At Least A Million More

Chapter 7

(Noah) 

I slowly opened my eyes and expected to see someone, but didn't. I sat up and looked back down at Oliver. He looks so sweet and innocent while he's sleeping. But the the ass has to ruin it by waking up. All the time. I crawl out of bed, trying not to wake him up, and walk into the living room. Delsin and Dylan and sleepin on the couch. Why is everyone still sleeping? 

"Noah." Cassie whispers as I walk into the kitchen. 

"Yeah?"  "What are you doing up?"

"Why? What time is it?" I ask, sitting in a chair by the island. Almost falling out. She giggles softly and rolls her eyes. 

"Five." 

"In the morning?!" 

"Yeah, so what are you doing up?" Cassie asks, taking a bite of a carrot. 

"I should be asking you the same thing!" I laugh. 

"I'm an insomniac, remember?"Cassie asks, rolling her eyes. Yeah, Cassie's an insomniac, but she takes pills that help her. So she's not too crazy. 

"Why didn't you take your pills?" 

"I forgot them! They're at my house and I didn't go home because of that incident with those gangs." Cassie says, shivering at the thought of almost getting killed. 

"So you've been up all night?"

  "Pretty much. I attempted to go to sleep but I just couldn't. It's really hard."  "That's what she said." I laugh. Cassie just rolls her eyes and throws a carrot at me. "Hey, did I really go all, hyper, on Oliver?" 

"Yeah. I had to tackle you to get you to take your pills." 

"But who gave me the candy?" 

"I did." She said quietly. I fake glare at her and bite the carrot she threw at me. "I thought it would be fun! You know, watching Oliver try to calm you down. But all he did was play along! You sprayed him with water and he really started playing! Throwing and spraying you with water." Cassie pouts. 

"Well sorry if you didn't get the desired response to my hyperness." I say, sticking my tongue out at her. 

"Can I take your car so I can go to my house and get an extra change of clothes?" Cassie asks, giving me her adorable puppy eyes. Her eyes are the color of butterscotch, but they're wide and make her look beautiful and sorta like Bambi. Who does she look like to me? 

"Yeah, go ahead. I don't know where the keys are though." I say, shrugging my shoulders. 

"They're right here! I woke Trent up earlier, he just went back to sleep after giving me the keys." Cassie says, quietly walking out the front door. I chuckle and look at Dylan and Delsin. Still sleeping. 

"What are you doing awake this early on a Sunday?" Oliver asks softly, wrapping his arms around my waist. I lean back and rest against him. 

"I have no clue. I just woke up and didn't want to fall back asleep." I say, trying not to wake up the sleeping boys. 

"You know what we should do today?" Oliver asks. 

"What's that?"

  "We should go to the beach. All of us." 

"You actually want to be seen in public? With them?" I ask, smirking. 

"I need friends." Oliver laughs in my ear. "And I tolerate yours more than anyone I've met."

  "Well ok, we should start getting ready now of we want a good spot." I say, turning around to look at Oliver. 

"Ok, you wake these ones up, I've got Kenny and Trent." Oliver says, kissing me softly and running up the stairs to Trent's room. I walk over to the couch and stand at the end. I smile evilly, take a few steps back and start running forward. I jump up and land on the sleeping figures.
