Bella POV
We were on our way back to Kayleigh’s from our little adventure out. I was in Kayleigh’s little bug in the back with Louis, on his lap, and she sat up front with Liam. Kayleigh had a bad habit of leaving things in her car. It wasn’t dirty; it just had a lot of stuff in it. For example, tonight, Louis and I are crammed in next to a laundry basket full of prom decorations that we had taken down. Prom was about a month and a half ago. A laundry basket wouldn’t be a big deal, if the back seat if this car wasn’t small as hell.
“That better be a roll of certs in your pocket.” I said as I felt something hard in Louis’ pants, on his leg. Liam snorted out a laugh and Louis said-
“Ha.ha.” and pulled out his phone, showing me what was on my leg. “You’re hilarious.”
“I know that.” I said, smiling and looking back at the road.
“I’m pretty funny too ya know.” He said looking at me again.
“Yeah, you really think you are, don’t you?” I said, not making eye contact.
“He knows he is.” Liam said, laughing. Louis, trying to be funny, pulls out a silver star and puts it on his head. I don’t laugh at first, because I just don’t think he’s funny. I wait for him to do something funny but he just sits there, with the star on his head, giving me a stupid look. A minute passed of him just sitting there looking straight at me. I kept looking straight ahead, ignoring him completely, but it was getting hard.
“Hi.” He said, crossing his eyes. I couldn’t take it anymore; I looked at him and began to say “hi” when I saw the funniest look on someone’s face I’ve ever seen. I busted out laughing, causing Liam to turn around and Kayleigh to look in the rear view mirror. I held the sides of my stomach, from laughing so hard and then it happened.
*SNORT* shit. I had started laughing so hard I was snorting. I rarely ever laugh this hard and barely anyone knew I snorted when I laughed. The whole problem is that I just can’t stop once I’ve started. My snorting made everyone else laugh and we couldn’t stop until we got back to the house and had to be quiet.
“Okay, guys, we have to shut up now, if my mom finds out we snuck out I’m so, so dead. It’s like 2:00” We walked very quickly and quietly down the little hill to the get at her back garden. She lifted the latch and went inside, we all followed her, until we got to the back door. She slid it open quietly and said, “okay, I think we-“
“Welcome home.” Kayleigh’s mom said, sitting on the couch, looking at us. “I’m going to need all of the boys to stay down here. I’m not going to make you go home, because I don’t want you driving at night, and I don’t think your parents would appreciate it very much. Girls, you can sleep in Kayleigh’s room.” She turned to Kayleigh. “I told you the rules.” She gave her a disappointed look and went up the stairs.
“Well that was sufficiently awkward.” I said, breaking the silence first. A couple of the boys and Lucy chuckled
“It’s not funny. Do you guys know what this means?” we looked at each other, confused.
“It’s okay Kayleigh, your mom’s cool. I mean it’s not like you broke the law or anything.” Lucy tried to console her
“No, it’s not okay. This week was supposed to be party at Liam and Sadie’s house week! Now do you honestly think she’ll let any of us three out of the house?”
“She’s right.” Liam said. The Foster’s and the Payne’s were practically family, Sadie and Liam would be punished just as badly as Kayleigh would be. Kayleigh showed the boys where all of the blankets and extra pillows were in the laundry room and we bid the boys good night.
“Come on girls.” Kayleigh said sadly. Cara was right; a sad Kayleigh really does look like a terrified little puppy. We followed her up the stairs and into her room.
“This sucks.” Cara whispered, joining Kayleigh and I in bed.
“Yeah, you have no idea.” Sadie said from the floor, next to Lucy. And we drifted off to sleep.
