Noel left shortly after he was sure Rose fell asleep, not wanting to be caught by the others. Choosing the couch he starts setting up his bed, before realising that he wasn't actually tired. Unable to be bothered going outside, he continues deciding to just scroll on his phone to pass the time. Before he knows it he's asleep and everyone else starts making their way to their own beds.

12:24 pm, Sunday.

The lighting bleeding through the blinds is what wakes up Rose. She groggily pats next to her seeing if the boy she fell asleep next to was still there, but he wasn't. Sitting up, she looks over to the nightstand stand and checks what time it is. Groaning at how long she slept she gets out of bed and stands up, stretching her entire body before reaching for her phone not bothering to check it. Upon opening her door she can hear the tv and voices, great she thinks even the people who are hungover are awake before you. She shuffles out and into the lounge room, curious to see who's awake. Kelsey is sitting on the couch with a tired looking Cody while Marcus sleeps soundly. She furrows her brows at the fact Noel isn't there. "Hey!" Cody greets his sister, seeing that she's finally awake. "Hey" she mumbles less enthusiastically, before Kelsey greets her too. Sitting down at the edge of the couch, she looks around the room one more time before slickly bringing up the question on her mind. "Where's everyone else?" she asks at the couple on the couch. "Devon and Sam are probably still asleep but Noel left early, said he had to edit." Rose nods, "oh." Trying to focus on whatever's on the TV she fails when she checks her phone, hoping there's an off chance that he texted her. A smile threatens to break out when she sees a text from him sent earlier this morning.

Rose locks her phone before he can reply, still feeling like shit from her late wake up call. "Can we get coffee" she asks no one in particular. Kelsey nods immediately at the word coffee, and Cody agrees too. Before standing up saying that he'll go check on the others to see if they want any. Kelsey looks over to a sleepy Rose, "how'd you sleep?" Rose looks over to her, "like an infant, how about you?" continuing the conversation. Kelsey frowns, "wish it was longer" before laughing. Rose brings up last night, asking what the hell happened and Kelsey explains describing to her what happened before Cody cuts her off, "hey do you guys wanna come with?" he yells down from the hallway. They give each other a look, Rose shrugging before standing up needing fresh air. Chatting on their way to Starbucks about random things Rose's phone dings, she thinks it's Noel before seeing that it's on of her group chat.
