Autumn's pov

"so have you told him yet?" hazel asks while I was frosting a cupcake

"no" I said simply

"it's almost time, you are already packed up and you've been avoiding him. You can't avoid him forever you know" Holland says

"I know, I wish it could be easy to tell him" I said "by the way thank you for watching the bakery while I am in LA" I said

"yeah your welcome" hazel says

I put the cupcakes in the fridge to let them cool "and yes those cupcakes can be eaten by the savages you guys are" I said

"that's not just true, we are very civilized people" Holland says

"except the boys" hazel says and we all laugh

"what are you laughing about in here?" Cooper says and the other boys came in including Brad

"nothing, autumn baked cupcakes for us before she leaves-" Holland cuts herself off by putting her hand on her mouth

"what do you mean?" Brad asks

"no nothing let's go guys looks like they have alot to talk about" Holland says and everyone left except Brad and me

"what did she mean your leaving?"

"did you know your looking good today-"

"cut the bullshit tell me what she meant" he says

I sighed caving in "remember that interview I took a couple weeks ago?, I got it and it's in LA, I'm leaving in 3 days" I said

He looks at me like I was joking "your kidding?"

"no I'm not"

"why didn't you tell me sooner Autumn!" he shouts

"don't shout at me! and I didn't tell you because I didn't think you would've accept it"

"of course I support it! But you could've told me sooner so I can process that"

"how can you process that?! I'm leaving and that's what I want" I said walking around the counter to the exit but he grabs me by the arm and turned me around to face him

"You can't just drop that bomb on me then expect me to let you walk out here!, we have to talk-"

"there's nothing to talk about! It's not like you want me to stay-"

"of course I want you to stay!" he shouts

I froze of what he said "w-what?"

"I want you to stay here with us...with me"

"brad-"

"no stop talking for a goddamn second. You should stay a-and go out with me, date me! Just stay here....i can't let you go not right now not like this" he says then he pulled me into a  passionate kiss

I didn't kiss him back for a minute but I did but I pulled away "I gotta go" I said running past everyone and went to my room

I started to pace around my room and the door opens "not now guys, I'm having a crisis" I said to my brothers

"we know we heard everything" Cooper says

"first don't judge us for listening in your conversation, second are you OK?" Cameron says

I sigh and sat on the bed "yes and no"

"so are you gonna stay?" Cooper says sitting next to me

"we know this is a big deal but....what do you really want?" Cameron says

"I want to stay with you guys and...go on dates with Brad but that means I'm gonna pass this opportunity"

"You can call Amanda maybe she can pause your work or something" Cameron said

"why are you helping me decide?"

"because even though your a pain in the ass little sister...your still our sister and we love you" Cooper says

I smiled "I love you too" I said

"great, now go call your boss and tell you situation" Cameron says

"we'll be downstairs" Cooper says

They went downstairs and I picked up my phone and dialed Amanda's number

"autumn sweetie how are you everything ok?" Amanda answers

"I can't go" I said simply

"excuse me darling but why?"

I explained what happened "well alright but if you want it just go to the my shop and you can work for me if you want"

"really?"

"yes, we can work out a schedule, you can work at your bakery and you can work here too."

"umm ok I can do that, can I call you back?"

"sure"

We both hung up and I went downstairs quickly "I'm staying!" I said

"what?" holland says standing up in her seat

"I'm staying, I'm not leaving....they offered me to work here instead"

"oh my God! Yes!" hazel says hugging me

"thank God because we would've endured you not being here and without you there's no one to cook delicious food" Cameron says

"thanks for making me feel helpful" I said "is Brad still here?" I ask

"his outside at the porch" Tristan says

I gave everyone a nod and went outside, as I went outside I saw Brad sitting on the porch steps "hi" I said sitting next to him

"hi" he says not looking at me

"look I'm so-"

"when are you leaving?"

I smiled at him "why are you smiling this is no smiling matter" Brad says

"nothing...its just cute seeing you freak out about me leaving"

He stayed silent "didn't you hear the conversation in there?" I ask him

"no, what did you talk about?"

"the fact that I'm staying and I'm not going anywhere" I said

"wait what?"

"didn't you hear me?, I said im-"

"your staying and we can-" this time I cut him off with a kiss

"yeah we can" I said breaking the kiss

He smiles and pulls me in for another one "awww" me and Brad pulled away and looked everyone by the door looking at us

"guys!" I said

"sorry" they all said and they closed the door

"so where were we?" Brad asks

"we were just make out in my room but that moment had past" I said

He pouts "oh man" he says

I smiled and put my head on his shoulder "this the best idea I have ever had" I said gesturing to me and him

"I agree" he says kissing the top of my head
