Hayden's P.O.V-
and then Annie called her an intolerable slut. they bickered until I pulled Annie away. We went to the yard and sat down on the bench.

"annie....." I said calmly.

"Hayden, I'm sorry. I got mad." Annie says, looking down.

"Annie, I'm not mad. Not at all" I say, pulling her into a hug. "Mackenzie was just doing that for attention and to try to piss you off." I say. she looks up at me and smiles.

"what is my mom gonna say?" She groans while putting her head in her hands.

"well I'll tell her what mackenzie said and she won't care. And I'll take the blame annie." I say.

"no, you're not taking the blame for this one hayden." She says.

"annie, it's my fault. I made mackenzie upset and now she hates your guts. It is my fault and I am taking the blame." I say.

"ok." She nods. we decide to go wander around the yard. they have a bunch of picnic tables and some cute photo spots and musical.ly backgrounds. They have bamboo lining the yard and in one spot, it curves out into the yard and you can go back and sit between the fence and the bamboo. someone must've noticed it before because there are outdoor fairy lights and a wicker chair back there. It's like a huge alcove in the bamboo. there are tapestries covering the fence. It's so cute back here. I look over at Annie, and she is noticing the surroundings as well. It's beautiful.

"Annie, I love you." I say.

She blushes. "I love you too hay." She smiles.

I lean over pull her behind the bamboo. there is a thick wall of bamboo. Nobody can see us. I pull Annie's waist close to me. She smiles and links her hands around my neck. I free one hand and play with her hair. She smiles. I take my other hand and slide it around her neck. She tenses, and I start to back away. She quickly relaxes and pulls me back. Her hands are around my waist, and I cup her face in my hands, and I lean into a kiss. She sighs, and goes with it. I feel her smile from ear to ear. We eventually break from the kiss, and end up just sitting next to each other on the wicker chair.

Annie's P.O.V-
we're sitting next to each other on the wicker chair and my head is in the crook of his shoulder. he is absentmindedly twirling my hair on his finger.

"Hayden...." I start.

"Annie, I know. I shouldn't have done that" he said.

"that's not what I meant at all." I said. "I meant that what we just did felt right. It felt good kissing you is what I meant." I said.

He sighed a sigh of relief and held my hand tight in his. We sat like this until we heard people coming outside. When we heard people coming outside, we stood up and walked out. It was jayden.

"oh my gosh there you guys are! I've been looking for you for the past 15 minutes!" Jayden says, exasperated.

"well here we are!" Hayden smirks.

"Annie your mom wants you. You're going home soon I guess. And Hayden, your dad the same." She says.

We nod and head inside. Our parents are by the door, chatting. They see us and immediately smile.

"what's with the creepy smiles?" I ask.

"we're going back to our house for pizza and movie night and then the summeralls will sleep over, and then we will go to Disneyland tomorrow!" My mom says excitedly.

We scream in excitement and hug. Hayley joins the hug, and then we head home. Hayden and his dad run home to grab clothes and stuff while we get home and get ready. I shower and put on these clothes-

we decide to watch the new beauty and the beast movie in the home theatre. I wait in my bedroom on my phone until they get here. I go on Snapchat and talk with katie, syd, arden, mia, and via on our group snap. I get a snap from Hayden telling me he's on his way. I smile. I send him a pic back with a scared look on my face to joke with him. I sit in my room for another 10 minutes before they get here. When they get here I bound down the stairs and hug Hayden. Our pizza gets here and we eat it during the movie. What a great way to end the evening. when it's time to go to bed, Hayden and his dad go to the guest bedroom. Of course, when everyone is asleep, I text him to
Come into my room so we can talk. He comes in and I sit on my bed and he sits on the chair. We talk all night about random stuff. Random stuff like new tv shows, favorite foods, people, and music. we eventually fall asleep mid-sentence and he passes out in the chair as I fall back on to my bed in utter exhaustion.
