(Ellie's POV)

We pulled up to the lake and Tyler got out, he came around and opened the door, I smiled softly, "What are we doing here, Tyler?"

He grinned, "You'll find out, now close your eyes."

I closed my eyes and he grabbed my hand, leading me somewhere.

"You better not peek!" He laughed.

"Okay... Now!" I opened my eyes and my face lit up with a huge smile.

All the guys were standing there, grinning like idiots.

"Surprise!" They all yelled.

I laughed and gave each of them hugs, "You guys came all the way from LA to see me?"

Evan squeezed me tight, "Of course! You're our favorite girl! And we knew you'd been depressed, so we had to come to cheer you up."

I giggled, "I love you guys."

Tyler pulled me into his arms and I smiled, "Thank you for this."

"Anytime, Ellie.  You mean the world to me and I'm sorry that I messed up.  But no more of that, I have cupcakes!" He kissed my forehead then pulled me over to a picnic table.

Lui screamed in his sqeaker voice, "Cupcakes!"

I laughed and jumped on his back, "I missed you guys so much!"

Evan came from behind me and shoved a cupcake in Craig's face, "You little twat!"  He yelled as he chased him towards the deck.

I heard yelling a huge splash, Evan came out of the water sputtering, "There was no need for shoving me into the water, Mini..."

"You're the one that cornered yourself on the deck," Marcel pointed out.

"Shut up!  No one asked for your input!"  He glared at Marcel and Craig.

The rest of the day was spent like that, yelling, laughing and picking on Evan.  These guys were such a blessing in my life, I don't know what I'd do without them.

Tyler, most of all.  Just a couple months without him and I shattered to pieces.

"Don't ever do that to me again, Tyler.  I couldn't go through that again.  You're stuck with me now," I smiled softly.

"I don't plan on ever getting rid of you again, baby.  I'm sorry," He held me close and I could hear his heart beating fast.

That right there was proof enough that he loved me.
