April's POV

*4 months later *

Today was the day I would see the boys again since Ashton became 22 and since Luke became 20. They had asked me to pick them up as their families would meet them back at the house.

I got into my own car and yawned before starting it up and pulling out of the driveway. Luckily there wasn't any traffic so I didn't get delayed.

I hoped that Luke hadn't met another girl to bring home because we all know how well that turned out last time. I parked the car and strolled into the airport and leaned against the wall and waited for the boys to appear like I had done before.

Luke's tall blonde quiff was the first thing I saw and I immediately stood up and held my arms open as the four of them rushed towards me with their suitcases rolling behind them.

I was engulfed into a giant group hug and they had all grown at least another few inches. I always questioned whether they would stop growing or not.

Ashton was telling me about how he was planning to propose to Jade over a picnic in the park. I was surprised that they were still together after all of the arguing that happened between the two of them.

Michael helped me to put their suitcases into the boot of my car as the other three boys climbed inside the car. Michael had obviously called shotgun as he looked pleased when he got into the passenger seat.

I sighed happily as I started the car and pulled out of the parking lot and drove towards the boys' house. They were telling me multiple stories from their tour and they were quite amusing to hear as each one ended up embarrassing one of them.

"Fuck i-is that Megan's car?" Luke asked from the back seat as I pulled up.

"Yeah.. What is she doing here?" I asked.

"Can you drive around until she leaves?" Ashton burst into laughter and opened the door.

"Come on" he gestured for us all to get out of the car.

I locked my car after they had gotten their bags out of the back of the car. I walked beside Michael and Calum and we were teasing him about Tara.

"I kinda forgot about her, thanks guys" he growled.

I smacked his arm causing both boys to laugh. Luke opened the door and all three girls appeared at the door. Luke almost fell over when Megan approached him.

"Why are you here?" She spat.

"I picked them up and I'm their best friend" I shoved past her and looked around for their families who didn't seem to be here.

The boys shrugged it off and took their suitcases upstairs leaving the four of us downstairs. I admit it was awkward but its nothing new, it's always been awkward between us.

"Are you dating Luke now?" Megan asked.

"What? No! I thought we discussed this! I'm dating Jordan!" I shouted.

"Oh yeah? Where is he today?" She smirked.

"He's at home." I replied through gritted teeth.

"Why aren't you with him?"

"Because I wanted too see my best friends!" I shouted.

"Won't he be jealous?"

"No. He trusts me" I spat.

"He probably thinks you're cheating on him. Y'know since you're like Sydney's biggest slut" I felt someone behind me and I knew that a certain four boys had just heard that.

Tears stung my eyes as I moved past them and ran out of the house. I got into my car and started to drive away. Before I knew it I was sitting outside my boyfriend's house in my car.

I let out a scream when the passenger door opened and I realised it was Jordan. I furrowed my eyebrows and he told me to get out of the car. He put me into the passenger seat and he sat down into the driver's seat and began to drive away.

"W-where are you taking me?" He chuckled at my nervousness.

"Somewhere" I rolled my eyes and leaned my head against the cold window.

Time passed so quickly and it was already becoming dark when we pulled up at the still unknown destination. He got out of the car and startled me when he opened the door.

He took my hand in his and we began to walk. Again, I furrowed my eyebrows but didn't question it. I just enjoyed being with him. He leaned down and kissed my temple as he noticed my slight discomfort.

"Baby, Luke texted me after you left and told me what happened. You're not anything that Megan said. I love you so much and I trust you. I know how close you are with the boys and I trust them enough and I know they wouldn't hurt you. I know you wouldn't cheat babe, you're not a slut so please don't take anything she said to heart" he kissed my lips and we sat down on the grass by the pond.
