"Hey, can we come to the live event tonight?" Dad asks as I come down the stairs. Holding my gear bag in one hand.

"Uh, yeah. I've just gotta tell Ben that he does not need to pick me up. We all can ride together." I suggest.

"We can just follow you. I'm sure Ben is almost here." Mum replies from in the kitchen,

"That you-" The doorbell rings cutting me off. I open the door and Pete stands there.

"Learn to answer your phone." He tells me.

"Me? You guys never texted, or called." I tell him as I look at my phone. Which had no notifications showing up.

"We've been here for 5 minutes. We're running late." Pete tells me. Even though he didn't want to lose his cool over something so minor I felt him snapping any minute and I don't need my parents seeing this.

"Okay. I'll be there in a minute." I say to him. He raises his eyebrows. Not buying it.

"Go on. Send me the directions. We will leave in a few minutes." Dad says.

"Okay." I reply grabbing my bag and heading off.

"Pete, so help me if you don't calm down." I remark as I throw my bag in the trunk before sitting in the back where Tyler sits. Tyler holds his hand out for me to hold. I take it as I send my parents the location we would be at today.

"So, you excited today? Local show, mystery opponents." Ben asks.

"Hell yeah. It's only 30 minutes away. I can face literally anyone. Right now I'm hoping for Pete." I say. Mumbling the last part.

"Me too sweetheart." Pete replys back. I can feel his eyes rolling. Not out of his head sadly.

We got to the building where the event is taking place. A few fans were outside. Asking for autographs. Us no different. I grabbed my bag, and waited for my parents. They pulled up a few moments after we did. Mum, Dad and Stephanie all got out.

"Welcome. So, we're late. Which means I can't talk. I've got to get ready. See who I'm facing." I say as Tyler, Ben and Pete all join back up with me. Tyler holds my hand as we walk in.

"So, you guys. Go this way." I point over to where a security gaurd was standing. Dad and Mum go. Stephanie lingers around. Pete, and Ben head on. Tyler stays with me and Stephanie.

"Don't make me stay with them. Let me stay backstage with you guys." She pleads as Dad and Mum look back at me.

"Babe, go. I'll handle this." I whisper looking over at Tyler. Tyler shrugs. Not moving.

"I'll see you later." I assure. Kissing him on the cheek and handing him my bag.

"You're the best." He replies sarcastically before heading off. I smile.
