2. Ashton

I woke up the next morning to find Scarlett cuddled up next to me. She looked so adorable with her head laying on my stomach and her hair slightly over her face.

"Ashton," I hear a whisper from across the room.

"What?" I whisper back.

"Wake my girlfriend up," Luke says whispering back.

"No. She's sleeping," I respond, leaning up a little to get a better look at Luke.

"She's the only one not up. If you don't wake her up I will. I'm hungry and want to take her out for breakfast so I'm waiting to eat."

"Where's everyone else?" I ask ignoring what he said.

"Upstairs making pancakes for everyone," he says rubbing his eyes.

"Fine I'll wake her up. Go upstairs and I'll bring her up," I say adjusting my body under Scarlett.

"Alright."

Luke gathers his pillow and blanket and heads up the steps to be with the others.

"Scar," I whisper rubbing my hand over her face, "wake up."

"Luke?" She whines as she stretches her arms out and puts them on my chest.

"No," I laugh, "it's Ashton."

"Oh. You look cute when you're sleepy," she says sitting up rubbing her eyes.

"Thanks so do you," I giggle.

"Where is everyone?"

"Upstairs making pancakes."

"Without me?! I love making pancakes!!!!" She says jumping up and running up the steps. I follow closely behind her.

"Why are you guys making pancakes without me?!" She yells.

"I wanted to take you out for breakfast, babe," Luke says coming up behind her and giving her a hug from behind.

"That's sweet, but I just wanna stay here for right now. I wanna help make pancakes," she says pouting her lip out.

Luke turns her around so she is facing him now. "Alright. Anything for you, Scar." He says giving her a small peck on the cheek.

"Aww so cute. Now if you wanna help get your ass over here," Michael says throwing the spatula at Scarlett.

"Jesus Michael! I've known you for 18 years but it still surprises me how cranky you are in the morning!"

"Haha very funny," Michael says rolling his eyes and he walks out of the room.

"Well then," Luke says, "Scar are we going to the mall today like you planned?"

"Yeah sure that's fine. After Ash helps me with stat."

"Why didn't you ask me for help, babe?" Scar and Melissa both laugh.

"Are you serious? I already told you why yesterday in the car," Scar asks.

"Well I forget exactly what happened. It's early. Just tell me again."

"We had that huge argument," she says.

"Oh come on, Scarlett! That was just a silly argument!"

"Silly? I stayed at Ashtons for like 4 days! I think it would be better if he helps me. Ok?"

"Fine," Luke grumbles.

"I just don't get it though. Why are there so many numbers?" Scarlett asks as she flips through her stat book.
