Alisha's POV:

I couldn't get any sleep last night, no matter how hard I tried. Every time I close my eyes, I see Shawn, then Zayn, then my parents. My head is starting to hurt from all this thinking. I was doing just fine before Shawn came back into my life. Right? I slowly slide out of the covers, trying not to wake up Kylie or Jake. I feel terrible for crashing their night, I mean they are engaged and here I am with my problems, that Kylie was more than happy to deal with. 

My feet touch the cold floor and I check the clock. 6:45. My legs are freezing so I tip toe my way to Shawn's room. I open the door slowly to see him still sleeping on his side facing the wall. I hurry to my skirt of his floor, I pick it up and give Shawn one last look. I take my jacket from the end of the bed, and my shoes on his floor. I just hope he doesn't remember anything from last night so we can act the same. I exit his room, closing the door behind me. I put my skirt on quickly and walk down the stairs. I look around the house and pick up some other beer cans and cups that Jake and Kylie didn't pick up last night. I clean the sticky countertops from the beer. I would try folding and bring the beer pong table in but it's way too heavy for me-

 I check the time hoping I passed enough, but it's 7:02. Good enough. I put the jacket on over my shoulders, pulling it close to me as I walk out to another foggy day in LA. I walk to my house, getting the spare key from under the plant pot. I unlock the door and put the key where it was then walk inside. Zayn is already inside eating his breakfast. "Hey how was the party?-" He asks then eyes my costume, then the door. Implying why was I wearing what I was outside. "It was uhh good." I say and walk up the stairs before he could say anything else. I take a warm shower, washing off last night. When I look in the mirror as I stand in a towel, my hand flies to my neck. You've got to be kidding me. I change into a pair of sweats and a black full sleeve turtle neck, something comfy since I don't have class until around 2 pm today, and to hide the fact I have a hickey. I walk downstairs with my hair down and sit across from Zayn, biting into an apple.

"So I have a late shift today." Zayn says putting his plate in the sink. "How late?" I ask and he shrugs putting his jacket on. "Depends on my boss." He says. He pecks my cheek before drinking a glass of water. "Alright bye hun see you tonight." And with that he's out the door, and I'm alone. I could ask Kylie to come over, but she deserves alone time with Jake. I could ask Shawn but he's probably still sleeping. But I also have literally nothing to do so screw it-

Jake's POV: 

I wake up to Kylie kissing all over my face. I laugh and hold her face still, kissing her lips slowly. I feel her smile against my lips as she kisses me back. "C'mon lets head back home." I whisper once we pull away. She nods and puts her skirt and heels back on. I shrug off my jacket and put it around her shoulders, being as it's chilly outside. She smiles, kissing my cheek before we walk down the stairs hand in hand, being quiet not to wake Shawn. We walk out the door and wait for an Uber. I put my arm around Kylie's shoulder since she's shivering a bit. It probably would've been smart to wait inside rather than outside-

A car pulls up the street and stops in front of us. We confirm its our Uber before we climb inside of it. The car is warm, thankfully. Kylie and I both sit in the backseats, cuddling each other for warmth. 

"Newly engaged?" The driver asks and we both smile at each other. "Yah we are." I answer giving Kylie a kiss on the forehead. The driver looks at us from his review mirror. "Aren't you two adorable." He says with a chuckle. The only adorable one is Kylie. Then a thought comes into mind. I never asked Kylie's dad for permission to marry her-

Kylie looks at me, sensing something. "I never asked your dad for permission-" I say whispering into her ear and she laughs a bit. "It's alright he knows about you and approves of you." She says and I smile. That's a good thing. both of us get a text on our phones from a group chat.

Alisha: Can anyone come over I'm bored and lonely :D
