I woke up to the sound of music playing from downstairs, groaning, I got up and went to check where the music was coming from and what I saw was something I was not ready for.

Ethan and Corey were blasting Taylor Swift, specifically the song 'All Too Well', the 10 minutes version.

To say I was proud would be an understatement.

Ethan had a bottle of hot sauce in his hand while Corey held a ketchup bottle, they both pretended they were mics and kept singing and dancing around, the fridge light casting on their loving figures.

I leaned on the doorframe, watching them dance and sing to their heart's content when Corey finally noticed me, letting out a yelp and dropping his ketchup bottle which startled Ethan and caused him to do the same.

"Wow, I'm gonna give up my dancing career cause I stand no chance in front of you guys" I teased, making them both glare at me.

"Shut up" Ethan mumbled, closing the fridge and stopping the music.

"When did you even get here?" I asked Corey.

"You were asleep when I came so we just watched a movie and then played music and it somehow escalated to this" he replied, looking at me.

I was about to say something else when I heard my dad yell at us.

"You all go to sleep or I will kick you out of my house!" he yelled, anger and annoyance visible in his voice.

My father is just like me, we hate being woken up.

We all just stifled laughs and ran to my bedroom, closing the door behind us before dad could yell at us for something else.

"Gosh that was fun" Corey mumbled, a smile on his face.

"Yeah, now let's sleep, I'm dying" I said, throwing myself on the bed.

"Okay" Ethan replied, lifting the sheets and laying next to me.

"Don't do anything weird while I'm sleeping" Corey mumbled, earning a smack from both me and Ethan.

"One word and you're sleeping outside" I threatened, glaring at him.

We all settled on the bed and fell asleep only to wake up to Corey sleeping on the floor as me and Ethan were cuddled together.

"I'll never sleep with you guys, ever" he said as soon as he heard me get up.

"You're the one who pushed himself off" I retorted, rolling my eyes.

"Yes after you guys kept switching cuddling positions in your sleep! Who the fuck does that?!" Corey yelled, making Ethan who was still on the bed groan.

"Language!" I yelled, glaring at him.

"I'm going home" he mumbled, heading out the door.

"Wait, aren't you gonna have breakfast or anything?" I asked.

"No, I wanna shower in my place, I'll come back afterwards don't worry" Corey replied, waving at me before leaving.

"Where did Corey go?" Ethan asked, his eyes barely open.

"He got annoyed with us cuddling and left" I replied, shaking my head.

"Oh" was all he said before throwing himself on the bed and falling back asleep.

I rolled my eyes and went to shower, getting dressed and letting my hair air dry.

I was making breakfast when both Ethan and my father came down, both half asleep, wearing messed up robes with their hair all over the place.

I couldn't help but laugh, making them look at me in both confusion and annoyance which only filleted my laughter, making me run out of breath as tears threatened to escape my eyes.

"Where's mom?" I asked a after I had calmed down.

"She's asleep, she was awake while your friends were playing music but she was too nice to say anything" my dad replied, making both my eyes and Ethan's widen in shock.

"I'm so sorry" Ethan said, turning to look at my dad.

"It's okay, youngsters" my dad mumbled, gratefully taking the cup of coffee I handed him.

"It's not like I didn't do similar things when I was young, I forgive you but only because it was Taylor swift" he continued, staring at us through the corner of his eyes.

Ethan choked on air and looked at my dad in disbelief.

"Forgot to tell you but we all love Taylor swift in this household" I said, smirking.

Ethan was still trying the process the information when I placed a plate of food in front of him.

A few minutes later Corey came back, in a much better mood as he brought Brandon and Beth back with him and we all had breakfast together with my parents.

It felt like we were a big family and I could feel happiness bubble in my chest, sending a warm feeling coursing through my veins and it translated as a smile on my face.

"Why are you smiling?" Ethan asked, still not fully awake as he rested his head on mine.

"I'm just really happy" I replied, smiling at Corey who was excitedly talking about baseball with my dad, bringing up his favorite sport and Beth who was discussing design and fashion with my mom who studied fashion for three years while Brandon just looked at her lovingly.

"Everything seems perfect, doesn't it?" Ethan mumbled, smiling.

"Yeah, and I wouldn't have it any other way" I whispered.

Suddenly, Sean burst through the door, dragging a suitcase behind him.

"So you decide to have fun after I leave?" he asked, raising his brow.

"How did you even come here?" I questioned, chuckling as Ethan groaned at his presence.

"Plane, duh" he replied, rolling his eyes as I threw a fork at him.

"Ow! Fine! I was done with my work in Paris and the headquarters are now going to be in the city next to us, it's only a 10 minute drive from here"

"Just sit down and eat" I mumbled, trying to not show how happy I felt with the news.

I think this is my happily ever after....
———————————————————————————
Did I take too long to write this? Yes.
Do I have an excuse? Yes.
I edited the whole book, 61 chapters.
You might still find some mistakes cause I'm blind asf but there are actual paragraphs now.
If I wasn't broke, I would pay for the glasses y'all have to wear after reading that shit, idk what I was thinking.
Anyway, next chapter is the end, I already started it and there will be some extra chapters afterwards.
Also I might make a sequel or a spin-off of the story with Corey and Sean's story but that's still to be decided, I still have too many
projects as of now.

Also thank you to my friend iamnowkenma for giving me the dance fridge idea, she's the best istg.
