"What do you want?" I groaned in between my sheets. I've been in my room for a while now, I haven't really gained the energy to do things.

I snuggled my face deeper into my sheets, honestly I can't even tell the time either since my shutters were locked.

I heard the door swing open and soft foot steps approaching me. I groaned and looked up.

"Mum..." I said in confusion. "Malia..." She sighed sitting next to my dead body. "Honey you need to start being productive," she said calmly. "Why have you been in your room for so long?" She asked. "I have nothing to do" I said sitting up. I rubbed my eyes.

"Go out with Everest or Jamie. Go do something fun" She said. I bit my lip hard as I remembered the conversation Everest and I had. "W-we're not really on good terms" I said shakily as I felt my eyes tear up. I still don't know why Jamie and Everest don't talk anymore.

Her eyes softened and she brought my in a hug rubbing my back. "Do you want to go back to Toronto, hang out with that Shawn guy and maybe let go of all this mess" She suggested but now made me worse.

I cried harder, "I don't know mum" I sighed frustratedly. I leaned my head on my bed board. "Shawn and I are done, we're not friends anymore. Everest and I aren't friends either, I don't know what happened to Jamie but he hardly talks to me. Hayes, he doesn't even want to look at me mum. I don't know what to do! I've lost everyone and now all I can do is sleep!"

My mum looked at me sadly. "Darling, everything will get better" She said. I nodded slowly. "When's your wedding?" I asked wiping my tears while trying to change the topic. "This weekend" She said.

"MUM!" I whined. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I have nothing to wear!" I pouted. She laughed lightly. "Go shopping then, bring Grayson because I'm also guessing Ethan isn't on good terms either right?"

I nodded as she walked out of the room. I dragged my feet into the bathroom and showered. I changed into shorts and a random black shirt.

I dialled Grayson's number while doing my hair. I left it on speaker and continued to tie my hair up. "Helloo" Grayson said.

"You free right now?" I asked. "Yeah pretty much" He replied. "We're going shopping and I need your help" I sighed. "Be there in 5" He ended the call. I quickly slipped on my shoes and laced them.

I grabbed my phone and my wallet and walked downstairs. My eyes scanned the area and I saw Hayes and Nash watching television. Aaron was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Aaron?" I asked looked at both of them. They both ignored me, "Hayes?" I asked. He looked at me, I felt myself happy since we're making eye contact.

He then looked back at the television blankly. I frowned and walked outside.

I sighed sitting at the steps of my porch. I rested my chin on the palm of my hands. I probably shouldn't have been such a prissy princess.

I heard Grayson's car, I looked up and saw him pulling in. I quickly gathered my things and made my way to his car. I jumped in the front seat and clicked my seatbelt.

"What are you planning to buy?" Gray asked. "Wedding this weekend, I need a dress" I said. "Oh yeah! I forgot" Gray laughed. "By the way Hayes' birthday is tomorrow, all the boys are flying down tonight for the surprise party tomorrow" Grayson explained while I nodded.

"And we're invited to the wedding, I'm stressing because I don't know what to wear either" Grayson whined. I laughed, "We'll go buy something" I smiled.
