Of course nothing popped up. It's not like he's a famous actor or famous athlete.

"Well nothing came up. What now?" Zach asked.

"I guess the only other option is to ask my mom" I shrug.

"Hunter I know how much this means to you, but what if it's best if you don't get in contact with your dad" Zach's been trying to convince me this whole time that it's probably better to just leave it how it is, and I'm actually  starting to believe him.

"I guess you're right. If he really wanted to get contact with me, or try to look for me he would've tried by now,but what if he couldn't?" I asked him.

"Things happen for a reason Hunter, maybe one day you guys will begin to talk it's just maybe right now isn't the best time" Zach suggested.

"Maybe" I sigh, leaning and resting my head on Zach's shoulder.

~2:50 pm~

Zach and the boys left. They told me they were going to an interview, but they were filled with enthusiasm, especially Jonah. I didn't think twice about it I just asked them to drop me off at my apartment and when they're finished with the interview maybe we could go to the movies. I've been dying to see the new Aladdin.

I was watching Jerry Springer and eating ramen noodles cause really there wasn't much to do. I got a call from Zach.

"Hey Hunter, could you uhmm, meet us at the beach please?" Zach asked, he sounded nervous.

"What's going on? You sound off. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just get your swimsuit we just wanted to go out for a swim"

"Okay" I hang up the phone and think to myself.

If I knew we were going to the beach I wouldn't of been eating ramen noodles and drinking soda.

I got up from my comfy warm bed and went to my closet to find my swimsuit I haven't worn in literal months.

When I finally made it to the beach I didn't see any of the guys there.

I decided to call Jonah, but he didn't answer. Neither did Corbyn , jack, or Daniel until I ringed Zach.

"Hey, where are you guys I can't find y'all any where. I did go to the right beach right?"

He laughs, "yes you did just go to the side of the beach where the ice cream stand is" he hangs up and I start walking.

I get there but i only see Zach standing there looking anxious.

"Hey Z!" I yell out, hoping he hears me. He looks over at me and smiles.

He runs up to me, "didn't think you were gonna find me"

"Where are the guys?" I ask, looking around.

"Oh they went to buy somethings they'll be right back" we begin walking more towards the water when suddenly he grabs me hand.

"Zach what're you doing?" He looks over at me and we stop walking.

"Look Hunter I know we've barely started talking again, but I feel the happiest when I talk to you. Ever since we've been kids, you've always had this affect on me. I'm the best of me when you're around and hearing you laugh fuck, just seeing you smile makes my whole entire day. I left you and it was the biggest regret I made in my entire life and during that period of time in my life I only found out i was hurting myself more not being around you. I don't know how to describe how I feel, because really I don't know if I can even put it into words. The only thing I know is...Hunter I love you. And-and I don't know if you knew this but you're one of the most important people I have in my life and I'm thankful that I have you in my life, and what I'm about to say is crazy but Hunter...will you be my girlfriend? I know this sounds crazy -and-and you're most likely gonna say no, but plea-

I cut him off by placing my lips on his. He doesn't react for a few seconds until he understands what's going on. The kiss was full of passion and I can't believe I've waited this long of a time to do this.

We slowly fall apart and we look each other dead in the eyes.

"I can't deny it Zach, I've always had this affection towards you. You were my first everything and yes, we have our ups and downs, but I wouldn't take away our arguments for anything in the world. It's been about time that you asked me," I joke, " but tour isn't that far away and I'm not sure I would be able to do long distance" I explain, offering a sad smile.

"I already got that covered. Manager said you could go as long as you don't cause a distraction to any of us"

I smile, "then I'm that case. Yes. Yes,yes,yes"

He engulfs me in a hug and whispers in my ear, " I never meant it to be this cheesy" I laugh. "I'm glad you made it cheesy though"

The guys come out of behind of the ice cream stand with a camera in their hand.

"We recorded the whole thing" jack laughs.

~ a few weeks later~

Tours about to begin. Zach and I have been closer than ever. I'm glad I accepted being his girlfriend. I see the five people I love the most almost everyday and I hope it stays this way for a very long time.

I'm a person that believes things happen for a reason. I believe, all of the arguments Zach and I have been through were meant to happen and lead up to this. I believe that my mother chose Zach's mother as our babysitter for a reason, and that reason was, because Zach and I would end up together, or simply because Colby and i needed a babysitter. What ever the reason was, I'm glad my mom chose Myta as our babysitter because if it wasn't for that Zach and I wouldn't become best friends. Zach and I wouldn't have fallen apart just to be put back together. Zach and I wouldn't have had our arguments that would result in him forgiving me. Zach and I wouldn't have become boyfriend and girlfriend.

~years passed~

I'm glad my mom chose myta as our babysitter because I wouldn't of tied the knot with my best friend.
