Annie's POV
My family and I and Hayden spend the rest of the day at the beach. 8:00 rolls around quickly we all get in the car. The back row is Hayden Paige and I. The next row is Mr Jimmy and H$. And in the front is mommy and daddy.
"Annie there's a big surprise for you at the restaurant."
"More surprises?" I look to Hayden.
"I don't know what this one is." I lay my head on his shoulder. I pull out my phone.
Anns💜💍: your the most amazing boyfriend I love you so much Hayden
Hay hay💜💍: I love you more Anns I can't wait for hawaii💜
Anns💜💍: hawaii?!?
Hay hay💜💍: oops
Anns💜💍: spill Hay
Hey hay💜💍: my family your family and the RYH family is going to hawaii to promote your gel in a week. I thought you knew...😮
Anns💜💍: omg
We stop texting since were at the restaurant. Hayden and I walk in hand and hand. The hostess leads us to a full table.
"Oh my gosh." The rock your hair family and Haydens family is there.
"Happy Birthday!!" They say in unison. I go over and hug everyone. Even brec is here. I feel so lucky to have people that care about me so much. We all sit and enjoy dinner. We share lots of laughs and smiles. This dinner will never be forgotten. I stand up.
"Thank you so much everyone for being here. I'm the luckiest girl ever to have all you amading people in my life." I look at everyone. "I'm so thankful that I've had so many adventures already with you guys and I can't wait for more to come. *cough* hawaii *cough*" everyone laughs and looks at Hayden. He shyly smiles. I put my hand on his shoulder.  "The only thing that could make this day better was if Caleb was here. But I know he's looking over us. He would've loved  all of you."
  Tears stroll down my face. Hayden looks up at me. Daddy looks to him and motions his head to the door. Hayden stands and picks me up and carries me outside like a baby. He sits down in the garden. I cry into his shoulder. He tightly wraps his arms around me.
"Caleb w-"
"Annie you don't have to."
"I want to. Caleb was my best friend from the second I was born. We protected each other. I got hate he spoke on the vlog about it. He got hate I spoke about it. If i was scared he would do his best to make me feel safe. I told him everything. Things not even my best girl friends know. He started my singing passion. He would write me songs and I'd record them for him. I even told him when I had a crush. This is really embarrassing but I've had a crush on you since I was 10. And only Caleb knew about it. Caleb was my smile when I didn't even know if I'd ever smile again. Caleb was my courage during a meet when I felt like I was so scared I could puke. Even when he was in the middle of a game and I had a meet he would bench himself and FaceTime me to make sure I was okay and make sure I knew he was proud of me no matter what. He taught me almost everything that isn't school related. He could make anyone he ever met laugh. He had a crush on my best friend growing up Sydney. Only I knew that. Caleb made the cool kids club. Sunglasses weren't even the original part. It was how he runs. And you had to do it in public. He would run with his arms behind him and take giant steps. The cool kids club was only him and I. Daddy always made jokes 'the weird kids club' and caleb would spell weird out Wonderful Embarrassing Inspiring Rare Dummies. Which perfectly describes how we act together. My goofiness is because of Caleb. I was affected the most by Caleb dying. Who I am today is because of him." He looked at me sweetly. He wiped the tears from my face.
"I know how important he is to you. I wish I could've met him. Caleb and I talked once."
"What?" He showed me a screenshot. The date was 9-29-15
"Oh my God. That was the day before he died." I took the phone. It was Instagram dms.
Iamabakedpotato- hey. my little sister would hate me if she knew I dmed you so keep this a secret. your the same age as my sister Annie. And I've been following you for months and observing you. I have a feeling your going to meet someday with or without me. Annie means the world to me. I'm her protector. So if you do meet never hurt her. Never disrespect her. If you do trust me I'll know. Mark my words if you hurt her I'll haunt you for the rest of your life. But I think your a cool dude and won't do that to my lil sis who has a major crush on you. Oops. Peace dude- 🆑️
HaydenSummerall- I've seen your sister before. I doubt we'll meet but if we do I'll stick to your rules. Hope I can meet you guys sometime your in LA- Hay
I was crying.
"H-he knew. He was tired and down the whole day. Hayden promise never to show that to my parents or Hayley."
"I promise." She took my hand and we walked inside. Everyone was laughing. We sat back in our seats. Hayden nodded at daddy. Hayley grabbed my hand behind the chairs and smiled at me. We both mouthed celebrate life.

Itskatiedonnelly- you guys have been asking about my friendship with Annie. On my end nothing has changed. She's just having fun in LA w her new friends and Hayden. I'm incredibly happy for her. I still love her no matter what. We just don't talk as much as we used to. And that's okay. With true friendships you don't have to see or talk to each other all the time to be best friends. Dis girl will be my R.O.D through everything. Happy Birthday Annie Banannie I love and miss you so very much.😭😭❤❤Big ups to the west coast😂😂 (inside joke) #kannie #coralgirlsforever #loveher #bestfriend
AnnieLeblanc- I miss you so much Katie😭😭❤❤ 
We all go our seperate ways. Hayden comes home with us though. I sit in the other direction Hayden. He puts my feet on his lap. I text Katie.
Annie Banannie💜- BEST FRIEND!
Katie Kat💙- best friend? Idek who you are anymore. You dont even go to gymnastics anymore. What happened to the annie that would die for gymnastics. And whos idle is shawn johnson and wanted to be an olympian. The only thing important to you any more is Hayden and all them and rock your hair. I just don't fit in anymore. You got to caught up in fame🙄
Annie Banannie💜: Katie that's not true
Katie Kat💙: yes it is. Even before you moved you were always in LA and didn't talk to me. And you left maker studios. Your not who I thought you were. Goodbye Julianna have a nice life...
A tear falls down my face. I quickly wipe it before Hayden sees.
