Bandmate ||Ricky Garcia||

《t w e n t y - t w o 》

It's Saturday morning and mom has her day off for the first time in in two weeks. We were planing on going out and explore around, but we ended up just cleaning the house. As I take out our clothes out the dryer my phone starts to ring. Looking at the screen I see Ricky's face making me drop the basket. Luckily none of the clothes fell off and allowing me to pick up the call.

''Hello?'' I set it on speaker.

''Uh hey Audrey were on our way to your house,'' I fumble with getting the rest of the clothes and picking up the basket.

''Y-you are?'' I place the basket on the washer and start running to my mom.

''Yeah should be there in around five minutes or so?''

''Oh okay see soon bye-'' He hanged up on me and I almost tripped on the rug entering the kitchen. ''Mom he's coming!''

She turns to me from washing the dishes, ''Who?''

''Ricky and the others,'' I feel a rush of nerves and happiness run through me.

''Why didn't you tell me sooner I'm a mess I can't meet him like this!''

''Mom you look fine,'' She just had on an old university t-shirt and some baggy shorts.

''Your right your the one that needs to change,'' I look down at the long gym shorts Andy gave me and Nirvana shirt.

''Mom they seem me dressed like this before I'm okay.'' She rolled her eyes drying her hands with the dish towel.

''Uhg well I'm going to change the shorts at least, don't let him leave until I meet him,'' She starts to speed walk away. I start to relax again but the sound of the doorbell filled the house making me jump from the couch. I speed walk to the door opening it to see Ricky, bringing a smile to my face.

''Hey long time no see,'' He had my black tank top in his hands. ''Here hope you didn't miss it.'' As he handed it to me I touched his finger tips that gave me goosebumps.

''Thanks,'' There was silence a good five seconds before I heard the car door shut. ''What are they doing?'' I stopped looking at Ricky to see Jon trying to get something out of the trunk and you can see Emery's silhouette helping him.

He nodded his head in their direction signaling to go over. Once we get to the back of the car I see Emery picking up coal pieces that had fallen out as Jon closed the Kingsford bag. ''Uh why?'' I ask picking one piece up and hand it to Emery.

''It was their idea I told them to ask first.''

''Well Ricky if we would have asked, it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?'' Jon opens the bag to let Emery put in the stray pieces before throwing it over his shoulder.

''Well I'm surprised...'' I say as Emery jumped out of the back with Walmart bags with what appeared to be meat and a lot of vegetables. ''But we don't have a grill?''

''Oh that's okay we brought a mini one,'' I lower my brows and look inside the trunk to see it in the corner. ''Ricky you're not carrying anything make your self usefull.'' Emery looks at the small red rounded grill.

I could see Ricky was annoyed as he took a hold of the grill, ''Where do we put all this?'' Jon yells already at the front door.

Taking one last look at Ricky I jog back to Jon and lead him to the small backyard. Emery welcomes himself to the kitchen and takes everything out asking if he can use some plates. Ricky was closing the trunk before he came inside too. Him and Jon where starting the fire as I sneak myself upstairs to see mom leaning by the window looking down at them.
