Ricky's POV

''Where the hell are you?! I been waiting 30 minutes.'' Shawn's voice exploded through my phone's speaker, as I park my car at the Santa Monica Pear on the farthest point I could fined.

''I'm here relax,'' I took out the keys and locked the car. I made sure my cap with the Long Horns logo was well put and my sun glasses did in fact cover half my face. ''Where are you?'' I ask starting to make my way out of the lot.

''Under the pier where we always meet up.'' I could sense his eyes rolling at me.

''I'll be there in a bit.'' I hanged up and tried to hide my face with every passing person. Shawn just called me this morning to hang out, so here I am exposing myself to the public with a risk of being modded.

I met Shawn on DIgiTour 2013. He's a Youtuber that had a channel with his other 3 brothers, but Shawn decide to stop and go his own way, but all brothers still make vids on their main channel. I use to watch him and if it wasn't for Digi I would have never met him. He's a very close friend of mine now.

The beach was crowed as always and the lines for rides and stands are as long as I remember. After cautiously making my way under the pier I see him leaning against the wooden pole eating a hot dog with a Pepsi on the other hand. Just like me he was using some shades, but no hat revealing his chocolate color waves of hair.

''Yeah.'' I whisper.

''Why are you whispering?'' he takes a sip of his soda before giving me his complete attention.

''Because well- how are you?'' I change the subject not knowing what to say.

''I'm fine. How about you Mr. Scandal?'' he raised his brow giving me a smirk. I stand directly across from him.

''Oh please not you too. Look it's my life.'' I am really getting tired of everyone pointing out whats happening.

''Little piece of advice, get your shit together.''

''Can we not talk over this. Why do you care? Why does anyone care what I do?''

''Look it's like you said. I could care less of who or how many you date, but there are limits and with this one you crossed it. The media had an eye on you as soon as you started out with Peyton and you knew they were just waiting.'' he took another drink and offered me some.

I took a sip then said, ''So, what am I suppose to do? Not have a girlfriend because of the press.''

''If I were you I would just try to not get with any girl for a few months.'' he shrugged and licked his ketchup covered fingers.

''How are your bros?'' I ask not wanting to think of his advice.

''Jace and Keith are planned to go on a world tour this summer.''

''Without you?'' I say surprised.

''Yeah, I'm proud of my them.'' he smiles. ''How Jon doing?''

''He's not allowed to open his mouth for two weeks.'' I say and lean against the pole next to him.

''Tough for him, he loves to talk.''

''Yes, he does.'' He then continues to tell me all the places his brothers are going and that I might see them while I'm on tour with the guys.

Audrey's POV

I have been walking around the pier for a couple of minutes just gaining stares of random people. My stomach pleads for food, but I forgot to bring money. Every time I pass a food stand it just makes the burning in the pit of my belly worse.
