Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now"

As I sat by the pool, I find myself wondering, when will I tell the boys about my phobias? My family has always known, but swore to keep it a secret until I tell anyone.

I don't know what the boys would think either. Would they really want a girl with like 4 phobias in their house?

My thoughts were interupted by footsteps sounding behind me. I didn't bother to look up. They'd leave soon.

"You okay, Milan?" Nevermind.

"Yeah. Just fine." I looked back to see Jonah. Just like that night.

He sat down by me and sighed, "I'm sorry. I don't know what's got into me. All I know is-"

"I want my best friend back." We said in unison.

He looked at me weirdly, "How'd you know?"

I smiled, "That's what I was feeling too."

He smiled back, "So, what I'm hearing is, you forgive me?"

"Of course I forgive you, ya big goof." I laughed.

We sat and talked for a little while more. Then, I told him goodnight and we headed up to bed.

I was happy we were okay again. That was the only thing on my mind as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning happy. I took a quick shower before slipping into sweats and a t-shirt.

I walked downstairs to see Jonah cooking. I smiled and got a cup of coffee, then sat down.

Jonah turned to me, "What we're you thinking about last night?"

I choked on my coffee, "Nothing. Ya, nothing."

"Stop. Tell meeee!" He pushed.

"You guys aren't ready. It personal.." I whispered the last sentence.

"Well, when you're ready, tell me and the boys. It seems big." He said.

I nodded, then we woke everyone up for breakfast. Everyone took a seat and we started eating the amazing food Jonah prepared.

Afterwards, we just sat around talking and messing around.. that was until Skylar spoke up.

"Hey, who's down for swimming?"

We all nodded and changed quickly. When I was done changing, I walked outside to see almost everyone else. The band and Dane were already in the water, Sky was putting on sunscreen, and Casey was nowhere to be seen. I shrugged it off and walked towards the pool.

As I neared the water, someone picked me up from behind and jumped in with me, still in their arms. Only one logical answer who it is.

I came up for air and yelled, "Casey Hill! What we're you thinking!?"

Casey just laughed, "Wanted to have some fun with my other half."

We all laughed and continued to swim for a couple more hours. Afterwards we had lunch, then played some games.

Right now, we were just asking each other questions.

"Casey, have you ever lied to your twin?" Zach asked.

"Careful.." I warned.

He hesitated, "...yes."

I glared at him while the others laughed, "What about, dear brother?"

"I don't know, I just know I have." He said nervously. I nodded and he continued, "Mikey, who....?"

The day went on like this until dinner. After eating, we just watched movies. It was just a chill day for us all. I was totally okay with this, after how busy I've been.

I went to bed thinking that maybe this is where I'm supposed to be.

Maybe.
