Knock knock

"Of course someone knocks." I stand up for a third time and opened the door.

"Dinner's ready and Susan wants us to go down." Aaron says then turns and walks away.

"Okay, let's go Hayes." I pull Hayes off of my bed and start walking for the elevator at the end of the hall until Hayes picks me up bridal style. "Hayes let me go!"

"I can't do that, I'm sorry." Hayes walks into the elevator then sets me down.

We get down to the first floor and see everyone outside. I open the French doors in the kitchen and walk outside with Hayes following me. Everyone was sitting somewhere either in chairs or on the grass. I made my way over to the food and got a plate then went and sat down by Matt, Cam, Nash, Wesley, and Shawn. I sit in between Cam and Shawn. All of us are eating and playing a short game of Never Have I Ever. We didn't have alcohol so we just stuck with fruit punch.

After about an hour, Aunt Susan called everyone inside to the living room so I could open my gifts "Okay kids, come into the living room so Callie can open her gifts."

Everyone stood up and started making their way into the house. Once everyone is seated, Aunt Susan brings out a butt load of gifts. I couldn't help but gasp. There were a bunch of little bags or boxes probably from the guys. Then, there were about 5 huge boxes that must've been from my aunt and family members. I decided to wait to open the big ones last so I started grabbing little gifts. The first gift I picked up was from Hayes, Nash, and Skylyn. I open the box that is about the size of an iPhone box. Inside the box wasn't a phone or jewelry. It was candy. I wasn't mad considering I love candy, I just laugh and thank Nash and Hayes.

"Sky wanted us to put her name on it too." Nash laughed.

"Tell her thank you the next time you see her."

The next box I pick up was from Jack and Jack. It was in a little bag with cute cupcake tissue paper. I take out the tissue paper and look inside the bag. Inside, there was a Starbucks gift card for $25. I look at Johnson and see him smiling.

"Thank you Jack." I stood up and hugged him. I then looked at Gilinsky and sat back down.

I opened all of my little gifts in boxes or bags. I mostly got candy which I was perfectly fine with. They all just made mistakes, "I'm going to be on a sugar high for the rest of my life. Thank you guys," Everyone starts laughing, "but, I'm going to be really annoying every now and then on the bus considering I have enough candy now that'll last my entire life." Everyone just laughs harder then stops after a couple minutes. I got kind of sad because I realized everyone but Cam got me a gift. Well, it's okay. He probably got me a birthday present.

I start opening my big presents and look to see who they were from. My Aunt and Uncle, Aunt Susan, My grandma and grandpa, my other grandma and grandpa, and the last one was from my dad.

I decide to open my grandparent's, on my dad's side of the family (if that makes sense), gift first. I rip off the wrapping paper and open the box. I looked in amazement to see a pair of Ugg boots.

I open my other grandparent's gift to see they got me a t-shirt that said Ed Sheeran on it. I look underneath that and see that they got me his CD too. I smile and put it back into the box to make sure I don't loose it.

I open my aunt and uncle's present next to see they got me a pair of white furry slippers and two pairs of leggings. "I swear, my whole family thinks I'm a total white girl." I laugh and put them into the box with my Ed Sheeran gifts.

Next, I open Aunt Susan's gift to see she got me two new hoodies, a speaker, and concert tickets to see Shawn. I look up and just stare at her with my mouth open. "Aunt Susan, I can't take this. This is too much." I start handing her the box but then she shoves it back to me, causing me to fall back onto the couch.

"No, you can take this. 1. Because I know how much you love hoodies. 2. Because you need a speaker so you don't have to listen to only your phone that you can barely hear. 3. I know you'll miss Shawn when you're on tour and he is too so it would be good for you to go seem him. 4. I don't need that money, I have enough," everyone laughed at that, "and 5. You deserve it." I stand up and give her a big hug.

"Thank you so much. I love you. Thank you for making me happy and always being here for me." We pull away from the hug and I sit back down in my spot.

I open my last present. It's from my dad. It's a picture frame that is white and has little white window/shutters over the glass. I open them to see a picture of my family when I was about 5 years old. My mom, dad, brother, and I were all playing in the yard together. My mom was pushing me on a swing while my dad pushing my brother on a swing too.

*Flashback*

"Mommy come push me! Brubber is bad at it." I turn around on the swing and glare at Tony.

"Not my fault I can't reach you!" Tony crosses his arms and walks to another swing.

"I'm coming Bug hold on!" I look over to see my mom and dad jogging to the swings while holding hands.

"I'll push you Tony." My dad lets go of my mom's hand and goes behind Tony's swing and starts pushing him while mom is walking over to a lady who is walking with her little boy.

"I'm sorry to bother you but could you take a picture of us?" My mom asks while handing the lady her phone.

"Of course! Matt will you hold this?" The lady bends down to the little boy and gives him a water bottle. The little boy nods and grabs the bottle.

"Thank you so much!" My mom starts jogging to the back of my swing and starts pushing me. "Everybody smile!"

We all smile and hear a click of a camera go off. My mom walks back over to the lady and I follow. "Thank you." My mom takes her phone back and I stand by her side and look at the little boy.

I was about to say hi when someone came up behind me and picks me up. Soon I am on my dads shoulders.

After a couple minutes, the lady walked away and we went back to the swings.

I miss those days. Everything has changed now. My mom is dead, my dad is in jail, my brother is missing, and I'm alone. I have no one but the guys and Aunt Susan.

I felt a bunch of people hug me and bring me back from my flashback. I looked up to see all of the guys, but Gilinsky, hugging me. I hug them all back and we soon separate. Cam puts his thumbs on my face and wipes my falling tears.

"Thank you guys for always helping me through tough times. I can always count on you guys. I love you." I wipe the rest of my tears away and stand up hugging everyone.

"We love you too. You can always talk to us about anything and can always trust us." Taylor said while all the other guys nodded their heads.

Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been kinda busy but I kinda want to start something with this book.

I'm reading a fan fiction that does it every chapter too. So, it's like a goal she has. She asks her readers to comment and vote for her story. So one chapter she will probably say, "20 comments and 50 votes!"

I want to start that.

So for my first goal I want to do, could we get this chapter to 5 comments and 15 votes? Then when we reach that goal, I will post a new chapter before next Wednesday.

I hope you guys read this whole A/N haha sorry it's so long😁

But I'll update soon! Bye!
