“WAKE UPPPPPPPP!”

“Go away.” I grumbled at the body jumping on the bed.

“SPENCERRRRRRRRRR GET UP!”

I rolled over, shoving my face into the pillow.


“Spenny. Don’t make me yank the covers off. It’s quite cold in here.”

“Harry go away. I’m sleeping.” I groaned.

“Babe, it’s nearly 8 in the morning. We gotta go!”

“Go where at this hour?”

“The beach.”

“The beach?” I peeked an eye from under the covers.

“Yes, we’re all going to the beach and the girls would be awfully sad if you didn’t get your arse out of bed and join us.”

“Okay, the beach I’m coming.” I rolled onto my back, stretching out.

“I love you.” Harry kissed me.

“Yeah, yeah. Tell me again in an hour when I’ve had my coffee.”

“About the coffee. I got you a cup, it’s on the dresser.” He smirked kissing me again.

“You’re the best.” I kissed him back.

“Oh and the shower is running at the temperature you like.” He kissed me again.

“Maybe I should marry you.” I joked, pulling him down onto the bed with me.

“Stop, we have to get ready.”

“We can’t fool around?” I pouted.

“Not here, but I haven’t showered yet either.” He winked, jogging into the bathroom.

“Fucking kid.” I laughed to myself.


--------------


“We never thought you’d guys would make it.” Liam rolled his eyes as we approached the spot they already had on the beach.

It took us a little longer to get ready than everyone else. Sorry we’re not sorry we did it a few times in the shower. The rest of the group left without us, making us get our own ride there. Some friends, right? We finally made it though.

“Sorry, got caught up.” Harry mumbled.

“Yeah, caught up.” I nodded.

“Having sex we know.” Louis rolled his eyes from the towel he was laying on.

“Girls are swimming.” Liam said.

“I see this.” I nodded, setting the towel I had brought down next to where I assumed one of the girls was set up.

“Thought, you’d want to go see them or something.” He smiled.

“Liam, are you good?” I laughed.

“Nervous but good.”

“Nervous?” I questioned. “Why?”

“You didn’t tell her?” he looked at Harry.

“No, was I supposed to?”

“I told Em.” Louis said, not bothering to open his eyes.

“I told Niall.” Zayn joked.

“Tell me what?” I looked at Harry.

“He’s proposing today. That’s why we’re all here.”

“WHAT??!” I shrieked.

“Shhhhhh! She has no idea.” Liam scolded me. “And it better stay that way.”

“Yes, understood.” I laughed as the girls got to us. “So what are you doing it?”


“I don't know I was thinking after we had a little lunch.” He shrugged.

“That's going to be so cute. I can't even wait.” I smiled big.

“I can’t even. Do you get anymore white girl?” Zayn asked, laughing.

“Shut up.” I stuck my tongue out. “It’s cute.”

“Better him than me.” Lou joked

“Oh shut up Lou, you love Emily and you know it.” Harry said

“Never said I didn't love her.” He shrugged. He had a point.

“Fancy of you to join us.” Rachel joked as the girls approached us. “Took you two long enough.”

“I remember when Lou and I were in that stage.” Emily looked at her boyfriend. “What happened to that?”

“Ha ha funny.” I said flatly.

“You want to shag more?” Lou said eyes still closed.

“Don’t seem so interested.” Emily plopped down on top of him.

“Bloody hell woman! You’re wet and crushed me balls!” he groaned.

“I could be wet for different reason if you’d want to do it more.” I crossed her arms, not getting up from her straddling position.

“You shag me dick off every time we’re together.” He looked at her. “That’s not enough?”

“Do we have to talk about this?” Niall groaned loudly. “It’s depressing hearing how much everyone does it and I’m over here wanking every night.”

“Go find a random girl and bang her brains out.” Zayn said rummaging through his bag. “That’s what I do.”

“I’m not like you, I can’t do that.” He rolled his eyes.

“Smoke some of this and you’ll be able to.” He smirked waving a blunt around.

“Zayn, we’re on a public beach.” Liam sighed.

“It could be a cigar Liam.” Zayn shot back.

“Sure, I guess.” Liam said. “If anyone gets asked what we were smoking on the beach, it was a cigar. Understood?”

Everyone agreed. I wasn’t about to get in the middle of more shenanigans. Everyone was laughing about something Louis said as my phone began to ring. I dug through my bag before I finally found it.

“Who's calling you?” Harry asked.

“It's…ummm. It’s work. I have to take this.” I stuttered after seeing it was Zac’s name on the ID. “I'll be right back.”

I took a short walk away from the group, not knowing what Zac really wanted.

“Hello?” I answered.

“Hey Spencer what's up?” he asked cheerful.

“Why are you calling me right now? You know I'm on vacation.” I sighed. He couldn’t do this.

“I just wanted to see how everything was going. You know make sure I hadn't caused too many problems, taking you to the airport.”

“No everything is fine here. Is everything okay with you?” I asked, confused as to why he thought it was okay to just call me out of the blue.

“Yep I’m just holding the fort down back here in New York, rough work.” He laughed.

“Yes I'm sure that's so tough with the life you live.” I rolled my eyes.

“Hey it's not easy being me sometimes.” He acted offended.

“I'm sure. Endless girls throwing themselves at you, ridiculous amounts of money to spend on whatever you please, movie scripts being thrown at you left and right, yeah it's so tough.” I joked.

“Well when you put it like that.” He laughed. “You’ll get it one day.”

“Yes I'm sure when I become the famous girlfriend who cheats with every celebrity she meets.” I laughed.

“You know that's not going to happen.” He said seriously.

“But it is what the media says, aren't they always right.” I laughed trying to get him to go along with it.

“Oh yes everything the paparazzi says 100% true. I forgot.” he joked back.

“But hey if you really don't need anything I can text you later but I'm kind of at the beach with everyone right now.”

“The beach? I’m jealous. But yeah that's fine I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.” I could hear the smile in his voice.

“Yes its going very well, thanks.”

“I’m glad to hear that Spencer but I'm also going to be excited when you get back.”

“And why's that?” I was confused.

“I do believe you still owe me a drink.” That cheeky bastard.

“You know I think I'm might.” I sigh, laughing. I had hoped he forgot.

“Not might, you definitely do.” He laughed.

“Whatever we'll meet up when I land back in New York.” I said, looking over at the group all laughing and carrying on before turning back around.

“I’m holding you too it.” He said.

“Yes, I know, I’ll pencil you in.” I joked.

“Sounds perfect have a lovely rest your trip Miss McMichael

“Have a lovely boring stay New York City Mr. Efron.” I joked back

“Bye Spencer.”

“See ya.” I smiled, hanging up the phone.

“Mr. Efron?” I heard Harrys voice from behind me making me jump.

“What? Hi?” I turned around.

“Why did he call you when he knows you’re on vacation?” Harry asked.

“He just needed to verify something about the suit.” I shrugged.

“When is the lying going to stop about him Spencer?” Harry sighed.

“I'm not lying Harry! I'm doing business with him! Do you want me to not have a job?”

“That didn't sound like business.”

“And what would you know about how business sounds? Someone does that for you.” I snapped.

“Oh really? I don’t make any of my own decisions?”

“We all can’t be in a fucking boy band and have everything handed to them.” I shouted.

“Are we going there?” he said quietly.

“Yes, I’m sorry we’re all not perfect British singers who try out for the show and have the world give them everything.”

“Well I’m sorry you had to grow up in a fucking mansion with a famous mother and a loaded dad. I’m sorry we’re all not perfect American spoiled rich kids and we have to honestly go after our dreams. Not let money hand it to us.”

“My mom handed this to me? Okay, that’s why I struggled through years of school. That’s why I didn’t sleep for nights on end last semester. Yes that’s probably why I am where I am today.”

“Why are we even arguing about this?” I threw my hands up. “This has nothing to do with how we got to where we are.”

“The fuck it isn’t.” he snapped.

“Harry stop.”

“I’m going to let anyone talk to me like that, let alone you.”

“Let alone me? What the fuck does that even mean?” I looked at him dumbfounded. “I’m your girlfriend.”

“Are you?”

“Last time I checked, yeah.”

“Then start fucking acting like it.”

“Good, now it comes out.” I crossed my arms over my bikini clad chest.

“Yeah, it comes out. I’m sick and tired and worrying about if you’re still with me or if I missed the fucking memo and you’ve moved on. I’m sick of hearing you’re out with other guys. I’m sick of Louis making Niall jokes. I’m sick of the world not knowing who your boyfriend really is. Make it clear to Zac that when you get back, you aren’t friends, you’re doing a business job.”

“Don’t be that person Harry. I’m not sleeping with him. I never was and never planned on it.”

“Zac or me.”

“Why are you being such an intolerable twat right now?” I groaned, growing frustrated.

“What if I start hanging out with someone who’s super-hot?”

“Go for it, I trust you.”

“Do you? What if I start giving her rides places and we start having lunches all the time?”

“Go for it. I’ll say it again, I trust you. It’s time you trust me.”

“How am I supposed to trust you won’t cheat again after you did with my best mate? My best mate Spencer, if you did it with him, what’s stopping you from doing it with someone random?” he ran a hand through his hair.

“1. That was 7 months ago, let it go. 2. I have no sexual interest in Zac Efron. 3. I am madly and deeply in love with you. 4. Stop. Just stop.” I felt the first tear drop.

“It’s too hard. I can’t keep doing this.” He sighed. “I can’t live like this.”

“Are we breaking up?”

“No, I don’t know. I just can’t keep on like this.”

“Tour is over in a week. You’ll be back in no time. You can sit in on a meeting with Zac; you’ll see nothing is happening. I promise. Harry please.” Jesus, was I begging him not to dump me?

“Spencer.” He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close. He let his chin rest on the top of my head as I cried into chest. My arms were as tight as they could go around his back, as if the harder I held, he wouldn’t be able to leave."I never meant to fall in love with you. I just did! Now look at this mess we've made of each other." He mumbled into my hair. "I'm never going to give up on you Spencer. Never."

“I don’t want you too, because I’m not giving up either. No matter how hard it gets. I’m yours and you’re mine. Forever.”

“Forever.” He kissed the top of my head.

“Can we stop fighting?” I looked up at him.

“Yes. I’m so sorry.” He kissed my lips.

“I’m sorry too.” I giggled in between the million kisses he was giving me.

“I think we’re bipolar.” He laughed.

“I think we’re two stubborn 20 year olds in love.” I kissed him again as he interlocked our fingers.

“I’d agree to that.” He smiled over at me as we walked back towards the group.

“You don’t really think I’m an intolerable twat, do you?” he looked concerned for a second.

“Only on occasions and that was one of them.” I shrugged.

“I guess I deserved that one.” He stuck his tongue out.

“Everything okay you two?” Liam asked as we sat back down with the rest of the group.

“Yeah, everything’s okay.” I smiled at Harry.

“What the fuck, 3 minutes ago you were yelling so loud we could hear you and now you’re making out and smiling all giggly? What is wrong with kids today?” Louis shook his head.

“Almost gone, you know you want that last bit.” Zayn handed me what little of the blunt that was left.

“Seriously?” Harry rolled his eyes.

“You should try it mate. It may calm you down.” Louis laughed. “Even Li took a hit and there are paps everywhere.”

“Maybe one day.” I watched as Harry kept a tight jaw.

“Give him a beer and nothing is wrong with that, try and give him a hit of medication and damn it’s the end of the world.” Zayn laughed.

Speaking of medication, I could probably use a Xanax after that fight with Harry. If nothing else, it’ll relax me regardless. I dug through my bag searching for it. Once I found it I cracked open a beer and downed two just in case.

“Are ya sick Spencer?” Niall asked.

“Oh no it’s for my migraines.” I smiled, slipping the bottle back into my bag.

“Beer and headache meds?” Emily laughed.

“You’ve been hanging out with Ella too long.” Rachel joked.

“Shut up! It was the closest thing!” I laughed along with everyone.

“Man I’m starving.” Niall sighed.

“We brought food, let’s eat!” Liam smiled. I knew he was excited because it was growing closer and closer to when he would be able to propose.

(Harry POV)

“Man, chill out. It’s going to be okay.” I laughed as Liam paced the small area of the beach we had to ourselves.

“I didn’t think so many paps would be here, and I took one too many hits off that blunt. Why did you guys let me get stoned when I’m about to propose to my girlfriend?”

“I figured it would make you less nervous.” Zayn shrugged.

“Dude, she’s going to say yes, you know that.” Niall said.

“It’s getting dark, maybe the paparazzi won’t be able to tell what’s happening.” Louis shrugged.

“They always know what’s happening.” Liam groaned plopping down on a towel. “Fuck.”

“Don’t worry man, we’ll record it ourselves. It’s going to be special.” I smiled.

“You better do it before it gets completely dark though.” Zayn suggested.

“True, Harry go get them out of the water.” Liam looked at me.

“Alright. Before I go though, do you think Spencer is acting weird?”

“She just seemed a little twisted, why?” Louis shrugged.

“She told me yesterday that those pills were for her allergies and today she told us they were for migraines.” I sighed. “Do you think she’s doing harder drugs?”

“I don’t man, she’s seemed pretty with it since she landed.” Liam gave me a worried look.

“Look man if you’re worried I could say I have a headache and see if she gives one up or fights it.” Niall offered.

“What if it’s drugs and not really migraine medicine?” I asked.

“Then I trip balls.” Niall laughed.

“I don’t want to make you do that.”

“I could, I already trip balls off of drugs.” Zayn said.

“If you want.” I shrugged unsure.

“Why don’t you wait until she falls asleep tonight and then find the bottle and see what is says. If the pills don’t seem to match what the bottle says then take one out and bring it to us. We can have someone figure out what it is.” Liam recommended.

“That’s not a bad idea.” I said.

“I don’t want you guys to take anything you don’t have too.”

“I already drop acid on the regular. I think I could handle whatever Spencer is taking.” Zayn shrugged.

“Well there it is.” Niall laughed. “Zayn’s fucked up. He’s admitting to acid.”

“It’s not like we didn’t know he did it.” Louis said.

“True but it’s funny when he brings it up.” Niall smiled.

“You guys are retarded.” I rolled my eyes, heading towards the girls beer in hand.



----------



(Spencer POV)

“Damn it’s cold.” I laughed as Rachel splashed me.

“Get in pussy!” she shouted at me.

“Rachel are you drunk?” Emily laughed, looking at me. She couldn’t be drunk for her proposal.

“No, I had one beer.” she rolled her eyes. “Can’t I have fun?”

“Yesssssssssss you can have.” I giggled as she drug me under water.

“I love you guys.” Emily laughed. “And I’m fucking ripped as fuck. Zayn always gets that good shit no matter where we are.”

“Emily have you ever done anything else?” Rachel asked.

“Maybe.” She laughed, slowly submerging herself to her neck in water.

“Like what?” Rachel asked shocked.

“I’ve snorted coke before. Don’t fucking judge me!” she laughed. “I’m a model! Shit happens!”

“Holy shit, never expected that.” I said as Rachel kept staring.

“Okay McMichael, what about you?”

“Molly, Xanax.” I said.

“Not surprised.” Rachel laughed.

“Shut up!” I splashed a huge wave of water at her.

“With Ella?” Emily asked.

“Yes!”

“Me too!” Emily laughed.

“You hang out with Ella without me?” I asked.

“This was before you existed. It was before I was even dating Louis.” She shrugged.

“Man we’re fucked up.” I said.

“Guys, serious question.” Rachel said out of nowhere.

“What’s up babes?” I asked.

“Do you think Liam is being weird?”

“No, why?”

“I don’t know, he’s been all weird since I woke him up this morning. It’s like he’s hiding something almost. He’s a shit liar.” She frowned.

“No Rachel, I think Liam loves you more than anything in the world. I wouldn’t worry about anything.” Emily smiled hugging her.

“Yeah Rach, nothing is wrong I’m sure.” I joined the hug.

“TEAM PILE UP!” we heard Harry shout before we all were smashed into the water. Once we came back up we couldn’t stop laughing.

“You arse!” Rachel flicked water at Harry.

“Yeah, you dick.” I jumped on him, sinking him again.

He wrapped his arms around my bottom; I quickly wrapped my legs around his torso. He kissed me a few times before I pulled away.

“You guys are gross.” Emily rolled her eyes, jumping onto to us.

“We’re breaking into the fancy shit. Nialler popped some champagne.” Harry smiled.

“Are you saying you want us to come back then?” Emily winked at me and Harry knowing Liam was ready.

“Yes, come get hammered.” He smiled, not making it obvious.

We all followed him out of the water, grabbing for towels as soon as we made it back. It was honestly starting to get cold. It was technically only spring here even though it was fall in the US.

“Guys, I fucking love all of you.” Zayn smiled lighting a cigarette.

“We love you man.” Niall smiled, taking a cig for himself.

“How drunk are you two?” I laughed at the pair.

“Shut up lady, we can love each other.” Zayn smiled at me.

“I love you Spencer.” Emily joked.

“I love you girl.” I shot back causing everyone to burst out in laughter.

“You know who I love?” Liam started; I noticed Harry had his phone on record. “I love you Rachel.”

She smiled, accepting his kiss. “I love you too Li.”

“I love you endlessly. I don’t think I would have made it through these past 4 years without you. Our lives changed so much and you stuck through it with me. 4 years ago we were an average teenage couple, trying to figure out what love really was. And now, being 21 I feel like I know I’ve found the real thing.”

“Liam, what are you going on about?” she started but he cut her off.

“Let me finish.” He smiled. He hadn’t gotten on one knee yet, so she had no idea. “After the lads and I got put together in this madness that ending up being the best thing in my life, second to only you, nothing between us changed. You stayed with me through the ups and downs. The fame and fans. You never left my side. It only made my love grow stronger and stronger for you. Even after all these years I find myself noticing little things I hadn’t before and I fall in love all over again. I was so afraid I was going to lose you once I became famous, and you have no idea how grateful I am that you never went anywhere. We’ve experienced this together, gone through unknowns together.” He paused, adjusting his stance to one knee, pulling a small box out of the pocket of his swim trunks. “Rachel, I want to experience everything we haven’t yet together. I never want anyone else by my side throughout life. No one could possibly make me as happy as you do.” He popped the box open. “Rachel Iris Gleason, will you do me the absolute and best honor a man could ever receive and be my wife?”

Tears spilled from her eyes as she vigorously shook her head yes. “Liam. Yes. Oh my god.”

“I love you.” he smiled, placing the ring, very large ring might I add, on her finger.

“I love you!” she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him long and deep.

“YES!” Emily shouted. “Finally!”

“Shut up!” Rachel looked at us. “You all knew didn’t you?!”

We all laughed. She was perfect, I hoped when Harry and I got engaged his speech was as heartfelt as Liam’s just was. They were honestly the cutest pair I had ever seen. I looked at Harry; he was already looking at me. I smiled, leaning over to kiss him.

“I bet you two are next.” Rachel smirked at us.

“No, not for a long while.” Harry answered for us.

“I’m so happy for you.” I hugged Rachel and Liam. “You guys deserve to be happy more than anyone I know.”

“Don’t get any ideas.” Louis laughed as Emily kissed him.

“Ew, I don’t want to marry you. Ever.” She made a disgusted face.

“Why do I believe that?” Louis rolled his eyes.

“Shut up I love you.” Emily kissed him again.

“I love you Niall.” Zayn said.

“Forever and always Zayn.” He said back.

“I could see that happening. It would get rid of Larry Stylinson. Ziall Malan. I like it, let’s start it.”

“Fans already have us together I bet.” Zayn shrugged. “I’d fuck you mate, you’re fit.”

“No more drugs or alcohol for that boy!” Liam said as we all burst out into laughter.

“I’m not bent though.” Zayn added for good measures.

“I wouldn’t want to spend my days off with anyone else.” Harry laughed, kissing my temple.

“Never a dull moment, that’s for sure.” Louis added.

We spent the rest of the night celebrating and bullshitting around. I loved these crazy people. Like Rachel was Liam’s forever, we all were each other’s forever. No matter what happened to the band we’d all be friends forever. And I couldn’t imagine a better future than that.

Notes

Feels. I have so many feels about this chapter and I don't know why. I'm just feeling some kind of way. I'm so happy for Rach and Liam but things are going the opposite direction for Harry and Spencer. But don't you worry kids, they are still together! :)
