Chasing Elliot Grace

No.22: The early hours

If you think about it, peace always breaks eventually. It might take a while but believe me it ends, and with it, people hurt and tears are shed. And let's be real here, we've all seen what happens after a while in my case, hell breaks loose. When hell does break loose, it normally leaves me broken, and this time is no different. But before we get to that, let's look at what happened in the early hours of what was left of peace. After all, you always need to see the whole story for the best experience. Enjoy peace while it lasts, because heartbreak is never, ever, pretty, or fun. In fact its the opposite, shattering, and makes you feel completely and totally empty inside. Point proven. When did I sign up for this? Because I was not informed.  I swear, my heart strings are one tug away from breaking at this point.

Cheerios are so underated, seriously, like everyone forgets about these guys but they're the bomb. This is what goes through my head at 5 am on a Tuesday. I really should be sleeping but when nightmares keep waking you from sleep, you try other solutions. Back to my previous thought, Cheerios are the bomb.   Im not weird, I don't care what you say. You know what else is amazing at 5 in the morning? Old Disney Channel reruns. Im currently sitting in our living room, eating Cheerios while watching That's So Raven, waiting for either A) one of my roommates to wake up or B) Kim Possible to come on at 7. Most likely B. Im a Disney Freak, as I've said before, sue me. You know going back and watching this show almost 10 years later, Ravens friends really weren't that smart, Cory also had a very high voice, but that's beside the point. As I predicted, as 7 rolled around, I was still the only one up, and Kim Possible was on. With Halloween a little over a week away, I got an idea of what I was going to go as, but I would need Simon to be my partner in crime. I would go as Kim and Simon as Ron. That is if he agrees, so I picked up my phone and called him.
Call to 'Simone😝'  launched at 7:19 am
Simon: Well hello Barbie.
Me: Simone, how many times have I told you that nickname makes no sense?
Simon: It so does, you look like the brunette Barbie, anyways you call me Simone, its even.
Me: True.
Simon: What's up?
Me: Well I was wondering, you guys are coming to my Halloween party right?
Simon: Yeah, actually-
Me: That's great! Okay do you have a costume picked out yet?
Simon: Well no, but Elliot-
Me: Okay well your going to be Ron from Kim Possible and Im going to be Kim, you have no say in it either.
Simon: Hm okay. Sounds fun, wait, its 7:24 am, why are you up this early? Like are you okay?
Me: Yes im fine Si, just couldn't sleep. 
Simon: Well that sucks, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later Barbie.
Me: agh fine. Bye Simone.

I continued to watch TV as I waited for the girls to get up, and at some point I fell asleep. "It wont be my fault when she kills you. We both warned you." Andrea said as I slowly started to wake up. I felt arms go around my knees and under my head and the person started to walk. "Nah it'll be okay, she loves us to much for that. Besides, what will a little water hurt?" Blake said and I could here the smirk in his voice. Answer to question number two: the chances of you and Skylar ever having children someday.Wait Blake? When did he get here? I open my eyes to see that Blake is in fact carrying me and towards the pool may I add. I start hitting and kicking him, not wanting to be thrown in the pool, but Blake just laughs at me and pretty soon im flying through the air. Water surrounds me and I react quickly, swimming to the surface. "Im going to kill you." I say to a chuckling Blake as I swim towards the ladder and get out, running after him. We run around the pool and through the back yard, before finally, I caught up enough to jump on his back, making him fall over. "What do you have to say for yourself Blakey?" He turned over and looked around helplessly before giving me an apologetic smile. "Um, well, im sorry, you see it was Tobias's idea I lost a bet so I had to." Blake's hands  were up in surrender as I smacked him in the face, and kicked him in the place I said I would, leaving him lying down in pain. Afterwards got up, running upstairs to my room to change. I got in something comfortable, not wanting to do anything today, and went to find my stupid twin. It was quite easy, considering I found him right away, chatting with Eva in my kitchen, Jenn,Andrea, and Lauren, on the opposite side of them. Lauren had returned a few days ago to my enjoyment, with a message that both Casper and Joe would be at the Halloween party. Tobias was on his phone not paying any attention to me as I came up behind him with a bowl of freezing water in my grasp that I had gotten from my bathroom. All the girls eyes were on me as they tried not to laugh. Finally, I got right behind him and with no stalling, dumped the water in the back of his shirt. "Ahhhhh!" He screamed, jumping around like a chicken with its head cut off. "What was that for?" He yelled looking at me. "Paybacks a bitch isn't it?" I said with a smirk, making myself another glass of chocolate milk, and then looking at a pouting Tobias. "Look babe, we all know you deserved that, stop acting like a two year old." Eva said taking my side on the argument. "Good morning girls, nice of you to finally wake up." Andrea flipped me off before heading upstairs to get one of Kians left shirts for Tobias to borrow. "Not our fault you've been up since down." Jenn said and I stuck my tounge out at her. The shirt fit Tobias seeing as him and Kian were the same size and after him pouting for about 5 more minutes I called for a truce. But like me, my twin is VERY stubborn. So I resorted to plan b: annoy him. And there's nothing that Tobias hates more than being poked."Tobias." Poke. Nothing. "Toby." Poke. More pouting. "Tobiana." Poke. Nope. "T." Bingo! "Oh for the love of Piña Colada's would you stop?" He breaks, taking my wrists to stop me. "Will you except my truce?" I ask with a smirk. "Deal as long as you quit poking. Now hug me you dork." Laughing we hug. "Nice doing business with you loser." Blake walked in with a limp not but two minutes later, bringing me to laugh at his state. "Bro what happened to you?" T asked concerned for his best friend. "Don't mess with our sister man, it doesnt end good. Lauren do you have some ice I can use please?" We all laugh then, Lauren throwing him an ice pack before he sat down, placing it on his crowned jewels. Arms wrap around me and I stiffen clearly startled. "What did I miss?" Simon says and I relax knowing its just my idiotic best friend. "Asshole." I say as I punch him in the stomach, him not even winded. "You love me though." He responds and I shrug. "Sometimes." Is all I respond before making my way to Blake to apologize for our little incident. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he tried to pull away. "Blakey."
"What do you want?" He was playing but I still kinda felt bad. "Please don't be mad at me." When Blake is mad at you its one of the worst feelings, like if you were to kick a puppy. "Why should I not be?" There was a ghost of a smile on his face and I knew I was already forgiven. "Because you love me soooooo much. And because im sorry." Sighing, he turns to me and then completely smiled hugging me. "That is true. Its good to see you." Smiling I nodded looking at the four people that had shown up unannounced. "Speaking of which, no offense or anything, but why are y'all here?" I said with a giggle. "We just wanted to see you. And we asked Lauren, so we have permission to stay till we leave for the beach house." Tobias answered as I made my way back over to Simons side half hugging him. And before you jump to conclusions, no, nothing is, has, or ever will happen between Simon and I. Don't even go there. "Oh okay. Im glad you guys are here!" I clap happily and we laugh. We found ourselves an hour and a half later, after a Starbucks run, sprawled out all over my living room. Kian and Jc had been here since we got back from Starbucks which occupied Andrea and Jenn, Blake and Lauren were being loners, both on there phones texting there significant others no doubt, Tobias and Eva were cuddled up on the loveseat, and I was currently cuddled up with Simon. As I said before, we're just friends, nothing's going on there. A scary movie was on and I was scared out of my mind so I cuddled up to him, he is my best friend after all. I calmed down a while later, as I normally do, and soon fell asleep, I didn't get any sleep last night, don't judge me. What I should have done is keep a hold on those last few moments of peace, I had an amazing boyfriend, great friends, awesome siblings, and everything was perfect, because little did I know, that peace was to shatter into a billion pieces less than an hour later.
