Song is Chariot by Gavin DeGraw...

Nathan's POV:

I woke up to the smell of bacon. An odor I know very well. I trotted down to the kitchen, still only wearing the pants that I slept in. I expected to see Jay or heck, maybe even Max attempting to make breakfast for the girls. But when I arrived, I found Abi, wearing tiny black knit shorts and a sky blue tank top. Her long blonde hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. She sang softly as she worked.

Oh chariot your golden waves

are walking down upon this face

I joined in:

Oh chariot I'm singing out loud

To guide me

Give me your...

I finished for her:

Strength

"What are you doing up so early?" I asked.

"Well, we're the guests, so I decied to be polite and make breakfast..." she answered shyly.

"Here, let me help..." I said as I grabbed the pan of bacon and flipped it for her.

She decided to make us something that they had a lot over in the states- biscuits and gravy. One problem. Gravy is messy and Abi is... well... clumsy.

"Hey Nath, can you pass me the-" she satrted, but she never finished.

Abi's POV:

I. Freaking. Tripped. I freaking tripped and spilled gravy on NATHAN SYKES.

"Oh My Gosh. I'm SO sorry, here, let me help..." I grabbed a towel and started to wipe the gravy off of his bare chest.

"It's not your fault, Abi..." As soon as he was clean, he grabbed a second towel and helped me wipe up the floor.

"Woah, what happened in here?" asked a shirtless Max as he and Tom (also shirtless) walked into the kitchen. Wow. I could really get used to mornings here.

"I'm a bit of a clutz..." I explained. One by one, the other boys and the girls walked in and grabbed a plate of bacon and gravyless biscuits.

"So what's happening today?" asked Sydney. She's the type of person who has to plan out everything. She can't just go with the flow.

Max was the first to respond, "I guess we'll take you guys sightseeing and hopefully find some inspiration for a song."

"Okay," we (Ambition) chorused.

As we all went to the rooms to get ready, I snuck off a different way, heading towards Nathan's room. I knocked lightly on the door

"Come in," I heard him say. I walked in and closed the door behind me, flashing him a small smile.

"Look, I'm REALLY sorry about earlier-" I started.

"Don't be." he chuckled, then he patted the spot on the bed next to him. I obeyed and sat down. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I nodded, "Your close to Madi, right?" I nodded again, "Have you noticed something odd between her and Jay?"

"Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who noticed! They keep sending eachother odd looks and staring at eachother's backs, and then there was that time they disappeared during the mini concerts..."

"Yeah, and Jay doesn't talk as much. He's normally really outspoken," Nath added. We both looked at eachother, and a smile slowly began to play across my lips. I didn't even need to speak for him to say, "What's the plan?"

"Well..."
