Rule number one of being sneaky: do not get caught. Its simple really, if you want to hide something and be sly about it then you really don't want to get caught. That's the point of it anyways. Its common sense, I mean this is how I see it, let's say you are throwing a surprise party for a friend. You aren't going to make it easy for the people to guess. No, you hide everything and plan then when the day is right, you bring the person to a place and yell surprise and watch as there face lights up. Well in my case, im not throwing a surprise party, im preparing to face my brother and Nash. And that is not going to be easy. At all. Like I said, do not get caught. Its the biggest rule, if you were caught, in my case, you could end up in some deep shit. That is why mine and Spencers job is made so much simpler, God bless tour breaks. Get it? Okay maybe not, let me explain. The Magcon Reunion was in two months, exactly, as in 61 days, as in October 31. As in Halloween. To say I was nervous would be the understatement of the freaking century. But back to the topic at hand, God bless tour breaks, now that the tour was giving us a two week break to see our families, Spence and I had the perfect chance to start the plan. But we have complications, I mean none we can't handle but, still complications. The first being the boys themselves. Before I became friends with the boys as Elliot Grace Gray, I didn't have to sorry about how all of them live in LA, and how they are constantly wanting to hang out, or crash at my house. The second being my boyfriend. Not a bad complication but one that has been keeping me from my work on this plan, between him always wanting to cuddle, watch movies, or do really cliché walks on the beach, I really haven't been on my agame for the past three days (not that im complaining). Like I said, nothing we can't handle. Today, Spencer and I were determined to get to my studio and make this video. And make this video we shall. However, complication number two is being extremely cuddly this morning. "Babe I have to get up." I said as I leaned on my elbow, Hayes' are wrapped firmly around my waist, my other hand going through his hair. "Noooooo." He whined in his tired, morning voice. I don't get why he wouldn't let me go, it was six in the morning and its not like he was going to get up anytime soon. "Im sorry, I've put this off long enough, I'll be back around lunch though." I said, his eyes that had been closed the whole time opened to slits. "Promise?" He asked and I pecked his cheek before responding. "Promise, but now you have to let me go." I said and he grumbled before letting me go. I got up, checking my phone only to find texts from Spencer saying that she was up and to pick her up from her house at 7:45. I just responded with an okay before grabbing my clothes and tip toeing to my bathroom, Andreas room was right under mine and she was the lightest sleeper I knew and also was not a morning person. Over in my bathroom I showered and put my hair in a towel once done so I could get dressed. Afterwards I blow dryed my hair and braided it on both sides and then sprayed some perfume on myself. I walked out of the bathroom then, and turned my light to my makeup table on knowing that Hayes would not wake up due to how deep a sleeper he is. But as I started my base he came and sat next to me, just watching as I did my makeup silently. "You're so beautiful," He murmured as I went on with my makeup. "With and without makeup." He said and I felt the redness of my cheeks, I wanted to turn away then but I knew that Hayes would just turn me back around if I did. "Oh stop it." I said looking at him in the mirror as I started working on my eyelids. "Its true though!" He said like a kid throwing a tantrum and I laughed. "Okay babe. Why are you up anyways? You love your sleep." I said and he shrug before putting his head on my shoulder and closing his eyes. He's too cute. By the time I finished it was 7:30 and my sleepy boyfriend was fast asleep on my shoulder. "Babe. Baby. Hayes. Benjamin!" I shouted in his ear seeing as he was deep in sleep. "Im sorry Ms. Graham!" He awoke startled, causing me to laugh. His face was priceless, he was so confused, and when he finally came to his senses and I was almost doubled over in laughter, he frowned, grumbling under his breath and getting back in bed. "Well I guess we will have to talk about Ms Graham later. But I have to go." I said a laugh still in my voice but he still got up and walked over to me. Even in by heals I barely reached his mouth in height. He hugged me and I hugged back without a hesitation. But that is where Mr. Grier thought he could get me to still stay here with him. Key word is thought. Hayes began to leave little kisses along my neck and I began to crumble under his touch. I could tell he knew it to, I could feel the smirk forming on his face. If that's how he wanted to play; Game on Grier. I put my hands in his hair as he finally made his way to my cheek with his kisses and then I began to kiss his lips, and soon he was cornered to the wall. With that in mind I leaned in like I was going for a kiss, but slipped out of his embrace and into the hall, leaving him there lips puckered, and shell shocked. A smirk rose to my lips as I grabbed an orange and my keys and got into my precious car. Yes, I love my car. Yes, I have named my car. No, it is not weird.

What if
What if we run away
What if
What if we left today
What if
We said goodbye to safe and sound
What if
What if we're hard to find
What if
What if we lost our minds
What if
We let them fall behind, and they're never found

And when the lights start flashing like a photo booth
And the stars exploding
We'll be fireproof

My youth
My youth is yours
Trippin' on skies, sippin' waterfalls
My youth
My youth is yours
Run away now and forevermore
My youth
My youth is yours
The truth so loud you can't ignore
My youth, my youth, my youth
My youth is yours

My Spotify came to life and I immediately sang along with Troye Sivans beautiful voice. I had forgotten that I had fallen asleep listening to his music last night. Oh well. Speaking of Troye, I need to collab with him soon, I haven't seen his face in like 7 months. Mental note: Collab with Baby Blue Eyes
That's the nickname I've given Troye since we became friends. He calls me Ella so that just kinda stuck. By the time I got my train of thought back on track, I was pulling up in Spencer and Nash's condo drive way. I was almost 30 minutes late but let's be real here, 7:45 in girl time is really closer to 8:30. Am I right ladies? Spence was waiting for me at the door so she made it into my car fairly quickly, baby bump now completely noticeable. "Hey Spency, Hi baby." I said and rubbed Spencers stomach to indicate who I was talking to. "Hey Gracie. We ready?" She asked and nodded my head, backing out of the driveway. The drive to my studio took around 45 minutes considering, traffic, and the fact that we had to drive to the whole other side of town. Im not complaining though, I love my studio, I shoot almost all of my videos here and it also where we make most of the collab videos for my roommates and I. Half way through the drive my phone started to ring and Hayes' face popped up on its screen. "Watch this, its going to be funny." I said with a smirk and Spencer nodded but clear confusion was on her face. "Hey baeebee." I said in a sing-song voice but I could tell he wasn't happy. "That was very mean Grace." I knew by his gone he was pouting and from the fact he called me Grace and not one of his nicknames. "I know but you were being very mean when you wouldn't let me leave." I said with a smirk. He sighed and muttered a curse under his breath. "Fine I guess that's fair but you still have to make it up to me for not staying with me today." He said. "Deal. Now I have to go but I love you." I said as I saw the studio nearing. "I love you to baby, have fun." He said and I blushed, again, I'll never get used to him calling me that. "I will. Bye."
"Bye." was all he replied before hanging up and no doubt going back to sleep. Spencer as laughing in the passengers seat and I could tell she knew what happened. "Y'all are to cute." She smiled, which made me smile and nod a thanks.

Pulling up to the gate I buzzed in and then parked. The building was oddly shaped since a few studios for different people were found going around the building. My key jingled in my hands I got my key out and opened the door. My cameraman, Davis, was already here setting up for the video. Davis, is in his early 30's and just became a dad recently. "Coffee?" I asked Spencer as mine finished making. She nodded and I made her favorite, French vanilla. "Thanks." she said as I handed it to her. The inside of my studio looked different than it normally did, due to the fact that I wanted this video to be perfect. After all a video is how I said goodbye. So a video will be how I say hello too.
