"I'm hungry." Henry complained at the back of the car. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening and we still haven't eaten anything yet. My stomach suddenly growled that I immediately hugged my belly to stop it from making that embarrassing sound.

My head automatically turned to Raymund's direction and caught him looking at me with a worried expression. Although I tried reading his facial expression to see if he was trying hard not to laugh, he wasn't so it made me uncomfortable. Moments awhile ago suddenly played in my head.

"Your jean's zipper is open." I was stunned that I couldn't move. Raymund on the other hand sat comfortably and left me dumbfounded as the sun completely set down and the moon shows up in the night sky, I was speechless until a sudden irritation rose from inside of me that I immediately screamed.

Sure. I was mad when he told me because it was embarrassing. But, still what I couldn't forget is how close his face was from me and how on earth I didn't protest? I suddenly felt my cheeks heating up as I remember how close he really was. I felt a sudden urge to avert gaze so I shifted my attention to the side walk where a complete set of band together with its music players are playing instruments. Raymund then parked the car not far from where the band is.

There was a slight paused before he unbuckled his seatbelt and turns to faced his friends at the back seat.

"You know what to do." Raymund said before getting out of the car. My eyes followed him as he walked straight to where the band is while Luke, Henry, and Zach quickly follow him.

"Where are you going?" I heard Adrianna asked.

"To play" Zach replied before shutting the door closed.

We watched them as they approached the band. Raymund looked like he's talking to the guy who was currently holding the mic who in return just nod and then smiles before handling over the mic to Raymund. The other guys on each of the instruments handed over their instruments to Luke, Henry, and Zach which they genuinely accepted.

"What's happening?" Adrianna asked.

"Let's go and find out." I replied before unbuckling my seatbelt and went out from the passenger seat while Adrianna followed me from behind.

"Mic test" Raymund said. I looked at the others and saw them tuning their instruments.

People are starting to stop and watch as they whisper something to each other. Adrianna and I went at the front to have a better look at them. Raymund noticed us.

"What are you doing?" I asked. Raymund smiled before answering.

"Trying to earn some money" He replied. I was about to say something when he averted gaze and approached the others to whisper something to their ears. Raymund approached the guy who was holding the mic awhile ago and did the same thing. The guy nod and went to ask another guy who immediately went to play the piano while the guy who was holding the mic awhile ago grabbed the acoustic guitar. Raymund returned to his position earlier as the guy whom I don't know started playing the piano to a song that seemed familiar to me followed by the acoustic guitar.

"It's him" I heard a girl said from my back. Who's who?

The music was catching the attention of the people passing by that it slowly went crowded as the calming sound of piano takes away the sound of the cars driving by as well as each and everyone's voices, I suddenly felt excited.

The intro finished and Raymund started singing.

Nothing wakes you up like waken' up alone

And all that's left of us is a cupboard full of clothes
