The dinner was a funny mess.

Our Parents got drunk off of Champagne and started to talk about their "Younger Days".

Easton and Asher got into a heated argument about Batman vs. Captain America.

Stella and I were gossiping about stupid rumors that happened throughout the school year, but we were tipsy so it kinda of sounded like we were whining about them.

Easton and Asher had to carry Stella and I home since we could barely stand up.

In actuality we probably looked hilarious while we were leaving the restaurant.

But within our circle, you can tell that the boys were frustrated because they had to take care of four drunk girls.

"Remind me never to drink again" I say as I wake up the next morning with hangover. He turns his head away from the television and looks at my exhausted facial expression with a frown.

"I told you not to drink the champagne" he says with a shrug before he gets up and walking into his bathroom

"I didn't think it would be that strong" I say as he walks out of his bathroom with a bottle of pain killers. He smiles at me before picking me up bridal style which makes me squeak and cling onto him.

He walks out of his room and down the stairs as I squeeze my eyes shut since every step he takes makes me feel a pounding in my head. When he finally reaches the last step, he walks in the direction of the kitchen and places me on the countertop.

"What would you like to drink?" He asks as he stands in between my legs and places his hands on my knees

"Apple juice" I say with a pout since I'm weirdly craving it

He smiles at me before he places a kiss my forehead and walks towards the refrigerator.

He comes back to his previous position while holding a glass of apple juice and two pain reliever tablets. I accept them and place the pills in my mouth before using the apple juice to swallow them.

I set the empty glass down beside my hip before I lean forward and wrap my arms around his neck and lay my head on his shoulder.

"Are you okay?" He asks with a small chuckle as he wraps his arms around my waist

"Yeah," I say as I just hold him tightly, as if he would fade away

"I love you" I say as my voice cracks which causes him to tighten his hold on me before he places a kiss on my neck

"I love you too" he says as he starts to rub my back soothingly.

Our moment was ruined by Stella walking into the kitchen while groaning.

"You look like you came from the walking dead" Easton says as he continues to hold me but looks directly at Stella

I lift my head and look behind me. She looked tired and you could tell that she was hungover.

"And you look like you came from Barney, but I didn't say anything" she says to him with a glare which makes me laugh

"What does that even mean?" He asks before I jump off the counter and wrap my arms around his waist

"You're a dinosaur from my nightmares" she says with an eye roll as she walks to the refrigerator and pulls out a water bottle. He rolls his eyes as I stifle a laugh.

"Can you both shut up, it's too early in the morning for you to be this loud" Mrs. Hayes says as she walks into the kitchen while rubbing her temples

"Um, Mrs. Hayes, It's one in the afternoon" I say which makes her eyes widen as she turns to Easton and gives him a stern look

She looks like she's scolding him with her eyes.

"Um, I have to go meet up with some people, so I'm going to go get dressed" he says when his mom gives him a murderous glare

"Do you want me to go with you?" I ask him as I grab his forearm when he goes to walk away. He turns to me and smiles before kissing my forehead.

"No, I'll be okay" he says with a reassuring smile before he goes upstairs. As soon as we hear his door close his mom claps her hands together with excitement.

"Amelia, I'm taking you shopping today" Mrs. Hayes says with a big smile on her face, I look at her with a confused expression before I turn to Stella who has an excited facial expression

Um, okay?

"Why?" I ask but neither of their expressions falter

"It's a surprise" they say simultaneously

"Okay, when are we leaving?" I ask since I'm starving

"After you get dressed" Stella says before she grabs my wrist and drags me upstairs towards her room. I look around and see that she has random textbooks on her floor but I don't see Asher.

I thought I saw him come in here with her last night.

"Where's Asher?" I ask as I sit on the corner of the bed

If he was here, there's no telling what they've done on this bed.

"He left after I woke up early this morning" she says with a shrug as she tries to find an outfit for me to wear

I really need to bring more clothes over here.

"Oh" I say before she throws a pair of shorts and a tank top at me. I roll my eyes before I walk into her bathroom so that I can take a shower.

I hope they don't make me shop all day.

I can only handle looking at clothes for so long until I lose it.
