Ryder's POV:

"RYDER HURRY DOWN!" Drew called upstairs.

I crawled back in and walked downstairs to see about 30-40 people there. Probably some of the guys' friends.

"The album releases in 5 minutes." Keaton said all excited.

Everyone sat on their phones just staring in anticipation.

Wes patted for me to sit between me and some girl. I sat down and scooted closest to Wes, as I had no clue who this girl was but, she seemed nice and she was really pretty.

"This is Carly, my girlfriend." Wes said.

"Carly, this is Ryder my um, well I don't know what she is. A sister or neice maybe." Wes said. I didn't know what I was either.

Carly asked me all these questions and she was really nice. She said she liked my hair a ton. I actually love my hair, it's a part of me.

"10 seconds!" Someone shouted.

"9...

8...

7...

6...

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...!" Everyone else shouted out.

Everyone tapped in their iTunes account passwords as I did the same.

We all placed in ear-buds and pressed shuffle on the album. Spaghetti played as I nodded my head along with the beat. They're so damn talented.

Soon, everyone piled out and I headed up to my room. I was about to go to bed when Drew walked in, as the door was open still.

"Hey, my girlfriends coming over tomorrow and is staying for about a week." He said.

"Oh okay, I'm sure she's nice." I said smiling.

"Alright. Goodnight." He said hugging me as he walked away and I slid into a bed.

I woke up and looked at the clock that read 10:45 am.

I got up and headed to the bathroom.

I sat my phone on the iHome and pressed shuffle as Brain Stew by Green Day played.

I undressed and stepped into the shower.

"I'm having trouble trying to sleep

I'm counting sheep but running out

As time ticks by

And still I try

No rest for crosstops in my mind

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed

Dried up and bulging out my skull

My mouth is dry

My face is numb

Fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

My mind is set on overdrive

The clock is laughing in my face

A crooked spine

My sense's dulled

Passed the point of delirium
