(CARTER’S POV)
“Carter,” someone whispered.
“Wha?” I ask.
“Wake up, the guys are bringing their girlfriends over to hang while the guys and I go and hang out.” The voice explained.
“Meh.” I say, rolling over.
“Come on! You don’t want your favorite band to see you like this, now do you?” Ashley says, poking me.
“Meh.” I say again as I walk upstairs to shower and get ready. I wore a simple BVB top, ripped red skinnies, and combat boots. I did my hair and makeup as usual and walked down stairs.
“Carter, meet CC’s girlfriend, Lauren, Jinxx’s wife, Sammi, Andy’s girlfriend, Juliet, and Jake’s girlfriend, Ella,” Ash said, gesturing to each girl. He then hugged me and kissed my head.
“Uh… Hi... I’m... Uh… Carter…” I choke out.
“Yeah, your boyfriend wouldn’t shut up about you,” Sammi said, laughing.
“Oh, yeah?” I said and booped him on the nose. He then kissed me on the nose.
“Get a room!” Ashley said, rolling his eyes then winking at us.
“Sorry to interrupt, but we should get going,” Andy said.
“See you later,” Ash whispered to me and kissed my head.
“Okay,” I said. As the guys left.
“So, Carter, you got a dress for tonight?” Juliet asks me.
“No,” I say, blushing.
“Well, now you do,” Ella said, handing me a big black box.
“What?” I say as I open it. Inside is the dress from the shop. “Oh my god! Who?” I say, looking to each of their faces.
“All of the guys pitched in,” Meri said.
“Aw, they didn’t need to. Now I feel bad. You guys didn’t-“I was saying.
“Sh. Now stop. We wanted you to have a special dress for this date.” Lauren says, making me hug them all.
“Now, let’s watch a movie! We still have two hours until we should get ready!” Sammi said.
We put in one of my favorites, Transformers, and watched it while talking.
“So, Meri, Ashley couldn’t stop talking about you on the ride over here!” Juliet said, poking her arm.
“I think that the Purdy Pervert has finally fallen for a girl!” I say, poking her in the stomach.

(ASHLEY’S POV)
“ASHLEY LIKES MERI!!” CC yelled as we got in the car.
“What?! Really?! Is that why you wanted her number last night?!” I ask.
“OOOH! ASHY!” The whole car said. Ashley just sat there blushing. He started to giggle as we shouted “ASHY AND MERI! ASHI AND MERI!”
“Okay guys, I think we tormented Purdy enough,” Jake said after a while.
“Your right!” Ashley said. “ASHLEY AND CARTER! ASHLEY AND CARTER!” he started chanting. Now it was my turn to blush and look embarrassed.
We got to the BVB house and watched Batman (by Andy’s request) until it was time to get ready to go get the girls. All of us wore a tux and each guy had a different tie. Mine was an ice blue color, the same color as Carter’s perfect eyes.
We all climb into the car and went back to my parents’ house, who were on a cruise to the Caribbean.

(CARTER’S POV)
“Come!” Juliet ordered. All of us came and sat next to her. “Okay, there are three bathrooms. Six girls. Two girls per bathroom. Carter gets Ashley’s for obvious reasons. Carter, who do you want with you?” She asked, looking at me.
“Meri,” I said without hesitation.
“Ok, Sammi and Ella will be in yours and me and Lauren will go to the one down here,” Juliet said, grabbing her things and walking to the restroom right next to the living room.
“Come on!” Meri shouted, pulling me up and dragging me to the bathroom next to Ashley’s room.
I put on the dress carefully, trying not to hurt it.
“Can I come in?” I heard Meri ask.
“Yeah,” I say, twirling in the mirror.
“Oh. My. God! Cart! You look beautiful!” Meri said, hugging me. I looked at her. She was wearing a tight hot pink dress that ended in some black ruffles.
We stood, side by side, straitening our hair. I then started to tease mine as usual. Meri did her hair just strait down to her ass, the way she always has it. She did light makeup, like always. What startled me was that she put on bright, cherry red lipstick! That was VERY un-Meri of her. For my makeup, I just did a really thick, really dark smoky eye and black lipstick. I put in a silver nose ring instead of the black one I was originally going to wear. I also wore some black gloves, black combat boots, and my choker that Ashley had given me.
Meri and I walked down stairs. Juliet looked at me and giggled. Did I have something on my face?
“Combat boots? Really, Carter?” she asked and giggled again.
“I think they look pretty cool,” said Ella, the other three nodded, agreeing with her.
“Sorry,” Juliet said, I could see that she wasn’t sorry.
Juliet had on a bright red, really tight dress that showed off her every perfection. She also had huge heels and giant hoop earrings. Ella was wearing a more subtle purple dress that looked awesome on her! She had on black ballet flats to go with it. Lauren wore a dress, similar to mine, but it was a deep magenta color. Sammi had on a black and red dress that poofed slightly at the end. It suited her.
I was the only one that wore what would be considered on the color chart as “cold”.
Shit.
Just then, the boys pulled up. I saw each one was wearing a tux, but each tie matched his date’s dress. Andy’s was red, Ashley’s was hot pink, Jake’s was purple, CC’s was magenta, and Jinxx’s was black. Ash had on an icy blue tie that perfectly matched my dress’s top color.
“Holy shit,” he said as he saw me.
“What?” I say, nervous.
“Y-Y-You look b-beautiful,” he whispered as he kissed me. His hair was spiked and teased, and his eyes were rimmed in black, but not as dark and thick as they normally were.
“Come on, Paws! Save it for after dinner! I’m starving!” Jake yelled at us, laughing. We both blushed and walked to the car, holding hands.
