When I woke up, Liam was making breakfast, and yelling at Louis for trying to sneak carrots into the omelets.  

"That's disgusting, why would anyone like carrots in their eggs?"  

I raised my eyebrow, grinned, and tried not to laugh. As I tried to raise my head I realized I was pinned under Zayn and Harry and possibly Claire. Niall was sitting in a chair smirking at my situation. Problem solve Addison! I thought. I thought about it like a military training course, like the one I had been to when I visited my cousin. I thought back to our visit. He had crawled under a rope net, and wriggled through barb wire. I struggled to remember the details. Never, thought I would have to imitate his training, but now's as good a time as any to attempt it. I formulated a plan, then explored what was behind me with my feet. I bumped into a pillow. That's a good idea, I think. I grabbed the tip of the pillow with my toes, using my free hands, wriggled my way out of the pile, filling the Addison-sized tunnel with the pillow. Niall looked at me in amazement for a minute, then shook his head.  

"Let's just eat," he said, still shaking his head.  

"You are always hungry!" I laughed, walking towards the kitchen. Then I caught sight of the breakfast Liam was unsuccessfully trying to put together. Orange omelets sat on a plate, and burned bacon was sitting on the counter.  

"I'm just going to stick with cereal..."  

Niall laughed, and picking up a piece of bacon, agreed with me.  

"No cereal for Liam, spoons are the bane of his existence." Louis stated in a misleadingly helpful tone. I laughed a little, then caught sight of Liam's expression; he was laughing at Louis, but I don't think he was joking, so I nodded.  

"Everyone's afraid of something," I said shuddering at the thought of things that terrified me. Just then Liam's phone, which had been sitting on the counter, vibrated. He was too preoccupied to notice, so I waved it in front of his face.  

"Hey Liam, ummmm... Danielle Peazer? is calling?" I said, hoping I hadn't slaughtered her name. He grimaced, but it quickly turned into a smile at the thought of talking to her. 

"She is going to be awfully mad. I forgot to call her yesterday." He picked up the phone, and quickly began to respond to her, when he caught hold of Niall's expression. He stuck his tongue out at Niall and left the room. Niall raised his eyebrows at Louis but Louis just shook his head.  

"I'm not going to freak, if that's what you're waiting for; I remembered to text Eleanor. She says 'Hi,' to both of you, by the way." It was weird to hear Louis suddenly sound so mature. The effect was ruined by the fact that he was dropping carrot slices in the omelets again. I just shook my head.  

"Wanna go for a swim when everyone gets up?" I suggested. Louis and Niall nodded excitedly.  

"Sounds great!" We woke Zayn, who was wrapped up in a comforter covered in roses from my sister's bed, and then together we poked and prodded Harry and Claire, who were cuddled up together, awake. They all agreed to a swim, so Claire and I headed up to my room to change into swimsuits as the boys rushed to claim a bathroom. We found Liam, who announced that Danielle was coming up, if it was okay with me, (it was) and agreed to swim until she got here.  

By the time Claire and I had chosen a suit and put it on, the boys were ready. I reached into a linen closet and pulled out swim towels, handing them out to the group. Louis and Harry fought over a Finding Nemo towel, and eventually decided they should share both two towels, so they could have their claim to Nemo. I chuckled, and we headed down the stairs to the pool.
