friends and alibis.

Anna closed her eyes and yawned slightly. She had been up half the night worrying about Ronnie.

--

Max nodded his head. "Get whatever you want, love. I'll pay." He spoke, opening the door to the restaurant.

"Tired?" Ronnie asked, looking over at her. "We can skip pizza and go take a nap and cuddle if you want."

--

Allie just got a sample plate of everything. "You're amazing." she kissed his cheek.

Anna shook her head. "Nah, I'm still kinda hungry. Let's get a pizza and then head back to the bus. Okay?" She asked, leaning her head against Ronnie's shoulder.

--

Max blushed, the feeling of guilt growing bigger and bigger in his stomach. How could he have cheated on someone as wonderful as Allie again? "I'm really not..." He spoke quietly.

Ronnie nodded, "whatever you say baby." he drove to the pizza place, "I'll run in and get it."

--

"You are. You've made mistakes but we all do. That's what makes us human." Allie said.

"Okay," Anna said softly. "Can you get pineapple on it, please?"

--

Max smoothed back Allie's hair. "And you're just my perfect princess. I love you." He bent down to give Allie a kiss.

Ronnie nodded, "sure can." He went inside and got two pizzas. One for him and Anna and one for the guys.

--

Allie smiled, "I love you too." she kissed him back. When her sushi came she offered him some.

Anna smiled, holding the pizzas in her lap. "Thank you!" She said, leaning over to give Ronnie a kiss.

--

"Thank you, baby." Max kissed Allie's head, taking a bite of her sushi.

Ronnie kissed her back, "anything for my princess." he smiled. He started the car up and started heading back to where the bus was. When he got there, he parked Allie's car in the same place and then got out. He opened Anna's door before she could get it and took the pizzas so she could get out.

--

"So my mom was talking about you the other day. She said you need to come visit when you get off tour so she can make you some good home cookin. She said you can bring Ronnie too." Allie giggled, dipping a piece of sushi in soy sauce before eating it.

Anna smiled softly and got up, dusting off her knees. She followed Ronnie onto the bus, saying hello to the guys when she saw them.

--

Max smiled. "I love your mom's food, babe... So I'll definitely be there." He said, patting Allie's hand and sipping his coke.

@ lorna morello.
"Hey Anna," the boys said together before noticing the pizza. "Food!" they cheered, going over to the pizza. Ronnie chuckled, "you're welcome." he said, taking Anna to the bunks with their own pizza.

--

Allie smiled, "she loves that you love it...I think we're the only ones. I think my dad and brother pretend to like it." she giggled, sipping her sprite.

Anna climbed into Ronnie's bunk area and took the pizza from him, opening it up.

--

Max shook his head. 'I have no idea HOW they don't like your mom's cooking. It's beyond amazing."

@ lorna morello.
"I'm so hungry. You know what I miss though? Allie's mom's cooking. Goddamn that woman is a beast at cooking." Ronnie said, taking a piece for himself.

--

Allie giggled, "right? All my friends, including you and Ronnie and Anna, like it." she said, finishing her sprite. "She adores you and Ronnie though, she probably wishes you guys were her kids." she laughed.

"She made me some fried chicken this week," Anna smiled slightly, taking a bite of her pizza.

--

"Well come on, Ronnie and I are adorable. It's impossible not to love us." Max laughed slightly.

--

@ lorna morello.
"Yum. You should have brought me some." Ronnie joked.

--

Allie giggled, "touche, babe."

"Hell no! All of that was for me, I ate it all last night." Anna laughed, nibbling at her pizza.

--

Max ordered himself another plate of sushi and a coke.

@ lorna morello.
"You're so mean!" Ronnie teased and kissed her cheek.

--

"So I got you a present." Allie said.

"But I'm cute, so it all works out." Anna smiled slightly.

--

Max bit his lip, feeling guiltier by the second for what he had done. "You did?"

@ lorna morello.
"Yes, yes it does." Ronnie grinned.

--

Allie nodded and pulled out the little box. "There ya go."
