'No. No! Baby No! Do Not Die on me Now!!!! We have like a half a mile left! No!!! Shouted Lily waking both me and Sam up from our thoughts, while the car slowly screeched to a halt. We all sat perfectly still for a few moments in silence waiting to see if the vehicle was going to blow up. When it didn't I let out a sort of short, manic laugh that sounded more like a bad hiccup than anything else, then in a moment of madness stepped out of the bus and stormed off to find the nearest bar.

'Aoife! where the fuck are you going?' Sam shouted from the window

'To see if there's anything in this fucking town you dragged me to!' I shouted back, rage seeping into my voice then stomped off.

Luckily for me there was a bar just on the outskirts of the town. It looked pretty simplistic from the outside. There wasn't even a name, just a picture of a black and silver flower spray painted on the door. It looked like an iris but I'm no manic flower lover, I wouldn't know. I reached for the door handle and pulled only to find that the door was locked, but I could see and hear people inside the bar, so I banged my fist on the door. While I stood waiting I was very aware of how cold it was and realised that I had left the bus in just a pair of faded ripped jeans and a thin band tee. After what seemed like forever a guy who looked about a year younger than me, about seventeen, came to the door and eyed me suspiciously.

"Umm hey. Sorry I was just wondering if I could use your phone please? Our car broke down just over there and my sisters and I are stranded"

I always called Lily and Sam my sisters to people I didn't know.

The guy didn't answer me, he just continued to scrutinise me and I decided there were only 3 other options, rant and rave until he got so scared/ bored shitless of me until he let me pass, kick him in the family jewels so that I could get past him or else flirt. I opted for the first and boy did I rant. I completely freaked out at the poor boy but he only seemed to become more amused as I went on, until we were both laughing at me. He laughed at me sort of mockingly but then let me pass. 'Strange guy' I thought, but hey, aren't they all?

I walked into the main room and went over to a stool at the bar and asked the guy behind it if he had a phone. He merely grunted and shook his head in reply. Great, so all my ranting and raving had been for fuck all. I realised the barman was staring at me as if it was the first time he had ever seen a girl before. I thought I was being terribly rude not ordering a drink so I ordered the only thing that ever warmed me up on a cold day. A scotch. The barman obliged while still barely taking his eyes off me and after getting my drink I turned to find a table away from the creepy staring barman, to realise the entire bar was staring at me. I was paralysed for a moment or two by the shock of having every eye on me, I was usually invisible to most people. When you have a best friend with waist length bubblegum pink hair people usually tend to look at her, and that was fine by me, but all these people were just staring at me. I decided the creepy eyes of the barman would be easier to deal with than the eyes of the twenty or so people staring at me now. The bar was dead silent as I sipped on my scotch. I could feel my cheeks burning up as they continued to stare. I felt like leaving, or shouting, or throwing my glass or something, but I didn't because at right that moment Sam and Lily walked down creating more noise than an entire high school. Again, they were stared at aswell, but that was normal. They came over and sat by me and ordered coffees tutting at my choice of beverage and then noticed the stares and then the silence continued.

Three deep, cold yet velvety and alarmingly inviting chuckles were heard from a dark corner. My head whipped round to said corner, surprised by the sudden sound in this eerie atmosphere. My eyes widened as I saw three of the most beautiful men I'd ever seen. They were so beautiful, my mind instantly went through every pick-up line I've ever heard, but that could have been the scotch thinking. Lily and Sam were oblivious as ever, to anything. They always are stupid fuckers, dragging me to the middle of the freaking ice age!

The youngest looking guy, who looked about 17, had a raven black hair with an emo hairstyle. His eyes as violet as primrose flowers, with a look of awe, lust and a shine of danger in them. I looked to see what he was looking at, not surprised at all to find that it was Lily. Rolling my eyes, I continued my inspection of him. His mouth was shaped like an 'o', his soft looking lips looking childish on his face. He had a jaw that would make the Statue of David green with envy, a slightly humpy nose his only flaw.

The man sitting in the middle was the others polar opposite. Hair pointing in all directions, with the colour of ruby red, made him look slightly vampiric. Dark emerald eyes that looked determined, and surprise surprise, could not stray way from Sam. His lips were full, matching the colour of his odd hair. High cheek bones and a straight nose, he looked like a model. A scary looking model, but still beautiful.

The third man made my breath catch in my throat. I never believed in glorious looking men, until now. It actually hurt to look at him. His blonde hair was short, straight and scruffy making him look like he just had wild sex. The dark brown streaks in his hair made him look more dangerous than the other two men, though I've never seen hair of all things do this before. His lips pulled into a smirk, showing his glistening teeth, all perfectly pearly. A cute button nose, strange for a man, but oddly fitting, with a slight touch of dark stubble that made him look scruffier. I named him Shaggy, partly because he looked scruffy and also because I surprised myself by wanting to shag him. He was slumped back into his chair, looking lazy and arrogant to the max. His eyes, silver, had a mischievous look at them.

It took me a moment to realise that he was looking at me. Me! I blushed furiously, quickly looking down. I wonder if he knew how long I'd been staring. 'Probably, the smirk on his stupid, wonderful face says all,' I thought to myself. Jerk. I quickly ordered a double scotch this time, and as fast as I could, re-averted my gaze to my shoes. Holy shit! When the fuck did I buy those!? As I quietly figured out when and where I had gotten my shoes, I was oblivious to the fact that Sam and Lily had transported their arses to said dark corner. When realisation had finally hit, Lily's giggle waking me from my history of the mysterious shoe, I realised that they had left me sitting at the bar like a spare and for the first time in my life, I was happy we were arguing! That is of course happy until I peaked around to see the third hot guy still looking at me. For a second time I quickly looked away from him only for him to say quite loudly;

"Hey, Blondie! Wanna join?"

I laughed, as I was ironically enough wearing a Blondie t-shirt,. Catching myself on in my school girl-ish behaviour, I sarcastically mumbled a short "no, thanks" and turned back round to face the bar man. I distinctly thought I heard Lily mutter something along the lines of "Huffy Bitch" in the distant background. I heard a soft, cocky chuckle and a chair screech along the concrete floor. I heard approaching footsteps, and with each one my damn cheeks became pinker and pinker. I knew exactly who it was. I could hear his smirk through the tone of his voice,

"Hello there, Blondie. Name's Chris. Wanna play?"
