My Brothers Best Friend

25

*Piper*

The doorbell rang and I jumped up from the sofa. I straightened my clothes and walked to the door.

"Hey girl." Said Liam as he placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Hey! Run on up to the room, the TV is already on." I said back as I gave Eva a hug. Peyton came into the hallway on her crutches. Wearily, she blew a tuft of hair that went in front of her eyes out of her face.

"Hey Peyton how are you?"

"Better, but I'm still not allowed to lean on my leg." She replied. I moved a little to the side so Peyton could get through better. I closed the door behind her and followed her into the room.

"You can lie here on this couch. That way your leg will get some rest." I said. I patted up a pillow and laid it out. Peyton sat down quietly on the couch and placed the pillow under her ankle. Eva and Liam stowed bags of chips and chocolate bars on the table. I quickly ran to the kitchen to get some bottles of soda from the fridge.

"Grab whatever you want, just make yourself at home." I said to Eva and Liam. "Peyton, if you need anything, just let me know." Peyton nodded and I poured her a glass of cassis.

"Which movie are we going to watch first?" Eva asked as she pulled out some movies from her bag. "I also brought my laptop in case you guys want to watch other movies." She added.

"I vote for Titanic." Said Liam.

"No." Replied Eva shortly.

"Why not! Leonardo DiCaprio is hot!"

"That movie is three hours long and only the end is fun!" She had a point there. After a long discussion about 'how hot Leonardo DiCaprio is', we chose the film 22 Jump Street with Channing Tatum. The film had only just started when Luca and Adam walked into the room. They had just been swimming for a long time and the water was dripping off them on all sides.

"Guys you're wetting the floor." I said as I wolfed down some chips.

"So you guys are Piper's friends?" Luca asked as he stood in front of the TV. I quickly took the remote and put the movie on pause. Peyton and Eva nodded while Liam of course immediately started flirting.

"Yeah, and who are you handsome?" I shot out laughing my drink almost came out through my nose. I coughed and laughed at the same time I sounded a bit like a dying seal.

"Liam, this is my boyfriend Luca." Liam slowly turned red and focused on the bag of chips in his hand. Adam, meanwhile, was indulging in the bags of chips that were still on the table.

"Adam, leave some for us too." Adam looked up with his mouth full of chips.

"I think I'll stay here for a while." He said with his mouth full. He walked over to the sofa where Peyton was sitting and almost sat on her leg.

"Stop!" I shouted and Peyton gasped. Adam was just hanging over Peyton's foot. He immediately apologised. He sat down on the armchair and looked at Peyton. His face was very strange, it seemed as if he was thinking deeply. He kept staring at her. When he saw that I was looking, he seemed to be caught. I raised an eyebrow and he smiled at me.

"What are we going to eat tonight?" Luca asked as he dried his hair.

"Pizza!" Shouted Adam.

"Adam, you can't eat pizza every day." Sighing Luca said.

"Actually, it's not such a bad idea." Said I. Adam cheered and Liam smiled at him. "We can go make our own pizza." I suggested Everyone quickly agreed.
