I pulled the covers more up and over my head as I heard someone pulling them back, I groaned loudly and kept a tight grip on them.
"Wake up!!" A voice yelled, but I was too tired to pick it out. I shoved my head underneath the pillow as I kept hold of the covers.
"BRINLEY ROSE WAKE UP." multiple voices yelled, and I knew I didnt know that many people so I peeked my head out to see Riley, Anna, Ashton, and the rest of 5SOS. "I hate you all." my raspy voice growled.
They began laughing and Riley pulled me up out of bed, exposing myself in just an oversized shirt that I bought for myself which fell to my mid thigh. I rubbed my eyes, not thinking anything until Ashton rushed over standing in front of me before anyone could see anything.
"Can you give her a moment to change?" he asked, as I lied my head on his chest. I heard my door close and he let out a shaky breath. "You need to wear pants to bed more." he chuckled and I groaned, going back into bed to pull the covers over my body.
"No, cmon Brinley." he spoke, removing the covers. "Ash." I spoke tiredly with closed eyes, I felt the bed dip to my right as his body wrapped around mine allowing me to cuddle into him. "5 minutes." he said, and I could tell he had a smile on his face.
His fingers ran through my knotted hair, trying not yank through the painful knots. "Want me to find you something to wear?" he spoke softly. I laughed and shook my head as I pushed myself up to sit up on the bed.
"When did the rest of the boys get here?" I asked, he smiled "They've been here since yesterday." I nodded and crawled over him to stand and stretch as he just watched me.
I instructed Ashton to turn around since he's only seen me without pants. He nodded obediently and turned his vision as I slipped on my trente sheer tights then pulled off my shirt to quickly throw a strapless bra on then my razer cut crop top from TOPSHOP.
I grabbed my Garden Rose high waisted shorts from Forever 21 and put them on and told Ashton he can turn back around as I grabbed my Burberry Epaulette Detail Cashmere cardigan from the closet before feeling arms wrap around my waist.
Allowing a blush to creep upon my face, "Yes Ashton?" he shook his head and kissed my cheek. I sat on the bed and slipped my boots from yesterday on and laced them up.
I grabbed my phone and walked across the hall and quickly brushed my teeth quickly and brushed through my hair, fixing it into a side braid that starts off as a fishtail and ends normally.
I looked at my makeup hesitantly, "You dont need it baby." Ashton told me as he leaned against the door frame. Sighing, I turned the light off an followed him down the stairs where my parents stood talking with Anna.
I froze in place as my dad looked at me, I wanted to throw up, to run, to cut. My thighs burned and I scratched them slightly above my tights. "Brinley, where are you all headed to?" he asked. I looked at Riley where she told him we were all going to hang out around town before the ball drop tonight. Seeing as it is New Years Eve.
My father looked between me and Ashton, "What's this?" he kept his gaze locked on mine, giving me a mental verbal abuse, physical as well. "N-Nothing. I was.." I took a deep breath as my chest tightened and I rested my hand on it, silently thanking when Ashton spoke up.
"I didnt know where the bathroom was an Luke was using the one downstairs so she led me to it because she had walked out her bedroom when I reached the top of the stairs.." he said gently. My father gave an unsure stare and he nodded, going to the couch and sitting as he turned on the TV. I looked to my mother and she stared at her phone before waving it and joining my father.
