Love is a Verb (Riley/Before You Exit)

Thomas.. Thomas..

Thomas

I woke up feeling exhausted. Hah. Whatever. Once I woke up it will take me hours before I can fall into a deep asleep again. I groaned and went straight for shower. Fall is coming to an end and Winter will take over. Sigh. I changed into a sweatshirt and pants.. I have nothing to do today.. So. Oh wait I have to go to Kaitlin. This will do. I don't need to impress her. I mean she's gorgeous but you know. 4 years ? If it was 3 years that would have been fine but 4? That's too much. She's the same age as Toby. She's more like Riley's type though. Gah. What am I even thinking? I went downstairs and my phone buzzed. It was from Connor.

From: Connor

'Dude Skype now !'

Weird. That's all he said. Wonder what's up ? I have no idea too. Might as well get to Skype. I opened my laptop and of course I waited. I wasn't in a hurry. I grabbed some cereal and milk. I was pouring milk in my cereal when I heard the buzzing. I quickly poured and sat on one of the chairs and faced my laptop there. I clicked it and saw just probs everyone. Well except Braiden.

"Hey." I said as I munched .

"Heeeeeyyy Tommy!" Toby screamed. I just shook my head. He's too loud.

"So what's up?" I said as I ignored Toby's greeting.

"We're going on another tour! With who? Wait for it-" He made a dramatic pause before he continued. "One Direction." I almost spit my cereal.

"Whaat? How?" I said.

"I have no idea."

"Wow. When?" I said. I'm not a big fan of them but it sure was a big opportunity.

"It will start a week after you come back."

"Sweet! I can be in it! Yes!" I fist pumped into the air.

"Precisely but no photographer would be coming with us anymore. That's why we want to talk to you. Do you know anyone that can take pictures better than us? I mean, we can take pictures but you get what I'm trying to imply. " Riley said.

"We wanted to pick our crew. We already picked everyone except for a person that can come with us anywhere to take pictures. They said that we needed it and as we can't find anyone. So we're stuck. We still have 8 weeks so no pressure but we do need to find one fast." Connor said.

"So basically you're pressuring me to find one?" I said.

"Yeah. But hey no pressure." Connor added. I face palmed and he gave me a goofy smile.

"Alright. Fine. I'll look for one but no promises."

"Thanks man. He doesn't need to be a high professional. Anyone that can take better pictures with a professional camera . That would be fine." He said.

"Yeah. Someone better than us." Toby mutters and we all laughed.

"Since we got that off subject. What time is it there?" Riley asks.

"Oh it's 9:30 in the morning." I coolly said to them.

"Cool. It's 12:30 here. Midnight." I nodded.

"Shouldn't you guys be sleeping now?" I said.

"Eh. We're rebels and when have we ever slept early?." They laughed at Riley.

"Right. Whatever." I waved Riley off an he chuckled.

"How is it there ?"

"Cool. Fall season is almost over. Winter's coming. Oh and I saved a girl." I saw their eyes widen.
