I woke up the next morning in the back lounge tangled in Zack's arms. I remembered sitting down to watch Despicable Me but I didn't remember when I fell asleep. I noticed we were both fully dressed and sighed in relief. I untangled myself from his massive arms and stood up before a massive wave of nausea took over me and I ran to the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach. When I had finished throwing up, there was a loud bang on the door.

"Invie, hurry up!" Alex called through the door. "I need to vomit!"

I quickly stood up, flushed the toilet and left the room so Alex could do what he needed to do. I didn't want him to vomit all over the floor. I walked out to the front of the bus and grabbed a glass of water to rinse my mouth out.

"Do we have any painkillers?" I asked Alex as he walked into the room.

"Middle draw, I think," he replied.

I opened the draw, and sure enough, there they were. I popped two out of the foil and downed them with a glass of water.

"Can you pass me a couple, please?" Alex asked. I popped out two more and handed them over. "Thanks." 

"Don't you guys have a show today?" I asked.

Alex nodded softly. "We're used to it now though."

"I'm not," I said, "and I want to go watch."

"We're not playing until later," Alex told me, "you'll be fine by then."

"Maybe," I shrugged.

"Well, I'm going back to bed," Alex announced.

"Have fun," I said before getting my phone out of my pocket. I unlocked it and saw a text from Luke that I had gotten the night before and decided to call him.

"Hey, Invie," Luke answered. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Hey, babe," I replied. "How's everything going at home?"

"It's going good," Luke replied. "How's Warped?"

"Well, it's very alcoholic," I laughed.

ZACKS POV


I woke up alone on the couch in the back lounge. I could've sworn Invidia was there when I fell asleep. I got up and stretched before walking out towards the front lounge to grab some food. I stopped when I heard Invie talking.

"Shut up, Lucas," she laughed, "you're such a dork."

I felt a twang of jealousy shoot through me. Yeah, I liked Invidia and couldn't do anything about it because she was with Luke. Not that I would've anyway because Luke told me he really liked her and I didn't want to jeopardise our friendship.

"Nah, Zack looked after me last night," Invie said. "Not like that you egg. We watched a movie."

I walked out into the front lounge and smiled at Invie, which she returned, before grabbing my breakfast from the pantry. "Want some?" I asked Invie.

"No thanks," she replied to me. "No, not you, Luke, I was talking to Zack."

I chuckled as I poured my cereal into a bowl.

"Zack," Invie said. "Luke wants to talk to you."

I turned around to face her. "Why?" Invie just shrugged and handed me her phone. "Sup, Luke?"

"Go outside," Luke told me. "I don't want Invie to hear our conversation."

"I was just about to start my breakfast," I responded.
