(I pick on Josh too much. sweatdrop Also, here we get tickets if we text while driving, sooo ...)
Eric had just pulled away from the gas station and was watching the meter slowly go from E to F when he got the text. He pulled over and took his phone from the passenger seat. Right now, he had too many student loans to pay off to have to worry about a ticket. I'll come and pick you up. Be there in 5. Then, putting his phone back down, he turned on his turn signal and waited for some kind soul to let him into the lane.
Because of the weather and bad drivers, as well as red lights, Eric actually arrived in Maverick's apartment in seven minutes. I'm here, he texted his friend. By the curb.

Eden actually flinched when she was touched, and had the touch come from a stranger she would have probably swatted them away and told them that she was the one in charge. She liked to think she might be in charge of at least something, if not necessarily her own life. Not certain parts of it, anyway. But it was only Shayna, with Ax nearby. Smiling at her friends, she took Shayna's arm and walked into the bar with them.

(I don't know much about snowy weather, but I figure it slows everyone down a whole lot. Here, when it rains people forget how to drive and there's soooo many accidents.)
Eric knew he should let go of the past, and as soon as the light turned green he did - he didn't even spare a single glance at the old bar. Now, he focused on finding this other bar. It actually turned out that it wasn't very far away from the other one, maybe a block or two at most. However, when it snows getting out of one's own driveway can even take a few minutes. But eventually they found a parking space, out of what was probably complete and wonderful luck. Maybe there would be a shining light from up above too, should the clouds decide to part. Eric parked, and turned off the car. Tonight would be about having fun. He took off his seatbelt, unlocked the car and got out. Tonight, if there really was luck in the world, he would forget about the past. After Maverick got out, he locked the car again. And somewhere, the clouds turned dark with the arrival of new snow. Light shining above, there might not be.

Eden, having temporarily curbed her usual reaction to touch, this time acted playfully like a bucking bronco when she felt Axel's arms around her. (It wasn't like she wouldn't have done the same with Shayna, but when the car full of boys honked at her her mind had gone straight into risky territories. The voice echoed faintly.) Now that she was with her friends she could act as frisky as she wanted to, and they would probably do the same. That was what she loved about them. But they needed to get into the bar, because as far as she saw none of them were wearing jackets and Axel was practically soaked to the skin with the snow that had melted onto him. They were still really only in the enterance and the coming and going was bringing in cold gusts of air. She began to notice that Shayna looked tense, and looked at her with apprehension. She was no mind reader, but her friend seemed a little ... off. Probably sleeping something off, Eden said in response to Shayna's question. She wasn't actually sure, either, but they could take care of themselves. Certainly, she always had taken care of herself. To some extent, at least. Let's sit down.
