--Faith--

When we got into my room, I plopped onto the couch. All the other guys either sat on the couch next to me, a chair, or the floor. After a few minutes of awkward silence, it was Dana who spoke up.

"So, who is Brielle?" He asked

"Some girl from my school who can't accept my happiness."

"Why not? Your awesome!" Will said cheerily, and all the guys agreed.

"Well, she didn't always hate me. We used to be best friends. We hung out everyday and talked all the time. We were pretty much the definition of attached at the hip. Then, Dylan happened." I said, looking off into the distance that was the wall.

"Who's Dylan?" Dalton asked.

"Well, when we were in 8th grade, he moved here to California from New York. So naturally everyone had a certain liking for him. Including Brielle. But not me. Anyways, she was always gushing about him at lunch, or the references he would make to New York in geography class. Anyway, one day, I was sitting outside the school, waiting for Brielle, when Dylan showed up out of nowhere. He sat next to me, and we just sat for a few minutes. Then, out of nowhere, he just kinda kissed me. I freaked out and pushed him off me, but at that exact moment, Brielle came out and saw us. She freaked out, then swore revenge on my entire being. So....Yeah..." I said, looking down at the floor.

"Dude, that Dylan guy sounds like a jerk." Cole said.

"Yeah. And after Brielle started hating me, Dylan started dating her, then he just picked up and moved back to New York. Without saying anything. I remember Brielle telling people that I told him to move back to New York and break up with Brielle. All of a sudden, because of one lie, I had lost all my friends. Now it's just me, my mom and my uncle." I said, feeling the tears welling up against my weak eyes.

Cole noticed my eyes tearing, and he started rubbing my back. "Don't cry. She can't bother you anymore."

"Yeah she can."

"No she can't. You know why? Because all of us are gonna support you. Plus, you're going on tour with us, nowhere near Brielle." He said, still rubbing my back.

I rubbed my eyes and smiled weakly. "Thanks guys."

They all nodded back smiling, signaling a silent your welcome.

"Welp, I'm gonna go get a drink." Dalton said, getting up.

Gabe, Will and Dana nodded in agreement, and then it was just me and Cole.

"So, uh....Thanks for sticking up for me in front of Brielle. I don't know what I would've done if you weren't there." I said, leaning over and side-hugging Cole.

"No problem. She deserved it. She shouldn't be so mean to you because of a miscommunication." He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

We just kinda stayed in that position for a few minutes. From where my head was placed, I could feel Cole's heartbeat against my head. As I leaned in a little closer, I could feel his heartbeat quicken slightly, then relax to its regular pace again. I smiled, and eventually, I drifted off to sleep.

--Cole--

I felt her lean in, and I felt her head on my chest. My heartbeat sped up at the sudden motion, and my nervousness, but I eventually got it back together and relaxed. I felt her smiling, and so I smiled. After a few minutes, I thought she fell asleep.

"Faith?" I whispered, wondering if she fell asleep.

I got no answer.

"Goodnight Faith." I whIspered, as I laid my head against the back of the couch, and eventually drifted out of consciousness.

--Next Morning--

--Faith--

I woke up, and groggily checked my phone. As soon as I picked it up, it started ringing and vibrating really loudly. I shot awake, and put my thumb over the speaker to quell the sound. I turned off the alarm and read what it said.

--WAKE UP!!!! Time to pack 4 the tour!!!!!--

I shot off the couch, when suddenly I heard groaning. I turned to see Cole passed out on the couch. I smiled, and quickly took out my phone and took a picture. I giggled quietly, and pulled my suitcase out of my closet. I opened all my drawers. I started packing my undergarments first, since none of the guys were around. After I had this all packed, I grabbed my shorts, then shirts, then pjs, comfy clothes and workout stuff.

Then I headed to my bathroom to get my toiletries. I pulled out a smaller bag and started putting in my hair brush, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream and razor into the bag, I also took a package of hair ties, and other feminine products.

I put the small bag next to my suitcase, then pulled out a medium sized bag. I opened it up and started getting my beanies and shoes. I packed both of my pairs of vans, a pair of flats, a pair of heels, running shoes, and flip flops. I grabbed my black, grey, maroon, forest green and turquoise beanies. I also grabbed my favorite throw blanket that I got in the m&m store in NYC. It was kinda a comfort thing. I also grabbed my stuffed koala and stuffed pikachu. I placed the comfort items in with my shoes and beanies, then closed all the bags and set them near by the door.

By this time, I headed back over to see Cole still asleep. I checked the time.

9:36

I saw him sleeping, and I started giggling. I knelt down beside the couch so me and Cole were face-to-face level, and I pulled my sleeve over my hand, and I smacked him lightly with my sleeve. He shot up instantly, and I started laughing.

He realized it was me, and gave me a death glare.

"Faith, you are so dead!" He whisper-yelled at me, before proceeding in chasing me around my room, until he finally had me pinned on my bed, his hands on either side of me, so I was trapped. I looked up to him, and gave him the puppy look. He smirked.

"I don't think so Faith."

I sighed, and then the worst part struck.

He placed his hands on my stomach, and you can probably guess what happened after that.

Yeah, he started ticking me.

"Cole!.....Stop it!.....I'm serious!" I said in between fits of laughter.

He smirked in victory, and stopped tickling me.

As soon as I was about to swear revenge, a voice called from the top of the stairs.

"You guys ready to go?" Eben's voice called from the top so the stairs.

"Yeah. Just give us a minute." Cole called out.

"What do we need a minute for?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

He didn't verbally respond. Instead, he walked up to me, placed his hand under my chin, tilted my head up to his, and gently, but passionately, brushed his lips against mine. He pulled away for a slight second, then deepened the kiss. After a few minutes, he pulled away. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. He walked over to my bags, and started carrying them upstairs. I pulled on my uggaustralia, and walked upstairs.
