That One Summer

Chapter 18

Groaning I helped Harry on to the couch. I gently put a blanket over him and went upstairs to see if the others were there.  Once I reached the top of the stairs I made my way to Jordan’s room and found both her and Zayn in their respective bunks, making my way to Megan’s room, I found her fast asleep on her bed, a book in her hand. My last stop was the movie room in the basement where Louis, Liam and Niall were all sleeping peacefully.  Shaking my head, I walked back upstairs and got out some aspirin and some orange juice and gently shook Harry awake.  

    “Go away mum.” Harry groaned turning over in his sleep.

    “Harold Edward, get up now. We need to talk.” I told him gently as I sat down next to him. He groaned before opening his eyes.

    “Fine I’m up.” He muttered with a glare as I handed him his aspirin and orange juice.

    “Now come on. We are going to talk, and not here.” I told him, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the  back door.

“But Riley, I wanna sleep.” He whined as I drug him through the house to the pier.

    “And I want to be Canadian so I can be on Degrassi, we don’t always get what we want.” I told him crossing my arms.  “Now spill. What happened last night?” I asked sitting down on one of the chairs.

        “Nothing, can’t a single boy go out and drink without having a reason too?” He asked not looking at me in the eyes.

    “I guess but remember I’m here for you guys.” I explained with a small smile, which he returned as we headed back to the house.  When we got there everyone was still asleep so I made some breakfast and let Harry take a nap.    

    “Whatever it takes, I know I can make it through. And If I hold I know I can make it, be the best the best I can be, whatever takes I can make I can make it through.” I started to sing as a pair of arms caught my waist.  I squealed quietly and giggled.  

    “Have I told you how much I love you yet today?” He asked as he kissed my neck as I flipped a pancake. I rolled my eyes and turned around in his arms so I was facing him.

    “ No but I love you too.” I told him as I leaned in to kiss him.

    “Oi get a room you too!” Louis screeched as he walked up the stairs and saw Niall and I. I rolled my eyes as Niall smirked and tossed me over his shoulder.

    “Thanks for the Idea Mate!” He called as he walked up the stairs.

“Niall! I’m making breakfast! I can’t let it burn!” I giggled as he pouted and brought me back downstairs and set me in front of the stove.

    He stood with his arms wrapped around my waist until I gave him the first plate of pancakes, which caused him to smile and kiss my cheek as he walked over to the table and began to devour them. Louis glared at me.

    “Oi woman where’s my food at?” He demanded in a teasing manner. I rolled my eyes as I made him his pancakes and sat them down in front of him.  After about twenty minutes everyone but Tabby was settled around the table eating.

    “So what are we doing tonight?” Megan asked pouring maple syrup on her pancakes. For some reason everyone looked at me.  Blushing I pushed a piece of hair behind my ears.

    “How about a beach party?” I asked, with a smile the others nodded and went back to eating their pancakes. I smiled and shook my head as I put my plate in the sink as I walked back upstairs to my room and found a notebook and wrote down a list of supplies we would need.
