"Y'all made it instagram official, with this picture?" Robbie laughs shaking his head. I shrug my shoulders at him leaning against the side of my car. He has sunglasses on but he rolls his eyes at Asher and I. We both posted a picture of of us in the bar with me being held by Asher as I throw my head back laughing. I love the picture because of the way he is looking at me, with love. While Asher posted the picture of me with the Happy New Year headband on and him laughing at me from awhile back.

After I was done violently throwing up this morning. Asher and I noticed we had yet to post anything on social media about us. Other than a few random snap stories. So, we both agreed to become "Instagram official." I don't know what made us do it today but we thought fuck it.

"I think it's you and Carter in a nutshell," Tori states looking at me with a smile. Braden makes a face at her tugging down his sunglasses. "I mean c'mon look at them."

We hadn't bother posting pictures of each other before because Asher said it was no one's fucking business but ours. While I just didn't really care.

"What you mean dysfunctional and drunk?" Braden states looking right at me. I push my sunglasses up over my head as Robbie lets out a snort. I glare at him from across the table before sending my foot into his shin.

"Sucks to suck and I'm not always drunk," I defend myself. Braden shoots me a glare as he rubs his shin making Asher laugh. All of us were awaken by Rae since she declared that she needed outfits for Miami. After Braden and I were done throwing up we were dragged out of the house. Asher thankfully put me in the front of the car with the window open. Lacey and Rae are still prancing through the mall while Tori and I are with the boys.

"Well I think you guys are adorable," Tori states leaning her chin on her hand as she hands my phone back to me. I lock my phone and give Asher a tired smile.

"We are pretty cute, aren't we?" Asher asks me as I look at Asher's photo. Braden gags and I shoot him another glare. He shoves his sunglasses back over his face and leans his head back against the wall.

"Alright, I think I'm going to go violently throw up for the third time today," Braden says shoving the cafeteria chair back. He is also violently hungover from last night and throwing back numerous shots with Trey. Who was asked to come but responded by throwing up in a red Solo cup. Julie stayed back to help Trey.

"Do you need someone to hold your hair?" Tori asks in a teasing manner. He flips her off as he makes a beeline towards the mens room. I chuckle at him shaking my head.

"God, how long does it take to freaking shop?" Robbie moans glancing around the food court. We took refugee here because Rae was chasing me with a red bikini and I almost threw up in the dressing room. Asher and I both sprinted to the family bathroom where I almost threw up. Braden was second to find us because he was throwing up in the men's room. Robbie and Tori came last claiming they lost Rae and Lacey somewhere in the upstairs of Forever 21.

"I just want to take a nap," I moan closing my eyes. Asher presses a kiss to my forehead wrapping an arm around my shoulder. As excited as I am that we could possibly be going to Miami and excited to be shopping, I feel like today should not be that day. I feel someone sit down next to me and I crack one eye open.

Braden's chocolate skin is pale and he is now sporting a Gatorade with an unopened one in front of him.

"Take the Gatorade, Miller," he says nudging it in my direction. I groan in response as Asher's ring clad fingers wrap around the bottle for me. I grab it from him and sit up to take a sip. "I am waiting for my thank you."

"Do you want to be punched?" I ask him bringing the bottle to my lips. He snorts at my comment drinking from his as well. It taste like heaven as I watch Tori and Robbie talk about something random. I put the bottle back down and cap it.

"Uh oh," Tori says looking behind the three of us. Asher is the first to turn while Braden and I are slow on it. Rae and Lacey are making a beeline in our direction supporting bags upon bags.

"Fuck all of you assholes," Rae says pointing a finger at all of us. Lacey looks unbothered as she extends a bag in my direction. It's from Aerie and I furrow my eyebrows at her.

"Rae, we are all hungover and Braden was on the verge of getting his stomach pumped," Robbie says from behind me. I grab the bag from Lacey and peak inside. It's a black bikini making me raise my eyebrows even higher.

"You bought a black bikini?" I ask her as Braden turns away from his. She flicks her eyes over him sadness flashing in her blue eyes.

"Um no, it's actually for you. Rae and I both thought it screamed you," Lacey says dragging her eyes back to me. Asher snatches the bag from my hands before I can even actually fully see the thing.

"Thank you, Lace. I can Venmo you," I tell her but she shakes her head. Asher whistles from next to me making me shoot him a glare.

"Want to try it on for me?" he says cheekily in my ear. I shove his face away and he groans in protest. Braden and Tori gag at Asher as he tries to kiss my cheek. I push away from him and look towards Tori.

"Oh sweet Lord can we please leave?" she asks as Asher pulls me into his chest. I laugh taking a sip from my drink as Braden nods his head in agreement.

"Please," Braden pleads. I put my hands up in defense since I clearly do not have any say in this. We all glance towards Rae as Lacey stands at the head of the table. She glances away from Robbie and to us as she sighs loudly.

"Fine but I hope you two know we will be coming back," Rae says pointing at Tori and I. Tori groans in response throwing her head back.

"Yes that's fine, right Tor?" I ask her lightly kicking her shin. She grumbled a 'yes' as Rae gives her a pleased look.

"Then fine, we can go," she states getting off of Robbie's lap. We all sigh in relief as I push off of Asher. I stand up reaching for his hand and he gladly takes it standing up too. I glance up at him with his messy hair and brown eyes he looks so laid back and content. I love seeing him like this and the fact that I get to see him like this. On campus he is an a hot NBA prospect but to me he's just Asher. He gives me a funny look.

"What?" he asks me looking down at me. I smile up at him like an idiot wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Nothing, I just love you," I tell him as he grabs my face. His long fingers go into my hair as he leans down. He presses a deep kiss to my lips making my stomach do flips.

"Oh my god, fucking let's go," Braden moans from behind us as we pull away. I turn around sticking my tongue out at him he flips me off before following everyone. They are pretty far ahead of us as I pull away from Asher. He wraps an arm around my shoulder as we walk behind the group.

"I love you too, by the way," he says pressing a kiss to my temple. I snuggle further into his side ready to take a great nap with him. We walk out of the mall and towards the car. Rae and Robbie get into the front of the car while Braden, Asher, and I get into the back. As for Tori and Lacey, they get the trunk.

"You all are fucking lucky you are hungover," Tori grumbles at Braden who is shutting them into the truck.

"I told you guys I could sit on Asher's lap," I say turning around to look at them. Tori glares at me while Lacey gives me a knowing look. I shut up immediately and turn back around. Asher is laughing at me as I hear the other car door open. Braden slides in next to me. "I am just shutting the fuck up."

"What?" Braden asks making Asher laugh a little harder. I think we all know besides Braden that Lacey wants no part in sitting in the same car as him. Even though she kind of fucked this all up herself. I don't know the full story but from what I saw that's sure how it looks. Braden doesn't really even speak on it even when I've tried. None of us know what happened the night everything went down and honestly, I am not too sure I want to know.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Asher says setting his hand on my thigh. I sigh glancing behind me and then back towards the front of the car. I can feel him studying him so I turn my head to look in his direction.

"Worrying about things that have nothing do with me. The usual," I tell him shrugging my shoulders. He gives me a knowing look and I set my hand on top of his feeling his cool rings on my hand. The mall isn't too far away from campus which is nice because if I stayed in the car any longer I would probably fall asleep.

Once we get back to the house Robbie parks his car behind Asher's and we all pile out. I walk to the back of the car to let out Tori and Lacey. The two of them both have their faces pressed to the glass making me laugh.

"Great, now someone is going to think I kidnapped someone," Robbie mumbles when I open the trunk. I laugh again because their face prints are most definitely on the glass.

"Love ya Rob but that's what you get for sticking us in the trunk," Tori says ask Lacey nods her head in agreement. Robbie rolls his eyes at the two of us and follows the rest of them into the house.

"Carter, I think Tor and I are heading back to your dorm with Julie. You're staying, right?" Lacey asks me as we follow the boys into the house. I nod my head at her and reply with a simple 'yes.' She smiles back at me nodding her head as we walk into the living room. Sixer comes running towards me and I pet behind her ear.

Julie, Trey, and Jeremy are sitting on the couch. Trey looks more alive than I last saw him but he has sunglasses on. Julie looks perfectly fine while Jeremy is passed out.

"Hi guys! How was shopping?" Julie asks slowly getting off of the couch. I can faintly hear Gilmore Girls coming from the TV and smile. Braden grumbles in response and makes a beeline to the stairs. Julie's dark brown eyes follow him wide eyed, "That much fun huh?"

"He's just pressed because he threw up every hour. He'll be fine," Tori responds. Julie nods her head glancing at me.

"Well that sounds, fun?" Julie says in a questioning tone. Asher laughs from beside me sitting down on one of the chairs. I sit down on his lap sighing.

"Lacey and I had fun while the rest of them were in the cafeteria, hiding," Rae says shoving Robbie away from her. He gasps loudly at her accusation making Julie chuckle.

"In my and Braden's defense, we were throwing up," I say raising my hand. "And Asher was helping me."

"And I was helping Braden. I don't know what Robert's excuse is," Tori says plopping down on the couch next to Trey. He moans in response as Tori props her feet up on the coffee table. "Oh my god, he's alive!"

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up." Trey doesn't bother removing his sunglasses as he looks over Tori. Julie puts a hand over her mouth as she steps over Asher's legs to go sit down next to Trey and Robbie again.

"Hi Boo," Tori says ruffling Trey's. I bite back laughter as he slaps her hands away accidentally slapping his sunglasses off. He looks rough and clearly still feeling the effects of the hangover.

"Why did you have to sit next to me? I would have liked anyone else," Trey complains grabbing the sunglasses from his lap. Tori rolls her eyes at him.

"Don't worry, Lace and I are leaving. No need to get your panties in a twist," Tori states pushing herself up off of the couch. Lacey nods her head as I lay my head on Asher's chest.

"Julie you coming?" Lacey asks Julie. Julie glances at Trey and then back at Lacey making me frown. If Julie wants to stay she should stay. Her and Trey are actually adorable AND they were both in Treys room last night. Which I need to get the details on asap.

"Yeah," Julie nods her head in agreement. I don't say anything but frown as Asher squeezes me against his chest. I glance towards Trey who doesn't say anything but I know he's probably annoyed. We bid goodbye to the girls and once I hear the door shut I sit up abruptly on Asher's lap.

"Tell me right now what happened with Julie," I say ignoring Asher's groan. He readjusts me on his lap but I ignore him.

"You're so damn loud," Jeremy groans loudly pulling the blanket up to his chin. I also ignore him and focus on Trey who has not budged. I glance at Rae for backup but she and Robbie have disappeared. I sigh crossing my arms over chest.

"Nothing, Miller. Now go take a nap."

I huff annoyed crossing my arms over my chest. Trey glances at Asher and I open my mouth to say something but can't. Asher plucks me off of his lap standing up. Sixer stands up from in front of us tongue hanging out.

"This is unfair!" I tell loudly. I earn a 'shh' from Jeremy and a laugh from Trey. Asher carries me bridal style up the stairs and into his room. He kicks the door open and sets me down on his bed.

I lay on my back with a sigh. I hear Asher kick off his shoes before I feel the bed dip from beside me. We both lay silently on the bed staring at the ceiling quietly. It's nice just laying here with him and Sixer.

"Braden and Lacey, thats what you're worried about?" Asher asks making me snap my head in his direction. He has a smug little smirk on his face and I don't know how but he always seems to know what I'm thinking.

"Maybe," I mumble looking back up at the ceiling. I sigh because it is true. I am worried about the both of them. As much as Lacey pisses me off sometimes she's still my friend. As for Braden, I love him and I think Lacey pushes Braden. In a good and bad way.

"Don't maybe me, I know you," Asher says from beside me. I turn back to face him and he's already looking at me. His deep brown eyes are glancing over me as I shoot him a smirk.

"You don't know shit," I tease him as he raises his eyebrows at me. I let out a gasp when he grabs my waist as he hovers over me. He has a challenging look on his face with a clenched jaw and he looks super hot.

"I don't know shit? So, how do I know freshman year of high school you got a stick n' poke of your astrology sign right-" he says pausing as his hand drags underneath my shirt. I gasp when he connects right to the spot next to my boob. "-here."

He continues to draw patterns on the side of my boob making my eyes close at how good it feels. I could literally fall asleep like this because it feels so good. He chuckles making me open my eyes.

"Let's sleep," he sighs pushing himself off of me. I nod my head missing his warm hands on my body. I shimmy myself up higher in his bed. Sixer hops off of the bed and lays on her dog bed. I go under Asher's covers. I watch Asher's bare chest as he climbs into bed next to me.

"Staring is rude ya know," Asher says bringing me in close to him. His cologne engulfs me as I close my eyes snuggling into his chest.

"Shhh." I hear him chuckle as he presses a kiss to my head. I smile to myself as I drift off into sleep.
