all of us walk over to Breckin and Daniels room. Corbyn still won't tell us where we're going but i'm assuming it's somewhere really good.
"open up!" corbyn bangs on their door loudly.
"corbyn, you're going to get us kicked out of here."
"oops, my bad." he all laugh and Daniel opens the door.
"jeez, why'd you have to bang on the dang door so hard?" corbyn shrugs.
"sorry man, i'm just excited!" Breckin then walks out and joins me with all the guys.
"hey breck." she smiles.
"hey ash!" she looks so happy with Daniel. just then Zach comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me. i giggle. he kisses my cheek then grabs my hand gently. we were walking on a random sidewalk for like 10 minutes when we stop in front of a very colorful and bright restaurant.
"here it is guys." corbyn smiles.
"it's cute!"
"i know the head chef, he's really good friends with my family."
"that's awesome." we all walk inside and the hostess immediately recognizes Corbyn.
"Corbyn! how are you?"
"really good, thanks Jen!" she smiles and grabs some menus.
"follow me." she leads us back into a private room that has a huge window overlooking the beautiful ocean water. "here you go guys, a waitress will be in shortly to take your orders."
"thank you." we all reply back. i sit by Zach and Breckin with Jack sitting directly across from me. he kicks my foot under the table causing me to jump.
"what was that?" Zach raises his eyebrow i just look at at Jack and we both start wheezing.
"i don't even know, what i'm laughing at." i say in between breaths.
"you're a crackhead, i swear." Zach shakes his head and laughs. soon enough the waitress comes to take our orders. Breckin and I order a shit ton of shrimp to share. after we all order our food i lean over to whisper in Breckin's ear.
"so how are you and daniel?" he smiles and her face turns a light shade of red.
"really good, but you and Zach thooo." i giggle and give her a playful shove. for the rest of dinner we eat our food which was amazing by the way and talk and laugh. it was amazing. i really love all of these guys. after we finish up we all part ways and Zach grabs my hand.
"i have somewhere i want to show you." i smile.
"okay, lead the way." we walk along the beach for a couple minutes before he stops. i was a bit confused. there was nothing around us but a rock just off the shore. he sits down on the rock and pats next to him. i sit down and look out at the water.
"i know how much you love that rock back home and how you always go there when you want to relax. so i found this rock earlier while you were tanning on the beach and i thought it was perfect. and it's a great spot to watch the sunset, since i know you love sunsets a lot as well." i rest my head on his shoulder and smile.
"you're the sweetest." he lays his head on mine and let's out a deep breath.
"right now, everything is perfect. i'm here with a beautiful girl looking over the beautiful ocean."
"yea, everything really is perfect." we sit in silence for a few minutes absorbing the beauty of the ocean as the sun sets just above it.
"there's something i need to tell you."
"of course, you can tell me anything." he sits up and gently grabs my hands as he looks into my eyes.
"the boys and i are going on tour shortly after we get back." this took me by surprise.
"wow. Zach that's amazing, i'm so proud of you."
"yea, it's a big opportunity. but the thing is that we're  going to be apart for a while." i sigh.
"yea, but it's okay, don't worry about me. i'll be fine. how long will you guys be on tour anyway?"
"3 months for now, it's just a US tour right now. we will get a month break then we head over seas for the Europe tour."
"wow. 3 months."
"yea, i know. i've been trying to talk to Bam Bam to see if you could possibly come with us for a few shows or something. if you're up for it, because i'm not sure i'd be able to be away from you for 3 months." i smile a little and squeeze his hand.
"okay, i'd have to talk to Traci and Kerry first of course."
"yea. i'm sorry i didn't tell you about this earlier. i know it's a lot to process." i shake my head.
"it's okay, i understand but for now let's enjoy being together in this moment. and promise me while you're gone, you'll put on a great show for your fans because they're all amazing and love you so much." he holds up his pinky i wrap mine around his.
"pinky." this has kind of become our thing. it's cute i guess. we sit on the rock until the sun fully sets leaving us with only the light from the moon. "wanna head back, i'm hella jet lagged and could probably pass out any second." i stand up and help his up from the rock.
"yea, i'm really tired too." we walk back hand in hand down the side walk until we reach our resort. i change into my pj's and crawl into bed. Zach wraps his arms around me and i drift off into a very comfortable deep sleep almost instantly.
