Chapter 32

~~The next day~~

~~~~~Arianna's POV:~~~~~

Hello! I'm Tinky Winky!

Hi! I'm Arianna!

Today we're gonna ride over the rainbow on unicorns!

Cool, wh-

"Wakey, wakey Arianna!" Jade shouts as she runs into my room and jumps onto my bed, already fully dressed.

I moan. "You just woke me up when I was having the best dream ever!" I lie.

"I bet it was only something stupid," she says and I blush because she knows me too well.

"Now, get dressed and have some breakfast! Today is a good day!" she sings as she runs back out of my room.

I sigh, but do what she says because I know how special this day is to her and I don't want to ruin it.

As I walk slowly into the kitchen, I am greeted by Jade shoving a bowl of cereal under my nose.

I sit down and slowly munch it. 

"Have you taken your pills Jade?" I ask.

"Yes! I know what I'm doing and I am older than you!"

"Only by three months!" I retort.

"But three months is a long time in the life of a chipmunk!"

That statement just causes me to burst out laughing. Jade looks triumphant, knowing she's won the argument.

We are interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. Jade's expression changes from smug to a look of excitement. We both rush to the door, Jade has gotten pretty good at handling her walking stick, and Jade swings it open. 

"Hi there!" Harry says.

"Hi!" I say as I see Jade's face drop. She tries to cover up her disappointment with a small smile, but she's too late.

"What's wrong? Were you expecting someone?" Niall asks.

"Well, sort of, yes." I answer.

"How could anyone give you more joy than us?" Niall jokes, directing the question at Jade.

She gives him a cheeky grin and laughs.

"Well, it is pretty easy to out-do you in the 'joy' category..." 

"Hey!" He says in fake offence.

Jade just lets out another laugh, turns on her heel and walks back towards the kitchen. 

"You've still got to finish your breakfast, Arianna!"

I sigh and the boys laugh.

"She sounds like your mother." Harry says.

"She's only 3 months older than me!" I reply, remembering our little argument and giggling.

~~~~~Jade's POV:~~~~~

Arianna finishes her breakfast and goes back out into the lounge. I put her plate into the dishwasher and follow her.

Perrie and Zayn have come downstairs and are sitting in the lounge with the boys. Perrie, Zayn and Liam are on one sofa and Harry and Louis are on the other. Niall sits by himself on the third and last sofa.

Arianna quickly rushes to sit next to Harry and Louis, which I find strange, but I sit on the only available sofa, next to Niall, who smiles warmly at me. 

"I feel like watching a movie." Louis announces.

"But it's only like, 11am!" Liam counters.

"So?" Harry joins the conversation.
