" Wait I can't be grounded!"
"And why not?"
"I'm going Christmas shopping with Christina when she comes in."
"Oh good I can come with you."
"Uh no you can't, it's a girls day and Im buying for you."
"I won't look what you got me."
"Hey Zach you want to go paint balling with Jonah, Daniel, and I tomorrow." Jack said
"No he can't" Corbyn said
"What? Why not?" Zach said
"You were the other one on the bed, you are coming with us to shopping." Corbyn said
He rolled his eyes and went upstairs
Christina came in that night and we were going shopping tomorrow
*tomorrow*
"Everybody ready?"
"Yeah" we said and we all went to the mall
"Why are those two here again?" Christina asked me
"Punishment"
"For what?"
"Zach and I sleeping in one bed."
"Ohhh.... did anything happen?"
"Absolutely nothing, we fell asleep watching movies."
"How'd he find out?"
"I came out of the room with his shirt on."
" rookie mistake." She said laughing
We turned around to tell the boys we were going on the store and they weren't there.
" they probably ran out to the store." Christina said
" I'll text Zach and tell him to meet us in the store."
                         Rosy Cheeks❤️
Gracie💚: hey babe, meet us in Banana Republic after you and Corb are done with whatever your doing.
Rosy Cheeks❤️: ok
"Weird, he only said ok back to me."
"Corbyn is probably just giving him a hard time about something."
Zach POV
Corbyn and I were walking behind the girls when someone wrapped there hands around our mouth and pulled us into the men's bathroom. We turned around and saw who it was.
"What? How are you here?what do you want? "
"Broke out of that awful jail, now to get back to my revenge." Ryan said
My phone buzzed and saw it was a text from Gracie
"What's it say?" Ryan said
"Telling us where to meet them." I said
"Answer her and I'll finish this deal." I did what he said and he continued:
"So this is what's going to happen, your going to send her back to the orphanage, or else."
" or else what? " Corbyn said
" or else I take your precious Christina somewhere you'll never find her."
"Ok, ok I'll send her back."
" Great, because guess who's going to adopt her."
"Who?"
"Me"
"How? How old are you?"
"18"
We rolled our eyes and went out of the bathroom. We met up with the girls in Banana Republic.
"Uh......Gracie, we have something to tell you." Corbyn said
"Oh ok?" She said
"We need to ....... send you back." He said
"Are you serious ?! From all we've been through! Why?"
"R-Ryan is out of jail." I said
"Omg" Christina said
"He made a deal with us." I said
We explained the deal and they stood their shocked.
"My life is going to be a living hell..... but of course I'll go." Gracie said
"No no no, let him take me." Christina said
"No, I'm going with him. I will inform you guys if he does anything illegal, and you guys can arrest him again. When am I leaving?" Gracie said
"Tomorrow."
"Just great" she said
We went home and told the others about what happened.
Gracie POV
We got home and told the boys what happened, I started to have a breakdown. They comforted me until I calmed down. I went upstairs and started to pack. I heard a knock on my door and saw Zach standing there.
"We won't end this right?" I said
"Of course not. We will talk everyday."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
He came over and hugged me, I started to cry again.
"I want you to have this." He said giving me a necklace that said "Zach"
"Oh my God I love it!" He then showed me a key chain he had that said Gracie
"I was going to give it to you for Christmas but ya know." He said frowning
We then started kissing , it felt good because O knew I wouldn't have this for a long time with him. That night we all slept down stairs together one last time.......
*the next morning*
We woke up by my alarm going off meaning I have a hour until he comes. I got ready, finished packing, and ate breakfast. We all then shot our heads up when the doorbell rang. Corbyn got up and answered it, he motioned someone in, and in stepped Ryan.
"Let's go." He said
"I don't know when I'll see them again, so your going to give me a couple minutes!" I said and he put his hands up in surrender
First I went to Christina:
"Christina, you are beautiful in every way, stay with Corbyn because he really really loves you, and stick to your beauty stuff and YouTube, your going to be big, trust me. Thank you for being my best friend."
We both were crying as we hugged and I moved on
Next I went to Jack:
"Oh ramen, where do I start, I love you so much, thanks for being the most gullible
uncle ever. Keep being you and keep the perm.
You are the funniest person on earth and I don't think I would be as happy as I was without you in my life."
We hugged a while and he kissed me on my forehead.
Next was Daniel:
"I love you so much Uncle Dani, you don't even know. From that heavenly voice to that cute tooth gap. You are perfect in every way, you are always so kind and happy, and I didn't know how you do it, keep being you. You are an awesome person, and I'm really really going to miss you." We hugged and he kissed me on the cheek.
Next was Jonah:
"Oh Uncle J, where do I begin. Your such a ladies man bud, but your my man, with the accretion of Tate. I love you so so much, and I don't want to know a life without you in it. I'm going to miss you so so much, never give up with anything you do. And you are so wise, so keep the other boys in line." We also hugged and he kissed me on my forehead.
Next was Zach:
"Oh my God Zach, I loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. You are my everything, you are so talented, handsome, and charming. We will FaceTime every single day, and keep what we have alive. I'm going to miss your hoodies, hugs, and kisses so much. Please don't check out any other girls, but if your not happy with me, you need to tell me. I love you baby."
We kissed.....a lot and I had my legs wrapped around his waist.
Lastly was Corbyn:
"Dad, thank you for all you did for me, even when you were a tad ridiculous. Thank you for adopting me, and being the best dad ever to live. I know this whole parenting thing was hard, but you killed it. You will forever and always be my dad. I love you with my whole heart and soul , and I hope you know that. Please remember me. "
We hugged for a long long time and all of us started crying.
"Group hug?" Jack said and we all went in for it
"Ugh... that sob story was so cringe, can we go now?" Ryan said
I nodded and grabbed my bags, I looked at the boys and Christina and waved as I walked out the door, I'm going to miss them so much.
The car drive was silent until we pulled up to the airport.
"What are we doing here?" I said
"You didn't think we were staying in LA, did you?"
"Where are we going?"
"Rhode Island."
"That's across the country!"
"Well I got to make sure they don't find you."
I rolled my eyes and we went inside the airport.
*time skip to when the land cuz I'm too lazy lol*
We called an Uber and got our bags as we made our way into a little town into a little apartment.
"Ok so you take one room and I'll take the other. No leaving without me and give me your phone."
"What?! No, I'm not giving you my phone."
"Uh yeah you are, or I'll have someone do something to your old family in LA."
I gave him my phone and he gave it back to me 15 minutes later. I looked to see he deleted all my social media, and all the boys numbers from my phone, even the girls and Logan.
There was no way to communicate with them, I was never going to see them again.
*time skip to going back to school, at a real high school, and not Home schooling like what I did with the boys.*
Well today, Im going back to high school, on my birthday. One more year until I can move out of this hell. Ryan is awful to me, I want to go back to the boys so bad. I arrive to school and go to the front desk.
" hi I'm the new student, I'm here for my tour and locker."
"Hi, Miss Long here will show you around."
I saw a pretty girl stand up from the bench and come over to me.
"Hi. I'm Alli , your Gracie right?"
"Yeah, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too."
She showed me to my locker and all my morning classes, then we had lunch together.
"So Gracie, let's do 21 questions?"
"Sure, I'll go first.what is your favorite color?"
"Yellow"
"Mines green. You go next."
"Ummm........ what's your favorite song?"
"Probably "Say Amen" by Panic! At The Disco"
"Oh cool, mine is These Girls."
"What did you say ?"

"These Girls, ever heard of it, it's from a boy band I'm literally obsessed with."
"By Why Dont We?"
"Oh so you do know them!"
The thought of them literally broke my heart.
"Yeah, a little too well. Do you have your phone with you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Can I check their instagrams from your phone, I'm not allowed to have Instagram."
"Yeah sure, here." She handed me my phone and I searched how they were , everybody seemed ok but then I checked Zach. There was picture with him and a girl, holding hands. My heart dropped into my stomach and I ran out of the cafeteria into the girls bathroom. I sat down and started crying, Alli ran in a minute after and comforted me. I was going to explain after, but the bell rang. I wiped my tears and told her to come to my house after school. Ryan wouldn't let me over anyone else's house so she had to come to mine. After school Alli came to my house and I explained the whole thing to her.
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry."
"It doesn't matter anymore, they clearly moved on." I then ripped my Zach necklace off and put it in my lock box.
*time skip onto graduation day*
I'm graduating high school today, and I plan leaving tomorrow, I don't know where, but I'm leaving. I've only had one friend this year,Alli and at home was a living nightmare. I missed my old life and would do anything to get back to it. I would check the boys stuff on Alli's phone and everyone has a girlfriend, and they are now on tour. I think I'm going to NY, start a career there. I graduate and say my goodbyes to Alli, I go home because Ryan didn't come and I run up to my room, I pack and throw my stuff out the back window.
"I'm taking a walk."
"Ok, you have 10 minutes."
"Ok"
Ten minutes to get as far as I can from here.
I secretly stole the car keys and grabbed my bags. I jumped in the car and drove far away, not even looking back, I also deleted his number leaving only one phone number in my phone, Alli. Meaning one person in the world that cares about me, just great. Oh and I forgot to say, I stole a lot of money from him too. I drove to a train station and got on a train to NY. On the way there I got all social media back, but didn't follow the boys, I don't want them following me. But they are so big now, they would think I'm just another fan. I looked at their tour dates and saw they are coming to NY, in a week. Should I go?
