*Cassandra POV*

I wake up to an empty bed and faint whispers from the kitchen, one of the voices were Brooklyn's, I couldn't pinpoint who's else it was tho. Jack, Mikey and rye were still sleeping, so maybe Andy? It didn't sound like him at all, it sounded much older. Plus I can here the shower running, that's probably Andy in the bathroom. I just laid their and listened.
"Who is she?" The voice asked angrier then ever
"She's the girl Andy met on the plane" Brooklyn answered
"And why is she here?" The other voice asked still mad
"Listen, she has a lot going on in her life right now, and she had no place to stay, three guys tried to mug her last night, that's until rye Mikey and Andy saved her" Brooks explained
"That doesn't justify you sleeping with a girl you just met!?" The voice said infuriated
"What!? No Blair it's not like that!" Brook said
Blair... Blair.. Where did I... Then I remembered, Blair is their manager,  he's like a father to them, I understand why he's mad. He comes home to see Brooklyn and me laying in bed together I would have jumped to conclusions too if I was him.
"Then what is it like?" Blair said
"After last night I told her to take my bed so she could get a good night sleep, then I heard her crying later at night so I went up there to comfort her, she ended up falling asleep, I didn't want to wake her, by moving. I swear nothing happened Blair!" He said telling the truth
"Well... she can't stay here, if the media sees her, who knows what kind of ideas people will get!" Blair said a bit calmer about to walk out of the kitchen
"And where do you want her to go?" Brooklyn abruptly asked
"I don't know, and quite frankly I don't care, she just can't stay here, I'm going out, I'll be back later tonight, by the time I get back she better be gone" he said and he walked out the door
I pretend to still be sleeping when Brook comes back in the room. I hear him say something to himself.
"Ahh... Why do you do this to me..." Was he talking to me?! What is he talking about? Then I hear the shower turn off and the bathroom door open. Andy walked in the room.
"How'd it go with Blair?" He asked Brooks
"Not good, he wants her out before the end of tonight, what are we going to do Andy? We can't just kick her out, she's all alone..." He said I could tell he feels bad but why does he care if I'm al alone or not?
"We'll figure it out, worst comes to worse, she'll sleep on my bed tonight and Blair will never know" Andy said. They both care... What? Why?
"Guys, you know if Blair finds out about this he'll kill us right?" Rye said as he just wakes up
"Well were not letting her sleep in an ally way!" Mikey said
"Plus Blair is always mad who cares?" Jack added
"Um... Guys..." And I see Andy point to me. Now they know I'm awake. I flutter my eyes fully open and look at Brook.
"How much of that did you hear?" He asked me
"I'm just the girl Andy met on the plane?" I asked him
"Well that was just the easiest way to explain you to Blair." He said hoping I wouldn't get mad
"It's ok I get it, I'll find somewhere tonight, don't worry about me." I said sitting up
"No it's fi-"
"No it's not, stop saying that! Blair is in charge, he wants me out so I'll leave! End of decision" I said and I got up and garbed my bag.
"Casie wait!" Andy said stepping in front of me before I could walk out the door.
Cassie? No one calls me Cassie... Well other than Aly...
"Andy..." I tried to argue

*andy pov*

"Andy..." She argued
"No! If you or Blair thinks that were just gonna let a young girl walk out of here with no idea of where to go, you've lost your mind, we may just be stupid teenagers" he said gesturing to the boys "but we know what's right and what's wrong when we hear it! And this is totally wrong! If Blair doesn't like the fact that your here, he can talk to us, but we're not letting you leave!" Andy finished and I put my bag down in defeat. Then I sit on the couch.
"So... What's for breakfast?" Mikey asked acknowledging all of our hunger.
"I was thinking we could all go out for breakfast, maybe show cass around?" Rye said from his bunk
"Sounds perfect!" I said happy. We all got up and started getting ready. About a half an hour later, everyone was in the car and we were on our way to go and get food! We decided to go to the local diner. "Hi in table for fi- six" I said to the host at the door
"Right this way..." She said and we followed her to a corner booth with one chair at the end. we all scooted in and Brooks took the chair. Mikey was on one end, next to Jack, I was next to him, then rye, then Cassie. We all looked at the menu for about five minuets before our waiter came over.
"Hello, my name is Mathew, I'll be your waiter today, can I start you guys off with drinks?" He asked
"I'll have a cup of tea" Mikey said
"Me too" Jack added
"Me as well" I answered
"Same as them" rye said
"I'll have a coffee" Brooklyn said
"And you my lady?" The waiter asked looking to Cass
"Um... Just a coffee please" she answered
"Okay they will be right out" he said  while starring at Cass then walking away. We all ordered what we wanted and waited for our food to come out.
"So cass, do you have any hobbies Jack asked and everyone looked at me.
"Uh, just drawing I guess..." She say quietly
"Really? Are you any good?" Rye asked
"I mean I'm not too bad..." She answered
"You'll have to show us some time..." I told her
"No, there not much... You probably wouldn't even like them, there kinda boring" she tried to convince us not to
"There probably amazing" Brook said and he looked to her. The way he looked at her, his face lit up, I've never seen him like this before. Does little baby Brooks have a crush? Awe that's so cute! Not long after our food showed up. "Short stack with sausage?"
"Here" Mikey answered
"Short stack with bacon?"
"Me!" Rye answered
"Over easy egg, with bacon and a side of hash browns?"
"Mine" Jack and I said as the same time
"Chocolate chip waffle?"
"Me!" Brooklyn said
"And the Belgium waffle with strawberries, for the lovely lady..." The waiter said and I could see Brooks scowl at him... Someone's jealous
"Can I get you guys anything else?" Our waiter asked
"No I think we're good thank you" Cass answered
"If you need anything just let me know!" He said and he winked at Cass then walked away. Man did Brook look mad... He totally likes her... We all ate our breakfast. Man was it good! The waiter came over to give us the check, I grabbed it off the table, like I always do.
"Andy you paid last time!"
"Come on! My idea my treat!"
"Your not paying again!"
All the boys yelled numerous things about me paying for them, I just ignored them. There was a number written in pen at the bottom. With a note that said ' for the lovely lady' if Brook saw this he'd loose it! Right then someone snatched the check out of my hand. It was Cass! All of the boys yelled for her to stop! She grabbed it and ran to the front to pay. She came back and put the check on the table.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Yeah, let's go!" Rye and Mikey said
I saw Brooklyn look at the check, he saw the phone number....
