1 At Mary's house

At Mary's house, the girls are walking at night behind the house in a field. The girls were cutting up and having fun. "Hey! Did y'all know it is a blood moon tomorrow?" asked Bailei. "What is a blood moon?" everyone asked. "A blood moon is where the moon is illuminated by sunlight filtered and refracted by the earth's atmosphere," Bailei explains. "I didn't know that," Mary says. "That is cool and a little creepy at the same time." Faith says. After a while, the girls head back to the house to get in the hot tub for a bit.

"Ding"

"Leslie who is texting you at this time of night?" Lucia asks

"OMG!" Leslie yells out and everyone almost jumps out of the hot tub.

"Leslie, what, who is it?" Lucia asks.

"Dylan just texted me to see if I was still up. He says he has something really important to ask me! What should I say?"

"Tell him you're still up," Mary says coming up to the ledge.

"Yeah, what's up?" Leslie texted back

"The guys and I were wondering if you and your friends wanted to hang out at Mary's scenes we're all already here."

"Wait, how did you know we were here? And where are y'all?"

"Look up."

"Hey" the guys say standing in front to the girls.

"Hey yourselfs."

"How did you know we were here?" Leslie asks.

"Mary's mom invited us and we were all at my house for the night so I asked my mom if we could come over and just stay the night. She said not till after dark so I texted Mrs. Dean. She said okay and she will fix us up in our room. And she said y'all were in the hot tub so we brought swimsuits are y'all okay with that?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's fine," Leslie says almost with a squeak.

"Follow me. I'll show y'all where to change and tell Mrs. Dean y'all are here." Bailei says.

"Okay, cutie!" Owen says with a wink. Bailei gets out of the hot tub and realizes none of the girls have a towel.

"I can't go in the house," Bailei says, turning around to look at the girls.

"Why?" Owen asks, then seeing the girls have no towels.

"Here, you can use mine." Owen says wrapping it around Bailei.

"Thanks," Bailei says blushing.

"No problem, anything for you," Owen says with a smile from ear to ear.

"Aw!" everyone says, looking at Bailei and Owen.

"Y'all would make a cute couple." Faith says.

"I know we would… I- I mean whatever just be quiet." Bailei says blushing. Bailei leads the guys inside and shows them where to change. After they get changed Bailei goes to find Mrs. Dean.

"Hey Mrs. Dean, the guys are here," Bailei says.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know, their room is the one next to you and the girls' room." Mrs. Dean says.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

"Tell, who, what?" Owen says in Bailei's ear making her slip on the water on the floor.

"Woh, are you okay?" he asks, holding her up in a hug.

"Yeah, thanks to you," she says, still holding him tight not wanting to let go. But she was the first to pull away because she thought someone would see them..

"Well, y'all room is right there, do not go in the room next to it if none of us say you can go in. Okay?"

"Yep! Got it. I'll let the guys know."

"Well here's your towel back. I'm just going to get mine out of the room." Bailei says blushing hard.

"ROAR"

"Bae was that your phone?" Owen asks.

"Yes, it was and don't call me bae until we tell the group."

"Ok. Babygirl." Owen whispers in Bailei's ear.

"Well when you and the guys are ready y'all come meet us in the hot tub," Bailei says, going to get her phone.

"Will do," Owen says going to his room.

"Why is Leslie texting me?" Bailei thinks to herself.

"Bailei, since you're in the house can you bring us our jackets and bring yours too. And not just any jacket, the guys' football jackets we have a plan."

So Bailei brings the jackets outside before the guys get out there.

"Okay put your mans' jacket on and sit on the leg of the hot tub," Leslie explained.

"Okay, but what's the point of this?" Lauren asked.

"Lauren do you want Christian to notice you?" asked Leslie

"Yes, but… nevermind their coming!" Lauren yelps

The guys walk outside and see the girls in their jackets.

"Mary, what are y'all up to?" Devin asked Mary so sweetly knowing that she can't lie to him.

"Well...uh...you see we…"

"Mary don't you dare!" Leslie says

"Mar you know you can tell me anything." Devin went on.

"OK!OK! I'll tell you! We were trying to tell y'all we like you." when she heard herself say it out loud she turned bright red.

"Y'all are doing what now?" asked Hayden.

Lucia got up from her spot, took Hayden by the hand, and said "Can we talk? PLEASE?" in his ear. Hayden leads her to the guys' room and closes the door behind them. They sat on the bed for a moment just staring at each other in silence.

"Soooo… Scenes when do you like me?" Hayden asks, breaking the silence.

"I… I don't know when I figured it out!" Lucia says breaking eye contact and turning red.

"Hey, it's okay. You do know that I like you right?" Hayden asked.

"Yeah, I know it is just I don't just like you I feel connected to you. Like, I don't know how to explain it but something is telling me you are mine. And when I try to start believing it I feel happy. But, then I see you talking and laughing with Jessica and I stop believing you are mine. So I tried to hide my feelings deep down because if you're happy, I'm happy." Lucia says behind the tears falling down her face. Hayden grabs her and pulls her to his chest. As she wraps her arms around his back and her legs around his waist he holds her pulling her on his lap and rocks her back and forth.

"Shhhhh. Hey, I am as much yours as you are mine and no one will ever change that. Do you hear me? I am yours and you are mine."

"Mhm" is the only thing that Lucia could manage to get out still crying.
