Once In a Lifetime

Chapter 34

Julia's pov, August 18

"Jules. Wake up." Someone said, shaking me.

"Mmh?" I mumbled.

"Wake up." Someone said again.

I groaned and opened my eyes. Liam was standing next to my bed. I looked at the clock and saw that it was half past 5.

I groaned again and closed my eyes, turning around.

"Jules, come on." Liam chuckled.

"Li?" I sighed.

"Yeah, come on. Wake up." He said again.

I don't want to wake up. I'm tired.

"Wh-? Why- What?" I groaned.

"Put on some warm clothes and meet us outside. I'll give you some time to change." He said, stroking my head and walking out of my room.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Just a few seconds...

"Dory."

"Mmm?" I said, opening my eyes again. I did not fall asleep again.

The lamp on my nightstand was on. Mm weird.

"C'mere. I'll help you." Harry said.

"I don't want to wake up." I said, yawning.

"I made you some tea." Harry said, handing me a cup.

I sat up and took the cup from his hand. I took a sip and stared at him, unamused.

I put the cup down and Harry held a sweater up for me.

I put both arms and my head through as he helped me to put the sweater on. "Do you want other pants?" he asked once he was done with the sweater.

"Mhm." I said, slowly waking up. "It's on the ground. There. Somewhere." I waved to the ground.

He disappeared from my sight and came back with my sweatpants in his hands. "These?"

"Mhm."

"Do you want me to help? Or can you do it yourself." He asked.

"I can do it, thank you." I smiled.

He nodded and laid my pants on my bed, turned around and walked away.

I grabbed my shorts and pulled them down, so they pooled at my feet. I stepped out of them and grabbed my sweats. They're soft. I put them on and sat on my bed again. I took a couple of sips from my tea and walked to my drawer. I grabbed some socks and put them on.

I looked around, seeing if Yoda was here, but I didn't see him. I shrugged and grabbed my phone from my nightstand and put it in my pocket.

I opened my door and loosely put my shoes on without tying them. I opened my front door and there they were. They were all standing on the grass in front of my porch, in the dark, with smiles on their faces. The porch light was lit so that's why I could see that they were smiling.

Not really in the dark, I know. Let me wake up first, ok?

I was half awake and stood there in my doorway. I sort of smiled back. I closed my door behind me and walked to them. I put my hands in my sides, waiting for an explanation.

"C'mon." Liam said as he and the others walked away.

I looked at them, surprised, but because it was this early, I didn't show it. That is just too exhausting.

"I didn't." I sighed. "I didn't tie my shoes." I said as I rubbed my eyes. It took everything in me to say that. What is their plan?

Harry waked up to me. He squatted down and started tying my shoes. I yawned. He patted my leg and stood up. He then held out his hand for me to take.
