I looked at the window at the Rocky Mountians. I'll give Colorado this: it's pretty. I walked over to the back lounge and laid over Jack. "What is there to do on a day off in Colorado?" I asked, bored. On this day off we didn't have anything to do and the confines of the bus were slowly getting to the band.

"Well, we could play football in this parking lot and get drunk." Jack suggested hopefully.

"I dislike playing football. My hand is too small for the ball." I answered matter of factly.

"Thats a lie you just don't like loosing." Jack said playfully.

"NOT TRUE!" I rebutted even though it was true.

"TRUE" Jack yelled back.

"We are so not going to do this!" Rian said and we shut up ut not before I whispered 'not true.'

"I have an idea but none of you are going to like it." Zack said

"Try me." Alex said. "I'd do just about anything."

"Oh would you know?" I said and giggled. Zack ignored me and Alex winked.

"We could go for a hike in the rocky mountains. There is a trail not that far away." he said. A chorus of 'no's erupted from the bus. This band (all but zack) were extremely opposed to anything that involved exercise.

"I would go with you." I said "It actually sounds nice."

"Anyone else?" he asked as we got up.

"NO" everyone yelled.

"But I'll walk you out." Alex said. As we were walking out the the bus I opened the bus door to see John Oh about to knock.

"Hey there, what are you doing today? Wanna hang?" he asked me in that little accent of his, which was really cute.

"We were going hiking." Alex said and I gave him a questioning look. Two seconds ago he wasn't coming hiking with us.

"You're coming?" I asked

"Yeah." he said smiling as if that was the plan all along.

"Do you want to come, John?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'd love to."

I sat in the passenger seat while Zack drove. John and Alex sat in the back of the van we were borrowing to drive to the trail. I put my hand out the window and John stuck his head in between my head rest and the grey van wall.

"Whats up?" He asked and I laughed.

"Nothing much John-o how about you?"

"Me too." I laughed and John joked until we got to the trail. We filed out of the van and headed up the large mountain.

~*~Alex's POV~*~

Carlin and John were walking side by side and Zack and I were walking behind them. Carlin would stumble and then John would catch her. I would try and get in between them but John would find his way sneakly back to her side.

We got to a really hilly part and we were all out of breath, it wasn't hiking anymore, more like rock climbing. When Carlin couldn't get up on a tall rock John would put his hands on her hips to help her up and I would scowl. Every time, and every time she smiled back and helped him up. He told her something funny and she laughed.

"ohhh, that's not good." Zack said and we started to walk closer.

"Top ten celebrities you would sleep with. Boys and girls" John asked Carlin.

"Easy, David Boredez, Emma Stone, Mila Kunis, Chris Pine, Channing Tatum, Bo Burnham, Daniel Tosh, Justin Timberlake"

"Who is David Boredez?" John asked her.

"Uhm he was Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Booth on the show Bones. Big fan of that muscly army type." she said and laughed. She was flirting back. What the fuck. I looked down at my arms, I was no Channing Tatum.

"That was too easy for you to list off those people." John said

"I'm a teenager, I am always horny." She said laughing after climbing another rock.

God damn.

~*~ Carlin's POV~*~

I plopped on the couch when we got back. "Damn that was tiering." I groaned. Zack laughed and went into the back lounge. Jack threw me a beer and Alex sat next to me.

"Give us a sec. Jack?" he asked and Jack left the room.

"Why were you flirting with John right in front of me?" Alex asked me.

"Excuse me?" I asked

"Well, him lifting you up my your waist, that cute little 20 questions game... what was all that."

"Me being nice. He's a friend Alex. No need to be jealous." I said

"Than why don't you tell him. About us?" Alex asked annoyed.

"Because we aren't going to tell everybody, I've known him for a few days, I told Raquel not too long ago and she is my best friend." I said feeling annoyed as well.

"I think you just have a problem telling people about us. Why do I have to be your secret, you aren't mine." he said standing up.

"Alex, I love YOU! Isn't that enough for you?" I asked

"Maybe not." he said and walked out of the bus. sat back down and put my head in my hands.
