Through the Screen

34. Carnival

Just a tad bit of writers block so...... Also this is gonna be a long chapter :)

"Clifford!  Get your butt up!"  I yelled at Mikey and threw a pillow at him which caused him to jump up off of the couch like someone was attacking him.  I started laughing and suddenly I felt a pillow hit me right in the stomach which made me groan a bit but I grabbed another pillow and chucked it at him. 

Michael hid behind the couch before lifting up a white pillow and waving it like a flag.  "I surrender!  Please no more pillows,"  he said and I laughed before putting the pillow down and started making my way up the stairs to my room.  "Thank God."  I heard Mikey mumble before  stopped and turned back towards him from the top of the stairs.

"Don't worry, I  have way more pillows up here,"  I said with a smirk and I heard Mikey groan.  I went into my room and locked the door and quickly changed into black ripped shorts and a black Mayday Parade shirt before brushing my hair and putting it into a ponytail.  I slipped on my white converse and went back downstairs to see Mikey sleeping again.  "Michael Gordon Clifford I do not want to have to use another pillow!"  I said and he instantly woke up and had his hands up in defense.  

"You can be so scary sometimes Danni."  Michael said and laughed a little bit before I started to explain that we were going over to Abby's house.  One of my good friends Siérra had texted me and told me that there was a carnival not too far away and that we were all invited.  "Alright, but I'm stealing clothes from Ashton when we get there."

~~~~~~~~~~

"Abby! Ashton! You two better have clothes on or else I'm going to scream bloody murder!" I scream yelled into Abby's house as Michael and I walked in the door.  Abby and Ashton were together 24/7.  Inseperable.  It was kind of weird to me, but whatever. I heard Abby and Ashton's feet walking around on the second floor when they both came down with Ashton pulling a shirt over his head.  "First, ew.  Second, Michael needs some clothes that are not from the day after, Ash."

Michael hesitantly went up the stairs with Ashton and looked back at me with a horified expression after I mentioned "day after" clothes.  I rolled my eyes at him and then turned my attention back to Abby who was making coffee.  Well, someone is definitely out of energy.  After it was done she handed me a cup that was drowned in creamer, just the way I like it.  "So have fun?"  I asked Abby while I wiggled my eyebrows at her which just made her slap my arm.  

"I don't have to share my sex life with you just because you're my friend Danni!"  She said and then the boys came down the stairs, Mikey freshly dressed in black jeans and a gray sweater.  Ashton had also grabbed a beanie to tame his hair.  I seriously don't know how these boys survive in heat with jeans, like it's fucking Australia guys.  "Alright, I called Siérra and she said that we meet at the carnival around 8 ish.  That way it's dark and all the rides will be lit up.  Will make it perfect for some Instagram pictures."  Abby was always one to look out for perfect picture opportunities.  

I looked at my phone and saw it was only 1.  I texted Cal and Bella and told them the plan, which they almost immediately responded and said they were in.  "Hey guys, should I invite Luke?"  I hesitantly asked the group afraid of what their reactions would be.  Ashton's smile turned into a scowl, the same with Michael, but Abby's face was unreadable.  "I told him that I would give him a shot of us being friends.  I mean, this could be his chance to redeem himself at least a little bit."  Abby's expression slolwy turned into a tiny bit of a smile. 

"I mean, she's right guys.  He does deserve a chance to at least be given a chance to be friends."  Abby said and that was practically a slap in the face to Mikey and Ash.  She just shrugged and sipped some of her coffee.  I smiled at her and then looked back at the two guys.
