Broken Ice {w.b.}

Chapter 18

"What happened?" Will asked groggily, slowly sitting up. Dalton looked over at him and grinned. 

"Sleeping Beauty is finally awake! You still don't look to good, though." I shot a glare in his direction. Dalton glanced at me, rolled his eyes, then back at Will and explained, "Jaz and Hilary said you got in a street fight, or something like that."

"Oh yeah," Will muttered, realization crossing his face. "Where are the others?" I stretched and made sure I didn't kick Dalton, since I was laying on the couch with my legs on his lap.

"They went to the mall. I didn't want to leave you alone here and Dalton didn't feel like going," I explained, smiling over at Will. He smiled back, then looked over at Dalton with confusion. 

"Why are they at the mall? It's, like, three in the morning." Dalton and I glanced at each other. 

"Try three in the afternoon," Dalton corrected him. 

Will stared at us both with wide eyes. "Seriously? I've been asleep for that long?" Dalton shrugged and laughed.

"Why are you so shocked? It's not like you haven't slept for twelve hours before. All you do is eat and sleep." I giggled while Will glared at Dalton.

"Dalton, can you please leave? I wanna talk to Jaz alone," Will said, his glare still fixed on Dalton. He shrugged and stood up. 

"Okay, but I don't want any baby making going on here. You understand?" 

I laughed. "Bye Dalton." He waved, then walked upstairs, probably going to Cole's room. Will sat up, then motioned for me to sit next to him. I stood from the other couch and walked around the coffee table, then sat next to him. 

He pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Are you okay?" he asked softly. I smiled. 

"I'm fine, you're the one who took the hits. Thank you, bye the way. I just hate those guys messed up your pretty face." He chuckled. 

"I have an ugly face, you're the one with the pretty face."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't see it, honestly." His face sudden turned serious. I watched him carefully, waiting for what he was about to say. 

I was shocked, though. Not at what he said, because he didn't say anything, but by what he began to sing. "You are beautiful," he sang softly, "not matter what they say. Yeah words can't bring you down. You are beautiful in every single way, yeah words can't bring you down..."

"You just love to sing, don't you?" I asked, smiling. 

"I'm in a boyband," was his brilliant response. I giggled and rested my head against his chest. "Do you wanna watch a movie? I don't think Dalton will be coming back down anytime soon."

"Sure. He's probably up there going through Cole's stuff."

He picked up a white Wii remote and turned on the Wii. "Nah, he learned to not go through Cole's stuff right after he pelted Dalton with water balloons to wake him up." I laughed. "He's probably just up there watching TV or texting Madison." 

When the Wii finally kicked on, Will began looking through the movies. "What kind of movie?" 

"Not a scary one. The sun outside will ruin the effect," I muttered, learning from experience. Sunlight just doesn't go to well with scary movies. Will nodded.
