Lily Edwards is in a tough spot and goes to bondi to clear her head. What happens results in a changed life, some trauma, a job and a boyfriend, Mouse, she loves it, but suddenly her life gets a thousand times better
LILY 6:00 AM I woke up next to Mouse, he was awake, but really sleepy looking, and super cute. My room if I'm honest had been abandoned the past couple weeks at least. I kissed his hair before sitting up, and looking at my finger again, my heart soared seeing my gorgeous engagement ring on my finger.

I smiled and got out of bed, I walked out of or room and smelled some breakfast cooking I looked at the kitchen curiously to see a very sleepy looking Harrison making bacon and eggs. I grinned and sat down noisily on the couch, making Harrison jump, "ow, urgh, god dammit!" He sputtered jumping up and down in pain. I groaned, "bro, what'd you do?" I called. "Fuckin, pan-juices." He groaned. I facepalmed and went to try and help his burn. "Harrison, run it under cold water, okay?" I said, rubbing his back, he nodded, "I wanted to surprise you since it's your birthday." He grunted. "Oh, is it really?" I asked, shocked. He nodded, "yeah, it is, March 8th." He said. I smiled, pleased that at least my brother knew my birthday. "Lege, warning you, the boys will have something planned," he chuckled. I groaned and sat down cross legged on the floor pouting. "Lege, you're 19, not 5." Harrison muttered, pouting himself over his burned hand. I sighed and got up, "okay, I'll finish the bacon," I said. He nodded, and went to get a bandage for his burn.
"Lege, so, we each have a gift for you." Harrison said, as I sat down to breakfast, "aw, thanks you two," I smiled. Harrison grinned, pulling out a bag. He handed it over the table to me, and I grabbed it, "go in, open it, it's from mum, dad, Emma, and I." He said impatiently. I opened it hesitantly, and I grinned as I pulled out the first item, a new set of pink nose goggles. I pulled out the next thing, which was a Starbucks gift card, "no fucking way, I love Starbucks!" I said excitedly, immediately grabbing the next thing, which was sea salt caramels. "I've been craving these," I said, Harrison chuckled, "I know, I hear you singing about them under your breath, everyone knows these are your favorite," he said, chucking two more containers at me. I screeched and dodged them, but picked them up after they hit the wall. "Thanks Harrison!" I giggled, giving him a big hug. "Lege, I got one for you," Mouse said, nervously, handing me a small box. I smiled, "thanks, baby," I opened it and saw two plane tickets, I heart dropped and I looked at the location, London, England. I smiled at him, and shrieked in excitement, before running into his arms and kissing his lips. "I love you Mouse!" I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "I love you too, baby, and good for that, because you're stuck with me for life." He said, kissing my forehead. "Well, let us go!" I smiled, sticking the plane tickets carefully into the box and sticking the box into our safe. I linked arms with boys and I walked them to the beach.
"Hello, boys and Our birthday girl." Harries said, grinning like a mad cat. I smiled nervously. And more of the boys filtered in, Jethro tapped me on the shoulder and engulfed me in a big excited hug. We jumped up and down smiling like little kids, since we were best friends and learned that we had been best friends when we were 9-13 before I had moved to Florida. "Lege, you're 19!!!" He exclaimed like a child, Mouse chuckled at our excitement as I screamed back, "I know, I know!" We chilled out and Deano gave me a hug and a small flower from their garden. I hugged him back and collected a water bottle to stick it in, so it would survive the day. I got happy birthdays from everyone else and Hoppo walked in. "Hey, boys and Legend, so, first, happy birthday Lege," he said. The boys cheered again and I blushed, wanting to fade into the background. "But, we have a job to do, so, Lege, Jethro, and Mouse, you're at North Bondi, since Lege, your ankle still needs to fully heal," I pulled them out before we could finish hearing who was where, but we did remember our mics. I dragged then out to the buggy and hopped into the drivers seat, leaving Mouse for passenger seat and Jethro for the back. "You Bumbling shit muffin," he muttered, sitting down, "oh, you wanna call me that?" I giggled, pulling down the sand and stopping quickly, causing him to bash through the divider. I giggled as we got out. I looked around, no rip signs, so who knows what would happen today?
"Mouse, stop it, they're filming," I squealed as he put his hand gently on my waistline. He grinned and kissed my cheek, "no can do beautiful." He chuckled. I suddenly remembered my engagement, and grinned, waggling the ring in his face. "Ah, yeah, babe, love you." He smiled. I smiled at him back and kissed his cheek. "Ooh, Jeff, I have newsss." I giggled, pulling him out of his focus, "what, Lege, what's up?" He murmured. "I'm engaged!" I squealed at him. I saw his jaw drop and he engulfed me into a big hug, "Legend!!!" He exclaimed, "I'm so proud of you guys!" I smiled and caught Mouse's eye. He blushed and I giggled, "Jethro, out my fiancé down, she needs to do a rescue," mouse cut through Jeff's excitement, he grinned and put me down, I nodded, immediately serious, "okay, where, what age?" I asked, "young male, right in front of the rocks." Mouse said. I nodded seeing the hand, and a rip. I grabbed my board and ran over to the water.
I bolted into the water and jumped on my board. I started paddling and went out, I didn't see the man, causing me a little worry, I got through a wave and saw him again. I paddled harder, "mate, Oi, stay with me, keep swimming, I'm almost there!" I yelled, I paddled harder through each wave, which was getting bigger wave by wave, "mate, grab the board." I instructed the man, he nodded, his face pale, but he was conscious. "Good, you're okay, climb on, on your belly, and facing front." I said. He nodded, and climbed on. "Good, we'll go in now, but swim between the flags mate, please," I said, leaning down to start paddling back, we caught a wave and headed back to shore perfectly.
"Good, mate, that was textbook!" Jethro said giving me a fist bump. I smiled, and caught Mouse's eye, you best know where he was looking. "Oh, stop it." I complained, punching his shoulder. He smiled and pulled me into a big bear hug, "love you baby," he said, kissing my cheek. "Love you too, but, bubs, we need to be professional, we're at work and I'm newer than you." I said, letting him slap my butt. "Okay, staring after today though." He said sheepishly. I groaned, and sat down in the rhino. He chuckled, and I smiled slightly. ..........., 7:00 PM I walked back to our apartment with Mouse, "ugh, why were we here longest?" I whined. "I don't know, Lege." He said, unconvincingly. I rolled my eyes and leaned into his arm. We got close to the apartment, when I heard laughing and a big crash, Mouse groaned and I couldn't help but giggle. "Mouse, what are you forgetting to tell me, eh?" I asked. He shook his head, "nope," I grinned, leaning into him as we kept walking.
We walked in to the door,"surprise, happy birthday Legend, we love you!" The boys yelled, I smiled tears welling into my eyes. "Thank you boys!" I exclaimed, getting a bug group hug. "Of course Lege, now let's get you your gifts." Harries said, getting everybodies' attention. "This one right here, would appreciate her gifts!" He called. I blushed, and rolled my eyes, as the boys sat me down and started piling, and I mean piling presents and gifts around me. I opened the one from Harries, which was a bottle of wine, I got a box of sea salt caramels from Deano, Jethro got me a candle, which I loved, Hoppo gave me a nice card with a gift card, and there was a joint gift, which had car keys in it. I looked at them, shocked,"Go on, we wouldn't prank you on this," Harries said, leading me out to the car park, where a brand new dark blue jeep wrangler was sitting. I burst into tears and hugged each of the boys, "thank you guys so much!" I cried. "What is that on your finger?" Jesse asked. I looked down, "Mouse and I got engaged last night," I said, giving a happy, but teary smile. The boys silenced, looked at me, and then started cheering and hugging both of us. I smiled as we were jostled around by about 10 rowdy guys.
"This was the best birthday ever!" I said, hugging each of the boys as they left. I sat down on the couch and burst into happy tears. Mouse scooted closer to me, "aw, Lege what's up?" He asked, "I just love you guys so much, never had a birthday this good before." I whispered between sobs. "Aw, Lege of course,e we all love you, you're a sister to all of them and the perfect fiancée for me," he said pulling me into a big hug, "i-i love you Mouse." I whispered. "I love you too, and that means we made the best decision." He smiled, "also, sweetheart, I was trying to wait to propose until we got to London, but I couldn't wait, does that tell you anything? He asked, I nodded, "you love me unconditionally and forever, but I love you more than that," I whispered, "that's right, but I have to love you more," he said. I shook my head, "I love you most." I whispered, leaning my head onto his shoulder.
