~Addilyn's POV~

   My parents decided that today was a nice day to just chill at the pool. I think it was just a way for my mom to ask me tons of questions about yesterday. I chose to wear a bikini. The top of the bikini was Pastel Neon Mint, Candy Pink and White with a Balconnet style to it. The bottoms were Pastel Neon Mint and Candy Pink. It was personally one of my favorite bathing suits.

   Once I got done, I went downstairs and out the back door. Hehehe. If only Brendon was here. Speaking of Brendon, he and Breezy wouldn't stop texting me last night. Brendon was thanking me for coming and he was so happy that Breezy and I are friends. He also apologized for Sarah's actions. I wonder why she was acting like that. Breezy was texting me about Sarah too. Apparently, she isn't a fan of Sarah, but she came to congratulate her and to see me and Brendon. I headed to the pool and saw my parents already in it. I'm so glad we are a happy family again. "Hey girlfriend!" Yelled my mom as she was floating on an inner tube.

   "Hey mom and dad!"

   "Come in the pool." My dad said. I sprayed sunscreen on myself and jumped in. Surprisingly, the water was actually nice even though it's September. My parents never close the pool until December. I have no clue why they do that. "So, how was the dinner?"

   "Yeah, tell us all the deats," added my mother.

   "Well, it was really fun, actually. Breezy was really nice and we actually become friends. Sarah was nice too, but she kinda acted a little weird and Brendon was just Brendon."

   "What do you mean she was acting weird?" And here we go with all the questions.

   "I don't know. I called Brendon, Brenny because he calls me Addy and I had to come up with a nickname, so I came up with Bren and Brenny." I explained.

   "Awwwww! That's adorable!" I swear my mother sounds like a 13-year-old fangirl sometimes, but I just laughed it off.

   "Your mother's nickname is Angel." My father said, kissing my mother on her lips.

   "Since your father's name is Eric, I just called him E." I'll admit their nicknames were cute. I was thinking about that for a minute.

   Then a question popped in my head, "Um, are nicknames only for couples?" Mom and Dad had to think about this for a minute too.

   "No, I think they can be for friends too," my mom responded. My dad nodded his head in agreement.

   "Okay, thanks."

   "Why do you ask?" Questioned my dad. I just shrugged and went under the water. "I'm going to go get the radio from inside." Dad headed inside and came out within seconds with the blue radio. He turned it on and put on some random station. Of course, a Panic! At The Disco song was on. It was "Miss Jackson". Oh, this reminded me of my convo I had with him. My mom and I looked at each other and started singing.

Climbing out the back door, didn't leave a mark

No one knows it's you Miss Jackson

Found another victim

But no one's gonna find Miss Jackson, Jackson, Jackson

You put a sour little flavor in my mouth now

You move in circles hoping no one's gonna find out

But we're so lucky,

Kiss the ring and let 'em bow down

Looking for the time of your life (ain't always gonna find out)

~Brendon's POV~

   I was still thinking about yesterday's dinner. I kept texting Addilyn about how happy I was that she came and became friends with Breezy. Breezy is such a nice girl. Her and Dallon are perfect for each other. Anyways, I know Addilyn felt bad because she thought she upset Sarah, but she didn't. I should probably talk to Sarah about that.

   Moments later, Sarah came home from taking Bogart to the vet.

   "Hey hun! How did it go?"

   "Hi! Oh, it went well. Bogart it perfectly healthy." She replied, petting Bogart on the head.

   "That's good. I forgot to ask you, but were you okay yesterday?"

   "What do you mean? I was fine." Sarah laughed nervously.

   "Honey, if there's something wrong, you can tell me." I asked concerned.

   "Do you like Addilyn more than me?" I just laughed.

   "Sarah, I love you and you know that. Yes, I love Addilyn, but we are just friends." She thought I liked Addilyn? Why does everyone think that?

   "I do know you love me and I love you too. I'm sorry. I just overreacted."

   "Babe, it's fine. Don't worry about it." I said reassuringly and gave her a hug. Well, I'm glad that's all sorted out. The rest of the day was spent at the pool with Sarah and the dogs.

   Night had risen and I went on my phone to check twitter. I saw Addilyn tagged me in a tweet with a picture of a radio with "Miss Jackson" playing on it. "@PanicAtTheDisco needs to stop taking over my radio." She tagged me on the "Miss Jackson". I replied with, " @AddilynRose: What? Are you nasty? 😏"

~Addilyn's POV~

   "@AddilynRose: What? Are you nasty? 😏" He's an ass. I tweeted back, "@BrendonUrie: Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time." I was watching Law & Order and fell asleep on the couch while eating popcorn.
