Derek knocked on the front door amd I let out a loud sigh and look down at the McDonald's bag in my hand accompanied by a banana-strawberry smoothie. I looked up at who opened the door, Johnson.

"For me?" He looked at the food. "You shouldn't have, bro." He smiled.

"Shut up." I rolled my eyes. "It's for Devon," I told him. "I was a complete ass last night to her, and I want to apologize."

"Hang on." Johnson furrowed his brows and held a finger up. "Griers, one of ya, get out here!" He hollered.

Hayes came walking out and stood in front of us. "What's up, man?" He asked.

"Tell him." Johnson said walking away.

"I didn't know how to." Derek said looking at Hayes, he rolls show eyes and looked me dead in the eye.

"She's not here," Hayes spoke lifeless and walked to the couch sitting down followed me Derek.

"Then I'll just wait till she's back." I shrugged sitting down with them.

"Skate, she left last night. Back home, man." Derek spoke.

"Your shiting me." I laughed.

After Hayes told me not to flatter myself he stormed out of the room and I heard a door slam. "I'm just fucking upset that I found out today, I could of fixed things last night, got her to stay." I run my hand through my hair. "She must fucking hate me," I ran my hand down my face. "I hate myself."

"We all fuck up, man." Derek said trying to comfort me.

"Derek, I totally ruined my chance with her!" I shout frustrated and stood up.

"Skate, man, chill out." Derek said tryna push me down, back on the couch. "We have that party in an hour for at Rupp's, let's go earlier okay? Cool down."

"Sure." I nod with a sigh.

"My special mix," Rupp smiled lopsided at me handing me a cup. I thanked him and drank some.

Was the last thing I remember from the party. Before that I remember finding out Anna was there and avoiding her but I obviously didn't do well at that by the fact she is in my bed.

I got out of bed and sighed running my hand threw my hair. I had a killer headache, I wouldn't have it if Devon as here she would of taken me home after a few drinks. Or I would still have the headache but shed be here and already have water and meds for me. I walked out of my room and got my own shit.

I sat down on the couch drinking the water and scrolled through Snapchat, watching stories from last night. I was just watching and clicking through them when o choked on my water because you could see me in the very back of the snap making out with Anna on Derek's story. I quickly called him.

"Delete it." I said quickly when he anwsered.

"What?" He asked confused. "Delete what?"

"On your story, the video with Johnson and G playing beer pong." I explained quickly, I knew he was gonna ask why. "I'm in the back with Anna, making out."

"Fuck." Derek replied and I heard the sound of fingers against the screen. "Okay, it's down."

"Did she see it?" I asked.

I wanted the snap down for two reasons, me and Anna our broken up and if, well I know people noticed it, but it could get fans hopes up and cause problems. And two, because Devon.

"Yeah she did." He said after looking. "She responded to it saying she hopes everyone was having fun."

I sighed and groaned. "Fuck." I rubbed my face. "Man, I don't know what to do."

"Do what you gotta do," he spoke.

I stated quiet for a moment. "I'm going." I said adburtly and quickly.
