Chapter 20: Simone Ditches

A/N Hey everyone. Sorry this chapter was late, again. I've just been really stressed with relationship issues lately. It's become really complicated.

Anyway, here's chapter 20. Hope you enjoy!

Simone’s POV

Later on that day, I had moved to my bed, and we all ended up crashing there for the night. After listening to the radio interview and debating who the possibilities for Josh having a crush on were, we had gotten tired. But, nobody had wanted to leave, so we all crashed on the floor or on the bed and beanbag chairs to sleep until the morning.

Thinking on it, Louis could have meant that Josh was going to kill him for saying that he liked one of us, when he didn’t. But that thought didn’t occur to me until I woke up. When I had woken up, I had found that I had rolled off my bed onto the floor. I groaned, rubbing my head. “Ugh. Definitely not a graceful way to wake up,” I mumbled, getting up off the floor.

Looking around, I noticed the rest of the girls were missing. I was confused for half a second. Then, I thought about it again, and guessed that they had just gone downstairs or had gone home after they woke up.

I changed into my outfit for the day: a bright pink t-shirt and jean shorts. After brushing out my hair, I walked downstairs, where I found the girls sitting at the kitchen table. Tom, our adorable little schnauzer-poodle mix, was scampering around the tile floor. The girls giggled as he slipped on a rough rug in front of our back door and fell.

Lucy picked him up and said, “Oh, Tom, its okay puppy…” smiling as she kissed his little wet nose.

I smiled when I saw this. I listened to the background noise of the room and found myself listening to a playlist I recognized as one off of Lucy’s iPod. The music switched from Deer in the Headlights by Owl City to Magic by none other than One Direction.

'Cause you, you've got this spell on me,

I don't know what to believe.

Kiss you once now I can't leave,

'Cause everything you do is magic.

But everything you do is magic.

Hearing it play, I smiled and walked farther into the room. It really didn’t surprise me that it was playing, considering that it was one of her favorite songs. As soon as I walked in, I was hit with a sweet scent, probably breakfast. “Good morning, girls,” I greeted.

“Morning, Si,” Lucy answered. “How did you sleep?”

“I slept fine,” I answered with a shrug. Motioning to the bright blue iPod in the dock, I asked, “Your iPod, I’m guessing, Lu?”

“Yeah, how did you know?” Lucy asked, causing us all to laugh.

“Because I heard both of those artists playing on the same playlist, goof,” I said with an eye roll. “Anyway, what’s for breakfast?”

“Cinnamon rolls!” Courtney cheered. Now that sweet smell made sense.

“Great! I call the middle one!” I responded.

“I already called it,” Ana said.

“It’s my house, Ana-banana. I outrank you,” I retorted, trying my hardest to keep a straight face. Within two seconds, I failed and burst out laughing, a huge smile on my face. “I’m sorry, I had to do that,” I said in between laughs.

“Anyway, what should we do today?” Kelly asked, changing the subject with a smile.

“How about we go to the MOA? We haven’t been there this summer yet. Plus, I want to ride one of the rollercoasters there!” Lizzie exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air.
