How It Ends {l.h}

Chapter 12

Grace's POV
I woke up and see Anna and Claire in their clothes from the night/morning before. I already had my phone set to the London times so I checked my phone and saw it was 10am. I was pretty excited.

I heard groans from beside me and Anna and Claire woke up at the same time.

"Hello guys." I whispered with a small laugh.

"Morning." They say at the same time.

"Well let's get changed and go surprise the boys." Claire whispers and so we all change into a hoodie and some jeans. We all put on some light make up from mine since they had their stuff in their room and they only brought the spare clothes to mine.

I texted Ashton to see what the boys are doing, well first, if he was even up. He was though, he was.

"Morning! I'm awake and in the lounge. How do you want to surprise the boys?" He texted.

So I turned to the girls and asked, "How do you want to surprise the boys?" I smirk.

"Ohhhhhh, that's hard." Anna then plops back down on the bed and thinks.

"Can we do those really casual surprise? I mean we could all go down quietly just casually talk with Ashton and when they all come down we'll act as if we were here from before." Claire suggested.

"I mean not anything so cliche or dashing." Anna shrugged.

"Well we can use Claire's idea. It'll be so hilarious seeing the boys' confused faces." I laugh.

And so I text Ashton about the plan. Well first I did need to ask if the other boys were awake, which I guessed no because I knew all the boys so much and they would sleep until noon. They weren't, just as I predicted.

"Well, let's go!" I exclaim and we all walk past the boys' room, downstairs to see Ashton eating cereal.

"Hey!" He smiled.

"Hey!" We all say back, not too loud.

We all sit down on the counter and eat the cereal we had, except for Claire who was eating apples. Pregnant people sometimes only eat this one food in a period of time, and for Claire, it was apples and some other fruit. She could not eat anything else.

"This place is really big yo-" Anna starts but cut off by a door opening and closing. We all get excited and we couldn't stop our smiling but we went as casual as we could. I ate my cereal and talked to Claire how the sky was blue. Anna was talking with Ashton about how stars were really sparkly.

We heard footsteps coming down. We all couldn't see the stairs since we were on the counter, looking at the opposite direction.

"Hey Ashton I heard so- WHAT?" We all hear a familiar voice, it was Michael.

We all look back and greet with casual hey and hi.

He looked paralyzed. He was frozen, just in front of the stairs and he was speechless.

"A----" He breathed out.

We all stayed casual, we were all about to burst into laughter, just really close, until we hear another door open and then close. We all hold ourselves as we hear footsteps coming.

"Morni- HUH?" Calum then almost trips on one of the stairs but manage to get up again.

"Who are you?" He asks, really suspiciously.

Now, we could not keep our poker face and be all casual. We bursted into a huge laugh and tears started streaming down on all our faces.

"Wha-what's funny?" Michael asks. They both looked confused like lost puppies, it was cute but too funny.
