I didn't know what to say so I turned to look around. Then I looked him straight in the eye and whispered "I think you're cute..." It was the least I could do, just to tease him around a bit. I could tell he was having fun with this because he was trying not to laugh. Suddenly he burst out laughing, so I pretended to laugh too. He looked down at me (cause i was shorter than him), looked at me from under his eyelashes and bit his lower lip smirking.
I almost died realizing that he liked me...I think.

We finally ended up back in my hotel room blasting Green Day. Brendon sang a long beautifully. Each word that came it was like a rain drop falling on the roof, absolutely stunning. My voice, loud and accented. His voice, calm yet excited somewhat. Speechless.
"Ok guys, I wanna show you something I threw together yesterday." I announced walking toward my electric piano. I glanced at Bren, who was a little worried again about Amanda. He raised his eyebrows to ask if I was ok. I shrugged and set my music sheets up.
"Mind the shitty playing..." I warned starting. As I thought, I played choppy because I wasn't listening to the piano. When I stopped, Bren asked
