Nick's POV
~~~
Third wheel, third wheel, third wheel. Forever the third wheel. I look at my mirror and there they are... close talking, laughing and shit. Why they gotta do me like that? That's my question. "Hey guys!" I start to talk trying to break the awkwardness I felt, instantly regretting it. I think of something fast to say incase they ask me... "What!?" Edwin replies sounding super annoyed. I think of a convo starter. "Do you guys want to stop anywhere?" I ask them. Cameron gets excited. "711!!" she requests, making me jump. I loved the idea. "Say no more!" I say as I headed for the closest one to us maybe 5 minutes away.

Austin's POV
~~~
It's now 2:48 in the morning and Zion is bumping his music, full blast in his car like he's at a club or some shit. Annoying. "Easier said than done, I thought you were the one. Listening to my heart, instead of my head. You found another one, but I am the better one, I won't let you forget me!" he sings along to Lucid Dreams. I look at him and laughed at what I see. This guy is literally in his feelings. He picks up his phone, still bobbing his head, and changes the song. He looks at me with the biggest smile on his face. "They're rotting my brain, love. These hoes are the saammeeee!" he starts. Lord. "I admit it, another hoe got me finished!" he looks at me to start singing with him. I laughed and looked at him. He raises a brow until I accept. I can't really relate to this song, but it is a bop. "Broke my heart, oh no you didn't!" I sung. He smiles. We both started to get lit. "FUCK SIPPIN'! I'MA DOWN A WHOLE BOTTLE! HARD LIQUOR! HARD TRUTH CAN'T SWALLOW!" We both sing. I stop but Zion keeps going. I take out my phone and opened Instagram to post us getting turnt on my story. I started to film Zion go off. "RAN INTO THE DEVIL TODAY AND SHE GRINNIIiNN!" he basically shouts. I continue to laugh at how into the song Z was. I post it, captioning it "In his feels 🤭". I truly feel like that line meant something to him... Sydney. "How's Sydney?" I ask him straight up while turning down the music. He smiles at me and shrugs. I was gonna let it go but I really wanted to know where his head was. "You don't like her anymore." I say jumping to the conclusion. He looks at me. "It's her. She doesn't know what she wants." he tells me. I noticed that about her. "When's the last time you spoke to her?" I ask him. I hope I wasn't crossing any boundaries. He laughs. "I really couldn't tell you bro." he says with a broken smile. Damn. "She'll come around. That's how Julia was at first..." I tell him. That's the actual truth. Julia was wishy washy about her feelings for me. She'll act like she wanted me one day then switch up and act like she didn't the next. "I really don't want to wait." he starts to open up. I just listen. "I mean, I wanna be the one but I just don't know if I can wait no more. You know?" (**THAT WAS SO PLANNED! 😂 LMAO!! I'm gonna do this more often! idc!! 😭**) "So are you gonna wait?" I ask him. He rubs his temple and sighs. "I'm just gonna move one, I guess." he says. I think this was the exact moment he actually made that decision. Shit. I hope he knows that I wasn't trying to condone it. He turns back up his music as 'Lean Wit Me' started to play. He doesn't even sing along, he just continues to look down the empty road and drive. I turn to look at Brandon to see what he was up to. When I tell you he was knocked tf out, he was KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT! I'm talking mouth wide open and everything. He had his head back against the seat. I take out my phone again to film him on snapchat. I turn down Zion's music once more so I can talk in my snap. "BRO!" Zion complains. I forgot he was feeling Juice WRLD right now. "Relax." I tell him as I started to film Brandon sleep. "Awwwhhh! Look at BEEEEE!" I say in a baby voice in my snap. Zion laughs as he turned on my street. I take a cutout of Brandon before pinning a Bee emoji beside his face. Zion pulled into my driveway. "Thanks man." I thank him as I put away my phone into my pocket. We do our handshake before I left. I opened the door and stepped out and walk around to Brandon's door to scare him awake. "BRANDON!" I yell as I opened the door scaring both him and Zion. He jumps awake. "WHAA—!" he yells looking around, frightened. His face was priceless. I wish I caught it on camera. "You fucking scared me!" Z says placing a hand on his chest also scared. I guess I could've warned him. I laugh. I tap both Z and B on their shoulders and headed towards my house. I walk up my doorstep and turned. Zion waves out the window as he backed out of the driveway. I wave back and entered my house. Time to send my 'Goodnight Text' to Julia before I go to bed. I take out my phone and started my text as I walked up to my room:
