A month has passed and everything is still the same. I'm still friends with Aiden, Ariana and Harmony. We've became closer than before, we hang out every weekend and throughout our school days. Aiden and Ariana are still stronger than ever and they are the cutest couple I've met. They are completely different but it seems like they were made for each other. Harmony has found a boyfriend. His name is Stephen.

Parker and I argue beyond belief. He does one thing and it annoys the crap out of me or I do something and it annoys the crap out of him. Nathan and I hang out during school quite bit. He's turned into my guy best friend and I can confide in him about almost anything.

Zayn and I haven't seen each other since Thursday and it's now Saturday. I'm supposed to be going to his to spend some time with him. We've been planning some of our wedding but I told him I prefer to do it after I graduate which he says is okay with him.

I walk towards the apartment door, my hands are in my pockets. I stand in front of the door just as the door swings open and Brayden is standing there. He's just wearing sweats and his hair is messy. A yawn leaves his lips as he looks at me with a blank look. It's obvious he just woke up. It's only 2 in the afternoon.

"Your boy toy is in the shower." Brayden states as I roll my eyes. I push past my brother as I make my way into the living room. I hear the door close and the lock click. I plop myself on the couch as I place my feet on the coffee table.

"I moved to get away from your ass." Brayden says as he sits down next to me. I turn my head looking at him.

"You're dumb as hell. I moved to dads before you moved here." I say sassily, as Brayden shrugs his shoulder. Brayden is so dumb sometimes. I mean what the hell? How am I related to him?

"That's true. It's been a long day." Brayden says as he smirks slightly. My nose crinkles when he says that. I don't want to be thinking about my best friend and brother being together in that way.

"Shut up B. That's disgusting." I say shaking my head. Brayden chuckles when I say that. I can hear patter of feet before something plops down next to me. I turn my head seeing Zayn sitting there his hair is wet. His arm wraps around my shoulders as he pulls me into his side.

"I can't believe you two got together." Brayden mumbles and I let out a small laugh. I look over at my brother since I know he never thought his best friend would've turned out to be my fiancée. Funny how things turn out.

"Well.. Sometimes things happen and I'm happy this one happened." Zayn says as he leans down kissing my cheek, which he does but his wet hair drops down on my shoulder which causes me to crinkle my nose.

"Zayn Malik if you do not go dry your hair in the next ten seconds I am not sleeping with you for a week." I state slowly knowing he hears every word I'm stating. He doesn't make an effort to move as he continues looking down at me.

"One." I say as he shrugs his shoulders. "Two." I keep counting down until I hit seven and thats when it hits me.

"I won't sleep you until we get married." I hum softly, Zayn's eyes narrow at me before he huffs and stands up. He grumbles under his breathe as he makes his way out of the living room.

"You're heartless." Brayden says after a couple seconds. I can't help but laugh. One way or another I get my way. It just happens.

I stare over at Zayn as he drives. His eyes are focused on the road, one hand is on the steering wheel the other one is on my knee. After Zayn went to go dry his hair he decided to go do it and go ahead and start our day together. His tongue is peeking out slightly between his lips. He looks so adorable.
