Kat's pov:

When we got home all our parents were there. After greeting everyone, we all began to set up. The parents went inside. The younger and older siblings went to the game rooms and us girls went outside. I was surprised that I hadn't seen Barbie, Ken, and prince yet. I went to the back and called for them. When they heard my voice they immediately came. "Hey boys and girl. How've you been. I missed you" I cooed as I scratched them. They licked my face and tackled me. I got up and they chased after me. Prince was behind Barbie and Ken but kept trying to catch up. I ran toward where everything was being set but was tackled down by my dogs. I was laughing and kept turning my face as they attempted to lick it. Prince was on my stomach and Barbie and Ken at either side. "Kat!" I looked up when I heard my name and was shocked to see Ant there.

No way. I immediately got up and bolted at full speed toward him. I heard my dogs running with me. When I got to him I jumped and hugged him, burying my head in his neck. "I missed you so much." I whispered to him, my voice sounding hoarse as my eyes were already tearing up. "I missed you too. We need to talk, but first I have to say hi to everyone." I nodded my head and pulled him inside.

"Mom!" I yelled. "We're in here" I heard her call back from the kitchen. "Mark! I didn't know you were coming. It's good to see you." My mom greeted him and gave him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. My dad smiled widely, giving him one of those manly hugs. Lolly, Core, and Sky's parents also greeted him. Speaking of which.."Where are the girls?" I asked not seeing them around since we got here. "They were outside with your guests" my dad said getting a coke from the refrigerator. I smiled and made my way back to the screen door.

I opened it and stuck my head out. I looked around, confused, until I spotted everyone in the pool staring at me. I smiled widely and stuck my head back inside. Ant was looking at the large picture of us, from my quinceañera, mounted on the wall. I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside toward the pool where my best friends were along with One Direction and little mix.

I smiled widely at everyone. "Hey guys I didn't see you arrive. How long have you been here?" Liam cleared his throat "We got here a about 10 minutes ago. Just in time to see you get tackled by your dogs." He said with a smile and everyone else laughed along with him. I blushed but giggled anyway.

I noticed everyone's, minus the rest of life-line, eyes focused behind me. Oh right!

"Guys, I'd like you all to meet Marco. Ant, meet everyone. This is Zayn, Liam, Louis, Niall, Harry, Perrie, Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne, Dani, and Eleanor." I motioned to every person respectively and took a big breath after. "It's nice meeting you all, I've heard a lot about well, all of you from the girls." Ant said smirking. My face just turned about 10 shades redder along with Core, Sky, and Lolly's. I punched Ant's arm. He just laughed along with our guests in return.

Core, Sky, and Lolly got out of the pool and gave Ant a hug then they each punched him as well for embarrassing us.

"So Mark, how does it feel, you're getting your degree next semester!" Sky asked as everyone else left the pool. "Your in Uni?" Jesy asked as she picked the towel up from the chair. "Yeah, I graduate in June."

"What are you studying?" Everyone was standing in a circle by now.

"I am getting a degree in the Dramatic Arts." I smiled at how proud he was of himself. I myself am very proud of him. Whenever people hear what he's majoring in they brush it off as if it was something unimportant, but he doesn't let that bother him.

"That's really cool! Louis was planning to major in the Dramatic Arts as well before One Direction." Eleanor announced clapping her hands. Ant smiled widely and looked at the girls and I with a glint in his eye as he responded. "Oh believe me, I've heard all about one direction." We all blushed furiously while the one direction boys wore a confused smile.

"Well I'm going to help the adults finish in the kitchen, catch up with them a bit." Ant kissed the top of my head and squeezed my shoulder before walking back toward the house.

"How long is he here for?" Sky looked over at me. I shrugged my shoulders not really sure. I smiled at everyone then went up to them to greet them one by one giving them a hug and kiss on the cheek. When I got to Harry he was a little tense and avoided eye contact with me. Everyone went back to the pool and I began to take my clothes off leaving me in my bathing suit.
