Lyric's pov
"I thought you said you weren't going out today?" Luke asks, plopping down on the couch. I was laying on the floor in agony. I had run out of ice cream long ago and advil wasn't working a the moment.
"I needed ice cream," I say into my pillow.
"Are you sure that you didn't get food poisoned by the ice cream?" Michael teases. I roll my eyes, even though no one can see them, and nod.
"Then what's wrong with you?" Ashton asks.
"Mother nature is a fricking bitch," I grumble. Dead silence from the boys. I could practically see the awkward glances they were giving each other right now.
"Oh yeah," Calum says, "I had forgotten that you mentioned that." I resist the urge to roll my eyes again.
"I'm going to go die upstairs in peace. If for any dumb reason you want to be yelled at, feel free to come and asked me a dumb question," I offer, standing up. The boys nod, their eyes not leaving me as I wrap myself up in a big, fuzzy blanket and trudge towards the stairs.
"You're going to trip and fall with that blanket like that," Ashton states. I feel a pair of arms pick me up. I consider protesting, but decide against it. He was probably right. And if I fell down the stairs, I might just lay there for the rest of the week.
"I hope you feel better!" Michael calls. I smile slightly, but don't call out a response. I just focus on how great Ashton smelled.
Our journey to my bedroom was too short. I had realized that I liked being held in his arms. I didn't want it to end.
"Ashton?" I ask as my best friend turns to leave, "Will you stay with me? Please."
"That depends. Am I going to get yelled at?" He asks, but he was already kicking off his shoes. I smile as he lays down on my bed beside me. I snuggle into his chest.
"Thank you," I mutter, curling into a fetal position.
"No problem, Lyric," Ashton replies, "what else are best friends for?" I smile.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I question. Ashton shrugs. I take that as a yes and turn on the television. A Walk to Remember was just starting. I leave that on, despite Ashton's protests. I knew that I would end up crying in the end, but whatever. I was just happy that I got to cuddle my best friend.
