"Go for it.", I said, kind of scared about what he was about to tell me.

"Uhhh, umm, I just wanted to tell you that I was the one who opened the door on you and Jordan...", he said tensely.

"Oh. That's it?", I asked.

"Yep...", he mumbled.

"I laughed and said, "Okay. So are you sad to go back to Chicago?", I asked, changing the subject.

"Yea. I'm gonna miss you guys.", he said.

"Yeah. It sucks that my boyfriend lives in Seattle, my best friend lives in Canada, and I live in LA.", I said, letting a single tear slip from my eye.

"Hey, don't cry.", he said, wiping my cheek.

"And by the way, your best friend lives in Chicago, not Canada.", he said, smiling.

I laughed through my tears. Liam always knows how to cheer you up. He was so happy all the time, he just makes a room brighter and more cheery. He was such an awesome friend.

"Thank you, Liam. For not letting me drown in my own pathetic tears.", I said.

He laughed and answered, "No, because if you drowned I wouldn't have anybody to help me pick on Zach.", he said, laughing.

"True, true. I guess we're always gonna have to stick together, huh?", I asked.

"Yea, totally!", he said enthusiastically.

"Promise?", I said, holding out my pinky finger.

"Promise.", he said, interlocking our pinkies together. Jordan walked in and raised his eyebrows.

"What's going on here?", he said a bit angrily.

"Chill, Jordan, we were just pinky promising.", I said, walking over to him and hugging him.

"Okay, then."

Everybody else woke up and came downstairs so we gathered in the living room.

"So, what're we doing today?", Julio asked, eating a bowl of cereal.

"I was thinking we could do stuff around Seattle and then go to the Pax party tonight.", Zach suggested.

"Sounds good. Will Jordan be our little tour guide around the city?", Will asked.

"No.", he simply answered.

"Aw, why not?", I asked, giving him a pouty face.

"Fine. But I don't even know my way around all that well.", he groaned.

"Oh, well, at least we'll all get lost together!", Devon said.

We got ready and were all out the door by 10:30 am. We didn't bother taking the rentals and just walked around. We went to the Space Needle, and I was one of the few people who weren't freaking out about the height.

"What's wrong with you? How are you not scared?", Dul asked me.

"I'm just not. I don't pay attention to high up we are, I just look out and admire the view.

After that, we started to head back to the house so we could get ready for the party tonight. I'd never been to a real party, but I knew that they were scary. This one was a bit more of a formal party, so I slipped on a lacy lavender dress with a pair of white flats. I curled my hair and pinned the sides back. I walked downstairs to see all the guys standing there, waiting for all the girls.
