Chloe's perspective
The following morning was pretty normal if I'm honest. We all got up and just went to the cafe nearby. Nothing special. Toby looked really down during breakfast but I was too scared to ask. Him and Sadie have been quite distant this morning but I don't want to bring it up yet. I feel like everything might smooth out soon and if not, I'm sure Sadie will tell me if I ask. For breakfast I just ordered some pancakes. They were so good but so filling. I barely got through half of what was on my plate!
After breakfast we decided to walk through the park and go back to my house that way, it was slightly longer but it was a very nice day, perfect weather I'd say. The sun was out, smiling away, blue sky with a couple small fluffy clouds. There was a cool, refreshing breeze which was perfect to wake everyone up and make them feel calm. We were all walking through the park when I felt a tug on my hair. I turned around to seeing Finn place my black floppy hat on his head and doing an over-exaggerated cat walk. I laughed hysterically at how cute this was. I paired the hat with a beautiful burgandee maxi dress and I think this was a perfect outfit for summer's day.

It looks something like this, ignore the model and imagine it on Chloe
I ran after him, past everyone else and he began running off the path into some bushes. I turned back to see the other four following so I began chasing after Finn. Suddenly, he disappears through a small gap in one of the hedges. I was very hesitant on what to do but my curiosity got the better of me and I ran through, shutting my eyes tightly to protect them from some twigs sticking out of the opening. I stumble into...what looked like an entire new world. I've never seen it before! It was a massive field, filled with the most vibrant flowers you could think off. I could see Finn in the distance, still wearing my hat and realised how perfect he looked in that moment. He stood there,in his black jeans, pink shirt and my hat with the sun perfectly lighting up his face. I began walking up to him and he smirked when he saw me.
As I got closer, he checked if anyone was behind me, gave a sigh of relief and smiled at me. He pulled me in for a hug and I wrapped my arms tightly around his torso and felt his arms go around my waist. I took a deep breath in and turned to face him, our arms still locked in place. Finn looked deeply into my eyes and I could see so much in them. So much love, so much joy and pure perfection. I felt our faces getting closer and remembered that the others were somewhere behind us but...screw it! I crashed my lips onto his feeling my stomach burn from the crazy butterflies. Nothing could ruin this moment. His hands tightened around my waist, pulling me in even closer and I moved my hands to his neck. I grabbed my hat off his head and propped it on mine but it failed to stay on so fell to the ground. I ignored it though. The kiss was all that was going through my mind. We both pulled away realising where we were and just looked at each other. I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks and I realised that he was blushing long before me.
We both began walking back to the gap in the hedges when the others met us mid-way. They all gave us suspicious smiles before I broke the silence "Let's go home now!" They nodded and we made our way to the entrance of the park. We all walked in a line and I noticed that Sadie and Toby were still acting wierd but I decided to let it slip once again. Noah was also quiet but I assumed it was because he was the only one who knew of me and Finn. And Damon, was fine and as goofy as ever. While we walked on, I heard a deep voice from behind me. A man, I'd say slightly older than me walked up to me, gave me my hat and swiftly walked away. Why was he acting so wierd?

When we got back home, we decided to do a barbecue for lunch. Why? I dunno. We planned that the guys can all go out and and get everything we need while Sadie and I put all the bedding away from last night, cleaned up and then started making the things for the barbecue like the salad. Sadie and I waved off the guys as Finn drove them away to the nearby supermarket.
"Sadie..." I said as I was folding up one of the blankets.
"mmhm"
"Did anything happen...between you and Toby?" I said, scared to hear the answer.
She sighed and plopped herself down on the almost deflated air bed. I crouched down next to her. Ready to comfort my best friend.
"Last night, while you and Finn were sound asleep and Damon was snoring away, Noah said he wanted to speak to me. He assumed everyone was asleep, including Toby so he said everything."
"What do you mean 'everything?'" I replied
"He said that he has feelings for me and that he hates seeing me with Toby. He said that I deserve better and that I should really think about this" she ranted
I was speechless.
Noah. Liked. Sadie?
"And that's not all, Toby heard." she continued
My eyes widened and I searched her face for any sign of certainty about what she was going to do. She looked clue less.
"Noah is like a brother to me. And I love Toby. This is putting a strain on their friendship and might effect the whole group." she rambled as tears threatened to pour from her eyes.
"Oh Sadie..." I enveloped her in a hug as she tried to calm down. We stayed like that in silence for a while.
I pulled away but kept my hands on her shoulder. "We'll get through this. We can fix this. And this isn't going to effect your relationship with Toby or your friendship with Noah. I promise."
This was so new to me. Sadie and Noah always got along so well. He always made her laugh and they were a pair. But never in a million years did I expect this to happen. And It's breaking Sadie. She was always so protective of the group and she cares about each of us SO much. I can see that she's blaming herself for all this.

We finished up the bedding and moved downstairs to the kitchen. I put some music on through the speakers just for motivation because the kitchen was a mess. After cleaning, we began to gather the ingredients we did have and all the saucepans we would need. The boys arrived with 2 grocery bags each. They dumped all the things on the kitchen couch and walked to the living room without a single word. I followed behind to see where they were all going and they all just slumped down on the sofas with over dramatic groans.
"GUYS!" I shouted
"Huh" they said in unison
"We have lots to do, so get your butts up and go, go go!"
They all jumped up and the living room was empty in a second. I laughed to myself and went into the kitchen to join everyone. Sadie was boiling some potatoes for the potato salad and some pasta. Damon and Noah were squealing as they had to handle the raw meat and Finn and Toby made casual small talk as they chopped all the veg. I turned the music up and all of us were singing our hearts out as did our part for out spontaneous barbecue.
