Marching Band: The Journey [EDITING]

19 - Drama?

Tony and I emerged from our room after a few rounds around six. He still wouldn't let me take a shower in peace, so that added another few rounds. We planned to go out as a group for dinner at some nice restaurant. Pedro suggested it the other day, so I took his word for it. We all met in the main living room. Em gave me a knowing look and Phillip looked sick when Tony kissed my forehead. Guess we weren't quiet. Oops.

All the boys had on cargo shorts and either polo or dress shirts. Reese has a dark blue polo and Ethan had a dark green polo. Carson has on a light pink dress shirt, Phillip has on a lavender dress shirt, and Tony has on white dress shirt. The girls were pretty much matching their dates. Em has on a black skirt the flows out from her hips down to her knees, a peach blouse that was tucked into the skirt, and white heels. Haley was looking lovely in a purple-tone dress. It was lavender along the bust, a deeper purple on the skirt that went down to her knees, and a dark satin strip on the waist and it was strapless. I was looking absolutely hot, if I do say so myself, in a white dress. It had one strap around the neck that tied in the back, the back was open, and it flowed down from my waist to my knees. I paired it with some black flats. Em had her hair in two panda buns with a few strands down to frame her face, Haley left all of her hair down, and mine was swept into a messy bun.

"Everyone ready?" I asked, getting mumbles in agreement. That'll do.

I lead everyone out to the selection of cars for the night. There were three topless Lamborghini's in red, black, and white. Tony and I grabbed the red one. He let me drive because we both knew I was going to drink at dinner. The other two couples climbed into the black one, Phillip at the wheel. Best choice, Em or Carson would have driven like crazy. Reese and Ethan got the white one, a stark contrast to their dark shirts. Out of all three cars, that one was the most likely to crash.

We all left, driving down the winding path with me in the lead and the boys at the rear. The drive was long, but scenic. Houses lined the cobble streets and people cheered when they saw the three cars. There was different music coming from each car. Tip Toe by Jason Derulo ft. French Montana was coming from the boys' car, Dusk Till Dawn by Zayn featuring Sia from the couple car, and New Rules by Dua Lipa from Tony and I's. It was an odd mix, but oh well.

By the time we reached the restaurant each song had ended. We parked, all three next to each other in a row. It was beautiful to see them shine in the rays of the setting sun. I led us inside and nodded to the waiter who was waiting for us. She led us to a long table with four seats on each side. We all took our seats and started chatting while we looked through the menu.

Tracey was going out to dinner with her parents. She said she would be at the house when we got back and she would talk to Tony with Reese. I had told him before we left which left him silent, even now. He didn't even order alcohol. But I did. I was going to need it.

When we get back to the house, Ethan is close to completely drunk and I'm a little tipsy. Em and Carson disappear to their room and I giggle at what is going to happen. Phillip and Haley go for a walk through the vineyard. Ooh, romantic! Maybe I am drunk... Reese trudges into the main living room with Tony and I behind him. As I snuggle into a couch with a fluffy blanket, Tony pauses at seeing Tracey just sitting there.

Reese plops into the other end of the couch she's sat on. Tony sits across from them, confused as to what is going on. If I wasn't drunk, I'd try and calm down the gonna-be story. Oh well. Tracey takes a deep breath before starting, Reese just staring at his lap.

"Tony, hear us out. We didn't mean to do it and we don't want to hurt you. There is no right to keep this from you, so here we are. Just, hear us out, please." She starts, staring intently at him. Ooh, serious. Tony still looks confused. Aw, cute!
