Kerry's P.O.V

I looked up at the door through my vanity mirror when I heard it open and there stood Mikey, leaning against the door frame. "Can I help you?" I smiled at him and carried on getting ready for the day. Not putting much effort into anything. Light makeup and messy hair was the look for the day and I was feeling myself.

"Well... you see... I was sitting downstairs, and started to think... we've never actually been on a proper date... so I Mikey Cobban would like to invite you, Kerry Dreelan, on a little date. Nothing big!" I started grinning ear-to-ear and spun around in my white desk chair. I stood up and skipped over to him. I pecked Mikey gently on the cheek then nodded like a little 4-year-old. We both started to laugh at my childish ways then started to talk again once we'd calmed down. "So, where are we going? Or am I not allowed to know?" I sat down at my desk again, finished my eye makeup while Mikey sat down on my newly made bed.

"I wasn't thinking anything big. Something like going to the boys and I's 'secret location' and going for a walk. Maybe take your camera and take some Instagram pictures then go somewhere to eat, like a little cafe?" I started to blush at the cute idea and agreed with his idea. "We'll leave in 10 minutes, if that's okay with you?" I nodded once again and Mikey got up and left. Something was wrong with him. He's voice was higher than normal and he was almost shaking which is really weird. I brush it off and start to put my makeup away and stood up. I headed downstairs but before grabbed a jacket and my phone.

My outfit consisted of plain black leggings, a white knitted jumper and a khaki green rain coat. It was warm outside but definitely not warm enough for bare arms. I jogged down the stairs, and entered the open plan kitchen/living room to find Jack, Andy and Rye on the coach, watching the news and Mikey sitting at the middle island on his phone. I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of orange juice from it. "You ready to go?" Mikey turned off his phone and stood up, nodding. We shouted a bye to the boys and go into my car.

Like every other car journey we go on, we plugged one of the phones in, hit shuffle on music and screamed every lyric. We pulled into the car park and got out. I intertwined my fingers with Mikeys and started to walk. I took my camera out of my bag and started to take random photos of the lake and trees when Mikey came up with an idea. "Whoever can take the best picture, you using your camera and me on my phone, doesn't have to pay for lunch" I gave him a weird look cause he knew I would get the best picture so what was the point. I didn't say anything though and just went with it.

We had been walking for almost 2 hours, hundreds of photos had been taken and the sun had started to set. Mikey and I sat down on one of the grass banks that surrounded the massive pond. I sat my camera down between us and Mikey grabbed it. I looked up as he got stood up, and heard the click of the shutter. I took it back from him then started to take random photos of him as he pulled heaps of stupid poses causing me to laugh until I snorted. After about 100 pictures, I stopped and looked at a couple. I started to giggle to myself quietly when Mikey's phone went off, causing a loud ding. He took one look at it then extending his arm, holding his hand for me to grab. "We heading home?" Mikey shook his head no and we started to walk again - Further into the woods. I took a tight hold of Mikeys arm and started to slightly freak out until I saw lights in the distance.

We arrived in front of a tree with fairy lights dangling down, a picnic beautiful spread out across a blanket and little fake candles were placed around the food in a little heart. I turned to Mikey with a massive grin on my face and my eyes started to water. He pulled me into a hug and began to chuckle, causing his chest to vibrate ever so slightly. I pulled away from his embrace and we sat down and dug into the food, "How did you do all this?"

I was still grinning ear from ear and could barely think straight cause I was so happy. "You'll have to wait and see in a couple minutes" I became even more confused but had trust in Mikey. Once we had finished the food, I started to pack up everything into the little wicker basket when music started to play behind me. I spun around to find Andy and Jack playing guitars and the others singing. My smile grew bigger as the song came to an end, I ran up to them and was engulfed in a massive group hug. One we pulled away, Brooklyn took hold of my shoulder and turned me round. I was met with Mikey kneeling down on one knee. My hands flew up to my mouth and eyes started to water again, this time tears actually falling. Jack started to play a gentle melody on the guitar and Mikey spoke up.

"Don't worry, this isn't what you think it is. One day I hope to be down on one knee again but today isn't that day. Ever since you joined us lot, you've been through hell. You have definitely had your fair shares of ups and downs. We all love you for who you are but they'd be lying if they said they loved you as much as I love you. There will be the day when we go to the end and come back again cause my heart skips a beat every time I hear your name. I'm not asking you to marry me but I will get down on my knee to ask for your trust because I promise to never let anything get in the way of you and I" Mikey pulled out a little pandora box with a gold ring. It was simple but cute with a little heart engraved with the letter M. I started to cry more as he slipped the ring on my middle finger. Mikey stood up and I leaped into his arms, hiding my head into his neck.

Once I had calmed down slightly, I started to laugh, "How the HELL did you guys keep this quiet? We all know how bad Brooklyn and Rye are at keeping secrets" The boys all shrugged their shoulders and we all started to laugh. The sun had completely set by this point and it was getting pretty late so we finished packing up everything and headed back to the cars. I leaped onto Mikey's back being to tired to do anything but he started complaining so I jumped down and started to sulk but suddenly was lifted off the ground by Rye causing me to let out a loud laugh.

When they say you can only love one person at a time, it isn't true. When ever I look at any of them, where it be Jack, Brooklyn, Andy, Rye or Mikey, all I can think about is how much love I have for them all. I seriously couldn't ask for a better bunch of friends. I got lucky with this lot cause they've made me realise - Love Does Exist.
