Bill Harding's POV:

Thunder sounded from the arriving storm again, I looked up at the storm and did my best to read it. At the moment, it didn't seem to be anything tornadic but I still kept my eye on it.

I could see Ally hop out of the back of Jonas's Van and start walking towards the back of the concession stand. Jonas soon followed behind jumping out of the van and making his way behind the building with Ally.

To my right Jo was over with Dusty at the Barn burner checking the radars and making a plan for tomorrow's storms.

I looked around and caught sight of Alexander and Elly. I was slightly surprised that she decided to go on a chase with him considering right now would be a great time to have her be the one reporting the weather. The two of them looked content with each other as they talked about God knows what.

From the corner of my eye I could see a flash of lightning and the wind kicked up slightly. I sighed as I made my way to the concession stand to get something to drink.

"Can I get a coffee please?" I ask the girl behind the counter and she just smiles and nods.

"Sure thing." She said kindly before turning around and making her way to the coffee maker.

"Hiya Bill." Said a familiar voice to my left and I turned my head.

"Hey Eddie, how are ya?" I ask kindly, though Jonas and I had bad blood I could never seem to get myself to hate Eddie.

"I'm alright, today has just been a long day." Eddie responds while looking at the menu for something to order.

"I can agree with you on that." I say with a slight sigh. "How has Jonas been treating you?" I ask and Eddie looks at me.

"Dr.Miller has been treating me just fine." Eddie responds and I just give him a look as if to say 'really?'.

"That's a surprise." I say as the girl hands me my coffee and I give her a thankful smile.

"Dr.Miller isn't a bad guy Bill, he's just a pain in the ass." Eddie says, then orders himself one of the salads they have.

"Ha, that's an understatement." I respond and Eddie rolls his eyes slightly with a smile. "I'm surprised your sister is hanging out with Jonas, last I checked I thought she wanted nothing to do with him." I say and Eddie nods slightly.

"Oh if only you were here earlier." Eddie says while patting my shoulder and grabbing his salad. I just looked at him and tilted my head.

"What happened earlier?"I ask a bit concerned. "Do I need to kick his ass?" I continue and Eddie just laughs slightly as we start walking.

"No, but I nearly did." Eddie laughs. "Ally kissed him, three times actually." Eddie explained and I just stopped to look at him in disbelief.

"There is no way, you're kidding me?" I say and Eddie just nods.

"I wish I was." Eddie says, thunder went off again behind us and a flash of lightning followed after it.

Jonas's POV:

I followed behind Ally as she made her way behind the concession stand building and leaned against the wall. She seemed to be lost in thought as she looked up at the approaching storm cloud. She looked at it with such wonder, as if she was trying to read its intentions.

She was like Bill in that way, I realized. She was able to tell what a storm was thinking and would rather use her instincts over a radar. Unlike me who didn't trust my instincts enough to not use a radar.
