From Knives to Pens - Chapter 41

A/N: We're one chapter away from the end! Posting my writing on here has been an amazing experience and I thank all of you for that! All your reads, votes and comments make my day! I've decided I'll post a video link with the last chapter as I haven't done that all through the story. I'm going to begin to write the sequel today! I'm really excited! It should be up in about a weeks time after I've posted the last chapter of this story. As always please comment your thoughts and notify me of any mistakes I have made. Thanks! Ciara x

P.S Check out my friend's(@VampireKangaroo) new story called The Diary of Graham Nosepicker. It's awesome and she would really appreciate the support. :)

Chapter 41 Andy’s POV:

I wake up, feeling warm and content. A memory of mine and Willow’s departing kiss sends a rush of warmth through me. I pull the blanket tighter around me as I lie on the carpeted floor of Willow’s room. The room smells like her and I inhale deeply. Her scent is sweet and so familiar and welcome to me.

A loud knock on the door makes me groan. “Andy get up!” Jinxx yells through the door.

“Five minutes!” I yell back, wanting to stay in the comfort of Willow’s bedroom for a while longer.

The door opens and reveals a laughing Jinxx. I pull the covers over my head and groan. “Out.” Jinxx says, grabbing my arm and pulling me up.

I make myself as heavy as possible when Jinxx tries to drag me from the room. Jinxx manages to get my deadweight (still covered in the blanket) as far as the doorway before he gives up and lets go of me. I fly backwards with a grunt.

“Meanie.” I groan, kicking out my leg which collides with Jinxx’s shin. He laughs and pushes me back down when I start to rise from lying on the floor.

“If you got up I wouldn’t have had to pull you from the room.” Jinxx says. I pull the blanket from my face and see him walking down the corridor to the stairs.

“What time is it?” I ask him.

“Seven.” Jinxx says looking back at me just before he turns to the stairs.

“What?! That’s early! When do you get up this time in the morning?” I exclaim, sitting up again and staring at Jinxx open mouthed.

“Since Sammi pulled me from the room and demanded I go and wake you up. Her exact words to me were ‘Get up and wake the lodger upstairs’.” He laughs.

I groan and rise, my legs stiff from my slumber on the floor. Following Jinxx down the stairs, I inhale the scent of pancakes. Sammi. I wrap the black blanket around my shoulders and follow Jinxx to the kitchen.

Sammi stands clothed in jeans and a black net top with a frying pan in hand. A look of concentration is set on her face as she tries to flip the pancake. Sammi can only cook pancakes and even then they aren’t anything special. It’s hilarious how much effort goes into one pancake with Sammi.

“Morning Sammi.” I smile. She doesn’t take her eyes off the pancake in the pan as she tries again unsuccessfully to flip it.

“Morning Andy.” She answers.

Jinxx and I take a seat at the table and watch Sammi. She bites her tongue in concentration. Jinxx and I stifle our laughter behind our hands.

“I heard you two.” Sammi mutters, turning to look at us. No matter how momentarily her concentration was focused on us, Sammi curses as the pancake slithers over the edge of the pan. Cursing, she shoots us a glare that speaks of pure annoyance and turns back to the pan. Jinxx and I can’t control our laughter at this.
