The Bucket List

truth is...

"Morgan..." A voice wakes me from my sleep. I keep my eyes shut, hoping it's just my imagination.
"Morgan..." I moan and roll over, grabbing a pillow and pulling it over my head.

"Kevin, she's obviously trying to sleep, maybe we should just-ow!" I recognize his voice as Jack Anderson, one of Liam and Kevin's other friends.

I grab the pillow in my hand and swing it around as hard as I can, hoping to hit Kevin as hard as possible. I feel myself hitting something although I'm not sure what it is. I hear a thump on the ground, and I open my eyes to see that Jack is on the floor.

"What the fuck, Jack? Is was a pillow!"

"I wasn't expecting that! You said that we would just prank her and get out of here, you didn't say that we were going to get hurt! You owe me a burger or something!"

"I don't owe you anything!"

"Look," I cut in, "I'll buy you a fucking burger, please just leave my room. What time is it?" I ask, searching for my phone. "Eight thirty? I could have at least another hour of sleep."

"Sorry Morgan," Jack starts, "We didn't mean anything by it, I hope you can forgive us, or at least me." He glares at Kevin. "If you want, we can-" Kevin stops him by elbowing him in the ribs.

"Owwww, stop doing that."

"Cut the crap, Jack."

"I'm not doing anything wrong! Sorry, Morgan. I'll let you go back to sleep."

"Thanks, Jack." I glared at Kevin, hoping he would take a fucking hint.

To be honest, I don't mind Jack. I actually kind of like him. He's really funny and kind. He's the kind of person who makes a joke out of anything. I could never be mad at him.

"Please, you guys, just get out."

I had spent a lot of time planning what I was going to do, thought a lot about how I was going to go about the situation.

I was going to do something with Addison and Rachel, and then I could tell them why I had done it.

And I think I finally decided what I'm going to do.

I pick up my phone and call Addison.

"Hello?"

"Hey, do you want to get together today? I was thinking of getting Rachel too.."

"Yeah, obviously. I haven't hung out with you guys in ages!"

"Okay, um, why don't you come over in like twenty minutes?"

"Okay! See you then." I have the same conversation with Rachel and they show up at my house twenty minutes later, with Booster Juice.

"Hey!" Rachel says as they walk in, and hands me my drink.

"Hey." We go into the kitchen, and sit down while sipping on our straws.

Kevin comes down the stairs and walks into the kitchen, and I roll my eyes.

"Hey." He says as he reaches for my drink. I smack his hand away but he's quick, and grabs it with his other hand, and takes a sip.

"Oh, wow. That's disgusting." He says, and puts it back down on the table. I grab a napkin and wipe off the straw where his mouth was. He rolls his eyes and walks out.

"I'm leaving. I'll see you later." He says, as he shuts the door.

"Was that... Kevin McAllister?" Addison asks.
