In A Matter Of Seconds (o2l)

Chapter 46

LAINA'S POV

I woke up and was immensely confused about where I was. There was a boy sleeping next to me and I think I was in his bed. He was attractive, very attractive. Reluctantly, I got up and looked at the time, 7am. I sighed and walked out of the room and into mine. Button was awake and running around the room.

"Hey baby." I said to Button. I picked her up and placed her in front of the food bowl which had wet food for her to eat. When she had finished I carried her downstairs, everyone else was down there except for the one I had slept with. (And I know you're all thinking of that in a dirty way you perves.)

"Hey guys." I said. I got a few mumbles in response and then a very tall and muscular boy in a tank top ran up to me.

"Helllllloooooo Ms. Laina! I'm Ricky P Dillon, but you can call me Queen of Sass." he said making a duck face.

"Hey Rickrad." I said and then laughed at myself. Everyone in the room looked at me with wide eyes. "What?" I said looking around at there faces.

"Do you remember me?" Ricky asked.

"Oh did I used to call you that?" I asked shyly and rubbed my right arm with my left. I felt really awkward since I could tell that they were hoping my memory would pop back, but I knew something would have to trigger it.

"Yeah you did! If my sass can make you remember that, then you will remember me in no time." He said and I pulled him into a hug. He picked me up and spun me around.

"Alright, well get on a bathing suit and we will go tan." He said and I followed him up the first flight of stairs, he went to his room and I went up another flight of stairs to my room.

As I passed the other boys room a pair of arms reached out and grabbed me. "Laina." He said, placing hands on either side of my body so I couldn't leave. His dark brown eyes boar into mine. He was searching for something in my eyes, in my soul. I started feeling awkward as we just stood in the hallway and he stared at me.

"Hi..." I said curiously, I pushed his arm and tried to walk away without success. My breathing got heavy as he brought his lips dangerously close to my ear. His breath gave me goosebumps and I'm sure if he touched me I would melt into him.

"You said my name last night. Do you remember me?" He whispered into my ear. I felt weak with his words. This boy had an effect on me I couldn't explain. I wanted to attack him with kisses, but also with hate and curse words.

"I'm sorry, I don't even remember saying your name... and I'm sorry that I came into your room last night but I have to go hang out with Ricky." I said and pushed his arm and walked out of his room and headed into mine. I close the door and keep my back against it, catching my breath and turning a dark shade of red.

After a few minutes of heavy breathing, I got changed into a black and white bathing suit and walked downstairs.

After a few hours of tanning and talking with Ricky, fuzzy memories of him came back into view. Ricky and I had filmed too many videos together, all of them challenges. I couldn't help but laugh when Ricky had shown me all of our videos.

"And Lai," Ricky said looking at me seriously, "I promise we won't lose you again. We'll all fight for you. We love you." He said hugging me.

Ricky was the older brother I had always wanted, unlike my brothers, Ricky expressed his feelings and he knew when I was sad and he knew how to cheer me up.

It was about 4pm when I told Ricky I was gonna shower and have some alone time. When I got in the shower I washed my hair with my strawberry and creme conditioner and stepped out.

I sat in my room on my phone, looking at my Instagram and Twitter, checking out old pictures and trying to remember the past 9 months.

I remembered some things and found out that I was going to TeenHoot and hosting for O2L. Through my videos I learned some stuff about the past few months. I sighed and looked up at my ceiling. I put a pillow over my head and screamed. I sighed again and pulled the pillow off my head to reveal all 6 boys standing above my bed.

"Why'd you scream buttercup?" Connor said holding Button in his arms.

"Really stressed out. Remembering so much my brains exploding." I said chuckling and putting my hands over my eyes.

"Hey guys can you leave me and Laina?" Sam said and the boys hesitantly left my room. Sam crawled into bed next to me and wrapped his arms delicately around my waist. Every time he touched me it was delicate, like he was afraid he would break me. I hated feeling fragile.

"Sam this is all so shitty." I said in a hushed voice. He shushed me and stroked my hair. In his arms I started to get more relaxed, his steady breathing steadied my breath. His consistent heart beat reassuring me that everything would be okay.

"Laina, I just want you to know that when this is all over and you remember why we broke up and you don't want to be with me anymore, we are still going to be there for each other." Sam said and kissed me passionately, like it was the last time it would ever happen. And with this kiss, memories of Sam and I flowed into my head. My head absorbed it and welcomed every sad memory, I also remembered memories of the other boys, none of which revealed their names. When Sam pulled away I squealed and whispered, "I REMEMBER A LOT SAMMY!" I jumped out of bed and ran as best I could to Connor, I told him some memories I had with him, same with Ricky. I steered clear of the other boys, mainly because I literally didn't know them yet.

When I had finished screeching about my new found knowledge, my brain was throbbing. I laid down in my bed and instantly passed out.
