The next morning, Emily woke up, and looked around. She was lying in a bed, in a hotel, and Lance was next to her. **How did I get here?** she thought to herself.
Lance woke up, and sat up. “Whoa, how’d I get in here?” he asked himself.
Emily responded. “I don’t know.”
Lance sat back, startled. “And, I did not know you were in here, either.”
“Neither did I. Not until I woke up, at least. I thought that’d I’d wake up in the bus,” Emily told him. She looked towards his direction, then lied back down. She sighed. “I’m so tired, man.”
”So, did you have fun last night?” Lance asked.
“Oh, yeah. It was such a blast. I loved it.” She looked at him. “I wish that it could happen all over again.”
“Good.” Lance leaned over her, and lowered down to her lips. Before he could kiss her, though, the door opened. He sat back up, and looked over at Joey, who was in the doorway. “What?” he asked him.
“Nothing. I just wanted to see if you were up,” he said. He smiled, and closed the door.
Lance sighed, and sat back where he had been. Emily got up, and went into the bathroom.

“Hey, Chris,” Joey said, walking into the room, and then started laughing.
“What is it?” Chris asked.
“Lance . . . and Emily. Looks like I interrupted them at the wrong time,” Joey smirked.
“What do you mean?” Chris asked, slowly. “You mean, that Lance is ‘getting over’ the other Emily?”
“Exactly. He was about to kiss this one when I walked in.” Joey had a triumphant look on his face. “We should go clubbin’ tonight. I know for a fact, that Emily and Kira are both 21, and what Lance needs, is some fun. Emily could provide that. She told me that she and Kira do drink on occasion.”
Chris shook his head, laughing. “Sure. Sure, why not?”

“Yeah, so he tried to kiss me, but Joey walked in,” Emily told her.
“Cool. I doubt that JC’s gonna kiss me anytime soon. Because of Gabrielle and the car crash,” Kira said.
“What car crash?” Emily asked.
“You don’t know?”
Emily shook her head.
“About 6 months ago, on Lance’s girlfriends birthday, they got into a car crash. Both JC and Lance’s girlfriends died. That’s who Gabrielle was. She was JC’s girlfriend,” Kira explained.
“I heard about the car crash. But . . . who was Lance’s girlfriend? You never said.”
“Emily.”
“What?” Emily asked, indicating to keep going.
“What do you mean what? That’s who it was. His girlfriends’ name was Emily.”
