I ended up sleeping at 7:30 pm last night. Last time I slept this early, I was in preschool. I had gotten ready and went to make myself breakfast at around 8:15. I was hanging out with the boys for the day and I was quite excited.

Besides the fact that Matt moved on, Chelsea also had to cancel her flight here due to some family issue. She was supposed to come tomorrow, but she promised she would come soon once she had sort her family matter.

I only told her that Matt and I were on good terms. I never told her about how he had moved on. She had family stuff and him moving on would enrage her as well as add to her problems.

I cooked myself up waffles and had some orange juice with it. After eating, I went to check on Matt.Considering the time being 8:45, he was still asleep. I got a sticky note from my room and wrote 'Will be out for the whole day with friends. Be back soon. -Zoe'.

I placed the sticky note on his phone so I knew he would see it and not freak out once he realized I was gone. Well, I don't even know if he would care. As bad as it was to think negatively, in this situation they were helping me get used to reality.

Today's outfit consisted of a loose adidas top, black high-waisted shorts, and a pair of hightop converse. My hair was pulled into a high ponytail and I was ready to go. I grabbed my wallet and phone, then went to go meet the boys in the lobby.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, the three boys that towered over me with a small exception of Johnson, piled me into a group hug. For a second, I couldn't even breathe. Thankfully, our group hug ended and I caught my breath. I was happy though. I missed them.

Sammy had dyed his hair a white-ish color and it looked nice on him, as in he could pull it off. Gilinsky's hair seemed a little lighter and Johnson stayed the same, but I still loved him just as much.

"I'm really sorry Zoe. I knew about all this and never told you the truth." Sammy confessed, dropping his head down and looked at his feet.

"It's okay. I forgave Matt overall and the same goes for you." I was not really wanting to talk about that whole mess anymore.

"Good." Sammy spoke and shyly smiled at me.

"Okay, so Matt moved on?" Johnson was now reminding me this again and it was making me quite angry.

"Yes." I mumbled under my breath, not ready to admit it.

"So why don't you pretend to as well? Just pretend to be with one of us. I mean we are all friends here, so its not like you're using a guy either." Gilinsky suggested and I was now agreeing to doing all of this.

"Alright, so which one of you lucky boys is gonna be my fake boyfriend?" I quietly spoke just incase Matt was around and I didn't know.

All three raised their hands to volunteer, catching me by surprise. I gave them a funny look, thinking none would volunteer. Well now I didn't know who to choose. I mean besides the fact that we were all friends, all of them were very attractive.

"Okay I'm going to close my eyes and spin around. Whoever I point to will be the boy." I shrugged and close my eyes, getting ready to spin.

I spun myself anxiously wanting to know who my finger would land on. As I began to slow down to prevent myself from getting dizzy, I stumbled back falling into someone's arms. There was this feeling of relief that I didn't hit the ground.
