once we arrive back in LA i decide it's best if i spend the last few days i have left with the guys before they leave for tour. Breckin and I run home first so we can unpack our stuff and see our family.
"oh my gosh you're home!!" traci runs up and gathers us into a tight hug.
"hey Traci." i smile.
"hey mom!" breckin waves. we walk upstairs and separate into our rooms. i begin to unpack my stuff from my suitcase when there is a knock at my door. i walk over to open it and i'm surprised when my siblings run in and tackle me.
"oh my gosh!" we all giggle. "why did you tackle me?"
"we missed you, stupid." molly rolls her eyes.
"so tell us about your trip!" Drew looked really excited. for the next hour or so i laid on my bed with my siblings and told them everything about my trip. we all laughed so hard our abs hurt and i almost peed my pants. after molly wiped her tears from crying so hard Drew sat up. "alright guys, i have some exciting news to tell you."
"oooo!! what is it?" he smiled.
"i have a girlfriend." i felt my eyes get big and a smile spread across my face.
"NO WAY!!" molly and i shouted at the same time.
"shhhh!!" he covered our mouths.
"Do u have a picture of her?"
"i do." he shows us a picture and she was gorgeous. she had medium length brown hair with beautiful brown eyes and the most perfect smile.
"awww Drew!!! she's so pretty!" both molly and i were really happy for him. he's always talked about how he wanted a girlfriend but he didn't want to settle for just anyone. he wanted to find someone special and now i guess he has. "what's her name?"
"Bailee."
"ohhh even her name is pretty!" we all laughed.
"have you told Traci yet?" molly asked.
"yes, and she wants all of us to invite a date over for dinner tomorrow."
"oh fun!!"
"anddd we're going to a fancy restaurant so dress nice."
"i'll have to tell Breckin so she can invite Dani and i'll text Zach." just then Breckin walks in and sits with us on my bed.
"did you guys hear about the dinner tomorrow?" we all nod.
"yea!!"
"molly, what's your boyfriends name again?"
"tyler" breckin smiles.
"right, tyler! i always forget. anyway i also just found out some really exciting news."
"omg, what?" she starts smiling really big.
"halie and jake are coming home!!" we all start screaming. Halie is Breckin's older sister and Jake is Halie's boyfriend. They both are in ohio for college and we haven't seen them in forever. Halie has always been like a big sister to me and Jake well, he's just really really funny.
"when will they be back?"
"their plane lands around 9 am tomorrow."
"that's great, i cant wait to see them."
"me too, but in the mean time we should go to the mall to get new outfits for tomorrow."
"actually Bailee was coming over really soon, maybe she could go with you guys and you can get to know each other?" Drew glances between us.
"of course, i would love to meet her."
"awesome, thanks ash!! the wdw boys actually invited me over so i can get to know them better too!" i smile.
"that's perfect." we all get ready for the mall and Drew gets ready to go over to the wdw house. Once Bailee arrives Drew runs downstairs and we all follow.
"hey bai!!" Drew gives her a tight hug and a quick peck. they both smile and turn towards us.
"hi, i'm ashley. it's so nice to meet you!" i give her a hug. after we all introduced ourselves Drew let's her know the plan.
"that sounds great!"
"awesome, here's some money for you all to get lunch. have fun." he gives her a kiss and waves to the rest of us as he walks outside to his car.
"alright! let's get going, i'll drive." we all walk out to my jeep. Breckin sits in the passenger seat and Bailee and Molly sit in the back. i connect my phone to the bluetooth.
"what kind of music do you like Bailee?"
"pretty much anything honestly."
"well that makes it easy." we all laugh. i put my Why Don't We playlist on shuffle and turn the volume up.
"omg, i love Why Don't We!!" Breckin and I make eye contact and smile.
"you're kidding!"
"nope!"
"dude, i'm kinda dating Zach."
"and i'm kinda dating Daniel." breckin adds. her eyes go wide.
"no way."
"yea!! we can hang out with them later if you want!"
"that sounds amazing!!" we all smile and i pull out of my driveway and head towards the mall. 20 minutes later we arrive at the mall and we all hop out of my car.
"okay, what's our first stop?"
"hollister!! there's this really cute top i've been wanting to get from there." breckin says as we open the door to enter the mall.
"alright." we enter hollister and the smell of cologne flows through our noses. breckin quickly finds the top she wanted and i walk around the store with bailee.
"are you from this area?" she looks up from the pair of jeans she was look at and smiles.
"yea, actually i just graduated from Tree-oak Highschool."
"really?" tree-oak was our biggest rival in football. we usually beat them but it was always a really close game.
"yea, i know we're basically the biggest rivals in sports."
"did you play any sports in highschool?"
"yea, i ran track and i'm actually going to play volleyball in college."
"that's awesome!! where are you going to college?"
"ucla!"
"no way, that's great."
"how about you, what sports do you play?"
"well i play soccer, i run track, and i also surf a lot. surfing used to be the thing that breckin and i could do together but recently she's been focusing on gymnastics and getting colleges attention and i've been doing the same with soccer so it's been hard."
"oh yea, that makes sense. i actually love to surf as well so maybe we could all go out sometime?"
"that would be awesome!"
"are you guys ready?" we both turn and see Breckin and Molly waiting for us.
"yea, where to next?"
"pacsun?"
"sure!" we walk into pacsun, all of us giggling super loud. but what's new? and i'm stunned when i see...
