Hello people! In this chapter the girls go shopping for Christmas with their annoyed boyfriends trailing behind. This might include Christmas! So continue reading this story and enjoy it! Don't forget to review even if you are a Guest.
Without further ado, chapter 7.
Today I was going Christmas shopping with my BFFs and my boyfriend and my sister and Thea. I was also getting my bridesmaid dress with Thea and it was going to be fun. I checked my appearance in the mirror once again, satisfied.
I was wearing dark red skinny jeans, black crop top with a red vest, red jacket and black fur pumps and a red wrap-around bow. I skipped slowly because of my heels, down the stairs for breakfast. I went into the kitchen and there was Tim sipping coffee and looking drained.
"Hey big bro! What's up?" I asked, he just shrugged and yawned.
"Wedding stuff. It's going to be in January." He said. I nodded and hugged him, trying to at least take some stress off.
"What do you still need to do?" I asked him. He thought for a while and finished his coffee.
"Bestmen suits, flowers, reception. I don't even know what flowers Cornie likes. And I'm going to need about 300 of them." I sighed and dropped his head into his hands. I stroked his back and smiled.
"Hey, why don't you leave the flowers and reception to me? You guys have done loads." I said. Tim looked at me hopeful and I nodded to approve my offer. He hugged me tight and ran to his bedroom. CoCo came a few minutes after looking fresh and awake.
"Come on! Thea's outside." She said, walking to her handbag and grabbing mine on the way. "We're taking my Prius. Then we'll pick up Mitchie and Mara on the way." CoCo called going out the door. I hadn't even had breakfast!
I got some yoghurt from the fridge and a spoon from the cutlery drawer and walked out with my phone and closed the door. "Hey Thea!" I said, hugging her awkwardly due to the items in my hands.
"Hi Cait. Let's go, your sister is already in her car." Thea said, dragging me into the passenger seat then hopping into the back. The moment our doors closed, Cornie drove off to Mitchie's Calafornian Mansion then Mara's bungalow.
...
"How do we look?" I asked, Mitchie, Mara, the guys and CoCo about mine and Thea's bridesmaids' dresses. They were metallic silver and reached just above our knees with a lot of net at the bottom to make it frilly. I could see Thea was into this kinda stuff but I wasn't I seriously hated this. The only reason I like this is because it was strapless. Thea's had thick strips to hold it in place. We wore matching silver pumps.
"Hmm..." Cornie said. This was like the fifth dress we tried. Thea and I groaned and started walking back. "It's not the one." CoCo dismissed with a wave of her hand.
"What the fuck!" Thea exclaimed. All of us turned to see people with angry looks around the shop. "Sorry..." She mouthed. We all chuckled silently. "This is like the gazillionth dress we've tried. I want to wear midnight blue, what about you Kitty C?" I laughed at Thea's nickname. I shrugged.
"I agree with Thea. I mean, no offence big sis, but you're kinda turning into Bridezilla." I said. CoCo stood up and twirled me around into my dressing room. I heard someone say, 'She's gunna get it' setting the whole group to laugh. CoCo went out and got Thea as well.
While she was still pushing me in, I stopped in my tracks and saw the perfect bridesmaid dress in the racks. There was at least a dozen of them. I squealed. "CoCo?! I found the dress!" I said. Everyone turned and saw it too, they gasped. Well, the girls did. The guys just shrugged and continued playing their phone game.
The dress was short and midnight blue. It had netting for the strap, kinda like a halter neck or turtle neck. There was gold diamonds running from the waist to the bottom. Thea gasped and picked one her sized before running into her dressing room. I took one in my size and went in. CoCo came with blue navy peep toe pumps and shoved them into our hands.
I quickly got dressed and put the shoes on. I went out and saw Thea walk out the same time as me. We giggled and asked everyone what they thought. "O.M.G! Caitlyn Alice and Theadora! You guys look absolutely stunning! This is the one!" Me and Thea grinned at CoCo's approval and we all cheered. Now after purchasing these, we're going to do some Christmas shopping!
...
I was done with my shopping and I waited for the rest of the group to come. Nate and I went together and I gave all my shopping bags to him. He had to be the willing, helpful boyfriend, right? I kept going on and on about how strong he was and how his muscles looked so sexy and he agreed to carry them. Being Female rules!
I had gotten my mother a old photo of when she was young and 16 dancing. I got CoCo a scarf she always wanted and also a 'Best Sister' bracelet. For Mitchie and Mara, I got BFF necklaces. It was different colour charms(our favourite colours) and they'll join together like magnets. I got Thea a bracelet for sisters. I got Tim a new Aston Martin car. Don't ask how I got it. I know people. I got Tim and Thea's parents chocolates. I got Nate a new guitar that he always wanted. I got Shane and Jason a game for their Playstation. I got Mitchie's parents chocolates and I also got that for Mara's too. I got the boys' parents chocolates too. And between all that, I had managed to get the flowers and get the venue for the reception and text Tim that. Woo, hard work!
There were a few fans who came up to us, sitting down, and asked for autographs and pictures. We happily took them a girl asked me: "How does it feel to be Tim Stacy's future sister? Are you excited about the wedding?" I said the usual 'Yeah, I feel elated! Yeah I'm really excited about it!' then they left us alone.
Finally, our friends/brothers came and so did Thea and CoCo. "Wow, Cait, you got your boyfriend to carry all your stuff. I can see you girls did that too." CoCo said. I grinned and so did Mara and Mitchie. "Come on you lazy bunch, let's go back to mine and Cait's. How will we even fit all this stuff into the boot?!" Cornie said, walking to the entrance/exit with us following. We all shrugged and laughed.
"Hello? Tim?!" Cornie and I called out. I found a note saying, 'Out walking Alice. Cait cant be bothered.'. Oops! CoCo shook her head at me and went into the kitchen. The girls and guys followed me into the living room and we all fell onto the sofas.
"Tiring day! And it's only, like, 1 p.m!" Mitchie said. She put the air conditioning on even thought it was absolutely freezing out there!
"I know right. I feel like it's 11 p.m!" Mara responded. We all agreed as Cornie came in with juice. We all took a glass and sighed in relief. Talk about totally weird moments!
"So, Christmas is in a couple of weeks from today." Jason started. We all nodded.
"You girls and your early Christmas shopping. Lord help us all!" Shane exaggerated. We all laughed and me, Thea, CoCo, Mitchie and Mara shook our heads and shrugged.
"So what did you get me?" Nate asked me. I looked at him and gave him a look that said, 'You think I'm telling you?' and I grinned.
"Nothing." I said simply. Everyone laughed and gasped. "Yeah that's right. Nothing." Nate feigned hurt.
"You're mean!" He pouted and I grinned and wriggled my eyebrows sipping my beverage like I was posh British person. "Oh, well. I got you nothing too." He said, simply. Way to go subtle!
"Hey, Caitlyn. Mom said you made song while you were up there. Wanna sing it for us, please? It's unfair that Mom heard it!" Cornie pouted. Seriously, she was 25 not 15. She still had the heart of a kid who became a top lawyer. I sighed and got my favourite guitar.
"This is called, 'You Gotta Be', hope you enjoy it." I said. I started strumming and began to sing the words.

I waited for their reactions. Everyone's mouths were open and their eyes were bulging. Suddenly, someone applauded. "Wow Cait! I didn't know you could sing that well!" Said Tim walking in with Alice hot on his heels. Everyone started clapping and I nearly had a heart attack from the way Tim walked in without us all know.
"I know, I'm that good!" I said, boasting. Well you should know me. I easily get pissed, I speak my mind, I boast. Yup, Caitlyn Alice [Gellar] Wynwood doesn't take shit and is very self-centred.
I couldn't wait for Christmas!
"Merry Christmas! Your friends and their families will be here in a hour. Mom and Tim's family in a while. Go downstairs for special breakfast." Cornelia said banging on my door. I woke up and smiled.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!" I screamed. I heard Alice barking and my sister and Tim laughing. I quickly jumped in the shower after stripping my clothes and put my makeup on. I got fresh underwear and wore them going into my walk-in closet. Hmm what to wear, what to wear... Oh yeah, the dress I brought for Christmas.
I went inside the new clothes section and saw it. Red sparkly satin dress. I had got peep-toe flats to go with it and a sparkly silver head band. I heard my laptop beep and saw it was only VideoChatz. I had gotten invites from Mara, Mitchie and the guys. I accepted them all and grinned. "Merry Christmas my loved ones!" I said. They all exchanged seasons greetings and grinned.
Mitchie was wearing the green and red sparkly dress she chose at Jimmy Choo. Mara wore a green sparkly dress. Nate was wearing a black suit with a red Rudolph tie. Same as Jason and Shane. Total LOL. But Jason had Santa on his tie. Alice came to me wearing the outfit I got her. Elf dress. "Hey Santa's elf!" Nate said. We all giggled and I kissed Alice.
"Hurry up and get here! I'm bored. Thea hasn't arrived yet." I said. I got a invite from a person called TStacy Rocks. Thea! I accepted ASAP. "Hi Thea! Get your fucking ass here!" I said. Thea shrugged.
"Hey guys Mez Christmas!" She said. "Oh and my mother is taking ages to choose a outfit. My step-dad is like 'Really Moira?' and she was like 'Yes Jimmi!'. So here I am fifteen minutes away from a totally awesome dinner party. How's Tim and CoCo." She asked.
"CoCo's fucking flipping out." Everyone laughed.
"It is Christmas, huh?" Mara said. I shrugged.
"And Tim?" Mitchie asked. Hmm, I don't really know.
"He's calm, I guess..." I replied.
"Trust Tim to be calm in situations like this! She could be serving a whole football team with subs!" Shane said. We all laughed.
"Caitlyn Alice! Get your fucking ass out of bed, Mom's here with her boyfriend!" Cornelia said. I gave everyone a look that said, 'See what I live with' I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not in bed! I'm dressed and talking to my friends!" I shouted. Too late, someone was coming upstairs. "Uh oh, Cornie's horny!" I said. My friends sniggered. I turned in my seat and saw my mother waltz in a beige silk dress with loads of sparkles. "Hello Mommy!" I squealed, jumping to hug her.
"Oh hey darling! Hi boys and girls." Mother took notice of my friends. "Oh hello Theadora! How's your mother and Jimmi? I haven't seen you since forever!" Rebecca said.
"Merry Christmas!" My friends chorused.
"My Mom is alright. So is Jimmi..." Thea trailed off. She looked sad.
"Hey T-Babe? What's up?" I asked. She shrugged and smiled but failed.
"Hard to keep in the Christmas spirit when it's been five years since your father died, huh?" She said. All of us smiled weakly and said consoling things. I knew how it felt, kinda. This was the first Christmas without Jacob. Not that I'm saying I want him back as a father. No way!
"We're here for you, Thea." Jason said. All of us agreed. Suddenly we heard the boys' mother call them to leave to come here. "Bye guys! See you in a while!" Jason said. The boys signed off and it left us girls.
"Actually, my Mom just called too. We'll be there in twenty minutes. Love you!" Mitchie said, blowing a kiss. I smiled and waved as she signed off. Mara soon did then Thea.
"You look gorgeous. You, Mitchie and Mazz look like you're singers in a group." Mom said hugging my back. I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah..." I replied sighing.
"So Cornelia? How do you feel about your wedding being in three weeks?" Mitchie's Mom, Connie asked at the dinner table. Cornelia grinned and sighed happily.
"I'm elated. I cant wait to marry Tim." CoCo replied looking into his eyes. I smiled. She has never been more happy in years. Her and Tim have been together forever.
"Oh Timothy, why a January wedding? Why not April." His mother, Moira asked. Tim looked away fro Cornie and smiled at his Mom.
"Beginning of the year means beginning of our lives and a new year." He replied, not missing a beat. Everyone awed his reply. Including the dads and the boys.
"Caitlyn Alice?" I looked up to Cornelia. "Come help me with desert." I smiled and got out my chair following her into the kitchen. She handed me a Christmas cake enough to feed a million people and I struggled with the weight. "That's for making your boyfriend piss me off by waking me at 11 a.m!" She whispered slyly.
"Hey, I got revenge for you. Making him carry our bags." I retorted. She smiled and pushed me out, going back in to get the custard. "Everyone, I present this cake CoCo and I made together!" I said. Everyone looked eager to grab a piece. Even Mara's little brother and sister. Cornie came in with the custard.
"Oh Caitlyn Alice and Cornelia Jacqueline! You would make great chefs." Our mother said. CoCo and I looked at her if she grew three heads.
"Mother! I told you, I am a lawyer and I've always wanted to be one." Said my big sister, cutting the cake up. She looked at me for my response.
"Mommy, I want to be a music producer, remember?" I said, handing the plates full of cake with/out custard out to our guests.
"Yeah, I remember. That's why I got you something big for Christmas this year." She said. Everyone including me looked at her. I smiled eagerly. "I got you a building. You know, your own record label. You can name it and do anything with it." My eyes widened and I'm pretty sure everyone else's did too.
"My...my...my..."I said still shocked and digesting this news.
"Yes, honey, your own producing studio!" She exclaimed, making everyone applaud.
"Oh Mommy!" I said, embracing her in a big tight hug. "I love you!" I whispered.
"I love you too!" She replied, enthusiastically. "Why don't you sing while we eat?" I nodded and smiled and ran to my bedroom to get my lucky guitar. I got downstairs and sat at my piano stool.
"I love your piano!" Mara's mother said. I thanked her and strummed my guitar to get it into tune. Hmm, what song? I know! I took a deep breath and started strumming my guitar.

"Oh my goodness, Caitlyn!" Mr Paves said. I could see Mr and Mrs Gray and Mr and Mrs Torres agreed with Mr Paves reaction.
"That was wonderful!" Mrs Paves said. I smiled.
"Nathaniel? You chose a nice young lady." Mr Gray said, his wife hugging his arm happily.
"I know..." Nate looked down, blushing. I grinned and sighed happily.
"Christmas songs!" Mara and her siblings called out.
"Which one?" Tim asked. Everyone thought for a while.
"How about 'Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer'?" Jason suggested. We all agreed and I gave my guitar to Mitchie to play and I sat comfortably on my piano stool and started the song.
You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen.
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him
And they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history!
We all ended the song and laughed. "Merry Christmas!" Someone behind everyone said. We all turned to see the person. Maria.
"Oh my gosh, Maria!" I said getting up and hugging her. "Merry Christmas!" I said. CoCo and Mom hugged her as well.
"Wow you look great guys! My boyfriend couldn't make it. He had to go to stay with his family. But I wanted to come here because you guys are my family. Like I'm your mother's sister." She said. I flipped my hair and hugged her again.
"You know Shane, Jason, Nate and Mitchie." I said, she nodded. "Well, this is Mara, her family, Mitchie's family and the guys' family." I introduced everyone. "So you staying over? Pleease!" I begged. She still had some clothes left over here from when she used to live here. She gave in and nodded rolling her eyes. I squealed and hugged her.
"Right everyone, gift time!" Cornelia exclaimed. We all made our way to our huge living room and we sat down in front of the Christmas tree. "Right, Cat, would you like to go first?" Cornelia asked me. Seriously, she was still doing her revenge. I looked around nervously before setting my eyes on the tree.
"Ok...?" I said, rather scared. I took a breath and got the first gift underneath the tree. "This is for...Mitchie and Mara." I said, reading the name tags. Seriously, I wrapped the presents, I should know who gets what. My best friends came to me and took it out of my hands. I looked down while they opened the boxes.
"Oh my God! Caitlyn!" They said together. I looked up and smiled. I showed them my purple charm necklace and they both joined their green(Mitchie) and yellow(Mara) charms to mine. We all smiled and did a threesome hug. "Thanks, it's great!" They said together again. All of us burst out laughing at the jinxing.
"You're welcome, BFFs." I smiled. "Next, Mom." I said, handing her the gift." I smiled when tears came out her eyes. She showed everyone the picture and we all awed.
"Caitlyn, this is so beautiful. I forgot I even had this picture. Where did you find it?" She asked I looked down and blushed a bit.
"I kinda went into your office to get my dancing shoes and saw it lying in the drawer. Abandoned. So I got it sharpened and in black and white." I replied. She nodded and kissed my head. "Next, CoCo." I said. I gave her present to her and she grinned when she opened it.
"I know at times, I'm not the best sister. But ok, I am!" She said. We all laughed as she put her new scarf and bracelet on.
"Urm Tim? I got you the car you always wanted. The one you bragged about and annoyed us about. Yeah..." I said. Tim immediately ran to the window like he was 5 years old not 25 and grinned like there was no tomorrow.
"Thanks Caitlyn!" He said, hugging me. I grinned and shrugged like it was no biggie.
"Shane and Jason. I know you love your Playstation more than your girlfriends..." I started. Everyone laughed and the boys blushed. "So here's that game you wanted that only came out yesterday. Before you ask. I know people." I said, putting my hands up. I gave them the gift and they grinned like little babies.
"Thanks Caitlyn!" They chorused. Jinxing Christmas? Real clever!
"No problem! Nate, here's your gift." I said, handing him the huge box which was wrapped in blue wrapping paper. His eyes widened and he ripped it open.
"You didn't!" He gasped.
"I did..." I said, acting like I didn't care. I did, because he kissed me and hugged me.
"The newest guitar in stores! How did you...?" I gave everyone the look, 'I know people' and they all 'ah'd in understanding. I laughed and smiled.
"Here you go Thea. I know we've known each other for a couple of weeks, but you're already like a sister to me. Mainly because you are the sister of the guy my sister is marrying. So, yeah, we have connections!" I said and she laughed, collecting her gift.
"I love it! You're like a sister to me too." She said. She put the bracelet on and hugged me. "Thanks." She said.
"You're welcome. Right, I didn't really know what to get your parents so I got them Thortons chocolates." I said, handing the adults their chocolates. They thanked me and the moms hugged me. "You're welcome. Oh and Maria? CoCo, Mom and me got you your gift together. For all the times you were there for us. A big thank you." I said. Cornie get the gift and Maria hugged me then her then my mother. I smiled because she was trying to keep tears out of her eyes. We gave her a gift of her, me and Cornelia when we were little.
"I love it. You girls were like family." She said. I grinned and sighed happily.
"So Cornelia! Your turn!" I said. Cornie looked at me then everyone else. "Actually before you give the gifts, I got something to say to you and Tim." I said. They both looked at me smiling. "I know you guys are stressed with the wedding planning and everything so I managed to help out. Tim knows this because I asked if I could. I organised your reception venue and I got your favourite flowers. I also secretly got a car for you for when you go on your honeymoon." I said. Cornelia's smile dropped and she started crying.
"Oh Caitlyn. You really are the best sister ever!" She laughed. I got up and hugged her tight before she pulled me and I ended up sitting on her lap. "And you still are my baby sister. Now sit on my lap!" I giggled and everyone laughed. I shrugged and got comfortable on her lap. "Wait, you do know my favourite flowers, right?" She asked me. I nodded.
"Forget-me-nots." I replied. Cornie smiled softly and stroked my face.
"What's important about those?" Jason, being the air-head he is, asked. Cornie smiled to him and nudged me to explain.
"When I was four and CoCo was eleven, we went to a park and forget-me-nots were in bloom. I picked one off the bush and handed it to her. Before I gave it, I said a little prayer and blessed the flower. I remember what I said to be honest, even thought it was fourteen years ago. I said; 'Dear God, I have been blessed with a big sister who loves me so I need to repay her for the love she's given. So I bless this forget-me-not and hope for many fantastic years with her.'" I looked into her eyes and she grinned while tears fell down.
"You are blessed, Caitlyn Alice." She smiled. I started crying and my mascara was streaked down my face. "You see? This is why you shouldn't get sisters! We're too emotional! Off, come on." Cornie said pushing me up and grabbing my hand while the room laughed.
...
After two hours of giving gifts, I had received: a charm bracelet with all our initials (Shane, Mitchie, Jason, Mara, Nate and me) engraved on it from Jason and Shane. New DJ decks from Tim. A 'Best Sister' necklace from CJ(Cornelia, Cornie, CoCo). Temporary tatoos from Mitchie and Mara which were personalised, all our names. Chocolates from loads of people. (I already got a gift from Mom, remember? Record Label? Yeah!). And various other stuff!
Most of the guests began to leave till there was only Mitchie, Mara, Shane, Thea, Nate and Jason staying. We were having a sleepover and we were all sat on the living room floor in our pyjamas.
"Can we play truth or dare? Please!" Thea asked. We all rolled our eyes but agreed, reluctantly.
"How about just truth, please?" Mara asked. Thea shrugged and nodded. "Okay I start. Thea have you done the dirty on any guy?" Mara asked. Thea shook her head and Mara raised her brow.
"I've had loads of boyfriends, but the long-term relationship I am in now is going slow and steady. His name is Roy and he's my age, has the same birthday! Eeep! And I've been thinking of sleeping with him but I guess we're both not ready." She said.
"Good! I ain't having my little sister doing anything dirty!" I said, playfully.
"Little? Please! I'm only a month younger than you!" Thea said. I shrugged and she asked the next question. "Shane? Will you like to marry Mitchie in the future?" Shane blushed.
"Yeah." He said. Mitchie grinned like a Cheshire cat and hugged him.
"Wow! Your turn Shane!" Thea exclaimed.
"Hmm, Nate. Do you think Caitlyn is a bit too arrogant?" My eyes widened and my mouth shot open. Everyone looked between me and Nate and I pointed my finger to myself. I shook my head. "I asked Nate, Cait!" Shane smirked.
"She isn't too arrogant. In fact, she isn't. She's brave enough to stand for her feelings and I give her credit." Nate said boldly. I grinned and kissed him. Loads of groans and awes filled the room.
"Shut up!" I said to our friends, blushing. "Nate, your turn." I said. He thought for a while.
"Mara! What was embarrassing in your life?" He asked. Mara looked at me and shrugged. I nodded and she shook her head. I kept mouthing yes and she mouthed no. Everyone looked between us, wearing confused faces. She finally, gave in.
"Fine Cait! I was a geek and a nerd. I had very embarrassing braces and large round glasses with loads of freckles. I looked horrible! I obvs wear contacts now, and I got my braces out months ago." She confessed. All of us, except me, wore shocked faces.
"S'alright! We were once embarrassed about our looks, Mazzy-Cakes. Anyways, since you've already asked a question, I'll ask. Jason, would you have still liked Mara when she was... you know." Mitchie asked. Jason looked at Mara with a sincere look in his eyes and smiled.
"Yeah, not what's on the outside but what's in the inside." He said. We all awed and smiled. "Ok, Mitchie's turn!" We all looked at her and grinned. "Did you really steal Tess' bracelet?" He asked. Mitchie looked at me and we looked at everyone in shocked expressions.
"No! She lied!" We looked at each other. "Jinx!" We looked at everyone. "Jinx! Hey, stop that! You're Jinxing us. Stop!" We flew back laughing our heads off. Everyone laughed, either at us Jinxing each other or with us. Anyway it was funny so we didn't care.
When we calmed down, Jason asked something that I didn't want to hear. "So, you guys ok with us leaving for tour for six months?" Mitchie's and my face fell. Mara's remained unfazed. She knew. "Oh I thought you two knew..." Jason looked away and we shook our heads.
"But, you're going to miss Valentines Day, birthdays, Prom and Graduation." I whispered. Did I mention, Mitchie transferred to our school a couple of months ago. "Why didn't you tell me, Nate?" I asked, looking down. "We've barely been together for four months. Why Wolfie?" I asked, a stray tear fell down my cheek and onto the plush white carpet beneath us.
"When were you planning to tell me, too?" Mitchie asked Shane who looked away, not wanting to meet her eyes. "Maybe when you were on the plane, flying to wherever it is?" She snapped. "So you thought you could disappear for six months, huh?" Mitchie said. I was normally the one to flip out and snap but I felt broken so Mitchie took over.
"Maybe we need a break. I mean, this isn't a big commitment to you, so yeah, a break would do." I snapped. Everyone looked at me, shocked. I raised my brow, and turned into full on 'bitch' mode. "Well, since I got silence from you, you agree. Ladies, shall we go to my humble sleeping chamber?" I asked, summoning my friends. Mara, Mitchie and Thea followed me up the spiral stairs and into my bedroom. I shut the door quietly with a click. If Tim, CoCo and Alice were asleep, I don't think they'll like the loud noises. I also locked my door.
We heard Shane and Nate yelling quietly at Jason who I could imagine, shrugging at most of what they said. I heard Nate complain that he'd just lost his girlfriend and friend in a matter of one minute. I looked at my girlfriends(not that we're lesbians! It's just what we call each other, like, 'What's up, girlfriend?!' Ok?) and they looked at me sadly but smiling.
I sighed and smiled and invited them into my king-sized bed and we slept.
Sorry for the delay. I had exams which are officially over, cheer for me now! Next chapter, the boys leave and it will focus on their six month tour. Caitlyn's and Nate's POV, so looked forward fopr that! Reviews are wanted though. I need about 5 to update. Guest and all! Criticism accepted, depending on what they say. If they're rude or insulting, I would wish you keep them to yourselfs. If you want to see anything happen in this story, please do write a review about it. I am going to add Director's Cuts very soon and it will be focused on our favourite six! Shane, Mitchie, Nate, Caitlyn, Jason, Mara. And our favourite others! Thea, Tim, Cornelia, and Mike. And obvs other people! Thanks for reading this for this long. Again, so sorry for updating now instead of before!
Luv u, Bex!
