Everyone else woke up and slowly each got out of the van. When everyone had gotten off and unload their things, AJ looked at Joy. "Why don't you two come in and I'll clean your cuts. Then you can tell me where you live and I'll take you two home." AJ suggested. "Okay."
They lead the way in. AJ walked next to Joy while Nick walked with Marie. Kevin opened the door and let everyone in. Nick went straight to his room and so did everyone else except for AJ. "You two can take a seat, I'll be right back."
Joy and Marie took a seat on the couch. They waited for a few minutes and AJ came back with a First Aid pack. "Owe..." Joy complained as AJ rubbed alcohol on her cut. "Sorry," AJ looked up at her. "Joy, you should be careful, you know that it takes a long time for you cuts to heal," Marie warned her friend. Joy shot a look at her friend that said "Be quiet."
Just then, Nick walked out from a fresh shower. He was drying his hair with a towel. Marie looked up at him. Her eyes widen and she stared up and down at him. "Hey, you two are still here?" Nick took a seat. "Done," AJ finished bandaging Joy's cut. "Thanks," she smiled at him. "So, are you two new here?" AJ finally asked. "Yeah, we just got here from Seattle, when we saw you guys at the airport and got ambushed," Marie answered and laughed when she thought back the scene at the airport. "Where are you staying at?" Nick asked concerned.
It was obvious that Nick had some kind of attraction to Marie. And she liked him too, she knew it, but keep on giving him a hard time. "We live on Ronald Drive," Joy answered. "Just out of town," AJ added. "Yeah."
The four continued to talk. The whole time AJ apologized for what happened while nick tried to get to know Marie better. "... they curly hair one is Brian, and the one in front, that Kevin. The one with long hair, is Howie," Nick explained. "So you guys are like huge in Europe huh?" Joy asked. "I guess," Nick answered shyly.
Nick looked at Marie and noticed that she was rubbing her neck. "Sorry for sleeping on you in the car," Nick said. "And are you also sorry for wrapping your arms around me too?" Marie teased. Nick just blushed and didn't' say anything. Joy looked at her watch. "Damn, I broke it!" She shook her watch. "It's late, we should be leaving," Joy stood up from her seat on the couch. "Yeah," Marie agreed.
AJ grabbed his keys and walked to the door. He opened it and saw that it was pouring outside. "We have to run again to the car," he looked at the two of them. "I'll come too," Nick took his jacket. "Why?" "Cuz I want to!" Nick protested. "Okay, c'mon!"
The four ran out to the car. And got inside. Joy sat in the front with AJ while Nick and Marie sat in back. "Gee.. You guys are really bad luck," Joy said as she put on her seat belt. "What!" Nick sounded offended. "Well, let's see.. ever since we saw you guys, we got runned over, stomped on, cut, slept on, my watch broke, soaked....What's next?" Joy asked herself. "Sorry," AJ said sadly. Joy and Marie laughed. "I was just joking, it's actually pretty funny when you think about it. There's nothing to be sorry about. Hey, now we have friends here," Marie said. "Is there anyway we can make it up to you girls?" Nick asked. "Can you show us around town when you have time?" Marie asked. "We'll try," Nick answered. The whole ride to Joy and Marie's place was silent. They were all thinking about the other..Nick about Marie, Marie about Nick. Joy thought about AJ and AJ thought about Joy.
