It's a new day. This rambled through my mind as I was laying in bed. Not knowing what might happen today exited me. It didn't scare me anymore. For once I didn't expect the worse. Something feels right today. I feel more confident. It must be the boys. Especially Andy. Andy..............
I decided to get up. Still in my pajamas I went upstairs. I stopped in my tracks. My aunt was sitting at the table with her head in her hands. Something was wrong. I walked to her side and knelt down.

"Barb?"

She looked up at me. Her face said it all.

"She's gone Meg, she's gone" She got up. I moved out of her way.

"Meg, you can go hang out with your friends today or whatever you want, if you've even made friends, your aunt just needs some time alone"

She simply walked upstairs to her room and closed the door. My stomach felt horrible. Death is not taken lightly.I never met her friend, but I know what it feels like. It hurts me to see my aunt like that.I need some cheering up myself. My aunt just needs to be left alone for now. there isn't much to say. I'm not good at comforting people. I hope the boys will cheer me up since the topic of death depresses me. Maybe the boys could give me some ideas of what to say to my aunt.
I hopped in the shower. Got dressed. Did my make up. The usual.I really wanted to see the boys. Really bad. I walked to Ashley's house.I knocked on the door. Ashley answered the door. He was only wearing boxers.

"Good morning Meg"

"Good morning Ash"

I came in the house. Andy was on the couch still sleeping.

"SHHH the baby is still sleeping" Ashley said

I giggled. I went and sat by Andy's head. I wanted to do something daring. No one was in the room. Ashley had gone up stairs. I assumed he went to at least put a shirt on. Sandra was nowhere to be found.I made my move. I stroked Andy's hair from his face and stroked his cheek with my hand. I looked around again. No one. Sweet no one saw. I'm such a freak. I looked at his lips. They were so perfect.

"Don't fart Meg"I heard Ashley say behind me

-.- only Ashley

I smacked him. He deserved it. I could hear someone open a door. Sandra came walking down the hallway. She was yawning. She was all dressed, So was Ashley after I took a second look at him.

"Hey Meg" Sandra said

"Hey, looking good"

"Like always"

Ashley gave me a look.

"You too Ash"

He smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

"Well, I'm bored, we should wake up Andy"

"Do it nicely Ash"

"But there's no fun in that!"

I got up from the couch. Ashley tipped the couch. Andy rolled off. He instantly scrambled up.

"Morning" Ashley said

"Who did that?"

Me and Sandra pointed at Ashley. He ran out the door. Andy followed.

"I'm gonna kick your ass!"

It's funny there seems to be alot of ass kicking with these two.

After a few minutes the boys came back in. Panting like crazy. Andy bent down to catch his breath. He waved at me.

"Hey Meg, how did you sleep?"

"I slept good, what about you?"

"I slept o.k., I kept waking up alot, then I finally fell asleep, then ASHLEY woke me up"

"HEY, I was bored and its almost eleven anyway" Ashley interrupted

We all decided we wanted to stick around the neighborhood today. We were hungry too so we raided Ashley's fridge. He had alot of food. So we got a big pot and put like seven packs of Raman noodles in it. MMMMM Ramen noodles and soda. While Sandra and I were cooking Andy got dressed. He helped us serve the Ramen into bowls since Sandra and I dropped a whole bunch on the floor. We all sat down at he table. Ashley ate his Ramen with Chopsticks. Showoff. Ashley's phone rang. He went outside. after a few minutes he came back in.

"Guys, bad news"

"What?" Andy asked

"No one can hang today so it's us four again. Well three Sandra is going to visit her OTHER friends today"

"Which by the way I have to leave now" Sandra said, We said good bye to her before she left.

"WELL, what do we do now?" Andy asked

"Truth or Dare?" Ashley suggested

"Dude, how old are we?"

"Your right, the mall?"

"Sure"

We got in Ashley's car and headed towards the mall. I made them stop at N' and out Burger since we don't have them in Colorado. Of course we stopped at Hot Topic in the mall. I was looking at Jewelry while the boys were signing autographs since they were "noticed". I swear I kept seeing Andy glance at me. I smiled at him. All of a sudden two guys were flirting with me in the store. I knew it would make Ashley jealous but I don't know about Andy, I didn't even know if he liked me yet still.

"So, your pretty cute, I haven't seen you around here"

"Oh, I just moved here from Colorado"

"I see, Do you snowboard?"

"Yup"

"That's cool"

"I haven't really been in a while"

"oh, well maybe we can hook up or something and hit the slopes"

Really?I just met you. AT THE MALL no doubt. I didn't even know this dudes name.

"Eh no, I don't even know you, and frankly asking someone out without even knowing their name is fairly stupid"

"All you could have said was no, jeez"

"No, because I have alot more respect for myself, and its common sense, you could be a rapist for all I know, it's pretty stupid to even think a girl would say yes to that."

He pushed me up against a shelf with T-shirts. It hurt a little. Me being me slapped him for pushing me like that. That only made it worse. He PUNCHED me in return. Both Ashley and Andy saw me get hit. They instantly ran over. Ashley punched the guy square in the face, he fell to the floor knocked out. Have you seen Ashley's muscles? he could knock someone out. Andy was by my side bending down trying to get me to unclamp my hands from my face. Once I did, I saw blood. My nose was bleeding. Andy picked me up and carried me to the family bathroom. He set me on the counter. He wetted paper towels and tried wiping my face. He held my head back to stop the bleeding.

"What happened?"

"He tried to get with me, I said no kinda harshly so he pushed me, so I slapped him, then he punched me"

"Well he is knocked out cold in a cop car right now"

"you guys came to rescue the damsel in distress"

"Haha Ash and I are your white Knights"

"thank you"

"Meg, you are welcome. No guy should treat any woman like that"

He put his forehead against mine. Looking into my eyes.

"You gonna be o.k.?"

"Yup, I'm much better now"

"Good" he grabbed my hand and led me back to Ashley's car.
The police were there so I had to answer questions and what not. I climbed in the back seat of the car after the police left. I really wanted to leave. We left. I started to fall asleep. I did eventually pass out in the back seat of the car. Deep sleep.
