Surprises.

Carter's p.o.v

It's been years now. Paris Hadley is 18, Casey James is 17, Ariel June & Tyler King are 16, and Joseph Alexander is only 14.

Paris and Ariel are in a girlband called Fifth Harmony, Casey & Tyler are singers and Joseph is not quite sure what he wants to do yet.

So much has happened these past few years. Sam and I have been happier than ever.

We haven't split or anything. My kids are my number one priority. Soon, Ariel, Tyler, & Paris are moving out.

Casey is already moved out. It's super hard for me to let them go. Especially since I'm super close to them.

Paris has been my little rider since day 1. It's so hard for me to let her go. Mason and Chloe have moved with their children to Omaha.

So much has happened over the years. Chloe never forgave (Madison Beer). Lily and Maci have moved to New York to pursue their fashion dreams.

All my kids are making me the proudest mom. As well as my grandchildren. Kian and I are going to Starbucks.

Him and I have remained closer than ever. "Let's go ya whore." I teased as he got in my car.

"Thanks for picking me up. It's been a while since we've been out." He smiled. "I know! It's been crazy lately." I softly smiled.

I drove off to Starbucks. "How's everything with Sam going?" Kian asked me.

"It's been pretty good. I'm very happy." I smiled. "I'm glad. Is it hard not having the kids around as much?" Kian asked.

"I mean, yeah. But I love that they're so happy doing what they love most." I said. "It's almost June's and King's birthday." Kian said.

"I know... My babies are almost 17!" I laughed. We got to Starbucks, and ordered. I, of course payed. I didn't want kian paying.

We sat down outside. "It's super crazy how life treats us." Kian said. "Yeah, I agree." I sighed.

"You're still friends with Beer?" (Madison) Kian asked. "Yes, actually." I said. I have believed Madison all these years.

Sometimes she acts suspicious but I don't think much of it anymore. Chloe is still convinced that Madison was the one who sent the texts.

I have tried to stay out of that as much as possible. "I really don't want to be apart of that anymore." I said. I have tried my hardest to not be involved. Madison is one of my great friends and whatever she did is not involving me.

Ariel's p.o.v 

It's been a crazy few years. I am currently with my sister, Paris. We are in a band called Fifth Harmony. In the band are 3 other girls. Dinah Jane, Ally, & Normani. We are all super close and we are currently in the works of going on a tour.

King (Tyler), my twin, is on his way to hang out with us. He is also a singer. We recently wrote a song together. We wrote the song when were 14, almost 15 and we decided to release it a few months ago. I have been in a relationship with Michael Clifford (I know he was in 5sos but let's pretend he is 17 now).

We started dating 2 years ago and have been super happy. I love how he is with my family and just the way he is with me in general. "He's here!" Normani said running towards me. We are currently in Miami. I love it here.

"HIIIII BOO!" I said jumping into my brother's arms. "Hello my twinny." he said kissing my forehead. I haven't seen him in a few weeks because he has been on tour. Tonight we are going to be performing our song "I Know What You Did Last Summer."
