My hands flew to my mouth as I made eye contact with Christina, Gabbie, Liv and Tate. The four boys trailing behind with small bags in their hands. "Talia!" Christina said dropping her bag and running over to where I was. I stood up and screamed as she crashed into me, sending me crashing to the bus's floor.

"Ugh!" I groaned at the sudden feeling of more weight being thrown on top of my small frame. "I'm dying!"  I exclaim and the sound of people chuckling could be heard.

"Girls? It's nice to see you but could you get off of my girlfriend" Zach said/ asked.

"She's my grilfriend?!" Gabbie, Tate, Chris and Olivia yelled but I winced as Christina yelled that into my ear.

"GET OFF ME!" I exclaimed, wriggling underneath them, my chest heaved up and down as I tried to control my ragged breathing rate. "I won't be anyone's girlfriend if I die!". I sighed in relief as the weight that was once on me faded. "You're insane" grabbing onto Zach's outstretched hand.

"We missed you too" Gabbie sarcastically said as I watched her grab a sleeping Lav out of Jack's hold. "Now, I need to put this monkey to bed" She said walking away with Jack behind.

"I didn't miss you" I grumble under my breath, hoping no one heard what I said but to my dismay Christina did and tackled me to the ground. "BITCH!" I exclaimed.

"Yes Bitchee" She innocently said as I glared at her. Her mischievous light-brown orbs staring back into my dark brown ones. I gently pushed her off of me, causing her to lay beside me with a small frown on her face. "You're mean" She muttered and I grinned.

"Thank you" I enthusiastically responded as I pushed myself into a sitting position. My fingers ran through my hair as I sat criss-crossed on the ground. "Can we have lunch?" I asked, throwing my head back and giving Zach my irresistible puppy dog eyes.

He shook his head, "We can go and eat" he said with a slight chuckle and my eyes widened in excitement, "in a while, it's only noon" he said and my excited face faltered as a small pout formed on my lips.

"You can't just do that" I complained as he just shrugged and leaned further into the couch. I sighed and pulled myself off of the floor and sat beside him, grabbing my phone.

I turned on my phone to see, yet another message from that unknown number along with a missed call. I gulped and turned the phone back off. Looking up, I saw Olivia looking at me with a raised eyebrow. "Tal? Can we talk to you?" She asked and I gave her funny look.

"No, I'm good" I tell her leaning into Zach as he wrapped his arm around my waist. She glared at me.

"I'm not asking" She growled and my eyes widened. I jumped out of Zach's arm and followed the two as they walked towards the bunk areas as Jack walked by us.

"Where are you girls going?" He question halting.

"For a little girl talk" Olivia said pushing Jack out before he could respond. "Gabs!" Liv exclaimed.

"Shush! Any louder you'll wake her up" Gabbie hissed as her head poked out from the bunk above Zach's.

"Oh whoops" Liv whispered.

"Why are we here?" I grumbled, collapsing into Zach's somewhat made bunk.

"Right" Liv said looking at me, I gulped at her intense stare. "What was that message you got?" She questioned and I shook my head.

"It was nothing" I said straight away and she her eyes narrowed, arms crossed against chest.

"I'm not buying that" she said and I shrugged.
