I lay in bed and look at the time. 9:17. Listening to the downstairs sounds, I could hear what sounded like a door closing. "Niall?" I called downstairs in a small whisper, hoping no one was sleeping.

"Niall?" I whispered again.

"WOOHOO!" Was my call back and I quickly pulled the covers across my body and onto the ground and crept towards the stairs. All i could here was ding, ding, ding. It sounded like something from a cartoon animation game.

"No! No please don-" I heard Louis voice begin to say. "Noooo! God damn you Liam!"

I giggled to myself a bit and tapped my finger to my bottom lip. I began down the stairs and looked on the mat where we kept out shoes. Nialls shoes were the only ones missing. The boys were too distracted from their Mario Kart game to notice me.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, all eyes travelled over to me. Even Liam and Louis looked away for a second. "Hey Ellie! You didn't eat dinner yet, did you?" Louis asked, his eyes fighting the erge to look at me.

He turned to me with his eyes still locked to the screen. He passed the checkered blue and white finish line and jumped up. "Yes! Haha suckah!" He shoved his winning victory in Liams face.

He finally looked over at me and pointed to the kitchen. "There's chicken in there, ohh and do you wanna play Mario Kart? We need a third player," He said.

I nodded. "Hold on let me eat first."

After I ate, I walked into the living room, and Louis and Liam were getting all ready to kick my ass. I had only played this game once or twice. Once with Niall and another time with Lucy, so I wasn't the best at it. But hey, at least I try.

They handed me a green wii remote and a green steering wheel. "Whats this?" I looked at the two objects funny.

"What you kind of need to use to win the game..." Louis answered with a chuckle.

"Why are they green?"

Louis and Liam exchanged a look. "Ok... Never mind that, lets just start," I shook the thought as it began to count down.

3, 2, 1, GO! "Wait how do you go again?" I asked quickly, sittin behind the starting line in 12th place. "Guys! How do you accelerate again?!"

They were too consentrated on the game to notice me though. "Press 2!" Zayn shouted out of nowhere.

So I clicked it, and my vehicle started up for a second but then it stopped completely once again. "Press and hold," Zayn came up behind me and he pressed it down for me. "Now steer."

I steered, and carefully I replaced his finger with mine and held down the 2 as hard as I could. Out of nowhere, someone passed me and knocked me into the lava. "Sorry," I heard Louis grumble.

"Bie Bie!" Louis character in the game said.

"Louis!" I squeaked.

But he was to intently into the game to care. I ran into one of the boxes and it bursted, and in the top left corner, several icons popped up in randomized order until it slowed down to a stopped. Something popped up, it looked kind of like a bullet with arms. "How do you use the boxes?"

"B," Was all Zayn said.

I clicked B and I turned into the bullet thing and speeded past everyone, knocking some of them down. 'Lap 2' it said as I crossed over the line. Seconds later the words 'final lap' popped up on Louis and Liams screens. "Hey! Unfair!" I whined.

I ran into another box and a lightning bolt icon popped up and I clicked B. "God dammit, Ellie!" Louis yelled.

"Wa wa waaaaa," The game sounded as Louis fell into the lava after being strikes from the lightning.
