Chapter 4

-Spencer's POV-

Austin stepped in front of me and opened the door slowly. I could hear voices coming from inside as he stepped on and I followed. I shut the door softly behind me and walked up the short stair case trailing closely behind Austin. Once up the steps we arrived in a small kitchen, as we continued the voices got closer. We padded through the kitchen to a living area where all the guys were crashing. Everyone stopped talking when we entered the room. I hid behind Austin as the guys stared at us.

"Guys, this is Spencer." Austin stated, stepping aside to reveal me. I smiled and waved sheepishly. One of the guys hopped up immediately and skipped towards me. He had flaming ginger hair and wore a friendly smile.

"Hi!" he beamed "Im Alan and its wonderful to meet you." Before I could even reply he pulled my into a tight hug and shook me a little. I giggled as he let me go.

"It's great to meet you too." I said as the other three stood up. The next to come up to me was a thin, tan surfer looking guy. He had long black, wavy hair and an inviting smile.

"Im Phil." He said and lightly hugged me. I smiled at him as another guy came up. He was a little taller then Phil but had the same black hair, except his was pulled into a pony tail.

"Tino." was all he said, he hugged my quickly but tightly, Man these guys loved hugs. The final person came up. He was shorter and slightly pudgy but still adorable, he had shorter light brown hair and a goofy grin.

"Hi, I'm Aaron." He said smiling, he seemed really nice. I opened my arms, knowing what was coming next. He hugged me just like all the other guys did and I couldn't help but smile, my night was going much better.

"Hey Spence, follow me real quick" Austin said. I trailed behind him and we made our way into a small isle. I looked side to side into the bunks. I wasn't paying attention and walked straight into Austin's back.

"Sorry Austin" I said quickly, looking down at my feet, embarrassed. He chuckled a little.

"Don't panic so much, its fine" He said grinning. I smiled softly and looked into the empty bunk the he stood by.

"You can stay in this buck, its our extra one, we never really use it." He turned and motioned to the one behind him, "Mines right across from yours so if you need anything just holla." He chuckled a little and smiled. "You can come hang with the me and the guys or rest if you want, its up to you." I

"Its been a long day so I think ill crash for the night, tell the guys its not that I don't wanna hang with them I'm just really tired." I said feeling slightly bad, I didn't want to make a bad impression on them, they're all so sweet.

"Don't worry hum, they'll understand completely." He smiled and kissed my forehead, "Sleep well, I hop e you feel better." he smiled at me and hugged me once more before disappearing down the hall. I crawled into the bunk and pulled the covers up to my chin. Today started out so shitty, almost being killed by my dad ya know, but then I met my savior and honestly there's just something about Austin and the guys that makes my feel better. They make me feel safe, and I haven't felt like that in a long time. I never wanted to leave them but I'm just a kid to them. They may be helping me and all but I don't matter that much to them.

I suddenly felt shitty again but closed my eyes, might as well enjoy it while it lasts I though as I fell into a dreamless slumber.
