Today was the day that the boys had released some fresh new merch before the year ended, which was christmas eve.

So now Faith was sat in this huge warehouse surrounded by boxes and boxes of merchandise while she watched the boys scramble to talk to the people who worked for them. She was impressed by how huge their company was, so much that they needed this many people.

She sighed as her back ached, the hard plastic chair barely pressed against her back was enough for her to appreciate the times that she had been lying in Scott's bed. Reminiscing on the times where she was most comfortable.

She scrolled on her phone for a bit, though there was not much to go through. She settled on shooting Beth a text since it had been nearly two weeks since she had last saw her, to which she replied saying that she already had a new bunk mate.

She complained about her attitudes and childish acts, leaving Faith to laugh mindlessly as workers glanced out of surprise.

"Hey, lady." Scott said as he approached her, making her pull her eyes off of her phone and shut it off.

Faith smiled up at him, "We're gonna start heading out right now we just have to go over one thing, you can go ahead and sit in the car if you'd like." he suggested as he dangled the car keys in front of her face.

She slowly grabbed them with a nod, "I'll be waiting." she joked as if she had something else to do.

She began her walk outside of the huge building, taking notice in the beautiful city around her. It was definitely a more wealthy side of Louisiana, the other side of the lake you would've never thought of the peace.

Of course there was some things that she had missed. The garden district and the french quarter were some notable parts in her childhood, back when her parents could actually stand to be around her.

Or the classical jazz music that actually came from authentic instruments played by the people of NOLA. She also missed Mardi Gras, when the whole city would come together, anyone desperate enough for some beads would usually flip their tops. It was a fun event and made mostly everyone forget about the bad that did occur there, that was until someone would eventually commit some sort of crime.

Faith hadn't even noticed that they were at the car until they pulled on the handle, making her press the unlock and let them in.

She crawled into the back, over the center console as she made room for Ari.

"You don't gotta sit in the back every time, Faith." he laughed at the girls actions.

Faith shrugged as she buckled in, "Already here now." she exhaled.

He shook his head as he took a seat next to his cousin.

Scott cleared his throat as he turned to face her, "Me and Oddy got you a little something, an early christmas gift." he smiled nervously as he held it in his arms.

Faith blinked rather confusedly, staring at the boys before scrunching her nose "Aww." she groaned, "You guys didn't have to, I didn't really get you guys much." she said full of shame.

"Don't even worry girl, you deserve it." he spoke as he handed off the piece of fabric, a dark red hoodie with their logo on it and the front was her name embroidered onto the front left part of the chest.
