*Amber POV*

I didn't expect my house would be this big and beautiful! It is located, just out of town and surrounded by trees. It has a little, cute path up to the front door and it makes the luxurious look complete. I get to my room and open the door. The first thing I notice is that I have a perfect, breathtaking view from my window.
I couldn't imagine how it would feel to be back in LA. I didn't only miss the boys. I also missed the beach, the trees, the scent of the air. And most of all... The good times with all the nice people here. I'm unpacking when I hear my ringtone. New text from Jonah.

I turn my phone off and keep unpacking

I turn my phone off and keep unpacking. I know I shouldn't cut him off like that but I can't pretend that I am happy... Not with the thought that he prefers Tatum more than me. The doorbell rings and I hear Hanna from downstairs: "Is Amber here?" My mom tells her to go upstairs and seconds later, she walks in: "Hey girl! Are you ready to prepare the party?" I reply with an excited "yes!" and take out my laptop. Hanna took a little notebook with her and she sits down next to me.

"Alrighty. First of all. Music. What about. Why Don't We?" I say with a smirk. We crack up laughing and disagree on it. After a few hours, we decide to stop. "I hope they are going to like it", I yawn. Hanna hugs me: "oh, I bet they will." She asks why my phone is off and I tell her I don't want to get interrupted by certain people. She doesn't know I am talking about Jonah and I keep it that way. She nodd and my mom asks if Hanna is staying for dinner. "No. I actually was about to leave now", she answers, "be sure to call me for help. Okay?" I nodd, give her a hug and lead her out.

I expected Jonah would send me more texts after me cutting him off, but I wasn't prepared for the storm he left behind.

I throw my phone on my bed and check the things for the party once again. Alsace joins in through Skype and together we update the playlist, go through the "opening" one more time and laugh at the thought of how the boys will react. All in a sudden, Alsace becomes serious. She is holding her phone: "Ambi? Are you mad at Jonah?" I gasp, shocked: "No! What makes you think that?!"

She shows me her phone: "Jonah asked me. He says you've been acting strange lately. He says you left him on 'read'." I sigh: "I'm not mad at all... I just don't want to talk to him right now." She shakes her head, rubs her eyes and yells at me only best friends would do.

"What is wrong with you! You love him! You are IN love with him!" I respond with a harsh "No! I am not!" and hide my cheeks which are going red. She smiles: "well, he is in love with you."

I sigh: "Al.... He has a girlfriend. Didn't he tell you?" Her reaction is exactly what I thought it would be: "No?! How dare he not telling me?! I'm gonna text him!" I laugh, tell her I have to go and she smiles at me: "see ya in 2 days!"

"See ya!"
