Chapter 16

Cute best friend photo in the media that reminds me of Ada and Anouk :).

...

"I don't want you to leave." Ada whined, wrapping her arms around Anouk tiredly, it was 4 in the morning and the bus had arrived at the nearest airport. Everyone was either passed out, drunk, or about to collapse.

"I love you, Best Friend." Anouk told Ada and Ada hugged Anouk tighter before letting go. They stood outside the bus on the sidewalk.

"I love you, too, Best Friend. Have a safe trip." Ada said, before climbing back on the bus to give Phil and Anouk some space. Phil must be torn because Ada definitely was. It was no doubt that Anouk had become Ada's best friend in the past week, Anouk was there from the start and it was nice to have someone else to talk to then Jenson- and Tino, but he is a guy.

Ada changed into sweats and one of austin's cut offs before climbing into his bunk. He stirred awake and lifted up the covers to help her in. She snuggled into Austin and he wrapped his long arms around her small frame and squeezed her even tighter into his body. "Night, babe." His raspy voice said and Ada blushed, kissing the place where his jaw and neck met.

"Night."

...

Ada woke up to kisses being placed all over her neck, jaw, and face. Her eyes fluttered open and she blinked to see Austin's handsome face, smiling.

"Good morning." That voice would never get old for Ada. It was like all sexy voices in the world combined into one- that was his morning voice.

Ada leant her face up and pressed her lips onto Austin's and they moved in sync. That tingling feeling was restored and explosions ignited in her stomach. She pulled away, "We should get up."

Austin frowned playfully and Ada kissed him once more before climbing out of the bunk.

She walked into the bathroom and changed quickly into a pair of Nike sweats and a singlet with a plaid flanel over it. She exited the bathroom and walked into the front lounge where Jenson sat on one couch and Nick sat on the other couch. Nick sighed loudly and Jenson rolled her eyes. Ada could just feel the tension.

"Good Morning?" Ada greeted, unsure what to do or say. Alan came out of the bunks with Austin close behind.

"Morning, Ada." Alan hugged Ada, randomly before grabbing the bag of hot cheetos off the counter. Austin kissed Ada's forehead before pouring himself a bowl of cheerios. Ada grabbed the bag of grapes and gallon of Sunny D before joining Alan at the table. Ada assumed Austin went to get dressed.

"How was your sleep?" Alan asked, and Ada shrugged.

"Got like 5 hours of sleep, but it was alright. I'm sad Anouk had to leave though." Ada confessed and Alan nodded.

They finished their breakfast as everyone woke up and walked around. Whatever fight Nick and Jenson were having was obviously awkward for the whole band and Phil was all sad because Anouk had to fly back to California. Ada and Tino decided that they needed to get everyone's attitude up so they asked the bus driver to take them to the nearest Arcade.

The whole band was clueless as they exited the bus to see the huge arcade. "No way." Alan jumped around excitely and ran back on the bus to get his wallet. Phil, Aaron, and Nick just laughed at Tino & Ada's creative idea.

The group headed into the arcade but Ada grabbed Jenson's arm to hold her back from going in. "Can we talk?"

"About what?" She stepped aside and Ada lit a smoke.

"First of all, what's up with you and Nick?" Jenson sighed and rolled her eyes.

"It's so fucking stupid. Last night he wanted to take me on a date and I said no because Anouk was leaving and I wanted to get drunk." Jenson told Ada and Ada nodded. That really sucks, especially since Nick just told me yesterday that he loved Jenson.
