I listened as the rain pattered on the roof of the bus. I rolled over and felt for Hunter. She sadly wasn't there. I flipped to my side and turned on the light on my phone. Slipping from the bed, I padded across the floor to the door and walked into the living room area. Hunter laid beside Jami, laughing and giggling. Cheyenne and Jordan smiled as they looked at dresses on her laptop.

"Where's the boys?" I asked, sleepily grabbing a Pepsi from the fridge.

"Outside in the rain. Half naked." They laughed again.

"Great. Liz to the rescue. To the invisible boat mobile." I giggled as I fist punched the air and ran out into the heavy rain. I ran around the side of the bus to see half the guys, all in boxers running around in the dirt and on the pavement. Some guys were playing football, while others were wrestling, throwing mud, making water angels. What kids. I pulled the legs of my pjs up and started toward Alex who was throwing mud at Kellin.

"Aye yo Al. Get over here." I yelled before I slipped and landed hard on the pavement. My head cracked against the hard surface and I whimpered. Alex grabbed me up and propped me against him.

"You okay?" He questioned, worry danced in his eyes.

"Oh you're dead lover boy." I sat up and forced myself to my feet.

"You can't run in the rain dressed." He laughed.

"Clothes are for wimps anyways." I stripped to my underwear and bra, taking my clothes back to the bus. I ran down the stairs into the rain, gasping a little as it drenched me in liquid ice. My toes went numb. I looked up just as a ball of mud made contact with my stomach. I looked down, my mouth agape in shock and ran my fingers through the dark sludge. I looked up with wild eyes as Jack ducked behind Alex. I ran my index finger through the mud as it ran lower and painted two thick lines of the sandy substance under each eye.

"FOR NARNIA." I screamed, picking up a glob of dirt and pitching it at Jack as he leaped across the parking lot. It smashed against his cheek.

"It is on rainbow bright." He yelled.

"Bring it grandpa." I pretended to walk with a cane, prodding at the air and grunting. Kellin looked at me like I was mentally ill. I was splashed with water as Jordan, Jami and Chey joined us.

"It just got real." Vic laughed.

We began splashing, wrestling and throwing dirt and parts of earth. I was hit multiple times all over my body. I was grateful that I had taken my hip piercing out months before. At least it wouldn't get infected.

"Okay. I call time out. I need a cigarette." Sadly I hadn't stopped smoking. I was headed to the bus when I was picked up and spun playfully around before I was taken over behind the buses. I was placed softly on my feet again. Alex grinned as I placed my palm to my forehead in an attempt to steady my dizzy, spinning head.

"Oh wow. I thought you gave me whiplash for a minute." I joked, finally back to normal. He brushed back the hair in my face that clung on my flushed cheeks. I smiled at my feet.

"You have the cutest dimples. You know that? Right here on your back." He touched my lower back on both sides. "And here." He pointed to the outer side of my thighs. "Oh and here." He placed his thumbs over the indents on my cheeks, causing them to deepen as my smile grew. Stupid smile the size of Texas. Sorry Texas. He pulled me closer and kissed me as I smiled wider. He nipped at my bottom lip. I pulled back.

"You do the same thing I do."

"Whats that?"

"Bite the bottom lip." I smiled. It thundered and I jumped.
