part sixteen

christmas morning*

i woke up everyone on the couch, where we all fell asleep during the movie. i shook zach trying to wake him up. five minutes later he finally got up.

i woke daniel up which wasn't that hard, then i woke corbyn, jonah, and jack.

"it's christmas," i screamed.

i ran upstairs and grabbed everyone's gifts. i ran back downstairs, and everyone was ready. i handed jonah his gift.

"yay, it's a new coffee machine, i love you so much lauren! thank you, thank you, thanks you," he said happily.

"here you go jack."

"a new skateboard, thank you."

"thats not all."

isla popped out from behind the couch. "isla," jack said while crying. "thank you lauren,"he said. "corbyn your next." "i love this blanket so much,"corbyn said. "do you love it more than me," christina said walking through the front door.

corbyn jumped up from his seat, and ran to her and smashed his lips on hers. "pda," zach and i screamed at the same time.

corbyn pulled away, and walked towards me. he pulled me into a tight hug, and thanked me over and over again.

daniel was next. i took my phone out of my pocket, and videoed him.

he opened it, and looked up at me his mouth wide open, and stood up and ran to me. crying in my shoulder he thanked me.

i gave zach his gift, and he opened it. "For real, are these tickets real." i nodded. "when do we go." "i think we go in two days."

"okay, lauren time for you to open your gifts," daniel said.

jack handed me mine, and i opened it. i looked up at him wide eyes, and started crying. "canada, please tell me these are real," i cried. he nodded. "you told me you've always wanted to go, and i couldn't figure out what to get you so i got you, and my sister sydnie tickets to go to canada." "thank you so much jack."

jonah put his gift in front of me, and i opened it. it was three oversized hoodies. "thanks jo, you're the bomb.com." "no problemo."

corbyn put his gift in front of me, and i opened it. "what the crap corbyn, how much did this guitar cost." "only three-hundred dollars not that big of a deal." "thank you." "no problem, lil bean."

next was daniel, i opened it and looked up. i shook  my head. "this isnt a joke right," I said. "nope." "im  going to see freakin shawn mendes in concert, oh my glob im gonna meet my husband." "i love you so much daniel. "i love you too."

next was zach, where did he go. i looked to my left, and saw a note.

it said 'how did we meet'

i looked at my phone to see a text message

where is our favorite place to go? chipotle.

i got there and went to the register, and she gave me a note.

where can you lay in the sand, or swik? the beach.

i looked at all the chairs, and saw a note.

go to an apartment with a tall, blonde choch from ohio. logan's

i went to logan's, and he said, "go to the arcade." i did as told, and went in. a worker then told me to go to the pier.

i got there and walked to the dock, and looked at the ocean until i felt a tap on my shoulder.

i turned around to see zach in a suit.

"well hello," i said. "hi, ma'am can i sing you a song." "of course."

he started to sing perfect by ed sheeran, and then all the boys showed up.

when the song was over, zach came up to me, grabbed my hand, and said," lauren, you've made me the happiest i've been in a while. i like you a lot, and i was wondering if you would please be my girlfriend."

i nodded my head rapidly and started to cry.

he pulled me into a hug, and hollered," it's official."
