Soon my eyes caught sight of a vending machine across the room and I was in the middle of an internal battle of whether to go buy a snack or just continue sitting here when I heard my name.

"Katie? Katie Caverly?" Three men entered my line of vision. Instantly I recognized the three as Aaron, Nick, and Zak. The three people who were supposed to have been here a little over an hour ago. My first response to their presence was to throw a bitch fit but as soon as I noticed Nick aiming a camera towards me I internally groaned. Crap. I couldn't very well throw a bitch fit on camera...Well I could but I doubt the producers or my mother would appreciate it very much. Though I detested being on the show, I wasn't about to make a complete ass of myself on camera. That wouldn't make a good first impression with the fans and I was a stickler for making a good first impression.

After a few seconds of silence I forced a tight smile. "Yeah, it's nice to finally meet you guys." Emphasis on the finally.

Zak turned sheepish as he reached for my suitcase, picking it up with ease. "Sorry we're late. Our van got a flat on the way here and-."

I stood up, withholding the urge to sigh. "It's fine." Though it was obvious from my tone it was anything but. "So which hotel are you...we...staying at for the moment?" I said for the moment because from what the producers had told me we were leaving tomorrow for a lockdown in Pennsylvania.

"We aren't staying in a hotel..." I stared at them blankly. No hotel? So what, we were sleeping on the street? Were they not making enough money from the show to afford a hotel?

Aaron piped up, "We actually live in Vegas. Well Nick doesn't but when we're here he usually stays at one of our places."

Nick chimed in, camera still pointing at me, "I live in New Hampshire." Oh that's right. Now I remember my mom telling me he lived in New Hampshire with his wife and daughter. She showed me a picture of his daughter once...cute kid.

I nodded slowly, still very confused. "So where exactly am I staying?"

"We figure it'd be easier, and cheaper, if you just stayed in a guest room at one of our places...it'd probably be mine because Nick is staying in the only guest room at Aaron's..." Zak trailed off awkwardly when he heard my muttered "of course". There was a pause as he shifted the suitcase from his right hand to his left and shared a look with his two friends. "Or you can stay at a hotel if you-"

I clenched my teeth as guilt suddenly washed over me. I was being a bitch. I forced another smile, hoping to god it resembled a real one. "No no no. Staying at your place is fine. I swear."

I must have been convincing because a relieved smile appeared on Zak's face. "Good! We'll all go to my place, which is about twenty minutes away, and talk about where to go from here. Billy should be there by now."

"Alright." He started walking towards the exit, Nick and Aaron behind him, and I sighed before following.

A/N: This is definitely just a filler chapter, hence why it's so short. Next chapter will be up within the next week or so and it will definitely be longer and more exciting.
