Sienna
-------
Sienna woke to someone moving their arms. Matt Nicholls' body was lying on top of Oli's legs and Olivia was halfway off the side of the bed. Sienna was wedged in between Hannah and Oliver, her face pressing into his chest and Hannah's arms wrapped around her waist. The trio was still dressed in their homemade shirts. Sienna groaned softly and pulled away from Oliver, just realizing how much he smelled like cologne. Hannah's hands retracted a little as Sienna successfully crawled off the bed and stood in the suite room, eyeing the four on the bed. Hannah frowned in her sleep and mumbled softly and Oliver subconsciously wrapped his arms around her and drew her in closer, immediately taking Sienna's spot.
Sienna smiled.
She quietly maneuvered around the dark room and carefully turned the knob of the bedroom of the suite.
She almost yelped when the body fell back into her legs, not far from knocking her to the ground. She peered frantically at the still passed out body and discovered it was Dan Flint. His head flopped a little as she stepped away from his body, letting his head hit to the floor with a soft thud. She thought she had heard him groan in pain, but when she turned back around, she saw that he was still snoring away, Melissa not too far away from him.
Sienna smirked and eyed the suite with confusion. All of the men had their partner either hooked under their arms, or a little away from them. Sienna saw that the second suite didn't even have anyone in it, and the second bed of the suite was occupied by Matt Barnes, Larken, and Ty. Josh was pushed to the floor in the middle of the night. Her father and Alex were on the small sofa, Alex pressed against the back of the sofa and Austin's back to the edge of it. Alan and Maddie were on the floor, Maddie's head on his chest. Tino was spooning Phil while Jen and Anouk were on the floor a little bit away from them, cuddling themselves. Vegan and Mia were in the kitchenette, Mia still sleeping in a chair, but Vegan awake and making some coffee. Chris was also awake with Leigthy, silently sipping some water. Ivy was positioned on the counter, curled up as Vegan worked around her in making coffee and cleaning dishes. She didn't even budge. Max was no where to be found, but no one was worried. Lee and Brittany were spooning on the floor, Jordan and Emma were slowly waking up, shuffling to the kitchen. Finally, Aaron and Amanda were gone, actually, but with a note explaining that they went out for a breakfast.
Sienna stepped into the kitchenette and Vegan sent her a smile. "Hello, Birdy. You sleep well?"
Sienna was about to reply, but Ivy's hand snapped up from her balled up figure and pressed her fingers to Vegan's lips, groaning.
"Shhh." She mumbled. "Not everyone's awake." She sat up and rubbed at her eyes, withdrawing her hand from Matt's mouth. "Where's Max?"
"I don't know." Jordan sighed, rubbing his temples. "Last I saw, he was in the kitchen."
"Where's the Advil?" Emma groaned, squinting into the lighted area. Sienna smiled at the adults waking up with their headaches. It made her laugh at how babyish they all seemed because of their hangovers, and Sienna couldn't help but tease in her head: Serves you right for drinking so much!
"I'm gonna call Noah." Sienna announced quietly, making sure at least one of the hungover adults heard her.
"Alright." Vegan nodded slowly, handing Emma the bottle of painkillers. "Grab the key from the bowl over there to let yourself back in."
Sienna followed his instructions and let herself out of the room, giggling when she spied Max lying facedown on the ground at the front of the door, passed out drunk. She poked her head back into the suite and nodded for Jordan's attention. "I found Max." She said quietly. Jordan chuckled and Vegan assisted him in walking out of the suite to carry Max back in and place him on the floor before leaving Sienna some privacy to talk to Noah.
She dialed his number, waiting for him to pick up. When he finally did, guilt washed over her when he sniffed loudly, smothered in sleep.
"Hullo?"
"Hi, babe." Sienna said softly, wringing her hands slightly as she used her shoulder to press her phone to her ear. "Did I wake you up?"
"Ah...no, you didn't wake me," Noah lied innocently, "I've been up for hours...who is it?" (Do you guys know the reference this is from? You better!)
"It's Sienna." Sienna snickered, running her hand through her hair. "Do you want me to call you back, sweetie?"
"Huh? Oh, hey, babe...nah. You-you don't have to-have to do that." Noah grunted, obviously still half asleep. "How are you?"
"Noah, baby, call me back, okay?" Sienna laughed, wrinkling her nose. Noah cleared his throat again and laughed weakly.
"Alright, alright. I'll call you when I'm awake."
"Okay. Bye Noah." Sienna called.
"Bye, cutie." Noah cooed and Sienna blushed, hanging up. She bit her lip and eyed her phone, drawing her knees up to her chest. Then she jumped when her phone buzzed, shocking her out of this weird state of happiness.
"Hello?" She asked, curious at why Shay would call her.
"Hey!" his excited voice caused her to laugh, rolling her eyes at his enthusiasm. Although Sienna was tired, she couldn't help but feel uplifted when she heard his familiar voice. "So, you never told me about what happened with Noah."
Sienna felt her stomach twist a little at her boyfriend's name and she giggled. "Noah's fine. He's gonna be living with his brother now. For the rest of his life."
Shay cheered, leaving Sienna to laugh, shaking her head slightly. "Yes! I knew it!" Shay squealed, sounding a little breathless. "That's great kiddo!"
"Yeah!" Sienna replied, feeling herself beam proudly. "I uh, I miss being able to see you."
"I miss seeing you too, kiddo." Shay replied, sounding a little put out. "But hey, we can always talk on the phone, or via Skype. Maybe one day, your father and I will actually get along for real. Then I'd get to see you whenever I'd damn want to."
Sienna grinned. "I'd like that, Sh-" The suite's door opened and Austin walked out, his eyes instantly landing on her as she peered back, her whole willpower trying to desperately hide her nervousness, "Sh-shit-face!" She babbled, her sentence coming out like one would spit out water.
"Hey," Shay sounded a little confused, but he lightheartedly pretended to be offended, name calling isn't nice, Sienna."
"Hi, Austin." She said, emphasizing her father's name for Shay's sake.
"Oh, I get it." Shayley laughed, blowing air into the phone. "I'll call you later, 'shit-face'."
"Whatever." Sienna mumbled. "Bye."
"Bye." Shay hung up the phone and Sienna immediately shoved her phone into her pocket, smiling innocently up at Austin.
"Hi." She said, licking her dry lips. Austin gave her a curious look.
"Who were you calling 'Shit-Face'?" He laughed, crossing his arms over his chest, leaning against the wall.
"No one," Sienna responded cooly, standing up, "how's your hangover headache?"
"Actually, to be honest, not that bad." Austin snickered. "How was your night last night?"
"Actually, to be honest, not that bad." She mocked, thankful that her father didn't press the question about who she was tailing to on the phone earlier. She was thankful for that.

Austin

"C'mon! Of Mice vs. At Six!" Max whined. "Please? Only Nicholls wants to play from Bring Me, so Sienna can play!"
"Last time I let Sienna play with you, you kicked the soccer ball at her and smashed her ribs." Austin replied, rolling his eyes. "And I don't even know if the guys want to leave their girls for a game of soccer."
"I kicked the football at her, and the girls are playing football." Dan corrected. "You Americans are so ridiculous. You don't even use your feet in American-football, unless you're the punter lad."
"Fuck you," Phil grinned, "American-football is love, American-football is life."
Josh pouted. "Please? Will you please play with us?"
Austin rolled his eyes and sighed loudly. "Fine, fine. I'll play."
"Me too!" Alexandria cheered, waving her hand and winking. "And, Dan, I agree. The title of American-football is misleading."
"Yes!" Dan gasped, and the two immediately conversed about how stupid the American terms were. Austin shook his head, letting his eyes flutter shut for a brief moment.
"I'll play." Anouk smiled, and Jen nodded, chiming in with a: 'Me too!'.
"We all want to play." Aaron bit the inside of his cheek. "But if any of you Red-Coats call it football, then we won't play. You must call it soccer."
Josh made a face and Chris looked like he was going to throw up.
"Fine." Matt Barnes smirked. "Hear that, Larken? Don't call it football."
"You're the one who's gonna fuck it up!" Larken accused, pointing at him.
When Sienna walked into the room, Josh immediately side tackled her to the ground, making her squeal. Austin worriedly looked over at Sienna, but laughed when she was pinned to the floor with Josh sitting on her back. "You're playing f-fucking hell-soccer with us," he used his fingers to make air quotes when he said the word 'soccer', "and you can't say no!"
"Fine." She wheezed. "Now get off me, stupid english muffin."
"Woman, I am a croissant!" Josh corrected her, but got off her nonetheless. Austin felt like he was going to say something, but when Mia said something about putting money on Josh's team, Austin was lost in the idea of a competition.
"Divvy up the teams!" Jordan said, clapping his hands twice. Chris smirked.
"Josh, Ty, Chris, Leigthy, Matt Barnes, Larken, Max, Ivy, Dan, 'Lissa, and Sienna," Chris said devilishly, "versus the rest of you lot."
"Wait, how come you guys get my daughter!" Austin whined, his lips forming a pout.
"Because unlike you," Max gestured to Austin and the others, "Sienna's actually good at foot-soccer." Sienna laughed and gave Austin a wink, leaving him to sigh, rolling his eyes.
"Fine, fine." Austin said, throwing up his hands. "Let's play soccer, then. A game to five. We get Nicholls."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After Sienna had scored twice by kicking the ball past Aaron and Josh scored once, leaving Ivy to score one more, Dan saved the ball about eight-thousand times, not letting a single ball get past hi. An exhausted Austin finally shuffled down the little community field with the ball bouncing at his feet. He concentrated on not tripping over his own feet and tangling his long, thin legs. Ty attempted to kick the ball from his running path, but she was too slow. Lee and Brittany were holding hands and sitting on the sidelines, watching the game, next to them was the rest of BMTH. Olivia was Matt was putting money along with Jordan's on Josh's team, much to Matt Nicholls' betrayal. They were betting against, of course, spitfire Alan, who thought they would beat You Me. Stupid.
Austin approached the goal where Dan stood, poised and ready to save the ball from spiraling into the net. He almost made it too, but Larken slipped her foot in between his Converse and snapped it back with a cool soccer skill. The ball arched over her head behind her and flew at Austin, nearly hitting him in the forehead.
"Fucking sick rainbow!" Oliver called from the sidelines. Austin felt that epiphany hit him as he remembered the trick she pulled off was, in fact, known as a rainbow.
Max squealed excitedly and dodged the others to kick the ball back towards a weary looking Aaron. Austin could already see it. Alan would be forty bucks short, making Jordan and Olivia forty dollars richer.
Chris got the ball kicked to him and he passed it off to Josh, who immediately went in for the kill, slamming the inside of his foot against the soccer ball, sending it soaring into Aaron. Austin closed his eyes, groaning and thinking it was over, but strange squeak from Matt Kean forced him to open his eyes. Aaron had miraculously saved the ball-but Sienna had already gotten to the rebound and with quick precision, the ball slapped against the netting, leaving Josh to cheer in an obnoxious fashion, grabbing Sienna around the waist and flinging her on his shoulders parading about.
"Yeah! Birdy!" Josh shouted. The rest of his team laughed, joining the crowd. Sienna smiled and waved mockingly at Austin. Austin only shook his head, grinning.
His daughter was extremely good at soccer. It was a pleasant surprise. Anouk and Alex were both panting heavily, but Maddie was making fun of Alan who was immediately approached by Olivia and Jordan, teasing him about the money he owed them. Austin smirked, his eyes rolling slightly. Alex slipped under his arm and he grinned, kissing her forehead.
"God, I don't know why we even tried." Alex murmured, wiping her nose with her knuckle. "They're obviously better-"
"AND IT'S CALLED FOOTBALL!" Max shouted, and Austin jumped, his head snapping around to stare at the shorter man. "AND DON'T YOU SILLY AMERICANS FORGET IT!" Austin blinked as Max cackled, sweeping Ivy up into his arms, smacking a kiss to her cheek. "God! Let's buy a cake and eat it! We could get it designed as a football, because they're round, not shaped like a lemon."
Austin couldn't help the smirk on his lips, but it was fine, because Max never saw it. He was too busy screaming about the confusing structure about the American language causing parents at the community field to stare, pulling their kids away a little faster, and oddly enough, Austin was fine with it. He was more than fine with it.
He was happy about it.
