I jump awake when I hear what sounds like pans clinking in the kitchen, getting blinded by the sun shining in through the floor to ceiling windows in Ashton's living room. I hear a groan and apologize to Adrian, only now realizing I'm on top of him and I elbowed him.
"Shh," I hear shushing and laughter in the kitchen, automatically knowing it's Divine and Ashton.
"It's too fucking early to be getting up." Adrian's voice is deep from sleep, my stomach fluttering while hearing it. His arms come around me, keeping me against him when I try getting up. "Stay."
"It's," I grab my phone off the coffee table, reading the time, "almost noon, Adrian."
"Yeah? And it's winter break. I usually sleep until like three over this break." I shake my head at him, still trying to get away but he doesn't let me.
"I have to pee, Adrian." I pretend I don't want him holding me, pushing his arms away weakly, when in reality I love this. But I actually do need to pee.
"Fine," he grumbles, letting me go.
I run down the hall, making it just in time. I wash my hands and splash my face with water, seeing my puffy eyes from my breakdown last night. I do feel completely normal now, just hungry.
"Adrian!" I scream when I feel his arms wrap around me, pulling me back on the couch when I try walking past the couch for my phone. "Really?"
"Yep." He has a stupid grin on his face.
"I told you I needed to stay in bed," I hear Noah's voice, mumbling to Danny as they walk down the steps. I see Noah massaging his temples.
"How's the hangover?" I ask, still struggling in Adrian's arms.
"Please shut up." Noah walks right back upstairs. I frown when Danny shrugs, walking to the kitchen and not at all seeming like himself, not even going after Noah.
What happened...
"We're making banana bread, if you guys want any," Divine says happily as she walks into the living room, completely dressed and ready for the day like she and Ashton have been up for hours.
"Oh, I definitely do." I push Adrian's arms off me, going to help them make it.
"Liv, no. Please," he practically fucking begs. "Stay."
"I'll bring you back some banana bread." I kiss him, which only leaves him wanting me more. I laugh when he complains, making my way to the kitchen.
"What's wrong, Danny?" I ask him quietly as he's getting something out of the fridge, making him jump.
"What? Nothing. Everything's fine." I can tell it's not as he rushes out of the kitchen, avoiding eye contact with all of us.
"What's going on there?" Divine asks, just as Ashton slides the pan into the oven.
