Chapter 10

Lights woke up, disoriented at first. When she realized it was Hayley sleeping on her chest though, she smiled, moving her and sitting up carefully. She felt around her pockets for her phone to check the time.

"It's 3:30," Jeremy said, startling her. She hadn't realized he was sitting right there at the table. "Sleep well?" He smirked as Lights nodded, standing up.

"Yeah," She yawned. Hayley stirred beside her, grumbling something unintelligible.

"Hey, come back and be my pillow," She muttered, reaching up blindly and trying to pull her back down.

"Oh God," She laughed as Hayley squeezed her.

"You're very comfortable," Hayley mumbled.

"Heyyyy, you two," Max said, coming from the bunks, "We all have a good night?"

"Pretty good," Hayley said.

"Very good," Lights corrected her. Hayley finally let them sit up.

"Good, good. Hayley, can I talk to you?" He said as she grinned, nodding. They headed to the back room before anyone could protest or question them.

"So?" Max said immediately once Hayley had closed the door behind her.

"So?" Hayley repeated, baiting him. He sighed exasperatedly.

"So how was last night?! You guys fell asleep together? Tell me everything!" He said excitedly as Hayley laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Well.. It was good. We were dancing, right? And then this girl bumped into me and spilled her drink all over herself…" She told Max the events of the night.

"So she said she liked you?"

"Yup," Hayley said proudly.

"Damn. Are you ready for tonight?"

"I think so. It's kind of cheesy though don't you think?"

"Yeah but I think it'll work.. I mean, unless you have some other idea?"

"I do… But I'll tell you later if it works out," Hayley grinned as Max nodded. They headed back out to the front of the bus where Lights was hanging upside down off the couch, looking at her phone. Hayley smirked, poking her stomach where her shirt was sliding up.

"Hey!" She laughed, rolling onto the floor. Hayley stuck her tongue out at her.

"I'm gonna take a shower then head out," She announced, "Got some things to do, places to be."

"Can I come?" Lights asked, eyeing her curiously.

"Uh, nope, sorry. I've got scret errands to run," Hayley said, exchanging a quick look with Max. Lights frowned a little.

"Well okay," She shrugged, turning back to her phone. Hayley went to the tiny bathroom to clean up and get ready to go out. After getting dressed she said a quick 'bye' to everyone and hopped off the bus. She followed the directions on her phone she'd looked up earlier.

"I hope this works…" She muttered to herself, squinting against the sun.

An hour and a half later, Hayley was kicking her shoes off on the bus again. It seemed empty.

"Guys?" She called, heading toward the back. She stopped by the bunks, pushing a few curtains aside. She found Lights in her bunk, her back turned to her. She nudged her shoulder gently and Lights turned over, opening her eyes sleepily.

"Hm?"

"Where'd everyone go?"

"Max's bus," Lights yawned as Hayley nodded.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up.."

"No it's okay. I probably should get up anyway," She said, swinging her legs out of the bunk and standing up. "Finish your secret errands?"

"Oh, yeah, I did." Hayley stuttered as Lights raised an eyebrow.

"Well that's good.. Do you wanna do something?

"Like what?"

"Like.. Black Ops?" Lights suggested as Hayley laughed.

"Sure." She started to set up the game while Lights dragged out a blanket since she was cold. They started the game, an online match with Lights sniping and Hayley out on the field.

"Was that you? Did you just kill me?" Hayley exclaimed, respawning.

"Oh my god, did I? I didn't think friendly fire was on!"

"Shut up, you knew," Hayley countered, "It's a free-for-all!"

"Okay, so what if I did? What're you gonna do about it?" Lights asked, as Hayley gasped.

"You just did it again!" She exclaimed, "That's it, you're gonna get it. I'm out to seek my revenge," Hayley said, searching for Lights. Suddenly she died again, and she put her controller down, turning to Lights with a pout. Lights did the same, putting her controller down and smirking at Hayley.

"I forgot to warn you, I'm also pretty good with a knife," She grinned proudly as Hayley laughed.

"Well I guess I'll just have to seek my revenge some other way.." She trailed off as Lights raised an eyebrow. Hayley looked away shyly for a moment, before tackling Lights, catching her off guard. They rolled onto the floor, laughing and wrestling. Hayley finally pinned Lights and they were both breathing heavily.

"That was harder than I thought it would be," Hayley panted, looking down at Lights.

"What can I say? I put up a fight." Lights replied breathlessly. Hayley rested her forehead on Lights' as they breathed each other in. "Hayley," Lights said in a near whisper.

"Yes?"

"I want to kiss you."

Hayley smirked. "Go ahead." Lights strained against Hayley's hold on her, trying to lean up to kiss her. Hayley teased her, leaning back so she couldn't reach. Lights pouted, letting her head drop back to the hard floor.

"Oww," She grimaced as Hayley laughed at her.

"Hmm, do I need to kiss you better?"

"It might be the only way," Lights said, looking up at Hayley eagerly. She complied, leaning down closer to Lights once more. She kissed her forehead first, making Lights frustrated.

"Oh come on, fuck you," She laughed quietly as Hayley smirked.

"Well wouldn't you love to?" She planted a few kisses on her collarbone, moving up her neck, making Lights shiver. She kissed her cheek, then her nose, then her other cheek. She hovered above her, less than an inch of space between their faces. Lights' heart was racing again as she looked up at Hayley above her. For the first time, she noticed a nearly undetectable scar above her eyebrow and for a brief moment wondered how she got it. She leaned up a just little bit, and Hayley backed right up as she did. She frowned as Hayley giggled a little. She leaned back down, though, finally kissing her lips. Hayley let go of Lights' hands, instead softly caressing her cheek, the other hand at her waist. Lights' fingers danced over the hem at the bottom of Hayley's shirt, holding onto her hips. All of a sudden Hayley pulled away abruptly, scrambling away, sitting back up on the couch and picking up the playstation controller once again. Lights looked at her utterly confused, hoping to God that it wasn't the same sort of weird incident as last time.

"They're coming," Hayley said shortly, trying to catch her breath as the doorknob jiggled and sure enough, the boys marched inside. Lights looked incredulously at Hayley, who gave her a cheeky grin and an I told you so look. Lights smiled, shaking her head and looking away.

"Why's your hair all messed up?" Jeremy asked Hayley, who blushed despite her seemingly calm composure.

"Oh, uh, not sure," She shrugged, getting up to look in the mirror.

"And why are you on the floor?" Taylor laughed, holding out a hand to help Lights up.

"Long story.." She said as Hayley laughed from the bathroom. Jeremy shrugged as Max changed the subject.

"We go on in 20 minutes, so we're gonna go ahead and get in there," He said, moving to the door with Josh. Outside, Josh stopped.

"What's with those two? Are they..?" He trailed off as Max sighed.

"Yeah. Hayley's going to ask her out tonight, but she doesn't want anybody to know about them.. So you don't know anything, okay?" He explained as Josh grinned.

"Hey, you know me. I like secrets, 'cause they keep me in line." He said as Max hit him.

"Seriously though, it's a really big deal. Do you think anyone else has noticed?"

"No, I doubt it. It really just seems like girl stuff, ya know? Nobody pays them too much attention when they're close. Like, I was actually more joking when I asked. But I'm happy for 'em. I won't tell a soul," He said as they headed inside. Back on the bus, Paramore and Lights were all getting ready to go on. They headed out a little after Max and Josh had left, meeting them inside. You Me At Six played, then Lights, then it was just about time for Paramore.

"We're playing it!" Hayley insisted as Taylor shook his head.

"Why, Hayley? It's old and no one knows it and it's so last minute!"

"Because it's really important to me, okay? Please, guys.." She sighed as Jeremy shrugged.

"I'm fine with it," He said as Taylor groaned.

"Whatever. Fine. We'll play it." He huffed. Hayley looked away, hating the arguing. Taylor stalked away and Jeremy went back to his phone. Lights suddenly appeared at Hayley's side.

"Is everything alright?" She asked as Hayley took a deep breath.

"Yeah. It's fine," She smiled. Lights gave her hand a quick squeeze as Paramore was called to stage.

"Good luck," She said, letting her go. Hayley couldn't help but smile as the band headed out, jumping right into their first two songs: Interlude: Moving On, and For a Pessimist. They stopped as Hayley addressed the crowd, getting them even more riled up.

"Alright, I wanna hear you guys give it up for Lights. …. No, louder. … I want you to scream as loud as you did for us! ….. That's better. Now I just wanted to say that she's really amazing, and I'm so glad to have her here on this tour with us, it's really just been like a dream. Uh, this next song we added into our set just for tonight. It's pretty old, but if you know it, sing along with all your heart.. Alright, here we go.." She looked around nervously as the guys began to play.

"I don't mean to run,

But every time you come around I feel,

More alive, than ever

And I guess it's too much,

Maybe we're too young,

And I don't even know what's real,

But I know I've never wanted anything so bad,

I've never wanted anyone so bad," She sang, starting to lose herself in the song.

"If I let you love me,

Be the one adored,

Would you go all the way?

Be the one I'm looking for?" As they played, Hayley kept her eyes closed. They finished the song and the lights dimmed as she went to take a drink of water.

"Okay.. I hope you guys liked that sort of… throwback," She laughed, regaining confidence. They launched into the intro to Decode, Hayley quickly getting back into the swing of things. They flew through the rest of the set, and soon enough Zedd was joining them for the final song of the night. He sat down at a piano as Hayley talked to the crowd.

"Hey, give it for Zedd! He's such a cool guy he drove up here two hours from his own tour to meet up with us and be here for tonight. So I'm sure you all know what we're gonna play next, and I probably should've said this before Miz Biz, and before this guy came out," She pointed to Zedd, laughing, "'Cause he's not Paramore. But whatever. I'm a bit frazzled tonight, San Francisco, you're making me crazy! Nevertheless, just in case you don't know.. Just in case, San Francisco… We. Are. Paramooooore! … And this is Stay The Night… Not by Paramore… By him, Zedd." She pointed again as everyone laughed. Her eyes searched the crowd for Lights, finding her up front to the side. She crossed the stage to get closer to her, looking right at her as she starting singing.

"I know that we are upside down.
So hold your tongue and hear me out.
I know that we were made to break,
So what? I don't mind.
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds.
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes.
I know that we were made to break,
So what? I don't mind." While she was looking around the crowd her gaze always gravitated back to Lights. She held her stare as she sang the chorus.

"Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?" She laughed into the last line as Lights sang along, smiling up at Hayley. Throughout the remainder of the song, Hayley ended up looking at Lights at least two thirds of the time. As she walked offstage she searched for Max.

"There you are! Keep everyone on your bus for a while, okay?" She said as he nodded, familiar with the plan. Hayley ran away, desperate to get to the bus as quickly as possible. A couple security guys escorted her outside as she apologized to fans that were waiting. Tonight she just didn't have time. On the bus, she texted Lights.

"Come back to the bus in 15 mins?" She went to change while she waited anxiously for a reply. As she picked out a shirt her phone buzzed on the couch and she ran to see it.

"For sure," Lights had replied. Hayley smiled, going to the bathroom and washing her face off. She redid her makeup and went to sit in the back room, picking up an acoustic guitar. She fiddled with it anxiously as she waited. After what seemed like ages, she heard the front door open.

"Hayley?" Lights asked.

"In the back," She called back. Lights pushed open the door and smiled as she saw Hayley. Hayley strummed the guitar once, singing quietly.

"Are you gonna stay the night?" She grinned, putting the guitar down and patting the spot next to her on the couch. Lights sat down as Hayley fidgeted with a piece of thread she was pulling out of her shirt. "You were awesome tonight," She told Lights, "I mean, like every other night," She looked up at Lights.

"You were amazing too," Lights laughed, turning and pulling her legs up so she was sitting cross-legged. "Was that what you and Taylor were arguing about? Playing Adore?"

"Yeah. I hope he's not still pissed. But either way it was worth it. I wasn't sure if you knew it or not, it's so old…" She trailed off nervously, changing the subject, "I think most of the fans are gone," She said, getting up and looking out the window, "Come on, I'm taking you out," She said, pulling Lights up off the couch.

"What? Where?" She asked as Hayley smiled mischievously.

"Come on." They both grabbed hoodies, Hayley deliberately choosing her black H20 one, not wanting to be recognized and stopped too much while they were out. She took Lights ' hand as they left the bus. A couple fans still hung around, immediately trying to get pictures and signatures. Hayley and Lights signed whatever they wanted but politely refused pictures. They parted ways, Hayley and Lights holding hands once more.

"It's a gorgeous night," Hayley said. Lights couldn't help but notice she seemed off, maybe lacking her usual confidence. Instead, she seemed nervous, and Lights found it adorable.

"Not as gorgeous as youuu," She grinned as Hayley punched her arm. "Alright, that was bad."

"Yeah." Hayley agreed, pulling her closer and kissing her cheek. There was the Hayley she knew. They walked in silence for a few minutes before Lights' curiosity got the best of her.

"Pleaaase tell me where we're going?"

"No! It's a surprise! Besides, we're almost there anyway," Hayley told her, squeezing her hand. Hayley turned right, leading them down a narrow alley. As they went further it was nearly pitch black darkness, except for a few shafts of lights from the moon waning overhead.

"Hayley?" Lights asked quietly. She was walking close to her, quite frankly scared shitless.

"Don't worry," Hayley told her, rubbing her arm reassuringly. "Been down enough alleyways in my time…" She muttered under her breath. They were walking slower now, more cautiously. Hayley took out her phone, using it as a flashlight. Lights gasped as a couple rats scurried away.

"Shit Hayley! Where the hell are we going?! I feel like you're going to sacrifice me to some Satan worshipping cult!"

"No Satan. Just adventure. You'll see," Hayley smiled, squeezing her hand.

"Well I do like adventure," Lights laughed nervously.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Hayley asked, suddenly stopping in front of a door.

"...No, no I'm not..."

"Good." Hayley knocked a pattern on the door. A second passes and two knocks were heard in response. The door creaked open after a series of locks were opened.

"Hey!" The man said, pulling Hayley into a hug.

"Good to see you dude!" She laughed, stepping inside. She pulled Lights along with her.

"Jason, this is Lights. Lights, Jason."

"Nice to meet you," she smiled, shaking his hand.

"Well you know the way," Jason laughed, "But you know how the rest of security is. So I might as well make sure the coast is clear. Come on," he started down a dimly lit hallway.

"We're gonna stay ten paces behind him. Don't speak," Hayley said quietly to Lights. She gave her a concerned look but Hayley only smiled in response, giving her a quick kiss. "Let's go." They followed Jason down six different halls, Lights becoming more and more lost with each turn. They only had to hide from someone once, and soon enough they found themselves at a stairwell.

"And this is where my journey ends," Jason said dramatically, "Be careful, and good luck," He said, clapping Hayley on the back.

"You don't know how much I appreciate this," She grinned.

"Shall we go?" She asked Lights, taking her hand and leading her up the stairs. "Can't use the elevator, 'cause the night watch people would hear it. It's so quiet in here," Hayley explained.

"I don't mind," Lights replied as they climbed yet another set of stairs.

"So back in 2009 I met Jason out at a show here, and we totally hit it off. He's been sneaking me in here every year since, he's awesome. I love this place. You're the first person I've ever brought…"

"Seriously?"

"Yup."

"How come?"

"Well it's kind of illegal to be here," She laughed, "But more than that I've just never wanted to. Taylor and Jeremy, well they'd love it but they'd just joke around and I don't know. It's special to me. You'll see," She smiled as Lights blushed. "…I mean, I never even brought Chad here. It's kind of just been my place to think and stuff, ya know?"

"That's really cool.." Lights said, "…Why do I get to come then?"

"You're… Special. I trust you.. I like you."

"Well I like you too.. But what I don't like are these stairs. How many more flights?"

"13, if I've counted correctly."

"Jesus!"

"Yup. All the way to the top. It's worth it, I promise. You'll get there even if I have to carry you." Hayley said as Lights giggled.

"You're too good to me, Hayley," She laughed. Hayley pulled her in for a kiss.

"Think you can make it?"

"Hell yeah. I might need a few more kisses though.."

"That could be arranged."

"Good, because I don't know how long I can go without-" She kissed Hayley again, "This." Hayley smiled at her, running ahead.

"Come on we're almost to the top!" She called as Lights scrambled to catch up. Hayley had stopped at a closed door. "This is the 49th floor. Are you ready?" She asked as Lights nodded, loving how excited Hayley was. "Close your eyes." Lights did as she was told, hearing Hayley fumble with keys. She unlocked the door and led her inside. "Okay, you can look." Lights opened her eyes and softly gasped at what she saw.

"Hayley this is amazing…" The whole wall was a window overlooking the city. Everything looked tiny and fragile, twinkling brightly. The whole floor was empty except for a sofa and coffee table.

"Nobody works up here so it's basically just become a hangout. Jason showed me when I first met him and it still hasn't changed.." Hayley said, babbling nervously. They sat down on the couch and Hayley seemed more anxious than ever. Suddenly she had acquired a single red rose from somewhere, handing it to Lights shyly. "So, um, I've been thinking about things for a while, and truth is I like you so much, Lights. I think we're really good together and I just adore you… I'd really like to try things out, what I'm trying to ask here is… Would you be my girlfriend?" She finished, looking at Lights nervously. She had a huge grin on her face.

"Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes. I would love to be your girlfriend, Hayley," She said as Hayley look relieved. Lights tackled her with an excited hug, kissing her passionately. "This is amazing. You're too good for me," She laughed as Hayley kissed her cheek.

"Nothing is too good for you… Uh, I know we just climbed 49 flights of stairs but would you be up for a liiittle more adventure?"

"With you? Always." Lights smiled as Hayley took her hand, leading her across the room to another door. She pulled out her keys again, unlocking it and revealing a ladder.

"Would you like to go first or should I?" She asked as Lights shrugged.

"You can go," She said as Hayley started up the ladder, "Dat ass."

"Well I guess I should've seen that one coming," Hayley laughed. As they neared the top it became hotter and hotter due to the huge light at the top of the beacon. They got to the top, Hayley helping Lights up the last step. "Hold on, I can turn this off," Hayley said, stepping carefully to get to a control panel a few feet away. She switched off the blinding light, leaving Lights holding tightly to the railing waiting for her eyes to adjust.

"Where are you?" She asked Hayley, suddenly feeling a hand on her arm. "Oh!"

"Can you see yet?" Hayley asked as Lights shook her head no.

"Oops. No, I can't," She said, smiling as she felt Hayley hug her. All at once she became aware of the stars overhead, perfectly clear from behind the glass. "It's like we're in a lighthouse," She whispered in awe, looking down at Hayley. She could finally see again. Hayley looked up at her happily.

"Isn't it cool?" She asked as Lights nodded. They stayed there holding each other and looking at the sky for a while, before Hayley broke the silence. "We'd better turn it back on before someone realizes it's off," She said, motioning to the light. "You can start back down so you won't have to get blinded." She started towards the switch again as Lights started back down the ladder. They got back to the sofa, Hayley sitting down cross-legged, Lights following. They faced each other silently for a moment before dissolving into laughter.

"It's so late," Lights laughed, her head in Hayley's lap. Hayley agreed, brushing her hands through her girlfriend's hair.

"Hey. Guess what?" Hayley smiled.

"What?"

"If you were a president, you'd be Babe-raham Lincoln," She giggled as Lights laughed. It was made a million times funnier because of the fact it was nearly 2AM.

"Come here, you," Lights said, sitting up and holding Hayley's hips, pulling her closer. There was no hesitation on either side when they kissed. Hayley draped her arms around Light's neck and tangled her fingers back into her long hair she loved so much. Lights sucked on Hayley's neck, remembering how she'd given her a hickey, all too eager to return the gesture. Hayley leaned her head back, letting out a sigh that came out as more of a moan. Lights smiled, kissing her and stifling most of the little noises she made. Hayley spoke breathlessly between kisses.

"Do you think- Maybe we should- Get out of here?" She cupped Lights' face in her hands, pulling away for a response.

"I think- That would be good," Lights smiled, kissing Hayley once more before standing up. They held hands as they walked back to the stairwell, and the whole walk down. Once they got to the bottom, Jason was nowhere to be seen, so Hayley scratched something down on a scrap piece of paper she found at a table.

"Thanks again for everything. H x L" They headed back out the way they came, through the alley, but this time Lights wasn't afraid. They got back to the bus, and even though it was ridiculously late they suddenly weren't tired anymore. They'd hit the point where they were wide awake again, if only for a couple hours.

The couple clumsily reached the bus- clumsily because they were making out again by the time they got there. Hayley pinned the brunette against the side of the bus, kissing her passionately. It had started softly at first, but escalated quickly. The sexual tension that had been building up for months was almost unbearable. Hayley quickly established she was in control, and Lights readily obliged, left breathless from the sensation of Hayley's tongue inside her mouth. The kiss was becoming deeper and more fervent with each passing second. Hayley moved to Lights' neck, kissing her slowly, causing her to lean her head back against the bus, biting her lip to keep herself from making loud sounds.

"Inside…" Lights was finally able to mutter. Hayley nodded, fumbling with the door for a second before letting them inside. They stumbled inside, hesitating only to shed their sweatshirts before resuming. They were able to make it to the back room again. Lights swung the door closed behind them before Hayley pulled her over to the couch, straddling her as she sat down. The brunette's previous soft moans were becoming more restless and eager, especially when she felt Hayley's hands softly touching her thighs. Hayley ran her hands from her thighs up to her waist, going rather excruciatingly slowly. She slipped under her shirt, caressing the brunette's back, only to slide back down again, this time stopping at the top of her jeans. She waited a short moment before unbuttoning them and slipping them down to her ankles and off to the floor. She came back up, kissing Lights passionately. She traced Lights' torso through her shirt, causing it to rise up. The brunette raised her arms almost instinctively as Hayley pulled her shirt over her head and it joined her pants on the floor. Lights blushed a little, suddenly becoming a little shy. Hayley sensed the timidity, cupping her face in her hands and kissing her gently.

"You're beautiful," She whispered. Lights kissed her back. This time it was her turn for her hands to wander. She unbuttoned Hayley's shirt, sliding it off her shoulders, revealing her black bra. She was about to reach for the clasp when Hayley caught her hands and gently pulled her closer. "Close your eyes," She whispered. Lights did as she was told, smiling as Hayley guided her so she was nearly lying down on the couch, only propping herself up a little bit with her hands behind her. She let out a soft moan as Hayley leaned forward, kissing her collarbone. Lights reached to her back, struggling to unclasp her bra. Hayley did it for her, smiling as she added it to the growing pile of clothes on the floor. Her hands automatically were on the brunette's breasts as she kissed down from her collarbone, going excruciatingly slowly. The sensation of Hayley's mouth on her breasts was driving her crazy, her skin heating up more with each kiss.

"Oh god," Lights moaned as Hayley gently sucked on her right nipple. Her hands were tangled in Hayley's bright hair, pulling every once in a while when the sensation became unbearable. She trailed kisses down her stomach to her hips, her hot breath sending shivers all throughout Lights' body. The brunette parted her legs a little as Hayley kissed her inner thighs. She slipped a couple fingers into the edge of her panties, playing with the trim in a teasing manner.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked, looking up at Lights.

"Hayley, I wanted to do this since the first day we toured together," She breathed. Hayley smiled, finally pressing a kiss to Lights' lips, her tongue slowly darted across her folds in almost a teasing fashion. The brunette arched her back, moaning in response to Hayley. Hayley finally extended her tongue as far as possible inside, curling it a few times, before sliding out and letting her fingers take effect. She slipped her fingers deep inside of Lights and instantly placed pressure in just the right areas.

Lights' moans grew louder, her hips bucking gently in response to what Hayley was doing to her. Hayley moved back up and kissed her girlfriend fiercely as she continued to pleasure her.

"Hayley.. Oh god," Her breathing was ragged and irregular. Hayley leaned back just enough to get a good look at her. It was clear that Lights was closer than she had truly realized, causing her to smirk and push her fingers faster and deeper inside of her. She was a woman on a mission at this point.

Lights' hands roamed Hayley's bare back, grazing the skin with her nails before burying one hand into her hair and tugging on it. The other hand decided to rest itself in another place. Hayley's eyes widened slightly as she felt Lights' hand between her legs as well. She leaned her head back in ecstasy. They both reached their highs and rode out their orgasms until they were exhausted. Hayley collapsed beside Lights onto the mattress as they caught their breath. They laid in silence for a few minutes in utter bliss.

Lights turned on her side, twirling Hayley's hair around her finger.

"Mmm, what now?"

"Now… I think we need to put on clothes before the guys find us in a few hours," Hayley laughed, leaning forward to kiss Lights. She smiled.

"How did you do all this?" She brushed a stray hair from between Hayley's lips. "How did you get everyone off the bus and the rose and..?" She trailed off wondrously as Hayley grinned.

"Max. Max helped, he's the only one in on everything. That's what happened when I stayed over on his bus. We were talking about you, and what I should do…"

Lights blushed. "So Max is the only one who knows?"

"Yup."

"Then… can we t-" she was cut off by Hayley's phone quietly buzzing in her jeans, which were on the floor. Hayley scrambled to get the call before it went to voicemail. Lights watched her curiously.

"Hello?" She asked, not bothering to look at the caller ID. Suddenly all the color drained from her face. Lights frowned, wrapping a blanket around herself and moving over to her.

"Who is it? ... Hayley? Hayley!"
