The Monroe Girls

Chapter 5

Emma's P.O.V.

After our quick trip to Target, which consisted of us buying ice cream, chips, soda, candy, and pizza for dinner. Considering none of us knows how to cook, Claire and I made a mad dash up the stairs and to our rooms to grab all the pillows and blankets that we could find and made our way down the stairs.

As I hit the last step I turn around to see if Claire is right behind me only when my eyes meet hers everything seems to turn into slow motion, I watch as she slips on the carpeted stairs, landing on her butt and falling down the rest of the stairs.

I immediately burst into a fit of laughter, and I too come to term with the same fate as my cousin and collapse on the cold hard wood floors. With the both of us making eye contact we start laughing our asses off, I get up and walk to the living room still laughing but now determined to make our fort. I hear Claire walk into the kitchen pouring chips and candy into bowls for us to share. Once we're done putting up the fort that we made in the living room, we army crawl into it and put on 'America's Got Talent.'

After a while of watching the judges decline tons of the people, I got bored and decided to explore Pinterest. First I took a quiz to see what kind of pizza I was. Then I realized I was still incredibly bored; started looking up fun things to do when someone is bored. As I was scrolling through hopeless ideas of what people thought was "fun" until something caught my eye, clicking on the site to see someone sliding on a mattress down a flight of stairs.

"Hey, Claire what do you say that we try a Pinterest find?"

"Ehhh no offense Emma, but the last time I tried something that you suggested my eyebrows got fried off, and that was just by making cookies that you forgot to half the recipe!"

I laughed at that memory and slowly got up and went into the kitchen. I grab the wine out of the fridge and poured myself another huge glass, I didn't even bother asking Claire because she already has a half full glass next to her. (what Elena doesn't know won't hurt her, she feels the need to be a good example for us...) After I poured my glass I laughed silently at Claire while she was booing at the tv, because of the awful singing this person was doing. I took my glass upstairs and stripped my bed for the sheets and threw them on the floor in the corner.

I finished off the glass and sat it down on my night stand, I slowly picked up my mattress swaying a little bit since I filled my glass up to the very top. As you can tell I can't hold my liquor very well but that is beside the point. Finally, I win the battle of sheets Vs. me and slide the mattress off my bed completely and started scooting the big fluffy marshmallow I call my bed out of my room and to the top of the stairs.

Lowering the mattress on the floor I went back into my room and grabbed my wine glass. I went back down stairs and poured myself another tall glass of wine and started skipping my way up the stairs again. I got up the stairs and got situated on the mattress, right when I was about to slide down the stairs I heard the front door open and close; knowing that it was Elena. I'm already gonna get scolded anyways might as well make it worth it. I started pushing my way down the stairs until I couldn't feel the wall anymore.

I felt the wind in my hair as I was riding my Unicorn; better known as my mattress, and drinking my almost gone wine. I was cheering as loud as I could, which might I add is very loud, almost reaching the bottom of the stairs I see a figure coming out of the main hallway. Making my final stretch down the stairs I slid all the way into the kitchen and crashed into the cabinet. I started laughing my ass off, not really feeling the pain since I'm a little tipsy.

"Oh my God Emma are you ok?"

I started in on a fit of laughter laying on the mattress as I was still upside down. Suddenly I felt hands on my arms and the person slowly lifted me up, because my legs are still weak. I don't remember how many glasses that I had but I know that I finished two and a half bottles of very expensive wine that my dearest sister got from the parents of the very adorable two-year-old child that she babysits. Apparently, they are VERY wealthy.

It wasn't until I heard Elena gasp and see her blur past me that I finally start realizing the pain in my left arm. I looked down to see a minor gash in my arm and tons of little glass stuck in it. I know even in my drunken state Elena is gonna be extremely pissed at me... As she comes back to me and I realize that I'm sitting on the counter top now and Elena is busy cleaning out my wound. It's then that she speaks a very even scary tone I only hear a few times. "You're going to need stitches but we can stay here I have an extra suture kit here. Why did you have to be so stupid Emma?"

I was about the say something but a hiccup came out instead. A chuckle escaped from the person that was holding me up, I turned around to see a really hot guy- oh wait!! That's one of the hot guys that live next door. I giggle and turn back around to see my Elena and the other hot guys which I can't place a name with a face.

"Oh, my gosh Claire how much did she drink?" I could tell by that voice it was from my oh so dearest sister, I could now tell that she wasn't all that mad as she was trying not to laugh. Claire turns her head from the tv and looks at Elena, she shrugs her shoulders and goes back to watching the tv.

I started feeling a little woozy from all my laughing and my adventure down the great oh mighty stairs, I look down at my unicorn onesie and realize that my feet aren't covered up!! Oh no! My socks!!!

"Oh, hunkel berry sugar plum!!!! What happened to my magical socks!!!"

Another deep chuckle came from the boy behind me, I let out a giggle and then a hiccup and slowly started to lean forward and found it extremely hard to keep my eyes opened. In the distant, I could I hear the deep voice say "Oh no you don't." I'm suddenly floating and can hear myself saying "Wheeeee my unicorn powers are working! I knew it wouldn't fail me!" I feel the sky vibrate as if it was laughing at my very serious topic but I'm too far gone to investigate the fact that the sky is laughing that will have to be another mission for another day.

As I drift off farther I can hear Elena asking for help from hottie number two to help her move my magic carpet back into my room. As she makes the side note that I will end up in my room and will have hell to pay bright and early tomorrow I hear that dang sky laughing at me again and here my moron sister and cousin laughing too as I drift into La La land while riding into the sunset.
