They all somehow piled into Avery's dingy old car she got for practically nothing. She drove, Brooklyn sat beside her, Stella by the window. The four guys packed in the back like sardines. This was definitely illegal. 

Luke immediately grabbed the AUX cord, well, the AUX cord that was rewired through the cassette player. He plugged his phone in and put it on shuffle. The first song that came up just had to be Ride by SoMo. The entire car erupted in laughter as he was quick to unlock his phone and change it. This time it landed on Stacy's Mom.

"Really, Luke?" Brooklyn said, looking back at him, "Give me that," She reached in the back and disconnected the AUX from his phone. She plugged it into her phone, "We're going to listen to real music." She gave her phone a shake.

"Hey girl, I'm waitin' on you, I'm waitin' on you. Come on and let me sneak you out," Liam started. Once again, the car was drenched in laughter. Stella snorted while Avery pulled to the side of the road. She was laughing too hard to drive.

"Let's listen to real music," Michael mocked her. She turned around and smacked his arm. 

"Live While We're Young? Really? You paid money for that?" Stella said once she caught her breath.

"Hey, hey!" Calum's voice rose, silencing us, "I think it's damn cute." Brooke was quiet.

"Of course you do, dude. If a girl sucked my dick as often as she does yours, I'd think anything she did was cute," Michael said.

Calum's replies ceased. Avery started driving once more as Stella grabbed the cord and started playing All The Small Things by Blink-182. The guys immediately got hyped, singing along loudly. Avery rolled all the windows down, letting the wind intrude the ancient car and its young passengers. 

"SAY IT AIN'T SO I WILL NOT GO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF CARRY ME HOME," the boys chanted in unison. Eventually all the girls joined in. They drove for a lengthy amount of time, finally stopping at a pier. 

They ran around at the beach for a while before Luke complained of hunger. "Luke we just ate two hours ago," Stella reminded him.

"I'm a growing boy," he responded.

"There's an ice cream shop down the way," Michael said.

"I didn't bring my wallet," Luke said.

"I didn't either," replied Ashton.

"I got it," Avery said, fast-walking back to her car.

"It's like she's your mum, bro," Michael said, chuckling and nudging Luke in the stomach with his elbow.

"Shut the fuck up, no it isn't," Luke snapped, walking to Avery's car.

"They need to fuck," Calum said to the remainder of the group once the two of them were out of earshot.

Ashton nodded. "No," Brooklyn laughed, "Avery loves Luke, but not like that."

"As far as you know," Calum teased on. "Trust me," Brooklyn continued, "They're too close for that."

Luke and Avery returned, Luke eating a vanilla ice cream.

Stella snorted again. "What?" Luke asked. 

"Nothing," Stella refrained. "No, might as well tell me now. You were looking straight at me," he said.

"It's just," she laughed some more, "It figures you got vanilla." She continued to laugh.

"I don't get it," Luke said as he continued licking his rapidly melting treat.

"She's calling you vanilla," Avery said.

Michael tried to hold back a giggle. Meanwhile, Stella was on the ground laughing. Literally. Luke rolled his eyes as Ashton helped Stella off the ground. They all returned to the car, this time Brooke joined Calum, Michael, and Ashton in the back. Luke sat up front with Avery and Stella. 

Ashton grabbed the AUX. The first song he played was Wicked Games by The Weeknd. Stella exclaimed, "Fuck yes!" before singing louder than the rest of them combined. She climbed over Michael to sit at the window seat. Her hand reached out the window as she flipped off all the cars passing by, "Stella! You're going to get me a ticket!" Avery screamed over the heavy bass.

"Fuck the police!" Michael screamed. "Yeah, what he said," Stella yelled before the chorus approached. 

Avery pulled over to get petrol while the rest of the gang listened to songs that scared the fuck out of the surrounding citizens. The idea was pitched by Calum, who grabbed the cord and turned on Diamonds Aren't Forever by Bring Me the Horizon. They all head banged with the windows down, turning it up as loud as it could go.

They were out of breath by the time Avery returned. As soon as they pulled out of the lot and onto the road, they turned the music down and laughed hysterically. Once he caught his breathe, Michael said, "I watching an old lady get out of her car, see us head bang, and get right back into her car," he cackled before continuing, "she didn't even get petrol or go inside." The laughter continued.

"Where to now?" Avery asked.

"I have an idea," Luke said, smiling.
