Zach POV
We're going to Macey's house today because it's Preston's birthday! Tonight they are hosting a huge party at a mansion about ¾ of the size of Gallagher so they needed our help setting up. We got there right at 9 ready to start planning and a long day of setting up. Once inside we left Sophie with their nanny, who was already playing with Liam and Grace, and went to the kitchen. Preston was hanging streamers from the ceiling and Macey was cooking something. I went over to Preston and started helping him hang them up. Macey and Cammie were already in deep conversation. Not too long after we showed up, Bex, Grant, Liz and Jonas showed up and asked what they could do. Bex and Grant were assigned other decorations, Liz was supposed to go and help their nanny with all the kids and Jonas went to go make sure the security system was intact and working.
10 MINUTES BEFORE PARTY STARTS
Macey POV
All the decorations were up, all the food was made, and all the kids were wearing cute clothes. I think this party will be great! I go to the nursery to check on the kids. Liz is talking to our wonderful nanny, Cathleen, and is dressing Evelyn in a pink dress and tights. My mental clock tells me its 7:00 and that the guests will be here soon. I stop in one of the living rooms (this house is huge, like ¾ the size of Gallagher huge!) and tell Bex and Grant to go get ready, then stop in the kitchen for Zach and Cammie to know the same information.
The doorbell rings and I hurry to get it. Rachel, Joe, and their 13 year old walks in all dressed very nice. Rachel is wearing a long purple dress with one strap, Joe is wearing a tux with a purple tie to match Rachel and Clayton (their 13 year old) is wearing an outfit identical to his dads except it has a green tie. I lead them into the living room and start talking. Cammie, Zach, Bex, Grant, Liz, and Jonas walk in. Cammie is wearing a blue dress with no straps, Bex is wearing a pink one shoulder dress, and Liz with a green to blue ombre strappy dress.
They join our conversation after all the hugs and you're getting so tall and etc… from everyone. We get around to the topic of school. Clayton just started at the Gallagher Academy (they made it for boys too) and he likes it so far. For one his dad is the coveops teacher and his mom is the headmistress. How much better can you get? He says he likes it but kind of mumbles. Clayton gets up and walks to the kitchen "hey Macey, I think the cake is burning" he shouts. CRAP! I burned my husband's cake! I run into the kitchen and see Clayton playing a game on his new iPhone. I look in the oven and sure enough, the vanilla and chocolate swirl cake is burned and my oven is on the verge of catching on fire.
Preston POV
I'm so glad it's my birthday! Since I have the best friends ever I'm not surprised that we had a party. We invited the whole gang over and I've been having so much fun! Someone rang the doorbell and I yelled, "I'll get it!" I walked to the door and saw a man dressed in black before I could say anything he grabbed me and stuck something on my arm. After about two seconds I was pulled in to unconsciousness.
Clayton POV
I heard the doorbell ring and walked to the railing to see who it was just as Preston yelled, "I'll get it." I watched him open it and look outside before a big guy in black slapped something on his arm and he went unconscious. "CAMMIE!" I yelled. She came running in "What is it Clayton?" She asked worry dripping from every word. "It's Preston, he's been taken."
