"Madi," I feel someone tap my shoulder. I look up to see Daniel standing next to my bed. "I just wanted to let you know that we're heading out to get some things straightened out. Sleep in as late as you want if you get around to packing, we're going to be in Spain for a week." I give him a thumbs up and collapse back into my pillow. I'm thankful that I get to stay back today. After he leaves I go back to sleep. Sometime later I wake up and glance down at my phone. Three texts from Jack, the first one at 7 a.m. That must have been when they left.

Jack: Good morning beautiful

Jack: Are you coming with this morning?

Jack: I take that as a no. I'll see you when I get home, I won't be able to text back till we're done.

Huh I wonder what they're doing? I glance at the time, 10. It's weird being in this house alone. I decide to get up and start the day. Like always, I turn on Pandora and make my bed. Then I take a long hot shower. Since I don't know if we're doing anything later, I take the safe route by putting on leggings. Keeping the music on, I head down to the kitchen and make myself some toast. Once I've finished eating, I head back upstairs and pull out one of my suitcases. I'm going to be completely honest, I've never been the type of girl who brings like two outfits per day. Like for this trip I'm only packing an outfit for each day plus an extra, so a total of eight. A friend of mine would probably pack enough clothes for a month. As I'm going through my closet I pick out what shirts I want to bring. Then I go back and pair bottoms with it. For my extra outfit I decide to bring a dress, cause why not? After a couple of hours I finally decide on my seven outfits. I roll them and put them in my suitcase then head to my dresser. I toss a couple pairs of pajamas in then grab underwear and bras. As I go to close the drawer I spot my bathing suits. Will we have enough time? I'll pack one just in case. After I decide on a one piece, I toss it in along with my underwear.

Then I go back to my closet and dig out a smaller bag for my bathroom stuff. I toss my curling iron in, along with my brush and a couple hairbows. Next, I drop my mascara and a couple lipsticks into the bag. What am I missing? I'll pack my toothbrush and toothpaste tomorrow. Oh right! Shampoo, conditioner, and soap! I dig a bunch of samples I've collected over time out of the bottom of one of my other suit cases. I feel like I'm still missing something? Sun glasses! I pick out my two favorite pairs and toss them in. Once I have that all zipped up, I set it towards the top of the suitcase, which leaves just enough room for my shoes at the bottom. After I get them all in there I push the suitcase against the wall. Done for now. I decide to catch up on YouTube videos for the time being. After a couple hours I hear the front door open then close. "Hello?"

At first there isn't a response, or even another noise for that fact. So I just assume I was imagining it and go back to watching okbaby's recent vlog. "Madi!" A loud guy says from my doorway, scaring me so badly I fall off my bed. I hear him walk over and then he picks me up. "Sorry for scaring you! The boys asked me to come get you."

I look up to see Logan. "Okay," I grab my phone and follow him downstairs. "Where are the boys?"

He takes a deep breath, "their manager's office."

"All day? Why?"

"Uh I don't know if I should be the one telling you." He helps me into his car then gets in the driver's seat. "Let's just say a lot has happened and a lot more is to come. The boys didn't want you to be sitting home alone all day."

For a little bit I stay quiet. "Is it bad?" He just nods. What's happening to the boys? For the rest of the short drive we both stay quiet. Once we get to the building he leads me inside and into a meeting room where all the boys are in a heated conversation with their manager and two men in suits.
