Zoey's pov

"N-no," I stutter softly.

"What?" Riley questions.

"No," I say more confident, "I don't want you back. I have an amazing boyfriend already and you lied and hurt me and took nine months of my life away."

"Zoey, I just told you that that was Annabelle."

"I don't care. And I don't know if I really believe you. Just leave me alone," I command. I turn on my heel and start to walk away.

A hand grabs my wrist and tries to pull me back to them. Riley.

"Andrew!" I scream at the top of my lungs, "Luke! Calum! Michael! Ashton! Help me!" For some dumb reason, Riley still doesn't let go of my arm.

"Get the hell off of her right now!" Ashton yells, running over with the other three and Andrew. Riley huffs, but releases my wrist. I tumble forwards into Michael, who catches me.

"I swear to God, if you ever touch Zoey again-"

"Calm down Calum. You guys don't need bad publicity," Andrew says.

He then turns to face Riley, "Come on, Riley." My bodyguard leads my ex off of the premises.

"Zoey? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Luke demands. I shake my head no.

"What did that douchebag want?" Michael questions, as we walk out to the car.

"He was telling me that he never really wanted to hurt me, that his sister was making him. And that he still cared for me. Then he wanted to know what he could do to get me to take him back," I tell my older brothers.

"What did you tell him?" Ashton wonders.

"That I already have an amazing boyfriend. And that I don't trust him or care about him anymore," I answer, fidgeting with my bracelets. I glance up and Luke gives me a look. I avert my eyes again. He knew what I was thinking.

"Well speaking of your boyfriend, we might have a surprise for you at the hotel," Calum tells me, grinning.

I look up in disbelief, "Peyton? Is he at the hotel?"

"Yep. He brought his friend, Jace along. And don't worry, you won't be completely outnumbered. Charlotte's flying in. In fact, we're going to pick her up from the airport right now," Michael tells me.

"You guys are the best! Thank you so much!" I yell, hugging Michael and Calum, who were on either side of me, tightly.

"No problem, Zoey. We know how much you've missed them. And truth be told, Luke said that he missed Peyton too," Ashton giggles.

I turn to Luke, "Watch it Hemmings, Peyton's mine."

"Oh darn it," Luke teases back. I laugh.

God, I love these boys so much.
