Chapter Nine: A Blast From The Not-So-Pleasant Past

A large figure jumped onto my bed and took all the blissful peace that sleep had given me away.

"TIME TO GET UP FOR..." One voice began and four new voices chorused, "ROLLERCOASTERS!!"

I groaned and buried my head into the fluffiness of my violet pillow.

"Come on Lexi! Up and at 'em!" A smooth voice said into my ear and ripped the pillow from my head of tangled red curls, leaving them staticy and strands sticking up strangely. I let out a frustrated whine at the bright light that danced at the edge of my closed eyelids. My eyes pried themselves open and automatically became a glare at the cheerful and smiling faces of my sister and the boys of One Direction.

"Do I..." I began calmly, "ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE A RUDE AWAKENING?!" I threw a shoe at one of them and hid under my duvet, enjoying the warmth that enveloped me.

"Come on Lexi-Poo, we have rollercoasters to ride today!" A different voice cooed slowly, like I was a small child that refused to get up for school. I felt the warmth ripping from body quickly leaving a trail of goosebumps on every inch of my skin. I sat up, defeated, as almost every piece of my bedding was on the floor. Harry smiled cheekily from the side of my bed and I glared at him, my nostrils beginning to flare. I slipped my feet into my warm alligator slippers and got Harry right in the kisser with my fluffy pillow. I got to my feet and rushed to the bathroom, only stopping to feel something hit me right in the bum.

"Harry Styles, you did NOT just do that." I turned around slowly to the cheeky curly headed boy.

"Oh, but I did." He winked and I picked up the pillow he hit me with and flung the pillow right back at him as I hurried and closed the bathroom door behind me. I giggled as I barricaded the door with my small body as he fought to gain access to the bathroom.

"Harry, you sicko!" I called playfully as his fighting became less forceful and he poked his head through the little space between the door and the wall.

"Oh, I'm gonna get you Lex, watch out!" He warned.

"Yeah, yeah. Get out the bathroom Curly before I call the cops!" I snapped jokingly and waved my hands dismissively. He winked and left me to my peace. I took a look at my raggety hair and tired apperance. "Hmm...shower?" I asked myself quietly. I took a look at the tangles on top of my head. "Shower." I confirmed with myself and turned on the water. I stripped down and climbed into the warm water. I washed my hair slowly whistled a few songs.

"LEXI! HURRY UP!" My sister screamed through the door.

"MELISSA YOU LITTLE GREMLIN! GO AWAY!" I yelled back at the door and I heard five different giggles. I rolled my eyes and stopped the water. I poked my head out of the curtain to find towels, which to my "surprise" there was none. "HARRY!" He poked his curly head through the door.

"Yes, Lexi darling?" He smiled innocently with a devilish glint in his green eyes.

"I'll give you two choices A. Give me back the towels or B. I could kill you." I growled.

"Big talk for someone who's kind of on the stort end of things." He stated charmingly.

"Fine, Harry please bring me the towels and I'll ride a rollercoaster with you today." I promised uneasily.

"I was thinking along of the lines of buying us lunch, but I like that better." He winked and threw me the fluffy towels. Man, that boy is having an eye spasm or something. I thought to myself and chuckled at my joke. I looked down and pressed my hands to my abdomen. I felt a small, hard bump and inspected it. I smiled at the fact the bump was minimum and I was still somewhat slim. I slipped on some underwear and a bra and brushed and dried my hair. I slipped on an oversized sweatshirt I found on the floor to hide my shame and hurried into the girls' end of the bus. I ran into a tall figure and fell to the ground.
