The 5 And Only

Chapter 23

So soon we were all gathered in the living room.  Including Brooke, Gavin, and Mike.  So when I say we are going to pull an 'all nighter' I don't just mean we are going to stay up all night.  It means that all night(so yea technically we do stay up all night) we go anywhere, just anywhere, no directions or anything we just get in a car and drive until we find a beautiful place.  "So are we ready?" Brody asked excitedly.  "Yea we're just waiting for Mike to pull the truck around."  I explained.  In perfect timing there's a car honk indicating Mike is ready to go.  Everyone has the biggest, dorkiest smile on their faces!  Everyone darts up running outside while Liam and I run into the kitchen to get the picnic baskets and grab all of the blankets and pillows on the way out.    "Oh gosh we haven't done this in so long!" Liam says excitedly.  "I know I it's so fun to have all of us together again!"  Next thing I know we are all loaded up in what used to be my mom's old car.  It was baby blue and had the front half of a hippie van but had the back of a pick-up truck.  It was literally the most amazing car ever!

So this is kind of changing subjects, but I'm so happy I haven't seen my dad home in a while.  I don't need any new bruises, cuts, or pains to explain to Harry.  I'm not going to lie though I am kind of worried about my dad.  Yes he tortures me and I shouldn't feel bad for him, but he's still my dad.  I don't know I probably sound mad.  Ugg why do I have to think of him now of all times?!  The one time I actually feel like I belong and feel truly happy. 

I tried to push the subject out of my head and within time I actually did. 

Mike was driving in the front with Niall sitting next to him.  Which reminds me!  With everything going on lately I haven't gotten to spend any time with Nialler or Zayn!  I NEED to do that A.S.A.P!  Anyway, In the back of the truck I sat in the middle of Brooke and Liam leaning against the side of the truck closest to the driver seat.  Then Zayn, Louis, and Harry sat adjacent to us leaning on that side of the truck, and lastly on the other side adjacent to us was Gavin and Brody deep in a reunion talk.  I refused to let anyone lean on the side of the truck across from us because I always had a weird feeling that if anyone leaned on it then the back would unhinge somehow and they would fall out of the back of the huge rectangle and die.  So everyone knows not to sit there or else I will scream at them.

"Hey Mike how long have we been driving?" I question.  "About an hour." He states.  I was surprised we have been driving for so long!  It felt like minutes.  I was having troubles not falling asleep, but it was an all-nighter so I couldn't go to bed now.  

Liam's POV

I've officially realized that I'm not in love with Morgan.  It's our friendship that I'm in love with.  I'm pretty sure all guys that have a girl best friend have liked them more than a friend.  Unless your gay or she's lesbian...okay I swear I didn't mean to do this but when I thought that I looked at Gavin and saw him doing to most awkwardest girly thing to Brody EVER!  I can't even explain it!  It looked sexual and creepy!  With this thought in mind I laughed out loud earning looks form everyone because of my strange outburst.  "What are you laughing about?" Morgan asked sleepily.  I laughed once more, "Nothing just something I thought."  She just smiled, a warm longing smile that read that she was truly happy and wanted it to stay like this.  "Hey babe you look tired, wanna cuddle?"  I asked holding my arms out receiving a laugh from Morgan.  "As amazing as that sounds it's an all-nighter and I am forcing myself to stay awake!" Then her eyes got very wide very quickly and she sprang up, no longer looking as tired. "OH MY GOSH I DIDN'T TELL YOU DID I?!?!?!?!" She blurted.  I looked at her questioningly.  

From there she explained how she pasted many of her tests and told me about photography and her script, everything.  I've never seen her so happy.  "I thought you haven't done photography in years?" I questioned.  "Yea, I didn't really tell anyone.  Mike doesn't even really know.  I didn't think it was that big of a deal, and I didn't think I was all that great.  Today though, made me realize I take myself for granted." Morgan explained.  A huge grin spread on my face, a grin so big the Cheshire cat would be jealous.  I then hug/tackled her then threw her back and forth in my arms like a spazing cat.  We both cried with laughter then when it died down I whispered, "I'm so prud of you.!"  Then with that I swung her back over to where she was originally sitting.  I'm so glad I have my best friend back. 

Morgan's POV

I've finally made up my mind about Liam.  He's my best friend and only that.  Sure I love him, but as my brother/ teddy bear/ thunder buddy/ batman, etc.  My mind is set on Harry, dear Lord! I never thought I would think that!  Well people change, time changes.  At that moment my mind wandered to the black lit up circle with white detailing of a woman with wavy hair and a crown, most likely a queen then around was a green band and in white read the words,"STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!! MIKE STOP THE CAR NOW!  NOW!  NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I blurted frantically, practically standing up by then.  "CALM DOWN MORGAN!  And sit down! Gosh I'm pulling in!" Mike retorted. By then Brooke joined in with me, "HURRY UP!!!!! I NEED MY STARBUCKS!!!" As soon as the car came to a stop, well more like a yeild, Morgan and I jumped out screaming,"COFFEEEEE!!!" And darting to the doors.  By the time the boys came in Brooke and I already ordered.  I ordered a Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino which was coffee blended with peppermint-flavored syrup, mocha sauce, milk, and ice.  Topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate curls!  AHHHH I died just thinking about it!  Morgan ended up ordering the Vanilla Bean Creme Frappuccino which was a creamy blend of vanilla bean, milk, and ice.  Topped with whipped cream.  I didn't pay attention to what the boys ordered because I was too busy mesmerized by mine as the brista made it.  Our names we called, we received our beverages, Mike paid, and with that we were back to the truck!  "Here." Mike said throwing me a bag of sweets once we all got situated.  I didn't remember ordering food so I opened the bag exposing two peppermint brownie cake pops, one chocolate cake pop, a blueberry scone, a chocolate chunk cookie, and a double chocolate brownie.  "I love you brother!" I shouted to Mike then with that we were finally off to...um...wherever the road took us.

I was sharing my food with Brooke when I realized something.  "OMFG! BROOKE! You are the perfect definition of a white girl!"  Brooke scanned herself then looked up," Oh my god someone kill me." I just laughed then crawled in front of her and took my phone out.  "Okay white girl pose on three! One, two." "White girl pose!" We both said in unison after I counted down to two.  I tried taking other ones too but all of them besides the first one was her perfectly manicured, french nails flipping me off.  The picture was so perfect though!  Brooke had her hair up into the perfect messy bun, like always, then she had on Ugg boots and skinny yoga pants along with an oversized light brown sweater that matched her Ugg boots that was just barley hanging on her shoulders exposing her super defined collarbones.  In the picture she was leaning against the truck with her legs straight out and crossed then in the left hand she held her Starbucks showing the side the brista wrote her name on then the other hand was making a peace sign and her facial expression was a kissy-face, and her make-up was the cat-eye look and mascara was gorgeous.  Oh gosh I love my friends! 

It's funny because we are white yet we make fun of white girls!  I went back to my spot and before we knew it we were all making small talk enjoying the night and trying not to get pulled over by police.  I mean its illegal to sit in the back of the truck like this, but we are also on a highway so that's even worse.  All of our heads were low, we were all practically laying down.  I was in Harry's arms then the rest of the guys were spread across the floor of the truck.  I looked over and saw Brooke laughing in Niall's arms.  At first I was confused because I thought Niall was in the front with Mike but then I remembered him and Liam switched places when we left Starbucks.  Aweee that's so cute though! Niall and Brooke!  Aweee!
