We were just minding our own business, Hayden swimming laps, refraining from getting her hair wet. I was laying on the side of the pool, one arm dropped so my hand was submerged. My shades covered my eyes and my other hand rested on my stomach.

"Do you need a top up on sunscreen?" Hayden came to where I lay, bobbing up and down in the water, feet off the ground of the pool.
"nah, I'm good. I might go get a bottle of water in a second though, if you want one-" I was cut off, once again.

"CANNONBALL!" Two deep voices yelled simultaneously, right before I was splashed with ice cold water.
"Aghhhh!" I screeched, standing up briskly.

"We put the towels there." Grayson motioned to one of the pool loungers behind me.
"Thanks." I blanked, motioning to my now soaked body. Then realising I basically just showed off my body looked down, blushing my ass off.

"You have something on your..." He pointed to my legs, not finishing his sentence.
"What?!" I twisted my upper body so I could see more of my legs, patting everywhere to get it off.

"Right there!" He wafted his hand around some more. Ethan and Hayden were staring from down the other side of the pool, completely confused.
"Get it off me!" I screeched, worried some type of life threatening bug of creature was preparing to suck all the blood out of my body. I walked closer to the edge of the pool.

He lifted his hand out of the water, touching my leg gently before grabbing my ankle and pulling my into the water.
When I surfaced I pouted "dude that's not cool. My glasses." I took them off, swimming to the side and throwing them onto the towel covered pool lounger.
"Jerk!" I turned and splashed him, chasing him round the pool.

"You guys don't mind if one of our friends comes over? We have to film a video for next week." Ethan asked as he closed the apartment door behind us.
"You do realise this is your apartment?" Hayden laughed, sitting up on the couch.
"Yeah but... Common courtesy and all that." Grayson shrugged, taking a bottle of water out of the fridge.

"Okay, we're gonna go to bed anyway. Got a long day of work tomorrow." The last bit was directed towards Hayden who just nodded and rolled her head on her shoulders, following me to the bedroom.

(pia_stoney bc I'm the best friend ever, and I copied your history homework 😁😋)

My somnambulism is, I'd say, pretty bad. Avery obviously knows everything about it. In fact, she's how I found out that I sleepwalk. However, luck was clearly not on my side when I started walking down the hallway in my deep sleep.

What's worse is Avery bought us these matching unicorn onesie things. Yeah I love it and all, but not when Ethan and Grayson Dolan are in the same apartment.

All I can remember is dreaming that I was at my brothers apartment back in England that has a similar layout to theirs so I guess that's a good thing. I don't want to end up outside a complete strangers apartment. I remember wanting a glass of milk (😉peps) you know, gotta get that calcium.

(Sorry I'm changing povs again and Peps, I will make e next chapter Hayden's pov.)

I've never been a very deep sleeper and you all know how cranky I get when I've had no sleep. So waking up to the sound of obnoxiously loud laughing was not something I was just gonna let slide.

I guess in my extreme exhaustion I'd forgotten where I was, in fact I assumed I was at Hayden's brothers flat and he had his friends over.

"Noah, shut up!" I mumbled, putting a pillow over my head.

"Dude, what the heck is she doing?" I heard a voice laugh. But this voice was not Noah's, it had an accent. Well, an accent that isn't the same as mine.
I clambered out of bed, rolling up the sleeves of my onesie.
"Bro, whys there some random girl in your apartment?!" A semi familiar voice yelled.

I opened the bedroom door, making my way down the hall. I rubbed my eyes, looking at he three boys on the couch. My memory returned to me, I'm in America. Apartment not ready till tomorrow. Ethan and Grayson Dolan. Got it.
But there was another boy sat on the couch. He must be their friend that came round.
"Is okay everything? You shit the scared outta me." I yawned. Taking a moment to go over what I said I laughed. "You know what I meant." They laughed lowly before Grayson pointed behind me.

I turned to see Hayden rummaging through their kitchen drawers, grunting and mumbling to herself.
"Hayden? You can't just help yourself to their stuff. That's so rude. I'm sorry!" I turned for a brief second to the twins, looking at them apologetically. As I walked closer towards her I noticed that she was in fact deeply asleep.

"Oh gosh." I picked her up, pulling her gently towards the sofa.
"Nice pyjamas by the way."

Guys my mum's picking my step dad up from getting his wisdom teeth out and my grandma came round to look after us (even though I'm nearly fifteen and my older brother is eighteen, my younger brother is four btw) and when my older brother went to heat up his Pizza Hut cookie dough my younger brother went to sneak and drink his Mars milkshake and my brother caught his and shouted at him.

It was like when you're having a face to face argument with someone and you start to cry, like you can feel all your face muscles go tight and funny, but you're trying to hold it in. He covered his eyes with him hands and when I went behind him, even though my older brother shouted at me to leave him alone, he clung to me and he wouldn't let go. Omg he was crying so much. I had to take him upstairs so he'd calm down and he said he was scared of my grandma and my brother.

Sorry, I just had to say 1) bc it was cute af and he came to ME and 2) bc when my mum gets home I can remember exactly what happened (i know. I'm the best sister in the world) 😊😊 bitch shouldn't have messed with my favourite brother.
