Sunday.

The day Keydah and I sat in the hotel room, eating all different food from room service, and making our way down to the bar a few times.

"So do you think he'd tell them?" Keydah asked throwing back a shot.

"I don't think so." I said taking a sip on my beer.

"What if he does?"

"Then we move."

"Why are you taking this so seriously Lex? So what you guys-"

"It's not that simple Key. He leaves me eighth grade then shows up two years later when we were first introduced to Dartwell? We haven't spoken in two years Keydah. Two long ass years. There's no way I'm making the same mistake again." I put down my beer and went to the bathroom to get my shoes.

"Where are you going?" Keydah yelled.

"Out."

"Alexa it's eleven at night where could you-"

"I said out."

And I left.

Back at the base: (third person)

"Bent what's got you so quiet?"

"He's always quiet Naomi."

"Yeah but he's, extra quiet."

"She has a point Jordan he's been acting funny since yesterday."

Back at the base, Declan's on the floor playing video games, Jordan's on one couch, Naomi's in the middle and Bennett's on the other couch. All bored out of their minds, except for Declan of course.

"I haven't been acting like anything okay!" Bennett said before storming over to the coat rack.

"Where are you going dude?" Jordan asked.

"Out." Replied Bennett.

"Out?" All Three said in unison.

"Out." Said Bennett.

He slipped on his black converses, along with his black hoodie and dark blue beanie, and walked right out.

He walked for a couple of blocks before reaching an old diner,

Leo's fine dining and open bar, 24/7 baby!

I guess I'm hungry. Or maybe i just want a drink. I'll go in anyway. Bennett thought to himself.

He entered the bar and got a good whiff of hamburgers and beer. He glanced over to the pool table, and saw a couple guys huddled over probably watching a good game. He looked at the booths and saw most of them filled, and at the bar only one stool left. The live entertainment was playing and everyone was enjoying the music and the food.

He walked over to the stool and sat down before the whole room went quiet. He turned around and noticed everyone went silent because the one and only Alexa Eldridge walked in.

"Turn the f*ck around and go about your business there's nothing to look at here." She snapped, and everyone's head snapped away from her and went on into their conversations again, everyone except Bennett.

He tried hiding his face as she plopped right down on the stool next to him. The bartender, a guy around their age with dirty blonde messy hair and blue eyes bent down in front of Alexa and cupped his head in his hands, Alexa copied his facial expressions, until he gave up and kissed her forehead.
