I woke up around noon from a long night of sleep, still exhausted, but decided to get up and shower. After that I changed into sweatpants and a shirt that Connor had left. My hair hung loosely over my shoulders.

I rubbed my eyes and walked into the kitchen that was full of people. I frowned as I saw my aunt and then it hit me that they were visiting this week. "Aunt Zara?" I asked and she grinned. "There is my beautiful niece!" She yelped and gave me a long lasting hug. "How have you been? Your mom just told us about your boyfriend." She said, pulling away with a grin on her face. "Connor Hamilton, huh?"

I sighed as I looked at my mom. "Mom." I whined and she shrugged her shoulders. "You know, I like the boy, if I didn't, I wouldn't have told her all about him." She said and then I realised that my cousins were waiting on their turn for a hug. Ryan walked up to me and put his strong arms around me. "I usually don't like visiting family, but you are an exception."

I chuckled as he patted my shoulders. "Now, you have to introduce me to this boyfriend of yours." He said. "He's coming soon enough." I said.

"Alright, we'll decide if he's part of the family yet." Phoebe said and Ryan grinned. "Your girlfriend is."

I frowned. "Have I met her?" I asked and Phoebe's cheeks flushed pink. "No, but I know you'll like her."

"She's cool, I guess." Lily said, pushing herself off the counter. "I don't get what you guys need girlfriends or boyfriends for."

"Excuse me?" Ryan asked and Lily shrugged. "Helen has been your girlfriend for five years, that's different. Plus, you're proposing to her in a few weeks." She said and Ryan's mouth fell open. "Who's getting married?" Benjamin asked as he walked into the kitchen, too. "No one." Ryan said. "Yet." I added and Ryan rubbed his forehead. "You didn't hear anything."

"Alli, when is Connor coming?" Benjamin asked and I bit my lip. "I thought he would be here any second."

Grandma entered the room, probably coming back from the guestroom since she was staying here. Benjamin offered to let Thomas sleep in his room while the family was visiting us, so that grandma could actually sleep there.

"Don't worry, he's here." She said. Connor winced as she squeezed his arm, pushing him in front of her. "If this is him." She said and he gave me a sheepish smile. "I saw him park on the driveway and realised that it was probably your boyfriend."

"Thanks?" I asked and she let go off him. "Okay, so now I'm kinda getting why he's you boyfriend." Lily said and Ryan pinched her sides.

"What?" She asked him and he rolled his eyes before looking back a Connor who was standing awkwardly in front of us. "Okay, so this is Connor, my boyfriend." I said to my family. "We figured." Aunt Zara mocked. "Nice meeting you all." Connor said, shaking everyone's hand short after. The last he said hi to was my Grandma. "Boy, I don't really care of you try to impress me." She bluntly said and I gave her a glare. "Grandma," I started, but she put her hand up to cut me off. "Wait, as long as he treats you right and doesn't try anything inappropriate. Like sex before marriage."

Benjamin choked on his milk and cleared his throat. I smacked the upside of his head. Grandma gave us a weird stare and I gave her a small smile. "Of course not." Connor said and he met my eyes, winking. "Alright then, we're all good." Grandma said and my mom gave me a suspicious look. "Alli, come with me." She said and I frowned, but followed her into the living room. "What's up?" I asked, trying to let it sound as casual as possible. "Did you put the condoms away?" She asked and I frowned.

"Alli, if she sees them, you're gonna die." She said and my eyes widened. "Mom..."

"Bathroom, now." She said, I nodded and made my way upstairs. I opened the door to the shared bathroom, opening all the cabinets. There was a knock on the door. "Alli?" Connor's voice sounded trough the door. "Yeah?" I asked, still trying to find the condoms. "Your brother took the last ones." He said. "What? Why?" I asked and he chuckled. "To have-"

Suddenly my grandma's voice was heard too. "Connor? What's she doing in there?"

"Using the loo?" He asked more than said. "Honey? Are you okay? You just ran off." She said and I cleared my throat as I finally spotted the box of condoms. "Yeah, I'm okay. Lady problems."

I unlocked the door with the box behind my back and came face to face with my Grandma. Connor scratched his head. "Are we heading back downstairs?" He asked. "I wanted to hear more about New York."

My Grandma looked at him. "Of course, let's go." She said, turning away from me. Connor placed his lips on my forehead shortly. "I'll be down in two seconds." I said and he winked at me before following my grandma.

I opened the door to my room and opened my closet to put the box behind a set of clothes.

I walked back downstairs. Ryan looked at me as I entered the living room where everyone was sitting now. "Are you good?"

"What? Yeah, amazing." I said as I sat down next to Connor who was talking to my grandma. "So," Aunt Zara started and I looked at her. "How was England?" She asked me and Ben. "Oh, we had fun." Benjamin said and he looked at me. "Connor's Grandpa is a nice guy."

Connor was focused on the conversation too now. "He has a dog and a cat." I said and Connor nudged my sides. "You liked talking to that dog, huh?"

I smacked his arm. "Only because you were out with Ben." I said and he grinned, kissing my cheek. "Is Ethan coming?" My mom asked and I frowned. "I have no clue."

"Oh, Ethan Jacobs" Phoebe asked and I nodded. "Yeah, you've all met him." I said and I looked at my mom. "Do I have to ask if he's coming?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah, he can stay for dinner, too."

I got out my phone and sent him a message.

Allison

Wanna come over for dinner, my family is here and the really do wanna see you. Plus, I haven't heard of my best friend all week...

Ethan

IM ON MY WAY I MISSED YOU SO MUCH

"He's on his way." I said and my mom grinned. "He hasn't been around for a long time."

"She's been occupied with my best friend." Benjamin said and Connor ran his hand trough his curly hair. "Oh, is someone jealous?" He asked Ben. Ben stuck out his tongue. "Yeah, always, I would want to be kissing you, right?"

I looked at Lily and noticed that she had been awfully quiet, looking at Connor. "How's Riley?" Grandma asked Ben. Ben cleared his throat. "We, uhm, broke up."

"When did that happen?" Grandma asked. "She was such a nice girl." Benjamin shook his head. "She cheated on me." Connor put his hand on my thigh, leaning closer to me. "You know," He whispered. "I missed you tonight."

I bit my lip as his hand slid up higher, me pushing him away from me. "Stop it, Con."

I met Ryan's eyes across the room who had a playful smile on his face as he looked at us. My cheeks flushed red and I looked away. "Ben, when can I meet Emma?" I asked, still trying to get away from Connor's touch. "I don't know, why do you want to meet her so bad?"

"Ben," Connor said, looking up at his best friend. "You like her, more than you liked Riley."

"How would you know?" Benjamin asked and Connor shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, I am your best friend."

My mom got up and looked at all of us. "I'm gonna make dinner now. Zara, care to join?" She asked Aunt Zara. Grandma got up, too and followed them into the kitchen. "So, how long have you guys been together?" Ryan asked, the same smile still on his lips.

"A month." Connor answered. "That's not as long as I had expected." Ryan said, scratching his hand. "What do you mean with that?" Phoebe asked and Ryan gave me a knowing look. "The way they act."

I frowned. "Huh?" Phoebe asked and Ryan shook his head. "They know what I mean."

I don't think I do.

This chapter sucks ass, ugh, i haven't been writing at all. I though I finished the book, but now I don't like the way I write the epilogue, and I don't know what to do since I can't use a laptop, the app doesn't work on my phone anymore and writing on my IPad is an issue, sooooo I'm screwed :)

But I hope you enjoyed this shitty crap
