June 31st

"Ella. Ella, wake up." I felt someone shaking me, and that someone sounded a lot like Sammi. I mumbled something inhumane and rolled over onto my stomach. "Get up, you fat ass. We've got things to do." She said, hitting me with a pillow.

"Piss off, Sammi, I want to sleep." I groaned.

"Tyler wants to tell you something. Sounds like big news. Now get up or I'll make you." She said, and I heard her leave. I groaned, feeling awful. My head still hurt, and I was freezing.

I peeled myself from my bed, and trudged out of my room, and down the hallway. I saw everyone in the kitchen, just chatting away. I feel down in a seat, shivering as the air conditioner hit me.

"Morning sunshine. Don't you look lovely?" Tyler smirked. I scowled at him, picking up an orange, and chucking it at him. He easily caught it.

"Yeah, I know I look like something that crawled out of your shower. Explain to me why you woke me up this early?" I asked, setting my elbows on the counter and resting my chin on my palms.

"Actually, two things. One, I don't want you living by yourself. We all agreed on it. And since you can't live here, seeing as I'm gone all day at work, the boys volunteered to let you live with them." Tyler said. Niall grinned wide, and Louis was practically bouncing on his heels.

"Okay." I said, lifting my head and laying my arms on my lap. I stood from my chair, and shuffled to the fridge. I pulled it open, the cold making me shiver. I quickly grabbed some orange juice and poured it in a cup.

"'Okay'? That's it? I thought you were going to protest, explaining how you're eighteen, and old enough to live on your own?" Zayn asked surprised. I opened the cabinet and grabbed the bottle of Aspirn, pouring two small, white pills in my hand.

"Well, it will be nice having some housemates, even though they're messier than pigs, except for Liam. And I'm not living in that flat ever again, and I don't exactly want to see my Mum." I said, popping the pills in my mouth, and took a swig of juice. I put the drink on the counter. "And I bet she doesn't want to see me." I said.

Awkward silence.

"So your birthdays coming up in a few days. Any ideas what we could get you?" Sammi changed the subject, smiling wide. I groaned.

"Come on! You're turning nineteen! You have to celebrate that!" Liam exclaimed. I laughed, but only shook my head.

"I don't want a whole, blow out party with tons of presents. All I want is a normal day with cake and you guys." I said, putting my hands out in exaggeration.

"Fine, Ms. Disappointment. Go change, we're going to get your stuff." Louis teased. I laughed, and shook my head. I walked down the hallway, and to the bathroom. I walked in the bathroom, and winced when I saw myself in the mirror.

When was the last time I had a shower? Never? It seemed like it.

I turned on the shower, and striped out of my pyjamas. I plugged my iPod into my iHome and pressed shuffle. Livin' On A Prayer came on, and I smiled. I hopped in the shower, the warm water dripping down my naked body.

I scrubbed some shampoo into my head, humming along to the music. I started to dance a little. I shaved my legs and put some conditioner in my hair. I rinsed my hair and body, then turned off the shower.

I wrapped a towel around myself, and stepped out, the cold sending goosebumps up my arms. I walked out of the bathroom, and noticed a pink tank top and black denim shorts on the bed.

I pulled on those clothes, and walked back to the bathroom. I double braided my hair, just for the fun of it. Tyler didn't have any makeup, and I didn't have any on me, so I couldn't use anything.
