"Luke." I said, shaking him awake.
It was nine o'clock and our flight left at twelve.
"We have to wake up. We can't be late." I said.
He wouldn't wake up.
I pulled the cover off of him.
"CARTOONZ." I laughed.
He sighed.
I ruffled his hair.
"Dude, I have breakfast from downstairs waiting for you. Cinnamon Toast!!" I said.
I grunted and pulled the covers back onto him.
"Lukkkee." I said.
He still didn't wake up.
"You know what? Fine. I'm going for a wake and getting some coffee, when I come back, you better be awake. Because we have to get to L.A, and if we miss our flight, I'll pour my hot coffee on you." I told him.
I walked out of the door with my phone and earbuds and listened to music while walking down the street.
A couple of girls were walking by and looking at me, but I didn't care.
I jogged to the nearest gas station.
A woman was at the cash register.
"Hello, sir. How may I help you?" she asked.
I read the name on her name tag. "Kelsey."
She had curly red hair and green eyes.
Her teeth were white and her lips were really pink. She was one of those girls my parents would want me to marry.
My sister also has always wanted a sister-in-law, also.
My sister has always been one of my best friends.
She was always there for me, along with Evan and Skylar.
Her name's Lonnah. She's really pretty. When our parents were getting a divorce, I remember my baby sister always being there for me.
I would always see her run around the house with her little black hair up in a ponytail and her favorite bunny hoodie.
She would always jump up and down when Skylar, my spunky, funny, outgoing cousin, came over and then they would go into the other room and play with their blocks.
I smiled to myself at the thought of them.
"Sir?" the cashier asked. She looked panicked.
"Oh. Hello." I said, turning red.
"How may I help you?" she smiled.
"Um, a small coffee and a Snickers candy bar." I shrugged. I'd give Luke the snickers.
She handed me the items.
"Sir?" she asked when I turned to leave.
"Oh. Umm, yeah?" I asked.
"Uh, may I -" she looked embarrassed.
"May I have your number?" she giggled.
"Oh. Sure." I gave my number to her and she smiled. She waved goodbye and I walked out of the store. For some reason, I didn't feel attracted to the girl.
When I got home, Luke was brushing his teeth and was wearing a white shirt with jeans.
I could tell he had just gotten out of the shower because his hair was wet.
He looked at me. I set my coffee onto our table.
"Hey." I said.
He spit into the sink and then sat on his bed.
"Hangover?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" he asked.
I looked up to the ceiling and then back at him.
"Oh, how could I forget. Do you remember?" I asked.
He sighed and laid back on the bed.
"I was hoping you forgot."
I laughed, nervously.
"Listen, Delirious, you know that..." he began.
"Yeah, I know. You didn't mean it. You were drunk." I laughed.
"I kinda guessed that."
"It's not awkward or anything? " he asked.
"No, it's okay." I said.
"Okay." he sat up again.
It was quiet for a few moments.
"In that case, let's head to the city of Angels." he said, standing up.
We finished packing.
I walked outside first and saw a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on our door.
"Luke. Dude. You planned this last night. Didn't you. That's why you took so long out there to 'get up the stairs'."
I laughed.
"Eck." Luke made a disguisted sound and closed our door after taking out the last suitcase.
I laughed.
We hopped into the rental truck and drive to the airport.
It was a long ride. Luke fell asleep on my shoulder.
I listened to music and replied to some tweets that my fans sent.
At three-thirty, , we finally arrived in California.
"Luke. We're in California." I woke him up.
He yawned.
He noticed he was on my shoulder and he sat up quickly.
We finally got off the plane. Cartoonz looked around, excitedly.
He's always wanted to come here.
Before we get on the cruise, we were all going to spend the night at Vanoss' vocational house.
He told us it gave him an excuse to stay in it because he doesn't much often due to the distance from Canada.
I blushed at the thought of staying in Evan's house.
It gave me butterflies.
Cartoonz and I reached the front desk at the airport.
"Hello. I hope you had a safe flight." a baggage handler lady walked by.
"Nicole." I read on her tag.
"Ma'am." Cartoonz said to her.
She looked over to us and walked over.
"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"
"Hello there." Luke winked.
The lady looked at him, displeased.
"How may I help you? " she said in a less cheerful voice.
"You can help me in a lot of ways, sweet-"
"Cut it out, Luke." I said.
The lady looked at me.
"You sound... familiar." she smiled and moved her black hair from her eyes.
My stomach dropped.
"Oh, we're not from around here, you wouldn't know us." Luke covered us.
"Oh. Haha, my mistake." she began to walk away.
"Miss Nikki." he said.
The lady turned. "Nicole." she blinked after correcting him.
"What do you need?" she asked.
"Where are the bathrooms?" Cartoonz asked her.
"There." she pointed.
Cartoonz headed to the bathroom.
"Give this to your friend." she smiled and handed me a travel pamphlet when Cartoonz was half-way to the bathroom.
"Thank you." I said.
She smiled, winked, and then hurried away.
Cartoonz finally came out of the bathroom and I gave him a pamphlet.
We hopped in a rental car to get to Evan's house.
Cartoonz laughed.
"What? " I asked.
"She wrote her number in the pamphlet. It says, 'call me at 5 sharp. No hold-ups.' Hear that? " he asked me.
"What?" I laughed.
"One more lady who couldn't take her eyes off me." he laughed.

We arrived to Evan's house at exactly 5.
"You have to call her now? " I asked as we got out of the car.
"She said no hold-ups." he shrugged.
I leaned against the rental car and looked at the ground.
We were facing away from the house. A couple of cars were already in the driveway.
Cartoonz finally got Nicole on the phone.
"Hey, there, Nikki." he laughed.
Nicole. I heard her correct him.
I smiled.
"Don't worry, sweetie, when you get used to me calling you Nikki, that name Nicole will be all behind you." he laughed.
Oh, if I were you, I'd be more worried about the things behind YOU instead of what would be behind me.
I heard her say.
I looked in the mirrors to the house.
"Cartoonz?" I said.
"She hung up on me! " he said.
"Luke." I said, turning to the girl who was now on the steps in front of Evan's house, wearing a pair of blue jean shorts, a neon blue tanktop, and white saddles. Her black hair was up in a bun and her skin was flawless.
Everything about her brown eyes to her smile said 'smug'.
I laughed. Cartoonz still hadn't noticed her.
I saw Evan get behind her. He put a finger to his lips.
"I knew you two sounded familiar." Nicole said.
Cartoonz froze and turned around.
"WHAT? " he asked.
She laughed and Evan started chuckling, too.
They walked over to us. Nicole was several inches shorter than Cartoonz and Vanoss.
She was about the same size as me.
"I would say meet my sister, Nicole, but apparently she told me you two already have." Evan said.
"Wow... " Cartoonz laughed.
"You guys look alike." I laughed, talking to Nicole.
"Thanks, Delirious." Nicole said, winking.
I opened my mouth in shock.
"She's a fan," Evan said.
"And this is actually her house. I made everyone come just for her. She wanted to meet you guys." he said, hugging her and ruffling her hair.
She laughed. "You're lucky mom isn't here." she smacked him.
"So, you're the H2ODelirious. The one that finally, after millions and millions of subscribers tells us what he looks like." Vanoss punched my shoulder.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"You don't look too bad, Delirious." Vanoss said. He turned a little red afterwards.
Suddenly, we heard a car speed down the street.
"Tyler." Vanoss, Cartoonz, Nicole and I said at the same time.
I remember watching WILDCAT brag about his new Corvette on Twitter.
Sure enough, a white Corvette pulled into the driveway.
When the doors opened, not only Tyler stepped out, but so did Craig.
"MiniLadd? " I asked.
He froze. "Jonathan? Delirious?" he laughed.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"Why were you and Tyler in the car together? Thought you were coming by yourself." Cartoonz asked Mini.
"Oh, uhh... " Mini stammered.
"We decided to stay the night in the hotel together to save money instead of getting two separate rooms." Tyler said, quickly.
"Oh, okay... " Cartoonz let it go.
I didn't. At least not in my mind.
Eventually, everyone arrived and we got settled down.
Evan questioned Cartoonz why he was flirting with his sister. Then everything grew quiet.
Moo Snuckel then came outside.
And so did someone else.
Someone I hadn't expected.
"LONNAH??!"
"Jonny!" my baby sister said.
"Lonnah!" I hadn't seen my baby sister in a while, so I went over and picked her off the ground to hug her.
"Jonathan. Chill. I can't fucking breath." she said.
I laughed and set her down.
Then someone else unexpected ran over.
"JONNYY!!! COUSIN! " Skylar hopped on over to us and hugged us, too. Her purple hair was a little longer than when I last saw her. It was to her shoulders. Her blue eyes were so happy and her black dress moved just in time so she didn't trip over it with her black combat boots.
"I missed you guys! " I said.
I could see Vanoss watching us from a distance.
"What are you guys doing here? " I asked.
"Oh, Lonnah's my girlfriend." Brock said.
I looked over to my friend.
"My sister? My baby sister. " I said.
He looked at me and nodded.
"Take care of her." I said.
"I will." Moo took my baby sister into his arms and kissed her.
Everything soon settled down. Evan ordered a lot of pizza and a lot of beer.
Of course, Cartoonz ended up getting drunk. So did Nicole. And everyone else. Except for me, because I don't drink. None of them could really stand up.
But then it all came down to sleeping arrangements.
