The next day . I wake up still on Shawns couch , still in his arms and still holding the kitten . "You awake?" I hear Shawn say "good morning" I say and he kisses my forehead "good morning" he says as I sit up and so does he "I should get going" I say "what why" he says "I told the boys I would be back last night and I wasn't and I didn't even call" I say "you don't care about anything or anyone except those boys" he says "they are like the best thing that has ever happened to me" I say "they been there for me" I say "I love them and they love me" I say "we are a family" I say "and that's all the matters" he says "Shawn you know this , I love those boys with my whole heart" I say "I care about you too" I say "I care about Jade and Nate" I say "I care about everyone else more than I care about myself" I say "I mean all this going on" I say "it's a lot" I say "having to do this with 6 guys" I say "I'm stressed and of course I care about others" I say "I care about your new damn cat" I say as I'm starting to get worked up "okay okay calm down" he says and rubs my shoulders "I didn't mean to make you feel like this" he says "no no it's fine I'm gonna go , I'll call you" I say and grab my bag before leaving
I been parking in front of the house now for 5 minutes crying . I'm so stressed with this but I'm so worried . I don't wanna hurt any of these boys . And I can't pick all 5 . It's either I pick one 4 others get hurt or I pick Shawn and all 5 are gonna be hurt . I don't want that . I have to go in the house now . I walk up to the door and open to make automatic eye contact with all of them "listen I know I didn't come home last nights, I'm sorry okay" I say "Gabriella what's wrong" Brandon says "nothing nothing at all" I say "your crying" Nick says "talk to us" Edwin says and I sit in between Brandon and Zion as the rest sit in front of me . "I'm just so stressed and scared" I say and cover my face with my hands "why what's up" Zion says as he rubs my back and I feel Nicks hand on my knee "this , all of us" I say "it's overwhelming" I say and look at them "then I have to pick someone outta of you guys and Shawn" I say "I don't wanna hurt any of you" I say as the tears start to fall again causing them to form a group hug around me .
After like 3 minutes of hugging they pull apart "you won't hurt us Ma" Nick Says "imma feel so bad" I say "don't" Brandon says "we are in this and no matter What you pick and who you pick we are still gonna love you the same like we always have" Edwin says "we just want you to be happy" Austin says and I cry more "you guys are the best" I say and they chuckle "we get that a lot" Zion says "but like what if I pick Shawn , you guys are gonna hate me" I say "no no , we could never" Nick says "and if you do pick Shawn then you pick Shawn , we are still gonna love you" Brandon says "no matter if you pick one of us , Shawn or no one ; we will always be here and always love you" Austin says "like we said as long as your happy" Zion says "okay?" Edwin ask "okay" I say "also if I pick Shawn he wants me to move to Arizona with him and maybe Jade and Nate" I say "Arizona?" Brandon ask "yeah" I say "okay well" Nick says "you should know that it still won't change anything" he adds which makes me smile "yes it will be a lot sadder but we will call you everyday , visit and all that" Zion says "We , this is forever" Edwin says "the 6 of us , forever and ever"
(Night) I walk out my bedroom after just sitting in there . I walk downstairs to no one . "Boy!" I call out but no response "hello" I say and I look outback to see them playing basketball "there you guys are" I say and walk out "hey beautiful" Austin says "hi boys" I say and walk over to the them as nick hold the ball "you doing okay" Brandon ask "yeah" I say as Nick shoots the ball and makes it "that one was for you ma" he says and points at me "wow so good" I say "no no I'm better" Zion says and snatches the ball from Nick , he shoots it makes it as well "See Gabby now that one was for you" he says and passes the ball to Edwin "ready Gab" Edwin says and I nod he shoots it and doesn't make it causing the boys to laugh "aww Eddie" i say and I kiss his cheek "oh wait that's not fair I made it but he gets a kiss" Nick says "I feel bad" I say as Brandon gets the ball and he doesn't make it on purpose "oups looks like I didn't make , guess I gotta get a kiss" he says sarcastically and I giggle before kissing his cheek "this is wrong" Zion says "here Austin" Brandon says and hands him the ball
"Nope" Austin says and throws the ball before kissing my lips "HEY" Brandon yells "gotta be bold sometimes boys" Austin says and I blush "I like it" I say "Ight let's head inside" Edwin says and I walk behind the boys as Brandon walks behind me and slaps my a*s "Brandon" I say and smile as he puts his arm around my waist as we walk in "boys we should do something tomorrow" I say "like what" Zion ask "bowling all of us" I say "I can't" Edwin says "whyyy" I ask "umm .... I have something to do" he says and he it's very suspicious "sus" Nick says "nope" Edwin says "what do you have to do tomorrow" Brandon ask "just something, now goodnight" Edwin says and speed walks up the stairs "uhh okay" I say "yeah he's doing something suspicious" Brandon says "we can go bowing tomorrow" I say "there's 5 of us so that's not equal for teams" Austin says and I look at them all and break apart from Brandon . "Well uh I can invite Shawn" I say and they all look at each other then back at me as I smile "i mean .... if you wanna" Nick says "I'll be his partner cause obviously I'm won't have you guys be his partner" I say "well okay then bowling is tomorrow" Zion says "we should head to bed , it's late" I say "since you have spent time with everyone" Nick says "who's bed you sleeping in tonight or who's sleeping in your bed" Nick ask and I laugh as they look at me "mhm well" I say "I'll sleep with ...... no one" I say and their jaws drop "whyyyy" Brandon whines "because I wanna sleep alone" I say "fine" Austin says "night night boys ; I love you guys"
I get upstairs and decide to call Shawn about tomorrow. It rings twice before he picks up "hey hey" I say "hey Gabby" he says "so the boys and I are going bowling tomorrow and I was wondering if you would wanna come with" I say "with you and the boys" he says "yeah" I answer "umm you know they hate me right?" He says "well it's gonna be fine they said it was okay and we can be partners" I say "what time" he ask "not real sure but I'll call you" I say "uhh , yeah , okay I'll come"
He says "good I'll call you when I know the time" I say "okay I'll see you tomorrow" he says and I hang up Before smiling . I hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow. Hopefully it will be just fine .
"Meet is there" I say "we are leaving in like 10 minutes. We have to wait till Nick find his stupid shoes" I say to Shawn "they aren't stupid" nick yells from upstairs "we will see you there" I say with a smile as I'm on FaceTime "hey baby" I here look to see Zion come downstairs "baby?" Shawn questions "see you soon" I say and hang up "was that Shawn" he ask "yes it was" I say "he's coming?" He ask "he is coming" I answer as nick comes down ready "did you find your stupid shoes" I say "they aren't stupid" he says "whatever you say bub" I say "come on Brandon and Austin" I say as they run downstairs "ready?" I ask and they all nod
Please let this day go right
