Elijah and the rest of the lads were all preparing for the band's going-away party, which was really just an excuse so they could get plastered. They were all in Ryan's apartment-Robert and Josh were sitting on the couch playing Uno, Ryan was showering, and Eli was pacing.
"Okay, so I should just text her "Hey, me and the lads are having a party at Ryan's; you should come"? Or should I mention I want to see her?" Elijah asked while he paced from the living room to outside the door of Ryan's bathroom, which was open for him to hear Elijah's existential crisis.
"Mate, just ask her to the damn party." Josh said with a hint of annoyance that he was trying to focus on when to drop his plus 4 but kept being distracted by Elijah's incessant worrying.
"Should I tell her to bring Kate? What am I saying? Of course I should, right?"
"Who's Kate?" Robert asked, and Elijah waved him off, to which the latter scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"Ryan, what do I do?" He asked desperately while yanking the shower curtain that was currently covering Ryan's naked body.
"Dude! My junk is out!" Ryan yelled as he yanked the shower curtain back, which was useless as Elijah had yanked it back again.
"Dude! I don't care! Help me."
"I don't know why you're overthinking this; I doubt she'll say no." Ryan answered completely defeated as he continued to apply shampoo to his hair (not the five in one monstrosity the other lads used, he'd like to include).
"Okay, what if she does say no?"
"Okay, then she said no."
Elijah groaned and stomped out of the shower to go sit in the living room with the other useless duo of friends he had.
"Uno!" Robert yelled while throwing his cards at Josh's face, which he scowled at.
"I fucking hate you."
"Aww, Joshy, you wound me!" Robert held his hands to his heart in mock offense.
Elijah wasn't sure why he was so nervous to text Marlene-hhonestly, he was more nervous about her saying it and him seeing her after their very emotional talk on that side walk one week ago. They had texted after their manager had told Marlene she got the job, and he told her they should celebrate.
Wiping the sweat off his hand on his jeans and holding his phone with the other, he sighed and started typing.
