It was the day before the "The Big Game" that Blake dragged us out to see. Stopping off at a station, which gave everyone the chance to stretch, eat, and use the bathroom or anything else that came to mind to do.

Sitting next to me was my friend Paige and across from me was Carly, my best friend. She continued to search for a place to stay when she went to New York as Paige and I helped.

"There's a place in Tribeca for three-thousand." Paige says suggestively. "That's too expensive. The money I saved up won't cover two months' rent. I'm gonna have to work every second I'm not in class until graduation" Carly states. "Well you could always have us live with you to help pay rent like I suggested. You know, Paige would love the shopping experience." I tell her. "Yeah, but that's what I'm afraid of, Alex." Carly jokes. I put my hand over my heart, acting hurt by the comment.

"Well, don't even think about not going." Paige says in a controlling tone as if she were a parent. "I'm not" Carly tells her. "Good. Because you know how proud I am of you." Paige encourages. "It's just an internship." Carly reminds us as if it were nothing. "At InStyle magazine. Or would you rather stay at the Waffle House as a waitress forever?" Paige comments. "Or would you rather stay and be a mother of twelve kids and living in a trailer." I add. "No, thank you." Carly mutters. "Yeah…" Paige says quietly, making the point.

Suddenly I feel a breeze pass by me as Wade, Carly's boyfriend, my friend, sits down at the table. "Hey, babe." He says to Carly. I lightly kick him after Carly greets him back. He looks at me and I give me an evil look "Hey, Alex." He greets. I grin at him in response and he just turns back to Carly "Sorry, there were these two drunk rednecks wrestling in the bathroom." Wade explains. "Really?" Carly says, trying to act interested. "There's no rednecks in New York." Paige remarks. "No, there's not." Wade says clearing his throat. An awkward silence creeps into the conversation as the tension builds up.

Paige breaks the tension by claiming "I'm gonna go see what Blake's doing. He seems to like that car more than me nowadays." Carly shoots me a look and then I stand up "I'm going to check on Nick and Dalton." I then walk away and into the station's store.

I see Dalton and Nick looking around. "Hey guys." I greet, wrapping my arms around Nick's waist. "Hey Alex. What are you doing in here?" Dalton asks nervously. I raise an eyebrow "Sorry, didn't know it was against the rules to see my boyfriend." I hug Nick's waist tighter as Nick sips his drink "It's not, Dalton just doesn't want you hearing his secret plans to rape you and Carly." I roll my eyes and drop the subject "Come on let's go outside with Wade and Carly." I say letting go of Nick's waist and grabbing his hand.

Walking out of the store, I noticed a scruffy looking man seating on the floor against the wall, holding a cup containing very little or no money. "How you doing? Hello. What's up, crow man?" I hear Dalton say talking to the man. Nick kicks the cup out of the poor guy's hand and says "Get a job."

I punch his arm causing him to look at me "What the hell was that about?" I ask harshly. He just shrugs his shoulders and seats at the table across from Wade and Carly. I walk over after giving the man a sympathetic look and sitting in between Nick and Dalton.

Wade decides to break the silence "So, what do you think, guys? Gonna be a sweet game tomorrow, huh?" Nick sips his drink again and laughs fakely before saying "Yeah."

"Dalton, please don't film me." Carly whines. "What? I'm not filming now." Dalton says acting innocent. "The red light's on." Carly retorts. Nick reaches over me and pushes the camera down "Put the camera down. She doesn't like having people up in her face. She folds under pressure." Nick sneers. I glare, speechlessly at him as Carly harshly asks "You got something to say to me?" Nick lightly shakes his head "No, I think you've already spoken enough for the both of us, don't you?"

Tension rises once again, but Dalton interrupts "You guys are lame. I'm out of here. See ya." I then decide to pull Nick to the side leaving Wade and Carly alone.

"Whoa what's with all the attitude, Nick?" I ask getting up in his face. He raises his eyebrows "What is this new to you?" I give him a hard stare and poke him while saying "You need to straighten up, Nick. I mean you are so close to losing me Nick, it's not funny. First, you change your attitude, and then you go breaking the law and steal cars! What happened to you?" I ask walking away.

Before I can get far, Nick grabs me wrist and spins me around "Whoa, where do you think your going?" He asks playfully. "I didn't lose you, yet." He adds pulling me against him. I stare into his eyes as he leans close to my lips. "...And I don't plan on it." He finishes before kissing me.

I drape my arms around his neck as he holds my waist, pressing it against him. I feel his tongue slither into my mouth in a demanding manner. I place my hands on the sides of his face and bring his face closer to mine, deepening the kiss. Nick holds the back of my head bring it closer and getting better access to my mouth.

I hear a twig snap, so I open my eyes to see Dalton taping our make-out session. I push Nick away "Dalton, turn the damn camera off or it'll be tapping the inside of your ass." I threaten. Nick smiles at me before kissing my neck and Dalton walks away laughing. Nick pulls away from my neck, breathing a little more heavily than me. He brushes his lips with mine and just as we were about to kiss, Blake came over "Come on, we gotta go!" Nick and I groan, pulling away from each other and heading to the cars.

Before he got in Wade's car I turn him around "Behave, okay?" I ask. He smiles down at me "I'll try." With that he kisses me and then gets in the back seat. I shake my head walking to Blake's truck.

During the car ride I watch Paige stare at herself in the mirror. Realizing she needs lip palm she pulls it out of her purse. As she goes to press it to her lips, it slips out of her grasp and lands near Blake's feet. "Damn it, I can't reach it!" She says.

I lean in the front of the seats and reach down to get. "Blake move your foot it's on the lip balm." I complain. Blake moves his foot and I quickly grab the tube. As I rise up I see Wade's car pulled up next to ours with shocked faces from Wade, Carly, and Dalton, while Nick glared. "Oh my god, they are so immature." Paige claims.

I look at her confused. "They think we were giving Blake head. And BLAKE wasn't helping by making faces." Paige adds. I smack the back of his head as Paige calls to explain.

"You are so busted!" I hear Carly say through the phone. "Lip balm. I dropped my stupid lip balm." Paige says. I see them all laugh, not believing us "So what's up?" I hear Carly ask. Paige looks over and asks Blake "It's getting late. What do you wanna do?" Blake answers, still looking at the road "Keep going, we don't even have tickets."

Paige sighs loudly "There's gonna be a million scalpers there. If we keep driving, there's no way I'll stay up for the game."

"Why don't we just camp out? We're close enough." Carly explains. I nod while Paige says "Yeah, let's just pull over here. Come on. We'll wake up early." Blake glances at me and Paige before agreeing "Yeah, all right." I smile as Paige says to Carly "All right, we're pulling over." She then hangs up and relaxes in the chair, grabbing the lip balm out of my hand.

Awhile later, we still haven't stopped and I hear Paige groan "Where are we going, Blake?" Crossing a small bridge he says "I'm just looking for some privacy.

After fully going over the short bridge the cars park in a small clearing. I get out and stretch my legs, then walk over to set up everything, until I hear Carly call Paige and me away from the guys.

"Well?" Carly asks Paige. "I couldn't. There's no point in freaking him out right now." Paige argues. "As opposed to when you find out you are pregnant?" Carly retorts. "Carly, she's not sure, okay? Plus maybe she won't even keep it." I tell her. "Well at least have a conversation with him." Carly suggests. Paige turns to us and sighs "He's been looking forward to this game for months. I don't wanna ruin it by starting a fight."

"Paige, he's not gonna marry you. His parents won't let him." Carly remarks. "Who says I want to get married? Besides, I've been late before. When I know for sure, I promise to talk to him, okay? Let's go. There are ticks out here." Paige complains.

I follow them as they go to set up till my arm is grabbed onto harshly, pulling me back. I'm turned around to see Nick "Ow, Nick, your hurting me." I say. His grip loosens a bit "Alex, What was that back in Blake's truck?" He asks me. "Nick, I was just getting Paige's lip balm. Why on earth would I ever cheat on you? Actually, Why would on earth would you even suggest it?" I ask. He looks away from me, thinking of an answer.

I grab his chin and make him face me "I'd never cheat on you, okay? I love you." I tell him before pressing my lips to his. I break away quickly hearing "Yeah, don't help us or nothing. Just continue making out." Dalton complains.

I give Nick an 'I'm sorry' look before walking away and helping them set up. "Oh, Yeah!" I hear Blake yell as he brings out a football and throws it to Wade starting a small game of football.
