Chapter one.
I woke up, shaking with a shortened breath. Beads of sweat surrounding my forehead. I sat up, I didn't care if anyone saw what I looked like, I had my hair in the messiest bun, sweatpants on and a sports bra, it was too warm in the house to be wearing my normal pajamas. I had to look around. I tip-toed up the stairs to the kitchen, peering around the corner, no one was here. I checked the bathroom, nothing was there either. No one was in any of the rooms!
"Okay, good! Just a nightmare!" I thought to myself as I made my way down the stairs, going into the bathroom to rinse my face with cool water. I made my way back into my room, back under the covers.
"Are you okay?" A raspy sleepy voice whispered into my ear, while a warm hand reached around my side and wrapped around my waist.
"I'm fine I just had a nightmare, I didn't want to wake you," I answered.
"I've been awake for about a hour and a half, don't worry! I didn't wake up because of your tossing and turning or anything." he said sarcastically.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked while turning so our foreheads were touching.
"I know how you are when people wake you up! I wasn't about to get yelled at!" He exclaimed.
"James, I love you." I stated. You can never say something to meaningful to someone and not look at their eyes. They were a dark brown, well they still are.
He kissed my forehead and looked at me, "I love you too Kat, more than you'll ever know." He wrapped both arms around me and fell asleep. About half an hour later I was asleep.
I woke up to a couple of voices two or three, I thought, "It had to be James, with Jenny, Luke, or Beau." I walked up the stairs and saw it was Beau, Jen and James. Beau saw me first.
"Here comes James's little slut!" he shouted down he hall.
James glared at him, "She isn't a slut! She is an angel. Get it right, fuck face!"
I sat across the table from Jenny, "Why are you guys here? Where is everyone else?"
"Sleeping." she answered, she was barley awake. Beau must have brought her.
James then asked "fuck face" the same question that I asked Jenny.
Beau had a better answer then Jen, "We came here to ask about Mallory--"
"My cousin?" I interrupted.
"Obviously who else would I be talking about!?" he darted back.
"Why what's wrong? Is she okay?"
"Luke likes her a lot." Beau said with a mix of excitement and concern.
"Okay? I trust Luke!" I said as I was finding something to eat.
Jenny starred at Beau and said, "I told you she wouldn't care!"
Beau grabbed his keys, "Fine! I'll just leave then! Bye fuckers! You coming Jen?"
"With you? Great idea, I'll just get in the car with you! The angry Beau." Jenny said sarcastically.
"You can catch up on some rest in the guest room if you'd like!" I said while pointing at the guest room down the hall. Jen just stood up and walked to the room without saying another word.
"I'll call her," I said, trying to clear the morning silence,"I'll call Mallory and tell her."
James laughed and said, "She already knows!"
I looked at him with confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"She is sleeping at the Brooks house. If she hasn't figured it out she must be slower than you!" He said with a wink.
"So you're going to be like this?" I said as I turned on the radio. The song Best Friends was on. I blasted it!
James took me by the hips and pulled me to the couch, "And you're going to be like this?"
I saw Jenny, looking even crabbier, she must've woken up from the loud music.... oops! "Beau is coming to get me. BYE IDIOTS!"
I don't know what it is about the Brooks siblings, they always leave with an insult.
The song "Save You Tonight" came on, James looked at me and pulled me up and started to sing along, "I wanna save, wanna save your heart tonight!" we were dancing to One Direction, this was great for me.
I noticed two shadows starring at James and I, it was Luke and Jai.
"Don't you people knock?!" I shouted over the music.
"We did!" the twins said almost in sync.
James ran over to turn off the radio and stood by the boys, "What do you guys need?"
"I want food." Jai said while he shuffled to the fridge.
"I need some questions answered." Luke said without taking an eye off of me.
"Kay?" I took his arm and brought him to the living room, James followed leaving Jai alone. Funny thing about Jai, he wouldn't even notice that he was alone. He is always texting Jordane, she went to Paris for who knows how long!
"What's up?" I asked Luke.
"Does Mallory......... Like me?" He questioned with a nervous tone.
"I think so!" I told him with a smile.
"Good!" He got up grabbed and grabbed Jai by the shirt. I thought he said "questions" as in plural, he only asked one. I wonder what he is doing with that information. I sent James to check.
I called Mallory while everyone was out, "Can you come over? ASAP?"
"Are you okay?!" she said with concern.
I answered with, "I'm fine! Just come over!"
About twenty minutes after the call she walked in. Making her way towards the kitchen, making a right heading down the hall passing a bathroom and a guest room. She went to the sitting room. She knows my place like the back of her hand.
I made sure no one was coming in anytime soon, "Do you like Luke?"
"Of course I do?! We didn't sleep until 5am!" She answered with a wink.
"Ew! I don't want to hear that my cousin is making out with my best friend!" I shouted.
"We didn't make out...." She said almost in a laugh.
"EW! Fuck Mal stop!" I shouted again as I covered my ears.
"Well, why are you asking?" she said while gesturing that I should hurry up.
"Luke came over here and asked, I don't know!" I stated.
"He told me he likes me last night, I didn't say anything back. Maybe that's why!" She said as though she had solved world hunger.
"Why the hell didn't you answer him?"
"I don't know I was tired!" she said as she stood up getting ready to leave.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"To tell Luke I like him!" she said with a squeal.
I then received a text from Amanda, we call her Manda!
"Do you know when Jordane will get back?!"
"No clue.." I answered.
"Jai wont answer me.."
"Kay." I didn't want Beau to get ahold of her phone again and see that I've been texting her again.
Manda and I never had a full conversation, I'm not exactly sure why.... I think it's because of her fuck face of a boyfriend, Beau. Him and I never got along after that one night at the movies.
