Nick released his hands off of Nicole and she did the same. Both reacted as if they had been caught in a bad act. "Hey you guys." Nick gave a slant smile as he ran his hand through his hair, "How was the trip? Hope everything went well."

"Nice, ice breaker." Joe whispered into Nick's ear, Nick nudged him causing Joe to let out a rough cough. The six stood in the room speechless for a couple minutes till someone broke the silence, "So, Stella," Joe smiled, "and Macy want me to navigate you to your rooms?"

Stella was still in shock, but she directed her attention to Joe once he said her name, "That'd be nice." She smiled, "Want to come along?" She whispered to Macy. Macy nodded her head and attempted to get her mind off of what had just happened.

"Come along!" Joe demanded as Kevin took Macy's bags, and Joe with Stella's, "Yeah, Kev. give me the tough job." Macy and Stella both followed Joe and Kevin leaving Nick and Nicole alone in the room.

"Should I leave?" Nicole asked feeling a rush of embarrassment running through her nerves.

Nick sighed and ran his hands down his face, as if he were washing his face first thing in the morning to wake him up, "Yeah, I don't want you to think that I don't want you here, it's probably just best if I catch up with Macy and Stella." Nick reassured her, so that she didn't get the wrong impression on why he was rushing her out the front door. Deep down inside he felt like she knew why he wanted her to leave, she was just being modest about it and didn't want to confront the feeling. Nick walked Nicole to the door and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek goodbye.

"Call me later if you're not to tired." Nicole suggested as she left. Nick shut the door behind him and let out a sigh of exhaustion.

"Hey Nick," smiled a petite brunette standing before him, "you look stressed."

Nick lifted his head and to his complete surprise he gave a wide smile to the girl who was standing in front of him, "Ha, I guess that's one of the feelings I'm experiencing right now. Sorry, about that, I've been meaning to-"

"Don't worry about it." Macy interrupted, "I guess that's what happens when you just lose contact of someone." Macy said as she worked her way through the living room, and towards the deck, Nick following her, "I guess I should take partial credit for it." Macy smiled as she hit the back deck and felt the warm breeze hit her face, "Ohhh, L.A. how I've missed you so much." Nick laughed, "What?" She snapped, but then realized the meanness in her tone, "Sorry." She laughed along, "I guess it is silly talking to the air."

"Only you Macy." Nick smiled, "So, can I explain?"

Macy took a deep breath and faced Nick with a serious approach, "No, offense Nick. I'd love to hear about her, but I don't really want too. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you, believe me I am. I just came here to see my boys, no summer drama." Macy exhaled relieved that she let what was bottled up out, it took a lot for her to just express herself, but when it was Nick she had no problem expressing everything and anything, "It's none of my business anyway." She added.

Nick stood in shock, he didn't know what to say none the less how to respond. She was right, it really wasn't any of her business, and she didn't come for drama, so why would he want to be the one to start it? He didn't even like drama so why was he about to start it? "Macy, can I at least-"

"PAR-TAY PEOPLE!" a loud voice from inside yelled

"You've got to be kidding me." Nick said under his breath, frustrated.

"Well, hey you two." Said a cheerful Joe Lucas, "Tonight is the night we celebrate our reunion!"

"Oh, fun! What are we going to do?" Macy felt a rush of excitement flow through her, if there was one thing besides seeing Nick that she was excited about, it was Joe and his wild adventures, not just Joe, all three of the Lucas'.

"I really don't know." Joe responded, "Honest, I was hoping you had something in mind that you really wanted to do, but I guess that plan was a bust."

"Hm, typical I guess." Macy responded with a brief laugh, "Somethings missing. A person, a blonde person."

"Stella? She's in the room unpacking."

"No, DZ! How could I forget about DZ?" Macy shook her head and headed inside

"Hey, where are you going? We still don't know what we're doing!" Joe yelled.

"I need to unpack too!" Macy yelled back. It wasn't really like her to just leave on a random thought, but anything to get away from Nick right then and there, she would take the opportunity. She walked into the room were Stella was unpacking and looked around, "I like your room very cozy, very Stella Malone." Macy said as she made her self comfortable on the fury pink bed.

Stella smiled as she glanced at the room, "I know right? It's like they pre-designed this room, just so I could call it my own." Stella continued to unpack. Kevin and Joe had both decided that it was best that Macy and Stella get their own rooms. They kept in mind that the girls wouldn't want to be to far apart, so they had both rooms connected by a bathroom, so that way they'd be less than ten walks away from one another. "So, how was your talk with Nick?"

Macy laid on her back as she let out a long sigh, "Where to begin?"

"Well, lets start with what did you say to him?" Stella plotted her self next to Macy

"I told him that I wasn't interested in what happened and who he's with, I'm here to spend time with my friends, and have a drama free summer." Macy sat up, "Stupid?" She questioned as she looked towards Stella for a sign.

"No, not at all. You told him what was on your mind right? That's all that matters."

Macy couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned so much in bed that she at some point fell off. She threw her hands up as if she were surrendering to the bed, and let out a sigh of frustration. She sat on the floor for an hour or so thinking to herself, and replaying what had happened earlier that night. Macy finally came to the conclusion that she had to do something, she couldn't just sit around any longer. Macy grabbed her bath-rob and headed down stairs to the kitchen, hopefully they stocked the fridge, Macy thought to herself. Macy was the type of person that would either eat or run when she couldn't think straight. Considering that she didn't know the L.A. area to well, so she thought that eating her way through her problems would be better in this situation. She moved things around the fridge trying to figure out what would meet up with her appetites expectations, it was useless.

"Cereal?" A mysterious voice asked. Macy jumped and grabbed the first thing her hand could grasp onto in the fridge and pointed at the person standing behind her. "I surrender!" said a scared Nick Lucas, he took a glance at the object in her hand and laughed, "I'm not sure what a cucumber will do, but I'll let you take your shot." Macy looked at the cucumber in her hand and sighed. She put the cucumber back into the fridge in exchange for the milk. She placed the milk on the island in the middle of kitchen and waited for Nick to sit down beside her with the bowls and spoons, "Lucky Charms ok?" Macy nodded, Nick sat beside her and began to pour Lucky Charms into one bowl and began with the other, until he felt a hand preventing him to make any more sudden moves.

"Wait! I like my milk in the bowl then the cereal." Macy said as she uncapped the bottle of milk and poured it into her bowl, "Now continue." She demanded in a pleasant voice. Nick laughed as he poured the cereal into the bowl. "You always laugh at me, I'm not sure if that's a good thing." Macy said as she took a spoon full of cereal.

Nick shrugged, "I guess it's how you want to interpret it." He took a bite of his cereal, "I feel like I don't have enough marshmallows?"

Macy glanced at his bowl and then at hers, "You can have mine, I feel like I have to many." Nick nodded as he dipped his spoon into her bowl and gathered a bunch of marshmallows, and placed them in his bowl, "So, why are you awake? It's late, don't you have to wake up and get to the recording studio or something?"

Nick shrugged, "Yeah, but the song we're recording tomorrow already has a bunch of my vocals, I'm just in there to make sure Kevin and Joe's vocals get done."

"Understandable." Macy said as she finished up her bowl of cereal

"Why are you awake?" Nick asked as he finished up his remaining bits in his bowl.

Macy shrugged, "Couldn't sleep. Just one of those nights I guess." Macy stretched, she was honestly hoping to get the kitchen to herself, but that plan back fired. As far as she was concerned, at this point, was to get out of the kitchen. It was bad enough that she couldn't get the kitchen to herself, it seemed like talking to Nick now was just very awkward. They didn't seem to have anything to talk about, well they did but she tried to work around the topic of him and her. Macy gave out a fake yawn, "Well, that was a nice night snack, made me tired that's for sure." Macy acted, that was stupid I just ate a bowl of sugar and I'm tired? She hoped that Nick didn't notice.

"Want me to walk you to your room?" Nick offered

"No, I'll be fine. Thanks for the offer though." Macy smiled as she jumped off the stool that she had been sitting on.

"No," Nick announced as he grabbed her hand, "I want to, I guess I wasn't really offering, because honestly I'd walk you either way, regardless if you said no."

Macy looked down at the two hands holding and tugged her hand back, "Well, then I guess I don't have a choice."

Nick hurried to place the bowls into the sink and assisted Macy up to her room. He wasn't sure if he was suppose to hug her goodnight or shake her hand. The last thing he wanted to do was make Macy feel uncomfortable, not that forcing her to accept his offer to walk her to her room did any good. Nick felt the need to be close to Macy, if there was one thing that he missed, it was being by Macy's side knowing that he was there for her, he wanted to be able to at least show her that he was still there for her.
