I wake up and grab black sweatpants, and a plain white shirt.
I change into them and then go into the bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair.
I wash my face then walk back to the room.
Lauren groans and stretches.
I sit on the bed and grab my phone.
"Why are you up so early?"She asks wrapping her arms around my waist.
"It's 7 in the morning,"I say.
"That's my point,"
I scroll through instagram and she turns off my phone and puts it on the nightstand.
"Cuddle with me,"She says.
I lay down and wrap my arms and legs around her.
She lays her head on my chest and I smile.
Until her phone goes off.
She groans and let's go of me so she can grab her phone.
"Babe. The girls want to come over,"She says.
"Are any of them other than Christina even awake?"I ask.
"I guess so,"She responds.
"Tell them they can come if they bring food,"
She nods and sends a text the gets up.
She walks into the bathroom to do her morning routine then comes back out.
She goes to the closet grabs an outfit and changes.
Once she finishes she lays back down and wraps her arms around me.
I wrap my legs and arms around her laying my head on her chest as she traces invisible shapes on my back under my shirt.
She kisses my head and I smile.
"I love you,"She mumbles.
"I love you too,"
We cuddle until the door opens indicating that the girls arrived.
I get off of Lauren and fix my hair in the mirror then we walk downstairs.
I hug all of the girls and say hi.
Dani walks in with food.
"Thanks,"I say grabbing the bag.
I put it on the table and Y/s/N looks at me.

"What?"I ask.
"Are we going to record tomorrow?"She asks.
"Probably. What are we going to do?"I ask.
"I was hoping we could do the girlfriend tag with Dani and Lauren. If Laurens okay with that,"She says.
"I'll ask her,"
Lauren grabs two plates and I open the boxes of food.
All the girls sit on the couch and the door opens again revealing my sisters.
"What are you doing here?"I ask and Lauren smacks my arm.
I groan.
"Be nice,"She says.
"Says the one that smacked me,"I mumble.
"What?"She questions.
"Nothing,"I say instantly.
"Knowing you, you were probably going to stay home for the day. So wanna do a photoshoot? None of you have been active on social media lately and I need more pictures to post,"Addison says.
I look at Lauren and she nods.
"Okay, but later!"
"We just came because when we're here the whole family is here and that gets annoying,"Roni says and Nessa nods.
Lauren and I eat the food and once we finish we wash the dishes and sit on the couch.
I sit on Lauren lap.
"Is there anything going on in anyone's life right now?"I ask.
"Oh! You remember my friend Max?"Katherine asks.
"Yeah,"We all nod.
"The guy you've crushed on for a long time,"Lauren says.
"Yeah. Anyway, Max asked me out! We're going on a date on Friday,"Katherine exclaims.
Everyone screams so I cover my ears.
Once they finish I slowly uncover them and Lauren smiles at me.
"This was your fault, you asked,"She says.
"Yeah, but I didn't expect you guys to scream,"I say.
They all fall into conversations.
I'm talking to the twins and Lauren is just listening to people's conversations.
"I kinda miss Florida,"Roni says.
"I can see why. It's Florida, all of your friends were there,"I say.

"I know. Me and Aaron were getting close too. I really like him,"She says.
"May I remind. You and Nessa have money. You can go to Florida whenever you want. And I'm sure they will come visit sometime,"
"How do you know that?"She asks.
"Franny and Nezza visited me. I'm pretty sure your boyfriend would be more than happy to visit you,"I say.
"He's not my boyfriend. We aren't official. We don't know what we are,"
"I understand that, but if you don't make it official what's stopping him from seeing other girls?"I ask.
"I hate it when you're right,"She groans.
"Mhm. So call Aaron, talk to him about it. I'm sure he will be more than happy to be in a relationship with you Roni,"I say.
"Okay. Thanks,"She says.
"I'm just speaking the truth,"
"Also do you always have to be so clingy to Lauren?"She asks looking at Lauren and I.
"I don't have to be, but I like it so..."
"I'm going to call Franny and Nezza,"She says and walks into a guest room.
I get off of Laurens lap and I walk into the kitchen.
People give me headaches. And there are 9 people out there talking.
I grab a water bottle and someone walks into the kitchen.
I don't turn around until I feel someone's arms wrap around my waist.
I smile as I look down at their hands and lean into them.
"Headache?"She asks.
I nod.
"Go to the room and lay down. I'll be up here in a little bit,"She says and kisses my cheek.
"Okay,"
I grab my water bottle and go to our room.
I lay down and go on my phone.
I scroll through instagram and I get a text.
I put my phone down and just stare at the ceiling deep in thought.
About my songs. Thinking out Loud isn't coming out until our wedding. The other songs I wrote I still have to talk to Y/s/N about them.
"I'm back,"Lauren says and walks into the room.
She lays down and wraps her arms around me.
"Your sister wanted us to do the photoshoot now,"Lauren says.
"Alright give me a minute. I need to change,"I say and get up.
"Why? You look cute,"She says.
"I'm not doing a photo shoot in sweats,"I say and peck her lips before walking to the closet.
I grab black ripped jeans, a white plain shirt, a black denim jacket, and a black belt.
I change into it and then Lauren and I walk downstairs.
I put on my black high top vans and we walk to the car where the girls are waiting for us.
Basically we spent hours just taking pictures in the middle of the streets trying not to get hit by cars, in abandoned parking garages, in empty restaurants. Yeah basically anywhere we could go.
Lauren and I post a few pictures on our accounts giving credit to Addison because she told us she would delete all of our pictures if we didn't.
"Laurie,"I say as Lauren walks out of the room.
"Yes?"She asks.
"Y/s/N wanted to know if we could do the girlfriend tag for our video. We have to film tomorrow. Her and Dani are fine with it. So you wanna do it?"I ask.
"Sure. Why not? It's not like anyone knows anything about our relationship. Why not educate them,"She says walking into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.
I grab my phone and text Y/s/N that Lauren and I are fine with recording the girlfriend tag.
We both tweet asking for question they want us to answer.
Tomorrow is going to be fun.
