You walk up the stairs to the tour bus as your jaw drops with how gorgeous the inside is. Looking at Audrie you mouth, "oh my gosh!" 

She let's out a huge smile and says, "I know, right?!" 

"Okay, ya'll want a quick tour of the bus?" 

"Do you even have to ask?" You asked with a slight grin plastered on your face. 

He lets out a soft chuckle and starts telling you stories and showing you around. "Obviously, this is the little kitchen and dining area. It's tight but all of us don't mind. Oh, here's the couch. It's actually really comfy and in a great place to sit and watch sports on the T.V." He pointed up to the T.V. sitting on a shelf above the couch. "Sometimes I get way too into sports games and I yell at the T.V." 

"Glad i'm not the only one. I tend to yell at the T.V. during games... a lot."  You replied with a chuckle passing your lips. 

"It's true. She's even stood up on the couch flinging her hands in the air with excitement because her favorite team won the game. It gets intense." Audrie decided that little fun fact needed to be told. 

Glaring at Audrie, "That could have been kept to ourselves but thank you for sharing that embarassing fact." 

Scotty is looking at both of you laughing as he grabs your shoulder, "It's all good. I think that's awesome. Sports are the best. Anyways let me lead you back to the back of the bus. Here's where I sleep. Sometimes I end up falling out of the bed. There's a little embarassing fact about me so now we are even." 

You let out a chuckle as you made eye contact with him which made you blush a little. He turned and started walking back further in the bus and started grabbing some huge black cases. "If you guys can handle it can you grab one of these. There's three so I'll take one and each of you grab one? They're kinda heavy though." 

"Please, I got this. I may look tiny but inside all this I'm strong." You begin to walk over to the case, grab the handle and try picking it up.You know you are making funny faces trying to carry it out. "I got this guys!" As you stumble out of the back room and start walking past the beds you trip on your own feet, and go face first onto the floor. "Crap! I don't got this."  You hear laughs coming from the back of the bus as you put your hands over your face because you're so embarassed. You hear footsteps walking towards you when a deep voice begins to talk. 

"Are you okay?"

"Besides my complete embarassment and weakness, yes I am fine." 

All of a sudden you hear talking coming from the front of the bus. You quickly shot up and looked towards the front.

"Oh, hey Joey and Mike. This is Bridget and that's Audrie. They asked if they could help carry some stuff in and Bridget here kinda face planted it into the floor trying to carry the drum case." Scotty tried saying without laughing but couldn't help to let out a chuckle. 

"It's okay, I'll carry the drums and Mike here can help carry the others. They can carry in cables though." Joey lends out a hand to help you up. 

"Thanks." You say politely as a light color of red covers your face.

"So what cables do we need to carry in?" Audrie loudly asks once you're up on your feet. 

"Here, let me show you. Follow me." Mike leads Audrie off the bus and opens some storage below the bus where tons of cables are found. 

You and Scotty are still standing inside the bus while Joey's getting things together in the back. He puts his arm on your arm. "Are you sure your okay? I didn't mean for you to get hurt." 

"Um, yeah I'm fine. I guess I just need to work out a little more. No worries, I'm not hurt. Cables?" 

He's staring at you and doesn't answer for a second, "Oh, right. Okay. Joey, the cables are outside right? 

Joey starts walking towards you guys, "Yeah. Mike is out there showing Audrie." He looks at Scotty and gives him a wink with a chuckle. You can't help but notice Scotty was glaring at him. What was all that about? You thought. 

Scotty leads you outside of the bus where Audrie is waiting with piles of cables in her hands. 

"Well, it's about time. I'm being over powered by cables. Take some." Audrie said while struggling with the cables wrapped around her arms and feet. 

You run over to her and grab a bunch, "I got your back." Then you lower your voice to a whisper, "I need to talk to you soon."

She gives you a confused look but mouths, "Okay." 

Scotty walks over and interrupts you, "Uh, are you guys ready? I got my guitar and I'm ready to go." 

"Uh, yeah. Let's go." He's walking in front of you as you think of how good he looks in those washed out jeans. Imagining what it would be like to be engrossed in a big hug with him. What it would be like to hold his hand as you guys walked down old country roads, and talked about your future together. What would it be like to go to a McCreery family gathering. All of a sudden you feel a nudge in your side. 

"Stop imagining your future with him and focus on the present, doofus!" Audrie whispered as you guys walked closely behind Scotty into the studio.
