The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 18: SLEEPOVER

§SLEEPOVER§

My eyes widen and I stand quickly ready to run away, "We need to talk, now just cooperate and nothing will happen."

I start to back away slowly, scared to break eye contact, "N-no there is nothing to talk about, especially with you."

"I'm not going to hurt you..." He steps closer.

"I swear if you take one step closer to me I will scream bloody murder!"

"You wouldn't do that." He challenges.

"AHHHHH HEEL-" His hand slaps over my mouth and I bite it.

"Damn!" He grasps his hand and whimpers a little. I take that opportunity to grab my bags and run. He catches up with me and grabs my arm. Tightly. "Just please listen."

I nod meekly and he puts his arm on my shoulder, "Put your arm around me quickly and laugh as if I just told a joke." He whispers.

I laugh a half hearted laugh and smile fakely while he buries his head in my hair and some officers walk by us, "So you weren't let out early?"

"No. But I need my Jessi back."

"She doesn't want you, she is happy now and I don't need you to waltz in and ruin it."

"You think Ricky is her happiness? He's not who everyone thinks he is."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I know th-"

"Get away from Maggie right now or I swear to god I will castrate you!"

I turn around to see Luke and Ashton standing in the middle of the walkway, "Woah dude it's not what it looks li-"

Luke tackles him to the ground before he can finish, "Hey are you okay? Did he hurt you? I swear if he hurt you..."

"No it's fine, I'm fine," I pull my sleeve down over a visible hand print of Kai's hand on my arm, "What are you doing here?"

"Shopping, but I saw you with him and knew it wasn't by choice..."

I hug him as Jessi walks out of the store, "What is going on here?" She asks looking at the two boys wrestling on the floor.

"Luke! Get up! Stop it! You're better than this!" I pull Luke off a bloody Kai and push him over to Jessi and Ashton. I then grab Kai's face to look at the damages, "Your lucky he didn't break your nose. Its just a busted lip and a few cuts from his rings."

"You didn't give me enough time to break his nose." Luke grumbles.

I whisper to Kai making sure no one else could hear, "We WILL talk later." I then slip my phone number in his hand and stand up to walk over to my group.

Kai wipes the blood from his face and stumbles away.

"So is anyone going to tell me what was going on? Or am I just going to be left clueless?" Jessi asks snapping her fingers in our faces.

"He wanted to talk to me and my hero, as always, came to my rescue."

"What did he want to talk to you about?"

"Uhm, nothing, he just wanted to tell me that he wants his Jessi back."

"No way in hell."

~*~

After coming back from the mall, Jessi decided she wanted to spend the night, so we got the necessities for a slumber party.

"We need ice cream, movies, candy, soda..."

I grab all the stuff as Jessi lists them off. We go to the checkout line and run into....

Derek, Sam, Seth, Cameron, Saith, Luke, and Ashton. Seriously? What are the odds?!

"Hey guys!" They all turn our way and some wave, others smile, "What are y'all doing here?"

"Cameron and Saith are having a challenge competition. We have the chubby bunny, saltine, banana and sprite, cinnamon, smoothie, and salt and ice."

"Idiots. I seriously recommend you take out the cinnamon and salt and ice challenges."

"Why?"

"Salt and ice is dangerous and can cause frostbite, and cinnamon is awful."

"You've done the cinnamon challenge?" Derek scoffs in disbelief.

"Yep, I've got the video to prove it. Jessi and I were stupid enough to do it. I threw up, it tasted awful, the taste lingered in your mouth, it caused a huge mess, and it went through my nose." I shiver as I recall the memory.

"Yep I defiantly gotta try this now, count me in on the competition."

I roll my eyes at Luke, "Fine, but when you get sick and puke, don't come crawling to me."

The boys laugh and high five while Jessi and I get checked out.

"What are you guys doing?" Derek asks looking at our bags of junk, "Having a sleepover?" He puts his voice in a falsetto.

"As a matter of fact, we are. Deal with it."

"Oohhh.... Can we come?" The twins ask in sinc and I look around at the group to see all the faces hopeful.

I sigh, "I guess we need more food..."

The guys all cheer and we go back into the aisles to get more stuff. After checking out, we all drive back to my house and got ready for some movies. I pop popcorn, put in a movie (Fast and Furious 1), and we all get situated on the couches. Saith and Cameron are next to each other on the love seat, Ashton is on the longer, built-in recliner part of the couch with me in between his legs, Derek, Seth, and Sam are in the seats of the rest of the couch, Jessi is in the recliner, and Luke is on the floor.

After a marathon of the Fast and Furious movies, we decided to do the challenges. It was hilarious Cameron, Saith, Luke, and Derek all did the cinnamon challenge. Derek was able to complete the challenge with no gagging, just a lot of coughing and water. Apparently he doesn't have a gag reflex. Cameron on other hand, didn't do so well. As soon as he put the cinnamon in his mouth, he coughed it out and almost puked a few times before he got to the sink. Saith chewed for a while, but the taste got to him and he ended up spitting it in the sink as well. Luke laughed and it went through is nose, after that he freaked and ran around the room screaming, "IT BURNS IT BURNS! THERE IS A FIRE IN MY NOSE! CALL THE FD! CALL THE POLICE! CALL MY MOM! No scratch that last one, JUST CALL SOMEONE TO HELP ME AND MY BURNING FLESH!"

The other challenges were fun, but after a while, we got tired of them and decided to watch some scary movies. BAD idea. Jessi knows better than anyone how big my imagination is, if I see or hear about pain, I feel it. I can't stand scary or creepy things, but I got out voted. After flinching every time I saw blood, weapons, or dark creepy places with bad music playing, everyone gave up on trying to make me watch and decided to go to sleep.

I lay in Ashton's arms on his chest, feeling the rhythmic pattern of his heart beat and breathing. Soon enough I drift off to sleep, smiling.

~*~ SO KAI WANTED TO TALK ABOUT JESSI'S BF HUH?!

So I wrote most of this during the day, but I procrastinated and didn't finish. I started writing again in bed, but I fell asleep. I woke up and freaked thinking that my readers would kill me if I didn't post. So here you are. I am missing out on precious, precious sleep for you guys, you better appreciate it. It kinda sucks (like always) but it's a chapter, so don't complain.
