Exchange

When Friday night came around we set up as usual, but this time we put out a table at the back of the room with the t-shirts. Any money made from the shirts was going back into the band; into more shirts and into getting a proper demo done. The boys were starting to get really serious about the band, but none of their parents wanted them to really pursue it as a career, the boys on the other hand were starting to really consider it.

As the boys played their little set as the support band, me, kayleigh and Pat stood behind our merch table while Belle and Kailyn were in the crowd; and the crowd was bigger than anticipated. It was a different view watching them from the merch table compared to side stage or even in the middle of the crowd.

At the end of the set we were getting ready to pack up, and we'd only sold maybe 7 shirts or so, we got a rush of people coming and wanting shirts. We were a little taken aback by how many people wanted shirts but nonetheless we sold them to them. Actually we sold out, and had to turn people away, which none of us were expecting. We packed up the empty boxes and headed backstage.

"hello there" I said as I jumped on Seb from behind,
"hi, can you get off me back now?" he asked playfully, making me pout, before turning around and giving me a kiss on the cheek and a hug making me smile.
"no pouting, I don't like it when you pout" he said laughing and then kissing me.

"seriously can you two get a room, or would you just like us to clear out so you can have this one to yourselves?" David joked laughing,
"not like they don't already basically share a room" said Kayleigh laughing Before Sebastien gave her a look which told her to shut up.

When the boys packed up a few people at the side of the stage got the boys' attention so they went down to sign whatever the fans wanted them to sign before packing everything in the van. We stopped off at Chucks place to unload what gear wasn't coming with us; so everything except a guitar each since the boys refused not to take a guitar. Chucks mum insisted on feeding us before we left, and made us all sit down and quickly eat the pasta she had before letting us pile into the two cars and leave.

About half way to the lake we pulled over to a fast food court and service station to stretch our legs and get some snacks.

"you alright? You seem cold.." asked Sebastien as we walked back to the car,
"maybe because it's a cold night, and I don't know, I'm cold" I suggested being completely sarcastic,
"come here," he said pulling me close to him.

We got in the car while we waited for everyone else to come back; he grabbed a blanket from the back of the car and put it around me and snugged next to me in the back seat keeping me warm.

"are you two alright there?" asked Pat as he opened the back seat door and just stared at us,
"mhm she's just cold" replied Sebastien and I just nodded in agreement,
"Pierre your turn to drive" Sebastien said throwing the keys are Pierre,
"ah okay then" he agreed jumping into the front seat; Kayleigh got in the passenger seat while Pat got in next to Sebastien.

*Kayleigh’s POV*
Jessie had fallen asleep and Pat seemed out of it so I figured it would be safe to talk to Seb about Pierre and I sleeping in the same bed. I looked over at Pierre who was driving; he was concentrating on the road and hadn’t noticed me looking over at him.

“Pierre” I whispered,
“mhm” he responded keeping his eyes on the road
“Is it alright if we talk to Sebastien now?” I asked, and he nodded

“What’s this I heard about my name?” Sebastien interrupted before I could even turn around to try and get his attention.
“Wow someone has supersonic hearing” joked Pierre making Sebastien chuckle
“Sebastien, can we talk? I mean just remember I’m your sister and you love me, and Pierre is your BEST friend” I said emphasizing the word best.
“Shoot” Sebastien said looking directly at me

“Okay, umm remember last weekend when Jess wanted to speak to you so Pierre went and ah slept in her bed” I said reluctantly
“Yes…” he replied slowly as if he knew where it was headed
“please don’t kill either of us but well Pierre didn’t exactly sleep in Jess’s bed, nor did he sleep on the floor” I said slowly hoping he wouldn’t react angrily
“so Pierre you slept with Kayleigh?” Sebastien asked
“I didn’t SLEEP with her, I slept in the bed with her if that’s what you mean” Pierre clarified
“yeah that’s what I mean” Sebastien said shaking his head, “because I want to have that thought, thank you very much” he said making me laugh

“I was just clarifying that THAT didn’t happen” Pierre said taking his focus back on to the road.
“Well good, anyway why are you telling me this?” Sebastien asked obviously starting to get tired and wondering where this conversation was headed
“Wait you’re alright with what happened?” I asked,
“I wouldn’t say I’m alright, but it was going to happen eventually I guess. I’m you’re big brother, of course I’m not going to like the idea that some guy is sleeping in the same bed as you!” Sebastien said starting to seem annoyed at the thought
“Hey Pierre isn’t some guy, he’s my boyfriend and your best friend, remember. Wouldn’t you rather it be Pierre and not some other guy you don’t know?” I asked pressing the issue
“Yeah, best friend” Sebastien mumbled
“HEY! We’re best friends remember that!” Pierre said voicing his opinion on the matter

“Look bro, we just want you to know nothing happened, and if you’re cool with it” Pierre started and then briefly looked at me and I nodded, “if you wouldn’t mind us sharing a room…” Pierre finished
“Yeah, what he said” I said looking at Pierre and then at Sebastien grinning hoping he wouldn’t object to it,
“NOTHING is happening between you two right?” he asked looking at me directly in the eye and I shook my head.
“no, I promise” I said looking at him as he sighed.

“You promise… Pierre?” he asked looking at him
“Sebastien I promise, she might be my girlfriend but she’s also your little sister” Pierre said, sounded like the answer Sebastien wanted to hear,
“My little sister? What’s that supposed to mean?” Sebastien queried
“It means that if I go down that path or hurt her in any way you’ll kick my ass and I won’t fight back because I guess I’d deserve it” Pierre said making Sebastien smile; obviously just the answer he wanted to hear
“That’s very true, I WOULD kick your ass” Sebastien said chuckling.

“I guess if you two swear nothing is going down, I can get over it a little” Sebastien said reluctantly
“We swear!” I said excitedly looking over at Sebastien as he smiled softly knowing that what he had said had made me happy, “Sebby I love you and you’re my bestest big brother” I said cheesily making him smile
“Just remember, if anything happens, Pierre you’re in so much shit its not even funny” he warned
“I swear, nothing will happen” Pierre said with a smile
“Also remember that you can hear almost anything that happens in the lake house so don’t think you would be able to get away with anything” Sebastien warned and we both nodded in agreement.

*normal POV*
The next thing I knew Sebastien was trying to get me out of the car.

"huh what's happening?" I asked as Sebastien lifted me in his arms out of the car,
"you fell asleep in the car" he said, letting me put my feet on the floor.

Kayleigh came up to me and handed me her can of Coca Cola
"here have a sip, keep you up long enough to get inside the house" she said, so I took a few big sips, before I felt the sugar start to wake me up.

Kayleigh’s bag was pretty heavy as usual so Sebastien refused to let her carry it, and as a general rule he never let me carry my own stuff. Kayleigh went ahead of me and opened the door to the lake house, and pulled me inside. The inside of the house was beautiful; a mainly wooden frame and full of pictures of all the good times the Lefebvre's have had here.

"come on I'll show you round" said Kay grabbing my hand. The lounge room was big and open, the kitchen adjoined it and the entire room opened onto a balcony, which faced the lake.

"it'll look better in the morning when you can actually see" grinned Kayleigh dragging me upstairs.

"basically there's bedrooms here and the bathroom is here, those two bedrooms have their own bathrooms" she said pointing in all directions before dragging me back downstairs.

"that's the last of everything" Jeff said cheerfully as he placed his and Sebastien's guitar in the guitar rack up against the wall.

"so has anyone called rooms yet?" asked David slyly...
"well I call the one with the ensuite!" yelled Sebastien,
"I call the other one with the ensuite!" yelled Kayleigh from the kitchen as she put away food,

"not fair!" said Pat glaring at Seb,
"hey, it’s perfectly fair our lake house!" smirked Sebastien with a little laugh, “you don’t like it then get out” Sebastien joked

"everyone grab your shit and go find a place to crash" instructed Pierre grabbing his and Kayleigh’s bags from the pile of bags at the bottom of the stairs.
"okay, Kayleigh what in Gods name is in this bag?!" yelled Pierre,
"mmm stuff" she responded shrugging taking Pierre's bag off of him.

I dragged my feet upstairs after everyone else went up before me, when I got upstairs I really didn't know where I was sleeping, but then I saw my bag in one of the rooms with an ensuite so I didn't object and just walked in and started searching for my pyjamas.

"hey you alright?" asked Seb walking into the room as I rummaged through my bag
"mhm just tired, I bunking with you?" I asked,
"yeah that alright?" he asked even though he knew it was,
"yeah of course" I said with a smile before closing the bathroom door and getting changed.

"wait if I'm here then who's sleeping with Kay?" I asked Seb as I got into the bed next to him,
"Pierre" he mumbled,
"and you're fine with that?"
"I wouldn't saying I'm FINE but I'm okay with it. They told me they shared Kays bed last weekend and that nothing happened and that nothing was going to happen. So I figured it could be worse; could be some random guy who I barely knew opposed to my best friend, who I can trust" he said shrugging, obviously tired.

"you were asleep" he added, obviously I looked confused as to when this conversation has occurred. "ahkay, well goodnight" "good night sweetie" he said; kissing my cheek lightly before I drifted off to sleep.
