"Halo are you done yet?" Jack asked. "Yeah!" I shouted back as I grabbed my- well, Brendon's beanie. I quickly slipped it on then ran into the bunk area where Jack was waiting for me.

"Where are the others again?" "Can't tell you" he said and I rolled my eyes. "Ok well let's go" I said and walked forward. "Where's the door?" I asked and Jack chuckled.

He walked in front of me and I followed him. As we were walking I looked out the window and could see the street. That's weird.

Jack opened a door and we were met with stairs. "Jack why are there-" then it clicked, we have a double decker bus. "Never mind, but why did we get a double decker bus?" I asked. "Oh Halo, you ask to many questions. Just enjoy life" he said then grabbed my hand and pulled me downstairs.

When we finally stopped walking we were at a restaurant. "Halo go inside" Jack said. "Are you not coming?" I asked, "I'm right behind you" he said then pushed me forward a little. I felt a little nervous for what was waiting inside.

I tried my best to push the feeling aside and stepped in. "Halo no ones gonna kill you, just go" Jack said laughing a little. "Well your making it seem like it" I said and walked in.

"Look to your left" Jack said. I turned to my left. "Axel!!" I yelled and ran to hug him. He picked me up and spun me around (the perks of being short). "Hey Halo, I missed you" he said as we kept hugging.

"Awwwwwwwww!!!! That was so cute!!!!" Jack exclaimed. I pulled away from Axel and saw the other guys standing behind him. They all had there phones out and were recording us.

"Guys wanna get food now?" Rian asked. I nodded and walked side by side with Axel.

We chose a corner booth and sat down. A waiter came and gave us each a menu before pulling out his notepad. "What would you like to drink?" He asked and we ordered. I got coke and so did Axel. The adults got beer- speaking of beer where's Brendon.

"Hey guys, where's Uncle Brendon?" I asked. "Oh he's uh at the venue, doing sound check" Zack said as all the others awkwardly drank their beer to avoid answering my question. What are they hiding?

"So Halo did you end up listening to You Me At Six?" Dad asked changing subject. I nodded, "yeah they're pretty good" I said and he nodded.

The waiter came and took our orders. I got a burger and some fries. "So Halo how've been?" Axel asked. I shrugged, "good what about you?" I asked and he nodded. "Good. Um after this wanna go the park or something? That's if your dad lets you" Axel said adding the last part quickly. "It's fine, I trust you to take care of Halo" dad said smiling. "Thanks dad" I said and he nodded then went back to talking with Rian. Jack was talking with Zack, and by the look on Zack's face it was something inappropriate. Typical Jack.

Axel and I were walking to the park and joking around. "I would not!!" I laughed and pushed Axel. He laughed and walked next to me again. "How's Tyler and Jace?" I asked as our laughter died down. "They're good, they hang out a lot more... Anyways I heard you went to school. How was that?" He asked and I smiled. "It was okay" I said and Axel raised an eyebrow.

"It was!! I followed a guy named Lucas to all his classes, got hit on by his friend Adrian and got both they're phone numbers" I said as Axel laughed. "Wow my little Halo is growing up!!" He said then ruffled my hair. I glared at him and fixed my hair then my beanie.

"We're here" he said then opened a gate, it was empty. "I'll race you to the swings!!" I yelled as I took off running. "Not fair!!" Axel yelled as he tried to catch up to me.

I got on a swing and started to swing. "Axel push me!" I said and he shook his head but was smiling nonetheless. He pushed me a couple of times then got on the swing next to mine.
