Lunch with the boys was amazing! God I have awesome friends. After lunch, we went to the mall for some summer clothes shopping... yay!!, and then to IKEA to conclude the day. I've been wanting to reconstruct my bedroom for awhile. It looks like a preteen threw up all over it. I still have a twin sized bed from when I was 12. I mean, I'm short so I still fit. But still. I'm 18, I need a more adult room.
My dad is a doctor, a neurosurgeon. My mom was a lawyer. She died when I was 12. Cancer. It sucked... It still sucks. But, my dad does a great job with me and my siblings. I'm the baby of 4. 2 older brothers, Ben and Garret, 20 (they're twins) and my older sister, Norah, is 22. Norah has a son, Holden, he's turning 5 soon. She got pregnant when she was 17 with her, then, boyfriend Wyatt. They moved away to Nevada. Wyatt cheated on her with her best friend and she moved back home. Our house is huge and we have an in-law's apartment connected so she lives there now. Ben and Garret both play football, hockey, and baseball for Yale in Connecticut. I miss them a lot but we fly out there quite often and FaceTime on the daily. ANYWAYSSS
Before we left, my dad gave me his credit card to get what I need. The boys stayed to help me build everything and rearrange and this is what we came up with.

They were all too tired to drive all the way home so we crashed at my place. Jonah, Zach, Daniel and Jack slept in my bed and Corbyn and I slept on the two couches in my room.
"Abby, I love you. I have since the day I met you." He said twirling my fingers in his. He gazed down at me with his gorgeous blue eyes. He pushed a piece of hair behind my ear and I found our faces closer and closer and...
"Abby, wake up," I was woken from my dream, only I wish it wasn't one, by a very gentle nudging on my shoulder. I wipe my eyes and see Jonah standing over me. He grabbed my hand and pulled my limp and drowsy body across the room, down the stairs, and outside on my porch. He walked me over to the porch swing and we sat down, still having a grasp on my hands.
"Abby... there's something I need to tell you"
"Um, ok..." I say still groggy.
"So, I've been thinking.. about, ya know, yesterday?
"What about it?" I ask, worried he wanted to take it all back.
"Well, I realized, I never got to technically ask you that really important question..." He smiled and scooted closer to me. "Abby, I know this may be a little too soon, but I've waited 2 years to ask you this, and I don't want to waste another minute. Will you be my girlfriend?"
I smiled from ear to ear and leaped forward into his arms. "Of Course Jo"
We stand up and I jump into his arms. He holds me tight and buries his forehead in the crook of my neck. Next thing we know we hear the boys clapping and cheering. We roll our eyes and Jonah sets me back down on my feet.
All four of the boys bombard us with hugs and kisses.
"Ayee Jo boy you finally grew a pair" Jack chuckled and patted him on the back.
"Woah, woah, woah, let's leave these two love birds alone." Dan winked at us and grabbed the boys, who were now whining that they had to leave.
I waved by to the boys and turned back to Jonah, who was staring at me, smiling :). He moved his hand down the small of my back and kissed my forehead.
"Why do I feel like we're sending our kids off to summer camp" We shared a laugh for a minute before he picked me up and walked me inside back upstairs to my bedroom. We plopped dpwn on the bed.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked him, running my fingers through his hair. He sat up quickly and looked at me with his adorable smile.
"Whatever you want" He gave me a cheesy ass smile and then cuddled up next to me. "I do have to be at the studio around 4 though."
"Ok, well we can just lay around then, no need to go out and have fun if you have to leave in a few hours." He agreed and we climbed under the covers and started watching an old movie, my favorite, Dead Poet Society, with Robin Williams.
