"TODAY'S THE DAY!" Eleanor screamed through my phone screen "Can you believe it?" "It crazy," I respond "it feels like yesterday we were just in preschool."

"Or when you helped me get the courage to talk to Lou," she rested her head in her hand. "Over three years with that boy," she awes and I chuckle "Or when I tried to set you up with my brother."

"Athena, we agreed to never talk about that again."

I giggled as I finished my makeup "I will say though," I grabbed my lip gloss "no one is travelling across state. They're all close." "Really?" Eleanor gawked "I totally thought someone would go to California, or even England." I shake my head then finish my lip gloss "All dad said was we're all still relatively close."

"I'm not ready to be an adult yet."

I chuckle, grabbing my phone and walking over to my closet. "Well my love I'm going to have to let you go, I need to change." I tell her "And Em demanded my attention before her and Dexter go with my uncle and aunt." Eleanor laughs "Alright Thena I'll see you in a bit!"

We agreed to all bring some form of a shirt with the college we're attending on it. Obviously, I'm not putting mine on yet. We've got a system in place that's being devised by my dad. And since there are going to be me, Asher, and ten others in the house we decided to send Em and Dex to my Uncle Benton and Aunt Reyna's for the day.

"Are you happy with the school I'm going to Lu?" I scooped her up once I got downstairs. Her little hands patting my cheeks, a little toothy grin coming on her face. "Can you say Thena?" I smile to her but she just babbles. "It's alright, that's still cute," I say before kissing her cheek.

I get goodbye hugs from my little ones and Caroline leaves to drive them over to my uncle and aunt's. "Are you happy with where Ash and I are going?" I asked my dad, who sat at the breakfast nook finishing up the plan. "You know I'm always proud of whatever you two do," dad smiles "I'm always happy." I awe and walk over, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Don't look at it!"

"I didn't!" I squealed before covering my eyes "I was just trying to be nice!"

"Yeah, yeah love you too," he says "now go."

I head out of the kitchen just as Asher runs downstairs with his shirt in a bag. "People are here, I got texts," he says before walking over and opening the front door. Once he opens it, in walks Zoe, Kenz, Perrie, Zayn, and Liam. "Your boy and everyone else are just right behind us," Kenz says looking at me "him and Louis were arguing like an old married couple."

"Fabulous," I say "we can all go into the living room. Luna's in there playing with some toys." "My baby!" Zoe squeals before rushing in.

I headed out onto the porch where I watched Louis's car pull into my driveway. And just and Kenzie said, out walked Lou, Harry, Eleanor, Niall, and Maddie. "I didn't see your shirt!" I hear Harry shouting while looking over at Louis.

"Yeah alright a.sshat we'll see whenever we show everyone else. Bet you won't even be surprised."

"Guys shut the h.ell up," Eleanor groans as she walked up to the porch right behind them. "Hi gorgeous," Harry kisses my head and Eleanor pushes him out of the way. "Go fight with your boyfriend," she looks at Harry before hugging me. "Great ride over?" I question her and she rolls her eyes.

"I debated jumping out of the car. Multiple times."

"Amen to that one El," Niall says walking up with Mads. "Everyone's in the living room with Lu-"
