I enter the house and I take a double take as Evan places a bong in the table.

"Evan! What the-!" He interrupts my shout.

"Don't worry, I'm not using it for that." He walks out to get a bottle of water.

"Evan..." I whisper. "Evan..." I continue.

"Seriously, Freya. Don't be concerned." He stops me from talking and I put my hand on my hip and wait impatiently as he fills the bong up with water.

He rushes into his bedroom and brings back a bouquet of flowers. I sigh and laugh.

"Seriously? You could have just asked us to get a flower vase?" I laugh aloud and exhale loudly.

"Well, I could've, but I didn't." He smirks and throws himself on the sofa.

"So," I say, "Who are the flowers from?" I smirk and lean against the wall.

"Oh, no one special." He itches his head uncomfortably and stands up.

"I'm gonna go help Del, see ya in a bit." He waves and quickly walks out the back door and into the garden.

I sigh to myself. What's with Evan and Jonathan all of a sudden? I think for a moment... Wait... They're not... Surely not... No, never.

"Freya?" I hear Lui call from the kitchen.

"What's up?" I say, standing up and looking in the kitchens direction.

"Can you help me, please?" He peers round the corner at me.

"Yeah, sure." I walk around the sofa and into the kitchen.

"What is it?" I ask.

"This..." I look down at the chicken and burst out laughing.

"Oh my god, what did you do to it!?" I say, between hard laughs.

"Well, I don't know!" He says, itching his neck whilst laughing.

"Pass me the breadcrumbs." He slides the bowl along the counter to me.

I grab a bit of chicken & dunk it in milk, then the breadcrumbs. I repeat until Lui gets it. I slap him playfully on the cheek with some breadcrumbs, he grabs the bowl and throws it over me, missing my head. My mouth drops and I go into hug him to spread the breadcrumbs over him, he laughs and tries to run away. I start to walk away before he grabs my waist and pulls me in for a kiss, as soon as it starts, it's over and we both carry on with our jobs.

A smirk comes across my face and I try to wipe it off but it turns into a giggle. I smile again and walk into our bedroom, I open the wardrobe and pull ripped denim shorts out and a plain crop top. I hurriedly put it on and apply some makeup.

**TIME SKIP**

20 minutes later, I walk out of the bedroom and see Brock and Scotty bringing burger patties out to the garden, I take my hair out of the hair tie and walk out to the garden.
I see everyone with drinks, dancing. I smirk and admire my friends- family, for a moment. I see Lui walk in my direction, I smirk and hold my hands out.

He takes my hands and leads me over to where he and Nogla were drinking and dancing. I look at Nogla and smile, he grabs me a drink and hands it to me.

"Cheers!" We clank our glasses together and take a gulp of beer.

Lui takes my hand and pulls them over his shoulders, I go to put my drink down and Scotty takes it, then mouthes 'I gotchu' and winks at me, I snigger. Lui puts his hand round my waist and we start slow dancing. My head rests on his shoulder and his head is next to my head. We say nothing, and just slowly make our way round the warm fire.

The radio blasts out the last part of 'Everything I Do'. As I look up at Lui, he pecks me on the cheek, I smile greatly at him and nuzzle his chest. He kisses my head just as Brock calls him over to the BBQ.

I walk over to Scotty to get my beer, he hands it to me and continues talking to Arlan. I hear Nogla singing 'Footloose' and go over to join him in a duet.

"BUT YOU GOTTA CUT LOOSE,"
"FOOTLOOSE!" Tyler shouts from over the other side of the fire, he comes stumbling over to us to sing.
"KICK OFF YOUR SUNDAY SHOES,"
"PLEASE, LOUISE. PULL ME OFF OF MY KNEES!"
"JACK, GET BACK, COME ON BEFORE WE CRACK."
"LOSE YOUR BLUES, EVERYBODY CUT FOOTLOOSE!"

Me, Tyler and Nogla start to laugh as we let the song carry on.

**TYLER'S POV**
I look at Freya as she laughs along with David. Her dimple really shows when she laughs, I smile. Freya's cheek bones define her face very well, shaping her face elegantly. A gust of wind picks her hair up and blows it behind her, like something from a movie. She's not pretty, that word is too small. She is small but strong, and her bright eyes demand attention. Looking at her is like waking up.

**NOGLA'S POV**
I watch Tyler as he stares Freya, something different in his eyes, no hatred, no anger. Not like him at all. Instead I see love, peace. And what's more, in the reflection of his blue eyes, I see Freya.

**FREYA'S POV**
I finish laughing and grab another drink from the crate, only to be stopped by a hand on top of mine, I look and see it's Lui.

"We're doing shots, there's no need for an extra beer."

I nod and follow him to a tray full of shots. I laugh, I've never done a shot before. Lui calls everyone over and they all grab a shot glass too.

"3, 2, 1!" Lui shouts.

I tilt my head back and swallow the liquid, I crinkle my nose up and force my head back in disgust, but I try and play it cool.

"There, there, Freya. That shot wasn't that bad was it?" I hear Moo say as he places his hand on my shoulder.

"No, that wasn't bad at all..." I say.

"Urr guys?" Evan slurs.

"Yeah?" I shout over the music.

"I- We, have an announcement." He says firmly. I watch as Delirious stands behind him, looking up to him with bright eyes.

We all turn to look at Delirious and Evan, Lui sneaking his hand into my hand, our fingers linking. Nogla stands next to me, brushing my shoulder.
