*ARIELS POV*

3 years later

I sighed before I packed up my camera. After zipping the bag I said goodbye to my professor and went to my car.

After.. the incident, I decided to go to college for photography. At first, I had no idea what I wanted to do. So i just experimented with different classes. But after taking my photography class, I fell in love. I immediately went and put it as my major.

"Hey Ariel, are you going home" my friend Jessie, came bouncing down the hallway, speaking in a very cheery voice. I met Jessie in one of my classes the first day. She spilled her soda all over me. After helping me clean it up, we couldn't stop laughing. We exchanged numbers and have been friends ever since.

"I'm supposed to go out with Casey and Bailey, well there boyfriend's too but you know how that is." I gave her a little laugh ad she gave me a smile.

"Alright well I'll see you soon" she said, and went to her own car.

I laughed as I unlocked my own car and got in the driver's seat. The diner where I was meeting my friends was only 5 minutes away. After the very short drive, I arrived at the diner. I got out of my car and immedieatly saw my friends. Unfortunately we're all so busy, so we can't see each other that much, but we always make the best of it when we can.

I walked into the restaurant and immedieatly Casey started waving at me. I smiled, and went to hug her.

"Omg hi" Bailey said, giving me a hug next.

"Where are the boys" I said, after releasing Bailey.

All of a sudden I felt a pair of arms lift me up.

"Guess who" I laughed at their goofiness.

"Michael put me down" I laughed.

Michael laughed and did as I said, giving me a chance to turn around. When I did I saw him and Calum giving me wife toothy smiles. Yes we are still friends, and yes Michael and Bailey ended up eating like two weeks after the airport incident. Casey and Calum took a little longer, but they got there. Michael continues to be my best friend, and Calum and Luke are still brothers to me.

"So how's it going" she said, looking down towards my stomach.

I got confused at first until I remembered. "Oh it's going great" I said, putting my hand on my very noticeable baby bump. "I'm about 6 months along now" I smiled.

"That's so great" Casey smiled excitedly at me.

"So how did your boyfriend feel about it" Michael said.

"He was nervous at first, of course. But now he's so excited. He even has this little calendar where he marks off the days." I smiled dreamily.

"That's so sweet" Calum said.

"Well Michael and I decided that since you guys are all here, that were just gonna tell you this now." Bailey said, making us all have confused faces. "Were engaged" she finished, holding up her finger. And sure enough there was a gorgeous ring on her hand.

"Omg" Casey and I squealed.

"Congratulations guys" Calum said.

"Hey does anyone know how Luke is" I asked curiously.

"He's just vistiting his family while the band is on a break""Michael said.

We all talked and laughed and just had a great time. Unfortunately after an hour of listening to Michael and Calum teasing each other, we all had to go. Casey and Calum were going to California to visit her family, and Michael and Bailey were going to go join Luke in Australia, where Michael's family was. They plan on telling them about the engagement, which Bailey promised to have someone record so I could see their reaction.

Speaking about family, I haven't really talked to my parents since I left for the tour. I ended up only going to California just to move out, and get my brother Jordan. He now lives in New York, just near me and my boyfriend. He's also excutied about the little one.

After a 15 minute drive I arrived at my house. I smiled as I saw my boyfriends car in the driveway. I haven't seen him since this morning, since I've been at school all day. I got out of my car fast, locking the doors, before I sped walked to the front door.

Once I got in, I realised he wasnt in the living room, but  I heard him shout from the kitchen "Ariel is that you"

I walked towards the kitchen to see him already making dinner. I stood there for a second, without letting him know I was there, and just admired him.

"How was school" he asked when he turned around and saw me. I told him it was good and he smiled. "And how's my little one" he crouched down and kissed my stomach.

"Ashton she's fine"I laughed, taking his hands and pulling him up.

"I know I just like hearing your laugh" he replied, making my heart warm "I'm so glad you took me back 3 years ago baby" he whispered, kissing me softly on the lips.

"Me too Ash" I smiled.

I looked at him and realized how happy I was. My life ended up just the way I wanted. I have my friends, the boys, my brother, a little one on the way, and Ashton. What else could I ever need?
