Yess, this is the chapter you have all been waiting for! I hope you like it;).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sade I know I said I wouldn't bring this up but you said-"
I step closer, closing the gap between us, and lean in and kiss him. He cups his hand on my cheek, deepening the kiss. Its like the first time we kissed all over again, it just feels right. After a bit I pull away.
"I know what I said." I tell him.
His smile right now is so big. I laugh a bit.
"What?" He asks.
"You're smiling so big." I say.
"I can't help it." He says.
I smile and lean in and kiss him again. Theres a knock on the door and Austin and I pull away.
"Come in." I say.
My Dad comes through the door.
"Hey, I heard Austin is going back to Miami tomorrow." He says.
"Yeah.." I say.
"I just came to tell you that you can't say goodbye to him." He says.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because you don't need to, Heather and I talked and we both agreed that the three of us should move to Miami."
"You're lying!" I say.
"No, I'm not." He says.
I smile and run up to hug him.
"You're the best!" I say.
"You're welcome." He says.
"You better get packing so we can leave as soon as possible. You might not see Austin for a few weeks but I think you can handle that if it means we'll be living near him." He says.
I smile.
"Okay." I say.
He starts to leave.
"Oh and Dad?" I say.
"Yeah?" He says, turing around.
I go back over to Austin and grab his hand.
"You two are back together." He points out.
I smile and nod.
"Yes. Yes we are." I say.
"Im so happy for you two." He says.
Then he leaves. I turn to Austin.
"Looks like we won't have to be facetiming all the time." I say.
"Thank goodness." He says.
"You know I always keep my promises." I tell him.
"I know but since it was so sudden that I was leaving tomorrow that I wasn't sure if you were ready yet."
"Well I am." I say.
"Are you sure? Because I don't think I could tell by the way you kissed me." He teases.
I smile and roll my eyes.
"You want to tell the guys?" He asks.
"I do, but how about instead of just telling them up front, we drop hints and see how long it takes them to figure it out." I say.
"Sounds interesting." He says.
"But we can invite them over to tell them that I, along with Dad and Heather, am moving to Miami." I say.
"Alright, i'll text them."
Soon all three of the boys are over.
"So I gathered you guys here to tell you something." I start.
"Actually Austin is the one who texted us to come over." Zach points out.
"That's not the point, the point is that I have something very exciting to tell you guys." I say.
"You and Austin are finally back together?!" Alex asks.
"Thats not what I am going to tell you." I say.
Hint number one: I didn't say no to answer Alex's question.
"Man, I was so sure." He says.
"So my dad talked to Heather and they both agreed that all three of us should move to Miami!" I tell them.
"Really? That's great Sadie!" Robert says.
"The girls will be so happy to see you." Alex says.
"And I can't wait to see them." I say.
"When do you think you'll get there?" Zach asks.
"I am going to be working really hard this week to pack and hopefully will be driving out there by next week. I want to get there as soon as possible because I don't want to be away from Austin...and you guys for too long." I say.
Hint number two: I paused for a split second after I said Austin.
"Cool, well we are so happy that you are coming to live there." Robert says.
"Me too." I say.
"This is great news Sadie." Alex says.
I smile then look at Austin.
"Im very excited for everything that is to come." I say.
Hint number three: looking at Austin while I said that and meaning that I'm looking forward to being with him more but they think I mean moving to Miami.
"Wait a second, when I asked you if you two were dating again you didn't say no, then you said you didn't want to be away from us but made it clear that you really just didn't want to be away from Austin and then lastly you just looked at him in a way you wouldn't look at him if you weren't dating and implied that you're excited for things that are going to happen between you two, not things that will happen after moving to Miami. You two did get back together!" Alex says.
"Wow Alex, I'm surprised you noticed my hints that quick." I say.
"So it's true?! You two are back together?!"
Austin and I look at each other and smile then look back at the boys.
"Yes, we are back together." Austin says.
"Finally!" Alex yells.
"See I still don't understand why everybody was so insistent on Austin and I getting back together!" I say.
"Because you guys are both happier when you are together, and even happier when you are dating. We could all tell that both of you were not going to be the same until you got back together. You two belong with each other and we all want you guys to be happy." Alex explains.
"I guess thats a good reason."
"Permission to tweet about this?" Alex asks.
I laugh.
"Sure."
I look at Austin.
"Im so excited!" I say then jump up and wrap my legs around his waist and hug him.
"You have no idea." Austin says into my neck.
Then my phone goes off, letting me know that I have a notification. I hop down and look at my phone. I see that Alex has mentioned me in a tweet on twitter. I open up the app and look at the tweet, it says: "When your OTP gets back together. @Sadie_Daniels @AustinMahone" and it has a picture of just now when I jumped on Austin.
"So we're your OTP huh?" I ask Alex.
"Yeah you are!" He says.
I laugh.
Almost immediately people start mentioning Austin and I in tweets. One says: "They're my OTP too."
Another says: "YESS! FINALLY! YOU TWO WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER."
"Seems like everyone likes the fact that we are back together." I say.
"Oh yeah." Austin says.
"Alright, well I think I'm going to start telling people that I'm going to be moving for good." I say.
"Like who?"
"Really only Rhett, Logan, and Ashton." I say.
"Logan and Ashton? Really?" Austin says.
"They're still my friends, Austin and they deserve to know." I say.
"Okay, i'll come with you." He says.
"No, I want to do this alone." I say.
He comes closer to where I'm looking up at him.
"If thats what you want to do then, okay." He says.
"You're not going to argue that Logan abused me and I should't go see him or that Ashton treated me badly and he won't care if I move?" I ask him.
"Nope. You're just going to go and tell them anyways, I can't stop you." He says.
"You're right. Well I'll be back in like five minutes." I say.
"I know." He says.
Then he leans down and kisses me softly.
Then I leave to start telling the three people the news. First I go to Rhett's. I knock on the door and Rhett opens it.
"Hey girl!" She says.
"Hey!" I say.
"I saw Alex's tweet." She says.
"Yeah." I say with a smile.
"And I'm kind of upset that you didn't come and tell me and that I had to hear it from twitter." She says.
"Well it literally just happened."
"Oh okay. So why did you come?" She asks.
"I-my-Austin is going back to Miami tomorrow." I say.
"Aww. So you won't get to see him much, and you guys just got back together." She says.
"Actually my dad told me this morning that him and Heather talked about it...and they decide we would move to Miami, so it won't be so hard on us." I tell her.
"So...you're leaving me for good this time." She states.
"I'll be back to visit. Plus you have tons of other friends and a boyfriend." I say.
"But none of them are you." She says.
"Im sorry, I'm not the one who decided we were going, in fact I was prepared to stay here and facetime Austin every chance I got." I tell her.
"Well I'm not going to keep you away from Austin, even though I'm you're best friend I know that he was your best friend first. And even though I do have lots of other friends I'm still going to miss you like crazy." She says.
"I'll miss you like crazy too." I say.
We both smile then hug.
"Alright, well I'm off to tell Logan and Ashton the news." I say.
"Good luck with that." She says.
"Thanks." I say.
"By the way, do you want help packing?" She asks.
"That would be great!" I say.
"Okay, just text me when to come over."
"I will." I say then go out the door.
Next I go to Ashton's house. I knock on the door and Kealie answers.
"Hi." I say.
She's smiling really big.
"I know what you're thinking. You saw Alex's tweet didn't you?" I say.
She nods.
"Do you know how happy this makes me?!" She says.
I laugh a bit.
"Well I'm glad we could make you happy...but umm could I speak to your brother?" I ask.
"Sure. Ashton!" She yells.
"What?!" He yells back.
"Sadie's here to see you!" She yells.
He doesn't say anything but I can hear him run down the stairs. He comes to the doorway.
"Kealie go." He says.
"But I-" she starts.
"Go." He says again.
She leaves and Ashton steps onto the front porch and closes the door behind him.
"Hi." He says.
"Hi." I say back.
"How uhh-how are you doing?" He asks, rubbing the back of his neck.
All guys do that when they are nervous.
"I'm great, actually." I say.
"Oh thats- thats awesome."
I nod.
"What about you?" I ask him.
"I'm good." He says.
"Well I just came over because I thought you should know that I'm moving to Miami." I say.
"Oh wow thats cool. Are you moving there to be closer to Austin?" He asks.
"Yes."
"Are you two back together?" He asks.
"Yeah we are." I say.
Awkward.
"Well I'm happy for you two."
"Thanks, um just to let you know Austin and I decide we were going to get back together not long after you and I broke up but I told him we should wait."
"Why?"
"Because of you, I didn't want you to think I was a jerk for going from you straight to him."
"I wouldn't- I could never think that about you." He says.
I smile and nod.
"So I just thought it would be good to come and tell you that I'm moving because you're my friend and you deserve to know." I say.
"Well thank you, that really means a lot." He says.
"No problem, I'll try my best to stay in touch." I tell him.
"Okay. Bye Sadie." He says.
"Bye Ashton."
I leave and head over to Logan's. The door opens and Sarah is standing there.
"What are you doing here?" She asks.
"I need to talk to Logan." I say.
"Well you can't sorry." She says, then starts to close the door.
I stop it with my hand.
"That's not your choice." I say.
Then Logan comes up.
"Whats going on here?" He asks.
"I need to talk to you." I tell him.
Sarah gives him a stern look.
"I'm sorry, I'm kind of busy right now." He says.
Wow. I can't believe he just rejected me, thats not like him.
"Okay, if thats what you want. Goodbye Logan." I say.
Then I go back to my house. I get inside and it seems like no one is here.
"Anyone here?" I ask.
"I am." I hear Austin say, then he comes around the corner.
"How did everyone react?" He asks.
"Well Rhett was upset but I know she'll get over it, Ashton was nervous the whole time and I couldn't tell if he cared or not, and I didn't get to talk to Logan because that little witch has him under her spell." I say.
"Sarah is making him stay away from you?" He asks.
"Yeah and I thought that he wouldn't be okay with that but I guess he just cares about having a girlfriend more than a friend." I say.
"Im sorry, but I did get something that will make you feel better." He says.
"What?"
He pulls out a bouquet if daisies from behind his back.
"Austin! Theres are beautiful." I say.
"I knew you'd like them." He says.
"Thank you." I say with a smile.
He smiles back.
"You're welcome."
I go into the kitchen and fill a vase with water then put the flowers in it.
"So are you going to start packing today?" He asks.
"No. I'm going to spend as much time I as I can with you and then after you leave tomorrow I will start packing." I tell him.
He wraps his arms around my waist.
"Sounds good to me."
"So what do you want to do?" I ask.
"Well it's getting kind of late how about we watch a movie." He suggests.
"Okay, sure. What movie?"
"I don't know, what if we just pick a random movie and watch all the way through no matter how horrible it is." He says.
"Sounds interesting, lets do it!"
So we go upstairs and pick a random movie on Netflix and start watching it. Soon my eyes start to get heavy so I lay down. Austin lays down with me and wraps his arms around my stomach. I smile and look back at him. He smiles then leans down and kisses me. Then we pull away and turn our attention back to probably the most boring movie i've ever seen. Before long my eyes get too heavy to keep open and I fall asleep.
