——————

HAPPY BIRTHDAY is shouted at me as i enter my boyfriend and his bandmates massive house

AHAHAH i scream causing everyone to laugh as they get back to dancing and mingling

happy birthday baby zach says as he wraps his arms around me as i gaze over the quite large crowd of everyone i love

zachary dean i say shaking my head laughing at how adorable this party was

why'd you do this i ask my arms around his neck as his snake around my waist

because you should love your birthday and i know it makes you feel like birthday just reminds you that you a waste of space or whatever but now that you're my girlfriend i'm never ganna let you feel that way he says as a smile spreads across my face

ZACHH i whine as i place kisses all over his face

you are so cute thank you so much i say after placing kisses all over him

y/n happy mutha fucking birthday daniel yells as he comes up to me hugging me along with the rest of the boys

happy birthday girl one more hear and you can drink with us christina says hugging me

can't wait i say laughing

so whose all here i ask as our friend group walks to the bar

umm i have no clue the girls did most of the inviting zach says looking at gabbie and christina

emma (chamberlain) is here and i think her plus one was aaron christina says

oh my god i've missed her so much i smile... wait plus one thats so fancy i laugh as others join

yeah well you don't have a lot of friends so we needed to fill up the room jack says and everyones head snaps to his wide eyed

haha its okay guys he is right i keep my circle small. you're fake as fuck if you have a shit ton of friends don't @ me i say

thats actually kinda true especially in LA jonah says

i know like if you have 100s of friends there is no effing way you enjoy all of them it literally is not possible i say earning a laugh from everyone

Y/N emma yells as she walks up to us followed by aaron hull

EM i yell over the music as we hug each other catching up as fast as we could

birthday girl aaron says hugging me

aaron how are you i haven't seen you in so long i say

everyone this is emma and aaron i say as they all wave at the group and they wave back

we catch up for a while until me and emma both spot tall almost identical figures along with a smaller one walking up to us

oh no oh no emma says

whatt i say turning around but she forces me not to

ethan grayson and james is all she says and i can tell the two boys by us both tense up as they realize they are going to encounter their girlfriends ex boyfriend

sistersss james voice rings through my ear

me and james where friends and there is no beef but it just felt like after grayson dumped me and emma dumped ethan that he had to chose a side even though he said he would be friends with all of us. he ended up not speaking to me and emma and i wasn't exactly mad or hurt but i wasn't happy and emma felt the exact same way

happy birthday y/n ethan says hugging me after james

yeah happy 20th grayson says pulling me into a hug

i know you hate your birthday so i'm glad you are enjoying this one he smiles before letting go of my much smaller body

thanks guys you didnt have to come i say

of course we did james says as i realize none of them acknowledged emma

umm this is zach i say pulling zach to us as he had tried to stay back with his bandmates but he knew i wouldn't let him

ah yes the knew boyfriend grayson says

and you're the old one aaron says sticking up for the younger boy which causes emma and i to laugh a little but she still hits him slightly

calm down bud is all ethan says as older brother protective mode turns on

"bud" last thing i heard was you're an old boyfriend too aaron says stepping up not scared of ethan which to be honest he should be

everyone keeps saying that i have no clue what she is feeding you guys but last time i checked i never asked her to be my girlfriend ethan says as grayson pulls his twin back making sure he doesn't do anything he regrets

he's cuttteee james says as he pokes at zachs arms and i could tell zach was a little awkward being around the twins

isn't he i say squishing zachs face with one of my hands as my other wraps around his torso

a laugh escapes zachs lips as he swats my hand away

alright we are ganna head out we have early meetings but we wanted to pop in and wish you a good birthday grayson speaks up

yeah we miss you ethan says which i didn't exactly know how to react or what that even ment

alright thank you for coming i say smiling nodding slightly as they head for the door

i had an urge to stop them and honestly i don't know why. i didn't have feelings for grayson anymore and seeing him tonight proved that to zach and me honestly. they weren't the people i loved last year neither was james honestly. i missed this friend group but it could never and will never be the same. i couldn't expect everyone to stay the same or grow up the way i wished they had. they could probably say the same about me claiming i've changed.

i had amazing people by me and i am so fucking greatful that they showed up to my party. it was the closure i had no idea i needed. i think we all got closure out of that... well maybe not emma and ethan but they were a lot messier than me and grayson. as for that friend group i am glad it happened and that it was so public. everyone loved us. i loved us i still do. and i will always have those memories... and if i ever forget i can just pull it up on youtube

hey babe you okay? zach says shaking me slightly out of my thoughts

yeah... for the first time in a long time i think i finally am i smile

good he smiles as we both stare into each others eyes

HEY LOVE BIRDS COME ON i hear corbyn yell

ughhh zach says

come onn i drag out as i pull him to our friends that have turned into family
