Natalie woke up in an empty bed. She moved her head slightly and it started to throb. She could hear the people moving around upstairs. She got up and walked down the hall to the bathroom, brushed her teeth and started the shower. She washed her body and her hair. She got out and wrapped a towel around herself. She walked to her room and closed the door too hard and the sound hurt her head.
She sat on the bed and combed her hair out, tying it sloppily into a bun. She got dressed in sweatpants and one of Jason's shirts and put on her glasses opposed to her contacts. She walked up the stairs and went straight to the kitchen, avoiding most of the sound which was coming from the living room.
"Where you going?" Freddie asked Jason as he got off the couch and headed to this kitchen.
"Natalie just woke up, I'm going to go check on her."
"You're just as whipped as Carter was." Freddie chuckled. It was silence as everyone looked at Freddie.
"You're an idiot." Nicole said, shaking her head at Freddie.
"My bad." Freddie mumbled looking down.
"It's cool." Carter shrugged as if he was bothered but everyone knew it did.
"Plans for today?" Penelope asked as she cuddled closer to Carter.
"We can go out to the beach and go to some of the local shops once everyone gets dressed and then out for lunch." Sam said. "I'm sure no one wants to go clubbing after last night."
"Okay, when are we leaving?" Aiden asked.
"After breakfast." Luke said. "I'm starving."
"We cooked yesterday." Kat said.
"I guess it's our turn." Nick said, standing up, stretching. "We'll eat then get dressed to go."
"Sounds good." Luke said, standing up. "As long as I'm eating, I don't care."
"Hey, sleepyhead. Someone got a little carried away last night," Jason said, walking into the kitchen and wrapping his arms around Natalie from behind.
"Maybe," Natalie said and pulled an apple out of the fridge, biting into it. She walked over to the table and sat as if Jason wasn't even there. Jason frowned and watched her.
"I get the attitude, just because you drank too much," Jason mumbled. The boys came in just as Natalie was about to argue back at Jason.
"Look who's up," Freddie laughed and patted Natalie on her shoulder, "you look nice."
"Shut up," Natalie said and covered her face with her hands.
"Is she okay?" Nick asked, looking at Natalie.
"Come on, Nat." Nicole said, as she walked into the kitchen and helped Natalie stand up.
"What should we make?" Freddie asked, looking inside the cabinets.
"We'll keep it simple; bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage." Carter said, as he started pulling out ingredients from the refrigerator.
"And fruit," Jason said. "Natalie likes fruit."
"Is that all she's eating?" Luke joked. "I can't be the only one who's noticed Natalie's gotten a little thick."
"She can be herself around me." Jason said, pulling out the needed pots and pans.
"And she couldn't around me?" Carter snapped. He had tried to ignore Jason side comments but now he was just fed up.
"Obviously not." Jason snickered. "She was still cutting, asshole."
