Bandmate ||Ricky Garcia||

The sole of his foot taps the tiled floor. His hands are clenched together as his eyes wander to me every few minutes. My cheeks burn with the feeling of his forest blue stare chilling on my spine.

He hasn't said anything to me in relating to earlier. It almost feels like that moment never happened. Jocelyn wont leave Jon's side. Every now and then she scoots closer to him, making Jon a tad bit uneasy. 

''Where exactly were you guys for half the time?'' Keta says raising her hand from her thigh to stretch. Screaming the attention from everyone in the car. 

''A storage room. I accidentally locked us in.'' I say rubbing my hands together, looking at Ricky who turns to the starry night.

''And what happened in there?'' Emery asks his eyebrows raising glancing at Ricky, who in no hesitation turns to me. 

''Nothing.'' Sadly.

Jon repeats, ''Nothing?'' As he tries to pull away while Jocelyn tries to reach him. 

"Man you guys are hella noisy today.'' Ricky snaps the sole of his foot taping a catchy rhythm. "Audrey and I did nothing. And if we did, it really is none of you guy's damn business.'' 

''Man touchy much.'' Emery pouts leaning back on the seat. Everybody remained quiet for the following   5 minute ride until getting on the Hotel. The car came into a drastic stop causing Jos to wake up but still remaining next Jon's shoulder.

"Shouldn't we have dropped off Jocelyn first?'' Jon says pulling his hand away from hers. 

''Oh don't worry Jon. I asked my mom and she said I could stay with Audrey for the rest of night.'' Jos cheers hugging Jon ever so tight he looked up at me praying for my help. 

''Jos come I'll show you the room.'' I say following Keta out the car. Jos gave Jon one last hug before following me and Keta inside. 

"Audrey. Audrey. Audrey.'' Jocelyn tugged at my sleeve.

''What!'' I turn to her stopping in front of the Hotel's elevator.  

''How was I? Was I cool? Do you think Jon liked me?'' Jos eyes glittered with hope and all Keta and I could do was look at each other and nod. 

~.~

"Jos you can sleep with me.'' I say tossing an extra pillow at her.  "Jos. Jos! Jocelyn!'' I yelled at her for she was pressing her ear against the wall in hope to hear Jon's voice.

''What?'' Her blond hair was still wet from the shower and my shirt was tight on her. 

''Go to sleep you can creep on Jon in the morning.'' I pull the covers and crawl inside. The bathroom door opened and Keta walked out with her toothbrush. 

''Jocelyn where did you get those!'' Keta screamed running to my friend before kneeling down. 

''What?'' Jos asked looking down. I leaned over and tried to sneak a peek too. ''Oh my socks? I got them for New Years! Doesn't Jon look gorgeous.'' I rolled my eyes and went back to laying down. 

''Oh I've always wanted them. I saw them last year, but didn't buy them. ''Keta started to pet Jocelyn's socks like it they were talking about the cutest puppy. 

''The pairs I got came with all the boys and one with Joby's face on them. Also touch the inside,'' Jos takes a sit on Keta's bed so she can touch her feet. Oh jeez. I turn to my side and start to cuddle with the pillow when the door started to knock like crazy. 

''What the?" Keta questioned letting go of Jocelyn's feet and sprinted to the door. "What are you-'' 

''You guys have to see this!'' Emery bursted inside as Ricky and Jon followed.
