it was about noon when the plane landed. laura had cars to pick them up from the airport and take them to her home, where the group would be staying for their trip. emersyn sat in the living room, scrolling through instagram when cameron entered, poking her head to grab her attention. "i'm gonna go pick up the cake, alright? meet everyone at the air-bnb?"

em locked her phone, thinking for a minute. the party would be held at a beach house, the outskirts of malibu. however, the drive there would be just over two hours. so, if cameron planned on leaving now, he'd have to take someone with him. "yeah, that's fine. ask alahna and nick to come with though."

cameron nodded, saluting as he turned into the kitchen. minutes later, the front door opened and closed, signaling that cameron and his chosen two were off. another minute passed and em stood, finding her way into the kitchen. what the fuck was with her and walking into the kitchen at just the wrong moment.

there stood matt with quinn's arms snaking around his waist. why did her life hate her? "we should get going, we have to be there early to set up."

nathan thoroughly agreed. after being stuck in the same kitchen with matt and quinn for all of five minutes, he needed out immediately. he hopped off the counter, grabbing the grocery bags next to him that were stocked with decorations and other party necessities. "let's do this."

matt slowly tugged the blonde off of him, reaching forward and grabbing ahold of the van keys. the triplets had a sponsorship with toyta and were gifted a free car to use while in LA.

so, the four and chris loaded themselves into the vehicle, matt in the drivers seat and quinn next to him. it took all ten minutes of being in the car for nathan to shoot a text to emersyn, requesting a game of 8ball.

so the two played back and forth, and to nate's dismay, em was actually a pro at it. it took her one turn to knock five of her balls out. nathan's mouth fell agape, watching her eye her phone and very carefully shoot. "emmy! holy shit."

emersyn giggled, locking her phone. "i've been practicing 8ball for a very long time." she bragged.

matt kept his eyes on the road in front of him, shooting up at the rear view mirror every now and then. he hated the way his stomach twisted while watching the two. it was jealousy, he was growing jealous. and he hated himself for it. in fact, matthew hated himself for many things recently. he hated himself for falling in love with emersyn way back in fifth grade, and he hated himself for making her hate him. he hated the world.

he watched the sights out his window, the greenery of trees quickly bypassing to be replaced with blue skies and sandy shorelines. quinn tugged on matt's sleeve, causing the car to swerve just a little. "matty! park the car, i wanna go take pictures under that rock!"

she pointed about fifty feet away at a relatively big boulder sat to the left of the road. matt hid his grimaced with a smile and pulled the car up, stopping for the blonde.

em and nathan had been paying absolutley no attention to the front seats, so when the car stopped, they were obviously a bit surprised. em leaned up, her hand gripping the drivers seat head. "what happened?"

quinn turned around to face the other girl, her smile gone. "matty and i are gonna take instagram pictures." em frowned, slightly disgusted.

matt turned around too, tapping nathan's shoulder. "wake chris up." he instructed.
