After girls nights out, doing activities with the group and going on dates with Nate it was finally time to go home. Landing back in Rosewood, we all got our luggage and got an Uber. Saying goodbye to everyone I got out of the car and went into my house.

"Dad! Luke! I'm home!" I shout out as I close the front door. Leaving my suitcase by the door I walked into the kitchen to see my dad, Luke, Kiana, Julie and Alex sitting at the dining table having a Chinese takeaway.

"Hi darling, you want some dinner?" My dad looked up from filling up his plate and asked. Hearing my stomach rumble I nodded my head and went to sit down next to Alex.

"How was LA?" Luke asked. Whilst enjoying our dinner I told the family how fun LA was.

Making my way to the bathroom I ended up bumping into someone. "Sorry."

"Hey girl is everything okay?" Kiana asked looking concerned.

"Everything's okay why you ask?"

"Because I know you and you are never that deep into your phone." She pointed to the phone that I held tightly close to my face. "And well you also have that sad puppy look going on."

Sighing I told her that I haven't heard anything from Nate for two days. Yeah two days don't seem a lot but with everything going on with the Sanders a lot can happen in two days.

"Aw don't worry about it he's probably busy plus it's morning he'll probably get to you later in the day." She smiled.

Desperate for the toilet I give her a fake smile and enter the bathroom. If only she knew the Sanders like I do I thought to myself.

Fidgeting with my breakfast Kiana pulled my plate away from me. "Right we are going shopping."

"What for?" I looked up to her pissed she took my food away.

"I don't know. Don't you start uni soon maybe we could go dorm shopping."

"Ain't it early for dorm shopping."

"Whatever now get dressed." She pulled me up from the stool and lightly pushed me out the door.

Worried about Nate and Hayden I wasn't really excited about dorm shopping like those people on YouTube although I did find some cute stationary. Seeing how dorm shopping was no help Kiana brought us to a bridal boutique. Okay now I'm slowly becoming distracted.

"A bridal boutique. I thought you and Luke decided to wait a few months."

"Months go quick you know and also this is just to get some ideas of what I actually want my dress to look." Kiana led the way in the boutique. After telling the women who works here her preferences we were brought into a little room with a massive mirror and two chairs five minutes later.

Soon after the women came in with five dresses and then the fashion show started. It was fun seeing the gorgeous dresses and a giddy Kiana but when it came to waiting for her to put the dress on and take it off it wasn't hard to be sidetracked. Once Kiana was done we had some lunch and headed back home. Still getting a dull vibe from me Kiana decided that we sit down and watch that new romantic comedy on Netflix which was amazing. It was the type of movie that gives you a happy feeling at the end but that didn't stop me from thinking about my own love life and how Nate still hasn't responded to my message. Annoyed I thought it would be a good idea to just go over to his and see whats going on. Which I did.

Walking over to his front door it suddenly opened. I stepped back letting Hayden, who looks neutral, come out.

"Hey." My voice was sounded hesitate.

Hayden looked up. "You. Of course it's you." Is he angry with me? "I can't believe it Mia we were friends before Nate how could you keep such a secret from me?"

He walked past me. He didn't even look at me. "Hayden!" I stop him from leaving. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you so bad but it wasn't my place to say anything so I tried to persuade Nate to tell you."

Seconds later Hayden began to laugh. "Aw look at your face. You look so sad. I didnt know you love me so much."

"You dick!" I fast walked over to him and pushed him. "Why would you do that to me. That wasn't even funny. God!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He grabbed hold of my wrists to stop me from pushing him. "I was pissed though that you knew and didn't say anything but my family had a talk and everything seems to be falling into place." He said that with a genuine smile.

"So where are you going?"

"Josh's. The information is still pretty new to me."

"Well you still have me to talk to."

"I know. I wanted to tell you so bad but it wasn't my place to say anything." He mimicked me with a crying voice.

"Shut up. I don't sound like that." I pushed him towards his car. Waving goodbye to Hayden I entered the Sanders house.

"Hello."

"Mia!" Izzy ran up to me and hugged me.

"Hey Izzy is Nate here?."

"Yeah he's in his room."

Wanting to see Nate I head upstairs to his room. Walking in I see him laying on his bed reading of course. "So readings your true love noted."

He looked up at me from his book through those cute reading glasses of his. "Mia. Hey what's up?"

"The ceiling." I answered bluntly. Does he seriously not know why I'm here.

"What?" He asked as he sat up on the bed.

"You. You idiot. You haven't responded to any of my messages I was worried something happened but thankfully Hayden shut those thoughts down."

"Oh sorry. I haven't been on my phone with everything that's going on my head's been all over the place. I don't even know where my phone is."

"Oh do you want to talk? I heard everything's sorted but what exactly does that mean?" I questioned as I sit opposite him on the bed.

"Well it seems Hayden's going to become the main man of the business well after uni of course."

"What I can't believe this! Why didn't he tell me?" I say excited for him.

"Well he seems to not believe it himself."

"Okay what about you?"

"I'm going to do what I've always wanted to do and help Hayden with the business whenever he needs me."

"That's good to hear. I can see how happy you are in your eyes."

"I would be way happier if you were by my side through it all."

"Why wouldn't I be."

"You going uni aren't you?"

"Yeah the same uni as you."

"Still your a beautiful girl anything is possible."

"Says you Nate Sanders."

"Meh." He wrapped his arm around me pulling me into him as he laid back down on the bed.

Turning my body towards him I gently move his face to face me. "Stop worrying because I love you too much."

He smiled at this. "I love you more."
