America's Suitehearts

**CC’s POV**
I would be lying if I said that this wasn’t one of the best kisses I’ve had in a while. I had one hand on the side of her face holding her bangs out of the way and holy fucking shit her hair was ridiculously soft, like it felt as if her hair were made of bunnies. She also had on a lip gloss or something that made her taste like a dessert and my sweet-tooth had an immense appreciation for this. She had one arm wrapped around to my back and she had glided her other hand down to my chest which sent an electric current up my spine. Hooolllyyyyy shit! Yes! I slid my other hand from her hip down to her thigh and I heard Ash whooping at us. Shut up, dude, I didn’t even use your stupid advice! Instead of telling me how to make her feel comfortable with me like I asked, he basically told me to fill her up with booze and run as many bases as I could until I hit a homerun. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not opposed to the idea of taking her back to my hotel room tonight, but I would prefer it if she were actually sober enough to enjoy the experience and remember it when she woke up in the morning. Evidently Ash wasn’t the only one who had noticed us because just a few seconds later a pillow hit both of our faces which made Hailz jerk herself away in surprise. I whirled around to see if I could find the culprit and saw one of Escape The Fate’s guitar techs (I think his name was Billy…or was it Bobby? Fuck, I don’t remember, I’ll call him Billy-Bob.) standing with his back to us pretending to make out with himself. He then turned around and laughed at us while one of the guys he was standing with yelled that we needed to get a room which, I could guess without even looking at her, had embarrassed the hell out of Hailey. Go fuck yourself, Billy-Bob! I flipped them off and mouthed “Fuck you” so I wouldn’t draw any extra attention to her by shouting back. “Hey, you alright?” I asked as I turned back to her. She nodded and tucked a section of hair behind her ear with crimson blush running up her cheeks. Great, there goes all that confidence.
“Yeah, I’m fine, I just…wait” she said before looking around confusedly “Oh, I must’ve left my drink somewhere.” She said
“Oh no, I’ll go get you another one.” I said as I stood up. She probably needs a drink to mellow her out after that. “I’ll be right back!” and off I went. It took a little pushing and shoving, but I got back to the kitchen pretty quickly. I didn’t want to leave her alone for too long, I knew most of the guys here were okay, but there were a couple crew members who were pretty shady roaming around. When I got there, I had to take a few jabs from the Asking guys about my ‘steamy little make-out session’ before they let me get to the fridge. There wasn’t anything but beer in there, so I grabbed her a Blue Moon and started heading back. I wasn’t one step out the kitchen when Craig came up to me and put his arm around my shoulders.
“Hey! CC! Where you been, man? All the guys have been wondering where you were at. Oh, Ryan told this great joke a minute ago, I can’t remember how it went, he’ll have to tell you when we get there…” he immediately started prattling on as he walked me away from the kitchen and the living room and down the hall to one of the bedrooms.
“That’s great, Craig, but I really sh-” I started as I tried to duck out of his arm only to bump into Ronnie who put his arm around me as well.
“CC! We’ve been looking all over for you, man! Oh, you gotta hear this one joke Ryan told…” he said as they led me in. It was clear they weren’t going to let me go anywhere until I heard this God forsaken joke so I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be stuck here for a couple minutes and kept my fingers crossed that Hailey was okay being on her own for a while longer.
**Hailz’s POV**
It’s been about seven minutes since CC walked off to get me a drink and he still hasn’t gotten back yet. I craned my neck to see if I could spot him in the kitchen. Maybe he just got stuck talking to Danny and the rest of them. I sighed disappointedly once I managed to get a good view of the kitchen and saw he wasn’t there. I’m sure there’s a perfectly logical and rational explanation as to why he isn’t back yet and there’s no need to jump to the conclusion that he ditched me or something and oh God stop fucking panicking Hailey! As much as I knew that this level of concern was totally uncalled for I was also aware that there were a lot of girls here and a lot of them were prettier and skinnier than me. Stop that, stop thinking like that. Why the hell would he ditch me for someone else after an amazing dinner date, saying all those nice things, and kissing me like that? God damn, I need to get a grip. I was right in the middle of making a mental note to ask my psych professor for some tips on improving insecurity when the one and only Max Green plopped himself down on the couch next to me.
“Hailstorm! I didn’t know you were gunna be here.” He said with a smile
“Hey Max! Yeah, I came with CC.” I said and smiled back “You wouldn’t happen to know where he is, would you?”
“Can’t say that I do. But uh, I just wanted to apologize about getting a little douche-y towards the end of last night, I don’t usually act like that, I promise.” He said which confused me a little
“I actually don’t remember all that much about how last night ended.” I said
“Really? Well then, I take that back and I was not douche-y at all, you agreed that I was the epitome of epic-ness, and you owe me twenty bucks.” He said which made me laugh
“Yeah right, whatever you say.” I replied sassily
“Well, since Craig and Ronnie are busy doing something and CC is nowhere to be found, why don’t we hang out together until they show up?” he suggested. That wasn’t such a bad idea, I could definitely use something to distract me from my own thoughts right now.
“Sure, I’d appreciate that.” I said which made him smile. He waved over one of his band’s crew members and asked him to get drinks for us.
