Cat P.O.V

I have no idea where we are going; Rocky won't tell me. "It's a surprise." Is the only thing he says when I ask.

We arrive at an airport. Rocky hands the lady at the desk two tickets. They nod at each other while Rocky walks ahead. "Where are we going?" I ask the lady just when Rocky grabs my arm and drags me into plane.

Ashley P.O.V

I asked Ross to drive me home because, well, we do live together. Riker asked to join but Ross made an excuse.

"What did you say to him?" "That we had errands to do." "You make it sound like we're- WAIT! MY MOM!" "Ashley, please." Ross shook his head in disgust. "Not that!" I punched his shoulder. "She told me to visit her. So lets just go now."

Ross typed my mom's address into the GPS and we arrived after an hour.

"I'm nervous." I said when we walked up to the door. "Relax." He put one hand around my waist and used the other to knock.

My mom answered quickly. "Hey!" She smiled and hugged me. "Hi.." "Sit down. I'll make you two some coffee."

We looked around her house, because we've never seen it before. And it looks...comfy. We sat on the couch. Ross grabbed my hand.

My mom came out in a few minutes. "Well I need to talk to you." "If it's about paying for the house then we can start looking for jobs. We just wanna lay low for a while." "No no, it's not that." My mom handed us our coffee and continued. "So your father recently passed-" I cringed "- and he had a will. He remembered you but was too ashamed to call. So he left some things to you for when the time has come. I collected them for you." She handed me a briefcase.

I gave it to Ross because I was too scared to look. He pulled out some jewelry and then took out a piece of cardboard. He gasped. "What?"

I turned the briefcase towards me and fainted.

Ratliff P.O.V

We were waiting for Ross and Ash. Riker said they had errands to do, and we all know what that meant. "Someone go get them." Stormie said. I offered to go and Rydel tagged along. The walk took us two minutes but I tried to walk slower. "Still getting hate on twitter?" She asked. "Yeah." I answered.

There was an awkward silence until we got to the door. "Can I ask you something?" I said. "Yeah." "Why did you and Chase really break up?" "Because of Twitter. He was upset that we actually dated and that you still hang around and I told him to get lost." She went to knock when I said "Thanks." "For what?" "Choosing to keep me as a friend than stay with him."

She leaned in and kissed me when we heard chearing. We looked at the Lynch's window when Riker stood up and patted Ryland's back to step away from the window. Ryland gave us a thumbs up and walked away.

I interlocked our fingers and used the other hand to knock on the door. No answer. I knocked again. Nothing. I twisted the doorknob and it was open. But the whole time I was thinking 'Are we together or not?'

"Ashley! Ross!" Rydel screamed. But the place was dark and quiet. Then we heard shuffling. We walked to the dining room.

"Guys, here, really? Ew." I flicked the light switch and noticed that it wasn't them, it was a robber.
