"What took you guys so long?" Toby whined as I placed the bowl of Cheetos on the table. Braiden and I looked at each other and tried not to smile.

"Umm..." I began but Toby came over and wrapped his arms around me. I smiled at him.

"Braiden, you took my big sister away from me for way too long!" Toby whined in a childish voice.

"Aww..." Riley cooed. I looked at him and both Toby and I stuck our tongues at him and laughed at our coordination.

"Uhh, Toby?" I said, looking at him. He looked at me in question but figured out what I meant.

"Oh..." he muttered, letting go of me. I ruffled his hair and turned to the others, who were helping themselves with the Coke and Cheetos.

"So, anyone want to see my house?" I asked casually and they froze, cheering a second later. I grinned and motioned them to follow me. We went throughout the house, me leading everybody else for once! We went through the rooms, which included a library, four empty bedrooms and an indoor badminton court. I was just as shocked as they were when I saw the badminton court for the first time! (A/N: I LOVE badminton! :D) After a while, we arrived to my room... Or should I say, rooms. You see, since the house had many empty rooms and the one next to mine was also empty, I asked Mom and Dad if I could turn my neighbouring room into a mini library slash study. They gave me permission to do so and I placed all my novels and books on the bookshelves that Mom and Dad got made for me (they're really amazing!) and in one corner, next to the fireplace, I placed a couch that was previously in my room. It was in front of the window and it was the best spot to read. In the other side of the room, next to the door, was a... MY study table, upon which I had placed my notebooks and laptop and it was where I... Well, studied.

You might be wondering why I made my own mini library when there was an actual library in my house. Well you see, the main library was very antique looking and had on its shelves old leather bound books, along with classic novels and old wooden tables and chairs and I didn't want to ruin its look by adding my contemporary books to it. Dad told me that that library had been made by his grandfather and it was his job to look after it. I actually adored that fact! (A/N: I love old libraries, leather bound books and LOVE reading and writing... A LOT! :D)

Anyways, we all filed into my rooms, with half of the boys in my mini library and half in my bedroom. I was with Connor, Thomas and Riley in the mini library when I heard music coming from my room. I had a piano in the corner of my bedroom and I knew exactly who would've been playing it. I went into my bedroom to find Braiden playing an amazing tune on the piano. It wasn't fimiliar but I loved it already. I smiled as I saw his concentrated face as he pressed the black and white keys. Toby came up to me and hugged me from the side and I put my arms around him as well. Braiden smiled slightly as he changed the tune a bit. I recognised it immediately and my heart skipped a beat but i kept my face straight. What I didn't understand was how Braiden knew that the tune he was playing was of one of my favorite songs! He had started playing the tune of Just In Case by Conor Maynard. He glanced at me while playing it and I smiled slightly, resting my head on Toby's shoulder.

The rest of the guys also came into the room and when Braiden stopped playing, we all applauded him. He bowed in a funny manner, causing us to start laughing. We stayed in my room for the next hour or so, playing the piano, singing and just talking. During a fit of laughter that all of us got, my eye caught the wall clock in my bedroom. It read 10:25 pm. Woah...
