Life With The Vamps

The Break Down

I laugh and I hear him laugh to, underneath my bed. "thanks Tristan" I say again but this time I whisper it.

--the next morning--

I was having the most sweetest dream, until I was woken up by some people laughing, frustrated, I hastily got up and went to the bathroom to change and fix my bed head. For some reason it was really warm in the coach even if the air conditioner was on full blast. I put on my favourite t-shirt and black leggings because I knew e wouldn't be doing much today because we are going right through some desert with a road going through it.

I walk to the kitchen/dining room and see that Liz, Brad and James are already up and talking about something "good morning" Elizabeth says excitedly, bringing her knees up to her chest "anyone want cereal?" I ask getting out a bowl "I do" Liz says getting up to. "You look moody...what's up" she asks getting milk out of the fridge and pouring it into the two bowls "nothing, just tired. why are you so jumpy?" "well I absolutely love long car journeys and we are on one right now...with no stops." I roll my eyes, that's so random to be honest, we go and sit at the table and I take a mouthful "so Brad when are you going to take me on that date?" Elizabeth asks and I start choking on my food and James coughs from the sudden question. Brad's eyes go wide as he locks his phone putting his phone on the table slowly "uh.." he looks at James and I for help, we stay quiet enjoying the unfolding scene in front of us "um...well I guess that we can go somewhere in the next city...uh yeah that's what we'll do" he says eventually going extremely red. Elizabeth laughs and pats his shoulder "it's cool, if you didn't plan anything" she says getting up to wash the dishes, Brad sinks in his chair and blushes slightly, I unlock my phone and go on instagram and see that 'iamjamesmcvey' just posted a picture of Brad blushing with a comment: For the first time...speechless. I obviously liked it and I saw that there was also another picture of a window with a desert that seemed to stretch on for miles, the sky was blue and cloudless I liked it and for the first time I looked out the window to find that I was looking at the same picture but in real life "you should be a photographer" I tell James, nudging him a little, and he smiles but shakes his head "thanks but I really want to be a professional body builder" I scoff "but you'll become buff and your only 21" but he just shrugs it off "oh well" and with that the conversation finished. Garfield came up to James and jumped on James' lap making himself comfortable and curling up watching everything that's going on from there. "Wow you seemed to make friends with him... he hates me" I say pouting, James strokes the cat and says "all cats like me". Elizabeth comes, and strokes Garfield too, kneeling next to James' chair , "you do know I have a cat too" James states looking at her "really?" she says surprised "yeah check my instagram, I've posted so many pictures and videos of Milky" She does and the next thing you know she 'awwing' and saying how cute Milky was "If I ever get to go to your house and bring my cat they could become best friends". I smile and let Liz sit next to James and I go to sit next to Brad who was watching them have a 'cat conversation'.

I bring him out of his trance by asking "so what are you going to do on your 'so called date'?" he looks at me quickly and puts on those famous puppy dog eyes "help me!" he whispers I seriously have no idea". I think about it for a while and remember that this one time the girls and I were talking about our dream dates "My dream date is to just stay at home and cuddle, eat pizza cuddle more and watch a movie marathon. Nothing really that...romantic like going to a restaurant..." I remember Elizabeth's words echo in my head. I tell Brad and he nods "that's cool I'm not that kind of full-on-romantic type either".

Chiara walks in still in her onesie that she fell asleep in and looks like a proper full-on zombie with her ruffled her and sleepy eyes, "Chiara, go sort yourself out! Your scaring the cat!" Lizzie says laughing at how James is trying to control the pain when Garfield's claws dug into his legs and was staring at Chiara like she was a dog "BRUH! leave me alone" she shouts but goes to change anyway. Tristan walks in one of his favourite long t-shirts and knee length shorts "what's up" he asks sitting next to Brad "oh nothing much" and with that Chiara comes in dressed and washed. She puts bread into the toaster and stands there on her phone waiting for the toast to pop out, everyone goes silent and just stare at her. The sudden silence caches her attention "what?" she asks "um...good morning to you too" Elizabeth says quietly and we all burst out laughing apart from Chiara who just rolls her eyes, grabs the toast, quickly spreads it with butter and leaves to probably go and Skype her parents and twin sister.
