"Are you gonna eat that?" Romeo glared at me as I waved my head 'no' for the remains of my waffles. "Your loss." He murmured, rapidly snatching the waffles off my plate.

Ashton sipped out of his 3rd coffee refill as he kept staring at me. "I think I've seen you somewhere before." He coughed as I anxiously looked at him. "You know Cadence?"

I tiredly nodded. "I'm friend's with his boyfriend, Sascha."

"Oh right, you were at the library!" Ashton smirked. "Small world ain't it so?" He half-laughed.

Our attentions quickly turned towards a familiar woman with her usually bright sun dresses. "Hey folks, how's everything doing so far?" She cheered.

"I want more waffles." Romeo grimly croaked.

"Some more coffee, thanks." Ashton smirked.

"Just water, please." I blurted out.

"Alrighty then, y'all sit tight!" She cheered. "I'll be back in a jiffy!" She proceeded to walk away, her bright yellow sundress beautifully flourishing underneath the diner's glittering neon lights.

I glanced out the window to see how Jesse was doing but it was genuinely too dark to even see anything outside. "You're crazy, I'm not gonna let you do it in here!" Ashton anxiously laughed. "Romeo stop." He shuffled as Romeo tried to get something from him.

"Just fucking give it, I'm gonna go outside!" Romeo sharply spoke through his mouth as I was too tired to even have a reaction.

Ashton deeply sighed. "Here." He gave whatever the thing was underneath the table. "Have fun using it without a lighter." Ashton chuckled, Romeo making his head fall back in annoyance.

"You're not funny." Romeo sharply spoke again, his hand rapidly snatching it off of Ashton's. "Get up." He deeply demanded.

Ashton sighed again as he slid up off the booth so Romeo can go outside and smoke. I watched Romeo walk out and leave without looking back, the waffles being brought to our table by the lady.

"Thanks." Ashton nodded at the lady, his blue green eyes then meeting mine. "He isn't here to eat it, so shall we?" He smirked, grabbing his fork.

"M-might as well, I guess." I shrugged, my voice audibly dry.

Both of us began eating from the plate, my eyes glancing at him as we began to speak. "So how do you and Romeo know each other? Because I know he wouldn't just scream at you lads just because he was drunk off his mind back there."

I took a moment to speak. "It's complicated. I-I honestly don't even know why he was so angry at us." I bit. "Thank you, though."

"For what?" He chewed, a strand of black hair perfectly falling onto the side of his face.

"For driving us back, it means a lot." I sniffed.

"Of course mate." Ashton winked. "Cheers." Taking a sip off his coffee.
