Stay the Night

Mason's POV

"The doors most likely locked"

"We'll knock it down then"

"Heath that's not a good idea"

"Well then, what's your idea Miss Smarty-pants?"

"Find the key"

"As if that woul- that's actually a great idea! I'll go get it!"

What was going on? I moved my body to my side, stopping immediately when I felt my head start throbbing intensely. Hissing in pain, I laid still and tried opening my eyes. What happened to me?

I slowly yet carefully open my eyes, one at a time, letting them adjust to the dark light. I was in my bedroom. That was promising. I felt slight movement from my side catching my attention. Very cautiously I tilted my head to the side staring at an unfamiliar blonde.

Groaning, I sat up in bed, the world seemingly tilting around me. How much did I drink last night? This was obviously a hang-over. Great. This was always the horrible part to partying, the morning after the fun.

"Heath are you sure this is okay?"

"A little prank with water is not going to kill the kid"

Confused with the voices, I stared at my door as is the handle began to jiggle. It was too early for a wakeup call. I watched as the door slowly opened, no doubt the intruder trying to be quiet. A mop of black hair was the first thing I saw, before the door was forced open and the brunette walked in looking irritated and devious.

I stared blankly at them as they found me in bed. Heath's face contorting in horror while Evie stood in shock. I grabbed my shirt and quickly chucked it on, ignoring the rigorous pounding in my head.

"Oh my god Mason!" Heath spat, covering his eyes and dropping the bowl of water that was in his hands. It landed on my bed, spilling all over the blonde girls and my legs. She woke up screaming, yelling profanities while covering herself up with the sheets as she realised we weren't alone. I turned back to my brother and his sidekick, but Evie was already running out my room.

"What the hell Heath?" I yelled, getting out of bed and grabbing a towel to dry my feet. He even soaked my pants, great.

"Sorry man, I didn't know you had her in your bed" he apologised before backing out of the room and shutting the door firmly behind him. I held my head as the pounding got louder, I needed breakfast and a hungover cure.

"Get dressed and get out" I told her before walking into my bathroom to take a much needed shower.

Evelyn's POV

"Are you okay?" Heath asked, sitting down beside me. I nodded my head tightly while continually staring at the backyard pond. I remember sitting in this exact same spot time after time when I was upset or needed space. It was my natural instinct to come here. It was peaceful and the koi fish were mesmerising to watch in silence.

"Yeah, just needed some air" I told him quietly, taking a deep breath in. The air outside was cold, despite it being mid-day. Winter was approaching fast and I loved it. Heath nodded his head before placing his hand on my shoulder and squeezing it reassuringly.

"The old bat, Mr. Lloyd is on the phone by the way, asking for you and Mason?" Heath asked confused handing me the home phone. Grimacing, I took the phone suddenly nervous. He no doubt wanted to know about the progress with the tutoring but there was no progress. Mason was a persistent asshat who ran away at the sight of me and a book.
