Alone But Packed

Chapter 21

*Marie's POV*

I opened my eyes and the sun from the window made me shut them tight again. I stumbled over to the window and closed the curtains, it didn't make it dark, but it blocked out some of the sun. I looked around the room, I saw the clock that said it was 7:09 A.M, an Lizzy's sleeping figure on her bed. She was on her back on the edge of the bed, and one leg was hanging off. I smirked thinking of an evil plan.

I tiptoed over to her bed, leaned down so my mouth was right next to her ear, and yelled, "GET UP!"

She sat straight up, but part way through lost her balance and tumbled off the bed with a thud. I laughed so hard my sides hurt, and had to sit on the bed and hold my stomach. Lizzy stood up and glared at me, folding her arms.

"OW!" She quickly uncrossed her arms and looked at her upper arm, where a big bruise was starting to  form. I snickered a little and she shot me a look before stalking into the bathroom. I kept chuckling as I grabbed my toothbrush and followed her. Lizzy was brushing her teeth at one of the sinks, so I started my morning routine at the other. We did this quickly and when we had both gotten dressed, we grabbed our bags and headed for the elevator. Lizzy wasn't mad at me anymore luckily, but I still thought it was funny.

When we entered the lobby, I saw all the guys spread out across the lobby. Kyle was putting away the room keys, Cam was eating something, and Josh, Dan, and Ty were standing, talking about something. It looked like a serious conversation, and Ty looked like he was upset about whatever they were talking about.

I walked over to the counter Kyle was standing behind.

"Good morning." I said cheerfully.

"Good morning." He smiled grabbing the key from my hand. "Ready to go?"

"Yup."

"Hey Marie, Lizzy." Cam called over to us. He held out an apple for each of us. I grabbed one and bit into it with a loud crunch. Some of the juice sprayed onto Cam's face, and he shot me a look. I smirked and walked towards the door with Lizzy next to me.

"Alright, let's hit the road." Kyle said.

"No one says that anymore." Cam smirked, standing up.

"Just shut up and let's go."

We walked towards the door, and everyone stopped. Lizzy and I looked at each other, then looked at everyone else. They formed a little path for us, and bowed jokingly. Lizzy rolled her eyes, while I sneered at them. We were never going to live this down, I thought.

I have an idea. Lizzy glanced at me.

She quickly told me the plan, I nodded.

I linked my arm through her's and we pushed through the double doors. We stepped aside and held the doors open for the guys, who looked confused, but started towards the door. When they were just at the doorframe, we dropped the doors, and since they were pretty heavy they slammed back quickly, hitting them in the face. We heard chorus' of 'OW' and 'OUCH'. Lizzy and I snickered. Cam pushed open the door and glared at us. I gave him an innocent smile, then turned and ran towards the car, Lizzy just in front of me.

"GET BACK HERE!!" We heard them yell.

"Yes?" I asked when they had reached the car. They all glared at me.

"Guess it's not just girls that have problems with doors." Lizzy smirked.

"Just get in the car." Kyle growled. Apparently he was driving since he was in the driver's seat. Cam opened the door to the passanger's seat and we all assumed our usual positions in the back. We pulled out of the parking lot and started our journey once again to Washington D.C. Kyle said we had about 2 days driving left, which we were all happy about since we were all tired of sitting in a car all day long.
