"WAKE up sleepyheads! I have donuts!" A voice rang through the voice.

It was Lily Rose.

Alicia groaned and buried her head in her pillow.

"Come on everyone! I have coffee too!" She called.

Alicia sighed and stumbled out of her room.

When she got out there, she saw her sister exiting her room.

"How is she not hungover?" Skyler asked as she rubbed her eyes and stretched.

"I don't know." Alicia shook her head. "Let's get down there before Jace eats everything."

Skyler let out a sigh and followed her sister downstairs.

When they got down there, Jace was already leaning against a counter eating a donut and Joe was sipping his coffee.

"I called it." Alicia said as she was looking at Jace.

"You did." Skyler replied.

Jace swallowed. "What?"

Skyler and Alicia giggled at each other and Lily Rose shook her head.

"I think they're making fun of you." Lily Rose whispered.

Jace gave them the finger then took another bite of his donut.

After college, the five friends decided to move back to Ohio together. It was perfect because then Joe got drafted to the Cincinnati Bengals football team in the NFL.

It was the off-season, so that meant they could hang out with him a lot more. But they did miss going to home games, but the season would be starting again before they know it.

Skyler and Alicia each took a donut, then sat down at the little island bar in the middle of the kitchen.

"How the fuck are you not hungover, Lily Rose?" Alicia asked after taking a bite.

"I don't know." Lily Rose shrugged.

"I honestly admire you for it, Lils." Skyler added with a nod.

Lily Rose smiled to herself and Jace and Joe gave each other a look.

"Thanks." She muttered and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Ahem, so I'm going to the gym, but I will see you guys in about an hour." Joe spoke up.

Jace nodded.

"Sounds good." Skyler said.

"Okay." Lily Rose said.

"Kill it, gym rat." Alicia replied and held out her fist.

Joe gave her a fist bump and smiled.

Lily Rose and Skyler gave each other a look and a smirk.

"Alright. See ya!"

"Bye!" They all echoed.

Alicia sighed. "I'm going back to sleep after this. And then I'll be up to get ready for tonight."

"Yeah, same." Skyler agreed.

"What? I thought us three girls were gonna chill and Jace was gonna...go away or something." Lily Rose furrowed her eyebrows.

"Why am I always getting kicked out?" Jace asked.

The three girls said nothing and just stared at him.

"I hate you guys." Jace squinted and took the last bite of his donut. "Anyway, I'm stealing Alicia for the day and you two can have a nice girls day."

Lily Rose smiled. "Okay."
