at the hotel and Cameron parked the car. We all filed out and the guys carried all the bags but my backpack and duffel.

"Do you have our key?" I asked.

"Carter has the key." Cameron said pressing the elevator number.

"Who are we sharing a room with?" Aaron asked.

"They stuck Hayes in your room." Nash said.

"Aww I get little Hayes." I gushed.

"You're just happy because there's finally someone younger than you." Aaron said smirking.

"Shut up Aaron. I will mess you up."

Aaron's face showed mock terror and I playfully rolled my eyes at him. He smiled back at me and we all stepped out of the elevator.

"Hayes is still taller than her though." Nash laughed.

I groaned as Carter unlocked the door. They went inside before I stepped inside. Hayes was already in there and he smiled when he seen me.

"Can I have a hug Baby H?" I asked smiling.

"You can but I don't think you should be calling me Baby H. I'm taller than you now." He laughed.

I groaned and set my stuff on my bed.

"So who hasn't showed up yet?" Aaron asked.

"Everyone's here but Taylor." Hayes said.

"Taylor's always the last one."

"I may always be the last one but-" Taylor said as he walked in, his eyes landed on me and he smiled. "And who might you be?" He asked sitting next to me.

"Liliana Carpenter." I smiled.

His face dropped and he looked at Aaron. He groaned and walked out of the room.

Matthew came in and looked around confused.

"What'd I miss?"
