Marnie and Bay walked in a comfortable silence down the road to Beau's house. The sun was begining to set and a bitterly cold breeze whipped around Bay's bare arms, making her shudder and wrap her fragile arms around her small, pale frame. They finally arrived back at Beau's and climbed the small set of steps that lead to the door. Marnie fumbled with the keys and eventually unlocked the door, pushing it open. Both girls sighed when the warm rushed of air from the cozy heated house hit their freezing skin.
"I'm going to go and get changed real quick!" Bay announced and bolted up the stairs. She found a warm jumper and changed her jeans before touching up her make up and brushing her hair.
"Come on B! We have five minutes to walk over there!" Marnie yelled inpatiently up the stairs to her sister.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" Bay bounded, excitedly down the stairs. Marnie chuckled at her over-excited sister and opened the door, holding it for Bay. It took them 5 minutes to walk back to MIW's house and they were then greeted by Balz.
"Hello ladies!" He smiled and hugged them both. The rest of the guys filed out of the house and onto the driveway.
"Ok so if we take two cars then there should be enough space. Ricky, Balz, Ryan, Bay and Marnie can go in Ryan's car then the rest of us can go in mine." Chris instructed, confidently. Everyone nodded their approval of his plan and moved so they were in the appropriate car.
"Who's sitting in the middle?" Balz asked.
"I call shot gun!" Marnie yelled and dived into the front seat of the car. Ryan was already sat in the drivers seat because it was his car.
"Not me!" Ricky slid into the left hand seat. Bay and Josh looked at each other then both, at the same time, tried to climb into the other seat. Their limbs ended up tangled, pulling them close.
"Come here often?" He chuckled, looking down at her. Bay giggled softly, blushed and looked down, then looked straight back up when she realised she couldn't look down with out looking like she was staring at his crotch. Josh chuckled again and lifted himself away from her. Bay shuffled over, into the middle seat. Ricky looked over at her and smiled. It didn't look like a genuine smile but Bay didn't ask questions, which Ricky was thankful for, and smiled back. Ryan turned on the radio and everyone grimaced and groaned when Calvin Harris started playing. Bay took her phone out of her pocket and leant forward. She plugged her phone into the stereo and was fully aware that both Balz and Ricky were looking at her ass. She pressed shuffle and 'Fuck Everything' by Suicide Silence started playing. Bay smiled to herself, this was one of her favourite songs. A few more songs played before they pulled into the car park of the studio. Bay climbed out of the car and stared in awe at the huge building.
"First time at a recording studio?" Josh asked as he came up behind her. Bay nodded.
"Come on!" He grinned and grabbed her hand, pulling her into a run towards the door. She could feel everyones eyes on their hands and blushed slightly but, luckily Josh didn't notice.
Chris watched as Balz pulled Bay towards the door.
"They're so going to end up going out!" Marnie laughed. Ricky walked passed them and headed for the door closely followed by everyone else.
Ang nodded and walked after Chris. They all filed into the studio and Bay and Marnie situated them selves on the deep, well used leather couch behind the mixing desk. Bay sat in awe at all the equipment and instruments. Although she never really persused it, Bay had an interest in producing music and the process behind the finished product. a middle aged man with a pair of glasses pushed up, on top of his head walked into the room and set up position behind the desk. The boys got to work on recording and tweeking the detail of their album.

"That's a wrap!" The producer declared as Chris finished the last note and took him headphones off, setting them on the stand. The guys were all smiles when they walked out of the studio, Bay and Marnie close behind.
"That was awesome guys!" Bay smiled. They all thanked her as they walked through the big glass doors and into the darkness.
"Bloody hell! What time is it?" Marnie asked, shocked that the light of day had faded so quickly, blanketing everything in thick darkness. Ryan pulled out his phone and checked the time.
"1:16...am" He reported. Bay's eyes widened. They'd been in the studio for almost 5 hours!
"I need fucking sleep." Bay whined. Marnie groaned in agreement and climbed into the front seat of Ryan's car. Ricky offered to take the middle seat which Balz and Bay both graciously excepted and took their seats. Bay yawned loudly causing everyone to suppress laughs.
"Stup up! I'm tired ok!" Bay chuckled and curled up against the door, closing her eyes.
Both Balz and Ricky looked over at her and smiled. Ricky couldn't help but think he reconised her from somewhere. Ryan and Marnie were talking about Allie and how they thought they would be great friends if they ever met. Marnie felt a little uneasy. Bay was never good with people but she was talking to the guys like she'd known them her entire life which, to a protective sister, was a bit scary. Marnie sighed to herself and pushed those thoughts aside. Although Bay and Marnie were twins, Marnie always felt the older sister, she always took Bay's problems into her own hands which was both a gift and curse in many respects of the phase.
"What are we going to do with her." Marnie chuckled as she opened the door that her sister had fallen asleep against, causing Bay to fall sideways. Luckily Ricky grabbed her waiste to stop her from hitting the cold tarmac of the driveway. Without saying anything, Ricky slid Bay onto his lap and in one swift motion picked her up and climbed out of the car. Subconsciously Bay cuddled further into his chest which made him smile. Balz opened the door to the house and followed Ricky in. Bay inhales a deep breath and sighed contently at the comforting smell that filled her nose. She knew someone was carrying her but was to tired to care who or why, she just smiled softly into their chest and slept.
