Chapter 19

Brandie's pov

We made pizza. A bunch of them. And they were actually pretty good.

I threw my paper plate out saying, "You people can share the last 2 guest rooms. And the loft. We have enough stuff. I mean we used to let bands stay here and shit so we needed to be prepared. I'm tired for the first time in weeks. So I'm gonna try and sleep. If not I might be up all night so sorry."

I hugged everyone and kissed Patrick before walking to my room. I cleared everything off my bed and changed into sweats and a tank top before slipping under the covers.

After an hour I was still awake. I was tired but I couldn't sleep. I sat up grabbing my Ambien off my nightstand. I put 2 in my hand and tilted my head back as I tossed them into my mouth and swallowed them.

I waited a few minutes and nothing. I took 2 more. I waited half and hour; and they didn't work. I quietly got up after taking another 2 Ambien and softly padded down the hall. I checked on everyone and saw they were all in the rooms. Except for Patrick. I walked over and leaned against the banister and smiled as I watched Patrick scribble down song lyrics in the loft. My weight shifted and a floorboard creaked. Patrick looked up and I smiled.

Once I was next to him I sighed, "I'm tired. But I can't sleep."

He put his arm around me and pulled me close saying, "You'll fall asleep soon."

I shrugged asking, "Can you lay with me in my room?"

Patrick looked conflicted for a minute before he replied, "Okay. Put if we fall asleep and Pete walks in to wake you up we'll be in deep shit. Well we'll be in deep shit if anyone walks in and we're asleep in your room."

A smiled crept onto my face and I bit back a laugh replying, "Well I'm willing to take the risk so get your ass in gear."

The door to my room softly clicked shut and I set blankets down on the floor creating a cushion. I set my pillows down and got us a fuzzy and warm comforter. Patrick laid down and I laid down next to him; covering us with the blanket.

I rested my head on his chest and my eyes lids started drooping. Patrick kissed my forehead before murmuring,

"Good night Brandie Candy."

I buried my face in his neck muttering, "Night Patrick Star."

Pete's pov ---morning---

I woke up from a long peaceful undisturbed sleep. I heard people downstairs and I decided to check on Brandie. I didn't hear her voice. Her door was open slightly and I slipped in. I rolled my eyes at what I saw. Her and Patrick were asleep and cuddling on a make shift bed on the floor. Ehhhhh not really happy about it but I can deal. But if they had sex I'm beating the hell outta Patrick. Brandie moved in her sleep and I saw her and Patrick were still clothed.

On that note I slipped back into the hall and padded downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and said morning to everyone. After a second I heard a thud coming from upstairs.

I walked to the bottom of the stairs yelling, "Which one of you walked into what?"

There was mumbling and Brandie Candy yelled, "I slipped on a comforter, fell into Patrick, and we fell on the floor. So shut the fuck up!"

A laugh escaped my throat and I covered my mouth with my hand to muffle the sound. But Patrick still yelled,

"Stop laughing Pete!" Silently I made my way back into the kitchen, where I then started laughing again. Brandie appeared and glared at me but her glare faded when I smiled.

Patrick appeared and smiled, "Morning everyone."

"Why were you guys sleeping together?" Ryan asked.

Brandie went bright red saying, "We weren't 'sleeping together'! I couldn't sleep so I made Patrick lie down with me!"

I hugged her saying, "It's okay Brandie Candy. I believe you." She made a face saying,

"I should taken the banner down. Wait. Did I?" We looked at each other before running into the living room. The banner was still up and she jumped and grabbed it. Instead of the banner coming down it stayed like that. Brandie hanging from it.

She jumped down yelling, "Fuck gorilla glue and gorilla fucking tape!" She climbed into the loft. She peeled the banner back a little before saying,

"Pete grab it." I grabbed the bottom corner and she ripped part of it down. I tore the other part down and she grabbed the rest of the banner and swung down on it like a vine. I caught her and the rest of the banner fell.

She kissed my cheek smiling, "Thank you."

I kissed her cheek smiling, "No problemo."

I helped Brandie bunch up the banner and throw it out. I looked outside and saw it was raining. Brandie smiled before running out the back door. I saw her run out into the yard and into the tree house. She came back out with a soccer ball. I smiled and looked at everyone saying,

"Outside. Now."
