"Goodnight, this will be are last show at the Eugi. I know it's sad, but this big album is going to get us out of the basement and into the real world," Vic announced through the speaker. Ally, Nina, Cara, and I were all in the back talking about how the boys always came back sweaty and disgusting. How did they even get sweaty? It's not like they are working out. How did Mike get sweaty? He sits at a drum set while the others are running and jumping around stage. It didn't make sense to me.

"We love you," I heard Jaime scream into the microphone. There were a bunch of yelps in response. Since A Flair For The Dramatic came out, Eugi's is always crowded on Friday nights. That's why we were sitting back stage. We didn't want to be mobbed my diehard fans. It's weird to think that these boys had diehard fans. The boys who peed in my tent when we went camping and then slipped on the pee. The boys who tried to get a hundred different girls, but failed now have fangirls wanting to get them in bed.

"Hey girls," Jaime walked came back stage first. His fluffy hair was covered in sweat which was completely disgusting. Jaime walked over to Ally and tried to hug her, but she pushed him away and held her nose from his stench. He did smell like shit.

"Please no hugging while you are sweaty," Ally begged, but Jaime wasn't a quitter. He continued to chase her around the venue. They ended up outside.

"Hi," I heard someone whisper in my ear. I turned around and looked up at Mike. He wrapped his sweaty self around me and there was no way I could escape. I decided to just let it go. I could just take a shower later.

Vic walked over to Cara and kissed her on the cheek. He smiled brightly and looked up at him. They were really cute. I just wished that Vic would talk to me like he used too. Vic and Cara walked off before I could say anything. That left Nina, Tony, Mike, and I. We sat there in silence keeping our thoughts to ourselves.

"Brian and I aren't going to work," Nina finally broke the silence. My eyes widened as I walked over to her. She was playing with her phone and looking at the ground.

"What happened?" I asked her. I thought Brian actually really liked her. I guess I was wrong. I felt so bad considering I knew Nina actually really liked Brian. She had liked him since we found The Summer Set.

"Just shit, you know? Like he couldn't work with me and I couldn't work with him. I guess we just fell out of love," Nina didn't cry. Nina wasn't one to cry. I had never seen her cry and I had known her my whole life.

"I'm really sorry," I looked at the ground with her. She chuckled and shook her head.

"I saw it coming, but I didn't do anything. I could have stopped this heartbreak and called if off so much earlier, but I was greedy. I decided to date my idol even though it was never going to work," Nina shook her head. I patted her back. I wasn't sure what to say. I mean, what do you say to a hurting friend who just got out of a relationship? Vic should be here to help her. He was good in these situations.

"He's an idiot," Tony spoke, "Anyone who would break your heart is an idiot. You're to beautiful to be broken."

We all looked at Tony with astonishment. I always joked that he like Nina, but I never knew it would be true.

"Tha- thank you Tony," Nina looked at the ground and blushed. It was weird seeing her blush considering she was a bad ass girl who wasn't fazed by anything.

"Well," Mike clapped really loudly, "I do not get drunk anymore, so I am going home. Who would like to come?" Mike glanced over to me. I raised my hand. No one else did though.

"Bye boys and Nina," He waved at everyone and we left the building. We walked towards are car and I saw a note on the window of the passenger’s seat.

'I need to speak with you tonight, so don't think about getting tired xoxo.'

It was Vic's hand writing. There was no doubt in my mind that Vic had written this for me. I was hoping that we could finally sit down and speak about our issue rather than ignoring each other. I hated when Vic ignored me. It was the worst feeling ever.

"Getting in?" Mike rolled down the window. I nodded and got in. Mike started the car and we sat with the radio lightly playing music. It was nice though. I had the time to think about what was going to happen tonight. I was scared that Vic was going to say something like 'We shouldn't be friends anymore.'

No.

Vic would never ever tell me something like that. We had been way to much for him to leave me like that. He would tell me something happy. I know he would. He always had something good to say in bad times and right now I needed something happy.

"Want to go get frozen yogurt?" Mike asked me. I shook my head. I needed to be home tonight. I had to be home all night. Mike sighed and pulled into the drive way. I exited the car quickly and ran inside ready for Vic. I didn't know if he was home or if he was coming home later.

"Are you okay? You've been on your toes since we got in the car. You wouldn't stop moving when we got in the car," Mike wrapped his arms around my waist and swayed back and forth. He learned that this calmed me down a lot.

"I'm fine, just anxious," I laid my head against his chest and swayed with him. It felt nice to be calm for a few seconds. Mike didn't ask any questions and just swayed along with me. We stayed like this for a while.

"Can we sit?" Mike asked me. I pulled him over to the couch and we both sat down. I laid on his chest and felt myself get tired. No, no sleep. I needed to be awake when Vic got here. I needed to stay awake until Vic got here.

"Talk to me. Ask me questions. Do not let me fall asleep," I told Mike.

"What's your favorite animal?" Mike asked as if he didn't know. I answered anyways.

"A panda," I told him. There was silence for a few seconds before he asked some more questions. They were all questions he knew the answer too, but I answered them anyways. I needed to stay awake.

"If I asked you on a date, would you say yes?" Mike asked me.

"Yes," I instantly answered without thinking. I was probably going to say yes anyways, but it was weird to know that I answered that without thinking. It was something I would do. I would go o na date with Mike and I'm pretty sure I would have a good time.

"Tomorrow night, let's go on a date. I won't bring you to the Olive Garden, don't worry." Mike joked knowing I had bad experience with the Olive Garden. I slapped his leg lightly as he teased me.

"Where would we go?" I asked him and he shrugged.

"Somewhere fun," Mike grinned down at me. I looked at his cute face and stuck out my tongue. He stuck his tongue out as well. I leaned up and kissed his cheek before laying on his chest again.

"We should probably go to bed," Mike started, but I shook my head.

"I can't sleep, but you can. I'll catch up with you later. Goodnight Mike," I kissed Mike on the lips quickly and sent him off. Mike didn't argue and headed towards his room to get ready for the night. Now all I had to do was stay awake until Vic got here.

"Let's talk," Someone walked out of the kitchen area. I looked up to see a very tired looking Vic with his arms crossed. How long had he been in the house?

"Alright," I smiled.

A/N- seriously worst ending ever and sorry for the delay, I've been at camp
