Hailey **

today I said my last goodbyes to Amber and dash and she promised that she would visit us in la when she has the time to do so.

"I'll miss you." Jack hugged her.

"I'll miss you too babe." She cried. "I'll visit you guys in la when I have time." And after those words, she left.

We were all silent and wrapped in our own thoughts before Easton broke the silence saying, "We booked your flight with us Hailey. Do you still want to move out together when we're seventeen?"

"Yeah, sure. But remember we have to share chores. I cook the food, you do the dishes, you clean up the living, and I clean the kitchen. Deal?" I asked holding my arm out.

It looked like he was about to decline before he finally gave in, shaking my hand. "Oh, and one more thing." I said quickly. "I get the master bedroom."

"What? No fair! I'm older!" he pouted.

"Yeah, by like one minute." I scoffed. "Plus it's less of a space you'll have to clean when I make you."

"Fine...but I get to choose what meals you have to cook for us for dinner." He said.

"Deal. I'll make your fajitas and enchiladas." I said.

"How does that thing work?" zach asked us bewildered.

"What?" we asked confused at the same time.

"Like that thing where you can read each other's minds. Twin telepathy." he said.

"I just know my twin really well." I explained. "I know he's been craving fajitas and enchiladas ever since he's brought up the idea of eating burritos."

"Can we come?" Daniel asked. "We'll bring chips and salsa."

I laughed really hard that my ribs hurt. It wasn't even funny, but I still laughed. "Sure." I said.

"Have you ever tried her breakfast buffet?" Corbyn asked dreamily.

"Yeah. Three times actually." Easton said.

"I remember she woke us up early-" Jonah started.

"10:30." I coughed.

He just ignored me and went on. "Just so we could eat. She kicked someone too I think."

"I did not kill co anyone." I said crossing my arms. "I just threatened that Corbyn will eat all the food."

"I think I was the one you kicked." Jack said.

"Don't lie." Zach scowled at him.

"I'm not!" he said.

"Guys I'm hungry." Corbyn said. We all stopped talking and listened to our growling stomachs.

"Panera bread guys?" Easton asked. "I'm craving."

"Sounds good."

"I'll eat only cookies."

"I'm going to have six sandwiches.

"That's a yes." Logan said. Oh. Ha I forgot he was even here. "Miss me anyone?"

Easton made a call and they said that they would bring it to the lobby and he took our orders.

"You guys want to play truth or dare?" Daniel asked. Everyone said yes.

"Okay. Corbyn. Truth or dare?" Zach asked.

"Dare." he said grinning.

"I dare you to get your chicken onesie, put it on, and cluck like a chicken in Times Square." Zach grinned.

"You have one?" I asked laughing. He laughed and nodded and went to his room to get his onesie.

///

We walked to Times Square and Corbyn was going wild all over the place. a few people said "shut the fuck up." to him.

///

"Okay Zach. Truth or dare?" Jonah asked.

"Dare."

"I dare you to propose to Hailey tonight at dinner. You guys aren't actually going to get married now, but I just want the free dessert." Jonah said truthfully.

"Deal."

"Hailey, truth or dare?" Jack asked me.

"Uh, how about truth?" I said.

A lot of people groaned but then Jack said "Who was your first kiss?"

"Oh yeah. It was back in kindergarten and that didn't mean a thing. It was actually Cameron Dallas, but we were playing spin the bottle." I laughed nervously. "We're just friends though."

"Does he know about me?" Zach asked suspiciously.

"Of course! I talk about you a lot to him when we text." I said kissing him. He blushed.

"What about me?" Corbyn asked.

"Oh yeah. He wants to have an eating contest with you, Jonah, and Easton. I'll have to warn you though...he eats as much as Corbyn.

At dinner we went to this grill and we got grilled chicken with a hint of lemon. It was actually really good.

Zach cleared his throat. I quickly slipped him my ring and he got down on one knee in front of me, clearing his throat. Everyone went silent and looked at us.

"I just want you all to know, that I'm lucky to call this girl my girlfriend. She's smart, beautiful, and talented. But today, I'm hoping that she'll call me her husband. Hailey Paul, would you do the honor of being my wife?" Zach asked pulling out my ring.

I covered my mouth and tears formed in my eyes. I knew this was all fake, but still. "Yes." I managed to squeak out. Everyone started crowding around us admiring my ring as Zach slipped it on. a few waiters and waitresses clapped and they brought out a cake.

"DID MY BEST FRIEND JUST GET ENGAGED?" I heard a familiar voice yell out.

"CAMERON! I missed you so much!" I said running into his arms.

"So which one is Zach? Nevermind, I saw him. He's now your fiancè. Now which ones are Corbyn and Jonah?" He asked.

I laughed and leaned into Zach, pointing at Jonah and Corbyn. "Hey, I'm Jonah, and that's Corbyn. Over there is Daniel and Jack." Jonah introduced himself.

"Cool. Nice to meet you all." He said. "I hope you're guys put up a good fight for the contest. No one has ever beaten me before."

Me and Zach fed each other cake and everyone was catching up with Cameron except for me. I was worried about Keely for some reason, and I don't know why.

bummer, you'll find out when I get back from camp. there's going to be one more chapter that I'm going to write tmmr before I go to camp.
