I woke up to the feeling of the bus stopping. It was still dark outside so I checked the time on my phone. Three am. I sighed and unwrapped Cody's arm from my waist. "Where do you think you're going?" He grabbed my shirt and pulled me back down. "I'm guessing no where?" "Correct." He drew a check mark in the air.

"I want to go see where we are." "We've parked." Cody said. "I'm hungry." "It's the middle of the night." Cody chuckled. I stayed silent. "But I guess if that's what makes you happy." Cody sighed and got up. I watched him as he went out of the small room. "Come on then?" He stood in the doorway while he put a hoodie on.

I grinned and got up. "But we gotta be quiet because they're all sleeping." He whispered and held my waist to guide me through the bus. We opened the door and snuck out to be greeted by Matt and Scooter who were stood outside. "Shit! Go back, go back!" I pushed him but it was too late.

"And where do you think you're off to?" Scooter asked. "We were thinking of maybe going to find something to eat." Cody scratched the back of his neck. "It's three am!" Scooter checked his watch. "She woke me up by moving." "You wake up every time I move?" I looked at him. "Yeah." He looked away from me. "Well go back to bed. You have a show in 14 hours." "We're gonna go find some McDonalds." I grinned and pulled Cody's hand.

"Lauren, no." Matt stepped in. "Oh loosen up. We need to talk anyway." I glared at Cody who looked at the two men innocently. "He looks pretty scared." Scooter laughed. "Yeah, he should be." I watched him. "Alright, we're gonna go now." Cody took my hand and started walking away.

"Why am I in trouble?" "You're not." "You said we needed to talk." "What made you change your mind?" I walked backwards so I could face him. "About what?" "Dan." "You looked upset the other night, I know you miss him and he deserves a second chance. He's one of the only guys who actually respects us, despite the fact that he's in love with you." "Why say it like that?" I walked by his side again.

"Say what like what?" "In love with you." "You want me to be happy about it?" "I just want you to stop being jealous because of your own mistakes." I sighed. A 24/7 McDonalds came into sight. "I'm not jealous." "You are though. Like I said last night, all I have to do is look at another guy and you switch up and get mad. It's not fair on me." "I don't like sharing my baby." "So you're selfish?" I walked through the doors.

"I'm not selfish." I turned around and caught his eyes on my butt. "Oi." I snapped my fingers. Cody looked up with a smirk. "Sorry." He laughed. I rolled my eyes and walked to the counter. "You do have money on you, right?" "Since when am I paying?" "Since you are a jealous, selfish jerk." I smiled sweetly. Cody groaned and stuffed his hand in his pocket to get out his wallet.

"Thanks." I stuffed another load of fries in my mouth. "Yeah." Cody watched me eat. "Why so cranky?" I asked. "Why do you think?" I rolled my eyes at him. "I think we need to spend some time apart." My stomach dropped as he said those words. "What?" I stopped eating and looked at him. "Nooo, not like that. We just need to stop hanging out together all the time." "Well we have no choice, we have two more weeks of constantly being together." "Well you're gonna have to stop being annoying then." He smiled.

"I wanna meet Jake's new girl." "She's ho-" He stopped himself. "Real hot." I looked at him. Cody grinned and took one of my fries. "If you play your cards right, she could be your number three." I smirked. "Do you think you're funny because no one else is laughing." "You're the only one here." I laughed. "I'm gonna hurt you." He mumbled.

"Cody's doing meet and greets." I moaned and fell onto the couch next to Jake. "Cody's pissed at you." He laughed. "I know but it's no fun, he's not here to annoy." Jake laughed at me. "I'd watch your back though, he thinks Jasmin's hot." I rested my feet over his lap. "I think his girlfriend's hot, that doesn't mean I'm gonna make a move on her." Jake looked at me.
