Austin POV

"Okay. Okay. Sorry." She said, in between laughs.

"I don't believe you." I said, continuing to tickle her.

"Austin Mahone, I am sorry." She said.

"For?" I said.

"For accidentally throwing a bottle of water at you." She laughed.

"I'll accept it." I said getting up and helping her up.

"I guess someone, or some two people, are getting along now." Zach said. But I disregarded his comment and so did Christina.
**Christmas Day**
Christina POV

Well, this isnt how I expected Christmas Day to be. I had bought my mom and her "family" Christmas cards. I walked across the lawn to my moms house. I rang the doorbell and waited. I must've been waiting at least 5 minutes. "Oh hi." My mom said as she answered the door.

"Hi. Merry Christmas." I replied.

"Merry Christmas." She said with 0 emotion.

"Umm, I got you all cards." I said.

"Thanks. I'll take them." My mom said.

"Can I come in?" I asked.

"No. We were actually just about to leave." My mother said, still with 0 emotion.

"Oh okay. Bye." I said, walking away. I went back to Austin's house and just sat on the front door steps for about an hour. They never left. Why would my mom lie to me about that? Soon my emotions began to take over. I just walked in the house and went straight upstairs to the bedroom I share with Zach. I just sat on the bed and cried. Zach and Austin both walked into the room. "What's wrong?" They asked in sync.

"Nothing." I said wiping away my tears.

"I don't believe you." Austin said.

"Whatever." I replied. They both sat down on the bed. Alex and Robert walked into the room soon after. "Please tell me what's wrong." Zach said.

"I have no family." I blurted out.

"You have us." They all said together. Alex and Robert sat on the floor in front of me. "Thanks guys." I said, putting my arms out gesturing for a group hug. We all hugged and soon I was squeezed between all the guys. "Can't breathe." I laughed. They all pulled away. I took a deep breath in and put my hand over my heart dramatically. We all burst out laughing.
**4 days later**
Christina POV

Today is my birthday. I'm finally 18. "You ready yet?" Zach asked. We were all going out for dinner. "Yea." I said, putting on my shoes. Zach put his arm out for me to hold. I held it and we walked downstairs. "You look beautiful." Robert said, Austin and Alex agreed. We walked outside to Austin's range rover. The guys fought over who was going to sit next to me. In the end I was seated in between Robert and Zach. Robert wouldn't stop playing in my hair.
**1 hour later**

We finally arrived at the restaurant. I was now seated in between Austin and Alex. "Happy Birthday." Austin said for like the millionth time today. I just smiled.
**2 hours later**

"I had so much fun today. Thank you all." I told the guys and embracing them all in the second group hug for the week.
