Brooklyn

"Someone trade places with me." Rian yawned, keeping his hands on the steering wheel.

We all remained quiet.

"Please?" Rian asked. The sound of Matt snoring filled the van.

"I'll drive." Hally said.

"No!" Alex wrapped his arms around Hally.

"I'll drive then." Zack said.

Rian pulled over and they quickly switched spots.

A yawn escaped Brooklyn's lips loudly.

"Tired much?" I laughed.

She nodded weakly, resting her head on my shoulder.

We've been dating for almost a month now.
And it's been really great.

A bright light flashed in my face, waking me up.

Standing over me was Brooklyn with a Polaroid camera in her hands.

"You're drooling." She giggled.

I wiped it off the tip of my mouth.

"Ew." I said.

I looked around the bus. "Where is everyone?" I asked.

"They just went into Denny's." She said.

She looked at the picture. "Hey, look! It's a drooling Jack!" She put the picture in front of my face.

I look like shit when I sleep. My hair was all frizzy and crap, and I was drooling.
That must have been an attractive sight.

"That's a horrible picture of me." I laughed, stepping out of the van with her.

She gasped. "Nuh-uh! I like it!"

"Hi, welcome to Denny's" A brown haired girl greeted us.

"Hiya. We already have a table with some other people." Brooklyn smiled.

The greeting girl nodded and let us through.

"Hey guys!" Alex said with a mouth full of food.

"Keep the food in the mouth, Gaskarth." I said, sitting down in the booth next to Brooklyn.

I grabbed a pancake from Alex's plate and put syrup on it.

"Fey!" Alex yelled, food almost falling out of his mouth.

"Like I said before, food IN the MOUTH, Alex." I laughed, shaking my head.

"I'm a growing boy!" Alex patted his tummy.

"Eat anymore and you might freaking explode." Matt said.

"Are you trying to imply that I'm fat, Flyzik?" Alex raised his eyebrow.

"A little bit." Matt nodded.

Everyone at the table made "OOOOH!" sounds.

"Did you just call my boyfriend fat?" Hally put her hands on her hips.

Everyone laughed at Matt's expression. He had a piece of bacon hanging out of his mouth with a scared look in his eye.

"No ma'am."

"Yeah! See? I'm not a fatty!" Alex patted his stomach again.

"I dunno. I think you should be hitting the exercise room soon." I patted his belly.

"Shut the hell up, Barakat."

"'Those are some very hurtful words, Alex." I said, swooping an arm around Brooklyn.

"Guys," Matt called us over.

"Yeah, Matt?" I asked.

"You guys are having some fans come back stage." He told us.

"Seriously?" Rian asked.

"Seriously." Matt nodded.

"Sweet!" Alex did an odd little awkward dance.

"Awesome!" I did a fist pump into the air.

"Yeah, yeah. Well, the people who are coming should be back here in like ten minutes." Matt said.

We all nodded. "Okay." We said.

Ten minutes later there was a guy who looked about my age, a girl who looked fourteen, another girl who looked like she want near my age, too, and then another guy standing in front of us.

"Hey, J-" Brooklyn came into the room and freezed before she slowly tip toed out of the room.

That was...weird.

"Hi." The first guy said. "My names Nate."

Alex nodded and wrote his autograph and then passed it to Rian while he made small talk with Nate.

"Hally poked her head into the room, looking at the four people who were lined up. Her eyes widened and she quickly took her head back.

What were those girls doing.

Hally started dragging Brooklyn into the room. I'm surprised no one has noticed this yet.

Brooklyn ran back out of the room quickly.

"Hally!" I shouted.

Hally turned on her heel and walked over to me. "What? I've got cousin duties to be doing."

"What's going on?" I asked.

"We'll tell you later!" She ran out of the room.

Well, that was REALLY helpful.
