"I don't even know what I did wrong", I mumbled, "I've always been there for her. No matter what."

Slumping back against the door, I ran my hands through my hair which had long since fallen from its bun. Clenching my hands in my lap I looked up at Tony.

"It's going to be ok Tor", He said quietly, taking my hands in his.

He hadn't said much and I could tell he was as unsure about the situation as I was. He clearly hadn't had much experience with the bitchy nature of girls and looked lost. Looking up into his melted chocolate eyes I sighed. My head was pounding and it wasn't just from the hangover. 

"What am I going to do Tony? She's my best friend", I sighed.

"I don't know", he shrugged sympathetically, "Do you really need her?"

"I don't know. I've never had to be without her", I mumbled.

"You've got me now though", He grinned and I couldn't help but smile back.

Taking a deep breath I stood up, pulling Tony with me, "Come on I need breakfast."

"Oh", Tony stood up, "Yeah ok."

Opening the door I led Tony from the room and down the hallway.

"Is everyone up?" He asked quietly glancing down into the living  room.

"I don't know. Only Vic was up when I came down before", I answered quietly, leading him down the stairs.

"Oh", he said quietly, something in his voice caused me to stop.

Turning around I looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing", he shook his head, nibbling on his bottom lip.

"Ok", I said slowly bending over to pick up my phone which was sitting on the stairs where I'd left it.

Standing up Tony was standing on the same step as I was, looking down at me intently.

"What's-"

Tony's lips cut me off, pressing against my own. His arms wrapped around my waist and I twisted mine up and around his neck. Pulling away I looked up at him.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Good morning", he said, squeezing my waist.

I could feel colour flood my cheeks and I pressed my face into his shoulder.

"Good morning", I murmured back.

"Yeah, good morning guys!" Jaime's voice echoed through the house.

Pulling my face from Tony's crinkled shirt I looked into the living room, Jaime, Mike, Vic and Kellin were sitting on the couches. Jaime's normally spiky hair was pressed flat around one side of his head, showing where he'd been sleeping.

"Good morning", I called into the living room and was answered with a chorus of "good mornings" from the boys.

Running my hands over Tony's shoulders and down the front of his shirt I smoothed out all the wrinkles and smiled.

"Come on", I turned, lacing my hand with his and led Tony to the couch.

Collapsing onto the couch, Tony pulled me down with him so I was sitting between him and Vic. I felt him wrap his arm around my shoulders as I glanced at the TV. MTV was playing The Real World re-runs and the boys seemed to be staring blankly at it.

Sitting up suddenly I remembered what I came downstairs for, "Does anyone want breakfast?"

"I thought you'd never ask", Jaime sighed.

"What does everyone want?" I asked.

"Something cooked and greasy and full of unhealthy stuff", mumbled Kellin, whose hands were pressed over his eyes.

"Well, there's one minor problem", I said, "I can't actually cook. At all."

Standing up Mike looked around at us, "Come on. We're going to the Diner."

Shrugging everyone stood up and began to walk to the front door.

"Wait!" I called, jumping from the couch I sprinted up the stairs.

Running into my room I pulled off my pyjama shorts and quickly wriggled into a pair of dark skinny jeans. Slipping on a grey and black crewneck sweater over my black tank top, I tied my hair up into a ponytail and shoved my phone into my pocket. Dashing down the stairs and out the door. Locking it behind me I jogged to the car everyone was milling around.

"So who wants to drive?" Vic asked looking around at us.

"Yeah I will", Kellin volunteered disappearing around the drivers side of the car.

Watching the rest of the boys pile into the car I suddenly realised a problem.

"Uh, guys?" I called into the car.

"Yeah?" Mike answered.

"You realise that there are six people and five seats right?" I said glancing into the car.

Kellin and Tony sat in the front two seats, with Jaime, Vic and Mike squeezing into the backseats.

"Oh", said Mike.

"I know where you can sit", Jaime winked at me patting his lap.

Rolling my eyes I sighed, I had no other way to get there. Crawling onto Jaime's lap I closed the door behind me.

"Well isn't this nice", he sighed and I smacked his leg, thanking God I was so small.

Locking the door I turned slightly so I was leaning against the window rather than Jaime. We took of down the road and to the Diner.

"So you and Tony", Jaime said casually as if his best friends girl friends sat on his lap everyday.

"What about me and Tony?" I asked, looking down at him.

"I'm right here", Tony turned in his seat smiling back at us, though I noticed that the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You guys getting serious?"

"I guess", I shrugged, looking up at Tony who nodded.

Leaning close to my ear Jaime whispered, "Do you love Tony?" Before pulling away.

Leaning close to Jaime's ear I whispered back, "I think I might."

He grinned at me, giving Tony a thumbs up and wink. I could feel colour flooding my cheeks and looked down at my lap. Pulling up at the Diner, Vic parked and I moved so Jaime could open the door. Climbing out he jabbed me in the side and I practically fell from the car. Sending Jaime a dark look as he stepped from the car I couldn't help but laugh. Walking around to the passenger side door I smiled up at Tony. He took my hand and we walked towards the Diner.

"Hey Tony?" I asked looking up at his hat clad head.

"Yeah?"

"Why were you sleeping on the floor this morning?" I asked curiously, we had fallen behind the rest of the boys who were all laughing and joking loudly.

He smiled sheepishly as blush coloured his cheeks, "Well you fell asleep while we were talking last night and I didn't know if you would feel, I don't know, uncomfortable or something if I slept in your bed so I just, you know, slept on the floor."

I smiled, Tony was the honestly sweetest person in the world. Stopping in the middle of the parking lot I pulled Tony towards me. Resting my hands on my chest I rocked onto my toes and kissed him gently. I felt him smile against my lips and squeeze my waist. Pulling away we finished the walk into the Diner, both of us grinning like fools.
