Congratulations🥀

Next day, I woke up to the sound of a phone vibrating!

As I stood up from the bed, I remembered that we weren't on my normal room, we were at the cabin!

I looked back to the bed and see Zach peacefully sleeping!

Why is he so cute?

I walk to the nightstand in the corner and grab my phone which was the one ringing!

I answered it without even seeing who was calling!

"Hello?" I say!

"Hey Sis, thank god you answered! Are you guys okay? Where did you guys go?" Logan said!

It was Logan!

"We are good! We are at one of Zach's little cabins in the mountains" I tell him!

"Okay! I couldn't call yesterday night since we had to call the police and you know" he explains!

"Oh, but you're okay right?" I asked him worriedly since when Zach and I left, my dad was hitting them all and had a knife near him!

"Yeah, don't worry! Andy just has some bruises but thankfully we are all fine!" He says and then let's out a sigh!

"I promise that he won't come back! He will be behind those bars for a long time!" He adds!

"Thank you Logan" I tell him!

"For what?" He asks!

"Thank you for always protecting me and always risking yourself for me! I love you big brother!" I tell him!

"I love you too sis!" He says!

I smile!

"Well I got to go, but before I hang up, Jake already knows about it! He was really worried when Mike called him but we told him that Zach took you away from the house!" He says!

"Oh okay! I'll give him a call later! And thank you again!" I say!

"You're welcome!" He says!

"Bye and stay safe" he adds before hanging up!

I turn around and look at Zach and then at the promise ring and smile!

I walk towards the bed and lay down next to Zach!

I turn to face him and start kissing his cheek!

He opens his eyes slowly and immediately smiles when he sees me!

"You're so cute! You know that right?" He says smiling!

I smile at him and cover my face with the blankets because I knew that for sure, I was blushing!

"Stop covering your face! I already know you're blushing" he says grabbing the pillow that I was covering my face with and throwing it to the floor so that he could see my face!

He grabs my cheek and kisses me!

"Do you want to go eat something?" He asks pulling away!

I nod!

"What do you want beautiful?" He asks!

I look around the room while thinking about good food places until I remembered 'The burger place' which is a place where they sell the best pancakes with French toasts!

"The burger place" I tell him!

"You know that place too?" He asks as his face lights up!

"Yeah!" I simply say!

"I love that place! My parents and I always used to go there! It was our place!" He says as his smile slowly turns into a frown!

I see his eyes slowly forming a tear!

I grab him and pull him into a hug as I felt his tears fall into my shoulder!

I rubbed his back!

We got off the car as soon as we saw the restaurant around the street!

Zach payed the valet parking guy and then intertwined our hands!

As we walked in, I turned and looked at Zach!

"Wait Zach! Don't you have practice with the boys today?" I ask him!

"No! Not today!" He says!

"And you know, If I got a day off, then it's date night! I've been saving this time, especially for you!" He says referring to one of his songs!

I smile!

We continue walking as he requested a table for two!

"Why have you been changing moods lately?" I ask Zach as we were waiting on our food!

"For this reason" he said as he points to the promise ring in my hand!

I looked at him with a confused look!

"I didn't want to give the surprise away! If I would have looked at your adorable face, then I would have changed my mind and just told you everything but I couldn't, so I had to be serious and not around you the whole time" he explained!

"You scared me! You were making me think that I had done something wrong" I say!

He shakes his head and smiles!

After we were done with our food, we drove back home and as soon as I walked in, I heard "Congratulations"!

What the heck was going on?

I looked around to see Team 10, Jake, Logan, Mike, Andy, and Aj!

I furrowed my eyebrows!

Why are they here?

I looked at Zach and he was just smiling!

They all came to hug me!

"Congratulations on the promise ring!" Aj said as he gave me a huge hug.

I turned back to Zach to see him winking!

"This is what all this is about?" I asked Zach!

He nodded!

"I texted them in the morning that you had discovered the surprise before it was time so I had to tell you everything and they wanted to throw a party" he says while hugging me!

I hug him back!

Everyone I mostly loved was here except Christina! She couldn't come since she was on tour but she did FaceTime me after the party and asked me to spill everything that had happened!
