I opened my eyes and blinked slowly, adjusting to the sun light. I sit up and stretch, my back hurt from sleeping on the floor. I look over to see Tiffany asleep on the couch. I look at my phone and scroll through Twitter.

'Daniel Seavey and his new wife buy a home in LA.'

"Shit. I gotta call Daniel." I whisper to myself. I stand up and head to my room. I see Grace sleeping on the table. I laugh at the sight and close my door behind me. I dialed his number and then he picks up.

"Hello?" Daniel answered the phone.

"Hey Danny!" I say as cheerful as possible for just waking up.

"Hey honey! What are you doing?" He asks.

"Did you check twitter this morning?" I ask him ignoring his question.

"No, I'm pulling it up now." He says. I hear the sound of him typing on his computer. "What the hell? What happened? Are you okay?" he questions.

"I'm fine, but did you see the title under that?" I ask sitting on my bed.

"Well shit." I hear him mumble.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Well, I'll be out there later today to help you pack." He says changing the subject.

I chuckle, "Alright see you soon!"

"Bye baby!" He said as he hung up the phone.

I go through my closet and change into some jean shorts and a blue tank top. I sit back down on my bed and go through my texts. I see that I sent him a text last night, but don't remember sending him one. I open it. It's a link to the song 'She's in Love' from the broadway version of 'The Little Mermaid'.

I open my door and go to where I last saw the girls. Marylinn was now in the kitchen making breakfast and Grace was now sitting on the couch on her phone most likely scrolling through pintrest.

"Which one of you sent Corbyn a text from my phone last night?" I question them. Marylinn turns around from where she stood in front of the stove and Grace looks up from her phone.

"Good morning to you too!" Grace replies going back to her phone.

"What does the text say?" Marylinn questions walking to me. I hold my phone up to her to read it. "Oh, Grace is your suspect here." she says going back to the stove."

"Marylinn!" Grace yells.

"Grace, really?" I say putting my hands on my hips.

"It was Marylinn's idea!" Grace yells pointing at Marylinn accusingly.

"Marylinn!" I yell turning around to her.

"I didn't send any text, I merely suggested something to Grace." Marylinn shrugs with a smirk.

I turn around back to Grace giving her a look. "Still her idea!"

"I'm going to get you both back for that." I say going to sit down at the table,

"Sure, that worked out so well for you last time." Grace says sarcastically. Marylinn laughs at Graces comment.

"Sometimes I question our friendship." I groaning and putting my head in my hands. "And what am i supposed to tell Corbyn?" I say looking up.

"Just don't say anything, he'll probably think you just sent him a cool song." Grace says.

"But what if he thinks I was trying to say 'Hey, I love Daniel...help.'." I say.

"Allie, your waaaaayyyy overthinking this." Marylinn says placing a plate in front of me. "Stop worrying about Corbyn and enjoy breakfast."

"Fine." I say.

We turn on 'Grey's Anatomy' and re-watch it for the 8oo th time. Once we finnish a couple of episodes before Marylinn heads to work.

"Bring me back some cookies! Oh, and a cake! And maybe some chinese food for diner!" Grace yells as Marylinn walks out the door.

"That's gonna make you fat!" Marylinn replies.

"My babies have to eat!" Grace says.

"Fine, see you girls later!" She says shutting the door behind her.

After Marylinn leaves, Grace and I keep watching our show until it's time to pick Daniel up from the airport. I drive us there and we, of course, listen to One Direction the whole way there. We pull up to where me and Daniel had agreed to meet up. I see him walking to the car.

"Danny!" I say opening the car door and getting out. The hood of my car was down and Grace got a clear recording of the sweet exchange that was about to happen.

"Allie!" He says as he starts running. Once I'm close enough he drops his bag and pulls me into a hug. "I missed you."

"It was barely even two days!" I giggle into his chest as he holds me.

"Two days too long." He says. After a moment of two we pull apart and I pick his bag up and put it in the trunk of my PT Cruiser Convertible. Grace switches to the back as Daniel takes the driver seat and I sit in the passenger seat. We talk about a lot of different things and we finally pull into the driveway.

I help Grace out of the car, regretting the decision to put her in the back. As I help her in the house Daniel follows behind us with his bag. I lead Daniel to my room to where we could put his stuff down.

"So this is the room we gotta pack up." He says putting his bags down.

"Yeah, been here since I was 19." I say grabbing some boxes from the hallway.

"Allie?" Grace says leaning on my door way.

"Yeah?" I question.

"I'm gonna go take a nap." She says.

"Alright." I say. She leaves and moments later I hear her door close.

"It's just you and me now." He says popping one of the boxes up.

"And a room full of stuff." I say going to closet and taking some shirts off hangers.

We spend hours packing everything up. Once we labeled everything and loaded into my car I laid down on my empty mattress.

"This is so weird." I say with a sigh.

"What?" Daniel says lying down next to me.

"This room being empty." I say.

"Well, the new house has a lot of room to be filled up." He said rolling over to face me. He propped his head up with his hand.

"You and me. In a house. Alone. Now that's scary." I say giggling.

"It sure is." He says.

"The only part I think I'm not looking forward to is getting rid of all those boxes."

"Too. Many. Boxes. I'm surprised they all fit in your car." He said grabbing my waist.

"Me too." I say. He leans in and kisses me. I fall asleep in his arms.








Several hours later we are woken up by Grace screaming, "FOOD!"

I jump awake and Daniel rolls off the mattress. I laugh at him, "Look who's clumsy now."

"Shut up." Daniel says standing up. We go to the kitchen to find Grace with everything Tiffany had ordered.

"Hello Daniel." Marylinn says looking up at him.

"Hey Marylinn, what's all this?" He asks.

"The pregnant lady's order." Marylinnsays pulling the cake out of the bag.

"What flavor did you get?" Grace asks jumping up and down excitedly.

"Chocolate." Marylinn says, "But Allie told me that you, Daniel, don't like chocolate so I got vanilla cupcakes."

"Thank you Marylinn." He says.

"Don't thank me, thank your wife." She says.

"Thank you Allie." Daniel says kissing my forehead.
