Amari

I quietly tip toed back into the hotel room. It was around 10 o'clock and I assumed everyone had cried about their parents and went to sleep. The room was dark except for the bluish light illuminating from the tv that played quietly. Someone was asleep on the couch and I didn't want to wake them. I walked into the bedroom area of the hotel room and saw that it was empty. They must've both been sleeping on the couch. I sat my bag on the bed and went to grab some pajamas.

"You're still up?" Tyler asked walking into the room.

"Yeah." I nodded. "I just got in. I thought that was you on the couch."

"No." Tyler shook his head. "I just came from my parent's room. I thought that was you and Hunter."

"Me and Hunter?" I asked kicking my shoes off.

"Yeah. It looked like two people were sleeping on the couch." Tyler yawned.

I shrugged.

"I'm showering first." Tyler said grabbing his underwear and some basketball shorts.

"No. I was here first." I argued standing up and pulling my hair back into a ponytail.

"So? Come shower with me." He smirked and held his hand out for me.

"Tempting, but no." I laughed. "Hunter's right out there."

"And? He's gonna find out someday." Tyler shrugged.

"I don't want him to find out right after he finds out about your parents." I shook my head.

"Find our about my parents? They didn't tell him." Tyler scoffed. "Changed their minds."

I nodded and wiped off my lip gloss.

"I'll be quick. I promise." Tyler said and before I could protest, he was in the bathroom.

I groaned and finished getting unready and ready for a shower. I walked into the sitting area of the room and saw just how odd Hunter looked sleeping. I gently pulled the cover off of him only to reveal Hunter and Angel both asleep holding onto one another. When did this happen? A smile spread across my face and I held back a squeal as I covered them back up and rushed back into the bedroom. What was going on? Does Hunter like Angel? It's only been two days! How would this play out after Tomorrow? Would this be it? This couldn't be it. I had fallen in love with the thought of those two being in love!

"Amari calm down." I spoke to myself. "This doesn't mean they're together or that they like each other. This could be a big misunderstanding and they probably don't even know that they're cuddling. Just calm down. If Hunter likes him, he can have him with no problems. He's a Brooks man for crying out loud and Angel already likes him. Just let them handle it."

"Why're you talking to yourself?" Tyler laughed walking out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel.

"How much of that did you hear?" I asked.

"Nothing, really. I just heard your voice." He shrugged.

"Did you use all of the hot water?" I asked.
