"Hello welcome to the Winchester Café."

I looked up at the new customers that I haven't seen before, when he looked up my eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "Hi can we get a grande Mocha frappe with whip?" I was stunned as I stared into his blue eyes, "Um..are you okay?" He chuckled slightly as he looked at his best friend, "Are you a fan?" The blonde one asked, finally I realized what was happening and gained as much composure as possible.

"I'm so sorry about that, um yes I am actually...you wanted a Grande Mocha frappe with whip! That'll be $4.67." My face was beat red, I can't believe I was staring the idols that brought me to this city in the first place. "Y/n after that order you can go on break." He handed me a $5 bill and went, "Keep the change as a tip, you know we have some time if you want to hang for a moment while we wait."

My heart was beating a million miles a minute, "I would love that." It came out more excited than I meant for it to making the both of them laugh, Sam and Colby were standing in front of me and I made them laugh! "I'll be out in one second." They nodded and went to a table, I ran to the back grabbing my phone from my locker as I clocked out and hung my apron. In minutes I was back in the lobby and I walked to their table, I was beyond nervous but I wanted to make the best of this.

"Hey, it's Y/n right?" I nodded as I took a seat at their table, "Is it okay if I sit? I should have ask first-" Colby placed his hand in front of me, his rings clinging against the table, "It's okay no worries, we'd love for you to join us." Sam smiled at me as I nodded at Colby, "There's just so much I want to tell you guys but I have no idea how to and I don't want to annoy you with it all." I laughed at the end to try and cover how hard it was not to stutter.

"No no please go ahead, we have nothing planned today so we'd love to talk. We normally don't do this but hey I mean there's a first for everything right?" I smiled at Sam and looked at Colby, "Okay well, I've been a fan since the beginning. Your vines turned many bad days into good ones in high school. Um seeing how you guys lived in LA, I really didn't know what I wanted to do with my life so I convinced my best friend to move here with me, she's in college and I work here while I focus on being an author." Colby and Sam's eyes lit up, "Oh wow that's so cool, so wait you're here because of us?"

I nodded, "We actually officially moved in a few days ago, thats why I was so stunned to see you. I mean I knew it might be possible to see you around but I didn't expect it to be so soon." They nodded, "Thats actually really cool, I mean you are definitely brave for moving here from...where from?" Sam stopped realizing I never told him, "Florida, all the way from central Florida." Their eyes went wide, "Woah thats literally across country." I nodded and smiled, "Do you miss it yet?"

I shook my head quickly, "No, not at all. I mean we miss seeing our families and friends often but we hated the state." They nodded once again, "You know what, to celebrate, what's your instagram and number. Maybe you guys can hang out with us one day, I mean I can't promise anything because of the whole travel thing but who knows." I felt frozen as Colby took my phone from me and put his number in while taking mine and found me on instagram. "You have no idea how much this means to me. You guys made my whole year, I've always dreamed of being friends with you guys. Hell we made a YouTube account hoping to get your attention."

I laughed as I thought about it, I noticed they looked up at each other with smirks, "Wait are you Days and Nights?" This time my eyes widened, "How did you know? We're such a small account with random videos that make no sense?!" Colby leaned back laughing, "Dude we love your channel, we think you guys are hilarious!" Sam was laughing with Colby, "When you guys tried to bake the cake- thats my favorite video!"

My face flushed and I hid my head in my hands laughing, "Oh no, not that video! Kacey put the oven on the wrong degree and the cake burned so bad!" They both laughed and I realized my phone wasn't in front of me yet, "Do you want a picture?" I smile and nodded quickly, Colby opened my camera and we posed as he took a few photos. "This has been amazing, thank you guys so much. I'll definitely keep in touch, let me know what you guys would like to see on the channel and I'll run it by with Kacey." They nodded and Colby's drink was called, I grabbed it and handed it to him. "Have a good day guys."

I walked towards the back mentally screaming, I didn't realize until now that I was shaking. Call Kacey! I quickly dialed her number but remembered she was in class and hung up fast before sending her a message.

Me:
Bro you'll never guess who I just met! Sam and Colby just walked into the café I work at! They gave me their number and followed me on instagram! They said they would love to hang with us sometime! I CAN'T BREATHE!

Once I sent the text I realized my break was almost up already. I grabbed my apron putting it back on and clocking in a few minutes early putting my phone back in my locker. Today was gonna be a long day because I wanted to text them so bad.

It was now closing time, I decided to pull a double to help because we were short staffed today and I could use the money. By the time I got to my locker I had thousands of notifications.

I smiled and looked at the messages.

Unknown:
Hey it's Colby :)

KC:
BRO PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY WE ARE BLOWING UP RIGHT NOW, YOU M E T THEM????

KC:
DUDE THEY FOLLOWED ME ON INSTA TOO!

I laughed and put my phone in my pocket, I was lucky tomorrow me and KC were off and we could shoot a video. My manager locked the glass doors, "You sure you don't need a ride? It's dangerous this late." I smiled, "My house is around the corner it's okay, I'll walk." He gave me a soft smile and nodded as I started to walk.

I saw a group of people in front of me laughing and messing around, I hoped they wouldn't bother me and I could just walk by. I decided to text Colby back.

Me:
Hey :) just got off, we're gonna film a video tomorrow so if you want anything specific we'd love the ideas

The group was getting closer, their voices sounded slightly familiar to me but I brushed it off. Once they were about 10 feet away I heard his laugh, "Yo! Y/n is that you?!" I stopped walking when I head my name, I looked up to see Colby running up to me. "It's so late why are you out by yourself?" I couldn't help but smile as my heart pounded, "I pulled a double and my house is around the corner so I just walk. Why are you guys out so late?"

Sam was bring the group closer which I soon noticed to be Katrina and Stas, "Oh hey...Y/n right?" I nodded with a smile at Sam, "You guys look so pretty! Are you going out?" Katrina and Stas smiled, "Yeah Colby convinced us to go." I nodded at Stas not surprised at all, "Hey why don't you go with us!" I jumped slightly at Colby's  loud voice, the smell of the pre-party was evident on his breath, "I don't know, I haven't even made it home yet and I'd hate to leave Kacey alone any longer." Sam looked at Colby and smiled, "Invite her too, you said your house was around the corner so we can just wait for you."

My eyes widened, "Really? You guys would wait?" They all nodded, "Me and Kat can help you get ready too!" I smiled brightly as I started to lead them to our apartment, it didn't take us long to get there because like I said it was around the corner. As we all stepped into the elevator I spoke up, "So just a pre-warning the apartment is currently a mess, we have a few boxes around and little to no furniture." Colby smiled, "No worries, we've been there before." I nodded and played with my phone case, "It's also pretty small..." I couldn't help as my anxiety rose higher. Sam and Colby are about to be in my apartment! The elevator opened leading us to the hallway, I led them down to my door and unlocked it.

Immediately I heard Kacey, "Oh my god Y/n! Sam and Colby followed us! Dude that is literally our dream!" I tensed up with a red face as I heard Sam and Colby chuckle. As soon as she saw them walk in her eyes widened and she covered her mouth. I couldn't help but giggle, "Kacey...they invited us to go out with them. Kat and Stas want to help us get ready." Her jaw dropped, "A thousand times yes!" I smiled and closed the door, the boys sat on the couch as the girls walked to my room to help us get ready.
