Waking The Demons (A Bullet For My Valentine Fic)

Chapter Sixteen

*Emz POV*

Sometimes I really hated the sun. It somehow managed to find the only gap in the curtain and shone directly on my face awakening me from my sleep. I was so comfortable I didn't want to move. The room was filled with the sounds of soft sleep breathing. I reached over to the bedside table and took my phone off of charge to check the time. 9Am. Ugh I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep so I went onto the internet to check my emails and the daily news.

"What time is it?" I jumped out of my skin causing me to drop my phone slap onto my face.

"Holy shit Matt, way to give someone a heart attack." I said in a hushed tone as to not wake the others. I had to giggle slightly as he sat up and his hair was all skew-whiff and fluffy. Then again mine couldn't be much better.

"Sorry, thought you saw I was awake."

"Nope. And it's just gone 9. Do you think it would wake the sleeping beauties if I put the kettle on? I would say I'd go get us a Starbucks but I can't be bothered to do anything this early" He chuckled nodding his head in agreement.

"Might do. Could always go to mine and Jay's room as we have some coffee in there."

"Sounds good to me." With that being said, Matt picked up his pillow and duvet and we both left to go to the room next door. "Jeeze it's cold in here!" I shivered; the room was icy cold due to no one being in it during the night. I ran over to the kettle switched it on to boil and jumped onto Matts bed rubbing my arms to warm them up. He sat down next to me and wrapped the duvet around the both of us.

"Better?"

"So much." I smiled. "Did you sleep ok on the floor last night by the way?" He leant his head forwards and back and it let out a crack.

"Apart from the sore neck, yeah not too bad. Sorry about barging in. We just thought it'd be a bit of fun."

"It doesn't matter. I'm sure myself would have scared ourselves back into your room at some point if you weren't in there with us." The kettle finished boiling so I forced myself to get out from under the warm duvet and went to make us both a coffee. As soon as I had made it they were placed on the bedside table and I was under the duvet again. "Seriously this room is like a freezer." I shivered again. Matt placed an arm around me and pulled me close to him so my head was resting on his shoulder. His body warmth helped me to warm up pretty quickly. Without warning he then pulled the duvet off us both before lying down. I looked at him with a frown but he simply opened his arms as an invite to lay with him which I did and then placed the duvet over us both. I snuggled into him, with my head on his chest, listening to his breathing, as he played with the ends of my hair. I was so relaxed.

"So this is where you both disappeared to!" For the second time that morning my heart thumped wildly as my eyes shot open. I was still lying in Matts embrace, the coffee now cold on the table. We must have both fallen to sleep, as I looked up to him and he also looked sleepy eyed. "How come you both left this morning to come in here huh." She was in an unusually good mood for it being a morning.

"Good Morning Neimo." I mumbled as I sat up and stretched. "We both were up before you both so decided to come and get a coffee. However I think we must just have fallen back to sleep." I turned to Matt who nodded in agreement and smiled softly at me.

"Hmm, I'll believe you. Anyway time to get up and dressed."

"Yeah come on guys, I need some grub, I'm starving." Jay said as he rummaged about in his bag looking for some clothes. I pulled away from Matt who still had his arm around my waist and was reluctant to let me go.

"Let's go get some proper coffee."

After managing to get a quick shower I left my hair to dry naturally which would mean it would go wavy, I applied some minimal make-up before dressing in a long black vest with a red and black shirt over the top, a pair of black jeans and my iron maiden cons. I didn't bother with a jacket as we weren't going to be in the cold for long. Once I was happy I made my way to see if Steph was ready. She was. Her hair was still damp in a high ponytail, she too had gone for minimal make up. She was wearing a walking dead vest t-shirt, with a jacket over the top, grey leggings and her cons.

"So I suppose I should ask you what you asked me last night, any smoochie smooch?"

"Haha, very funny. No, no smooching. As I said to you, we went in there to make coffee and somehow got too comfy and just fell asleep."

"You did look awful cosy in there" She smiled to me. "Come on, let's go see if the others are ready for food yet."

Both Matt and Jay were ready, however Padge and Moose hadn't risen from their sleep yet. "Are we going to have to wait for them to both shower?" Steph asked as we knocked on their room door. No answer. I tried the handle and the door opened, they hadn't bothered to lock it.

"We could always take the shower to them? How quick can you run?" I asked both Matt and Jay.

"Quick enough."

"Right, everyone grab a glass of water. Matt, Jay you wake Moose up as he is the furthest away. Steph and I will deal with Padge as he is closer and we will be less likely to get our butts kicked."

"How is that fair?" Jay complained. Steph just shushed him. We each went and got a glass of water from the room before taking our positions over each of the guys. Steph held her fingers up and did a count down, and when she got to zero we each tipped our glasses.

"Agh what the fuck!" Padge yelled as he jumped out of bed. Thankfully he slept in boxer shorts otherwise we would have gone blind. Steph and I quickly ran for it while having a giggle fit. We heard both Padge and Moose shouting and swearing. Jay and Matt had soon caught up with us. We headed downstairs and took refuge in my car for safety.

20 minutes later a less than impressed Moose and Padge climbed into the car next to us. Padge gave us evil eyed stairs making us laugh some more. We decided on a little café that was a little way out of town that we had spotted when we went to pizza hut the day before. As soon as we got there we each ordered a coffee and it was heavenly. The guys all ordered full fry up breakfasts while me and Steph opted from maple syrup pancakes with some fruit. Whilst eating we decided that, as we had a good few hours to kill, we would go for a drive to a nearby town that had a bowling alley so we could hang out for the day.
