"BESTFRIENDS" I hear Jack scream

I stand up and turn to the door.

As soon as it clicks in my brain I leap over the couch and run to the door.

I pull her into a hug.

"I'm so happy you're here," I tell her

She buries her face in my chest.

Her hair smells so nice and it's so soft.

Daniel starts gushing about how cute this must be.

I don't even care how cheesy this must be.

After a few minutes, Corbyn lets us know that the fire is all set up in the backyard.

Keeley tries to tell me that she's too heavy.

She's really not.

She argues with me about it.

I eventually pick her up and carry her to the backyard.

We sit around the fire and start to catch up.

Everything feels right again.

With the fire, the stars, and the company I really wouldn't want this any other way.

We sit and talk about random things from the week.

"Crap," Keel says

"What?"

"I have to go move the car."

"I can move it." I offer

"Nah, I got it."

She goes to get up and I reach out for her arm.

"You should stay."

"I'm not leaving yet, but I do need to at least move the car."

"Okay,"

She gets up and grabs the keys.

I make my way back to the car.

Tonight's been really nice.

I don't really want to leave yet, but I know we're gonna have to soon.

After a couple of minutes, I reach the car.

I move the car up into the drive.

I then head back to the backyard.

Once I get back I'm welcomed back to my spot.

"Corbyn I'm staying over." Zach states "You guys should just stay over." Zach whispers

"That's not up to just me."

"I know. I don't think she's gonna be all that opposed to it." He says gesturing to Jonah and V

We continue talking about random things.

Today has been pretty good.

My brain does hurt a bit from catching up.

"You seem tired," Zach says

I nod with a yawn.

"You guys are totally fine to stay." Corbyn assures

I nod.

The stories continue.
