            Hello, guys! This will probably be short because I’m exhausted, and I have serious writers block. I’m noticing I have a lot of ghost readers. :/ Im not going to be mean and insist that I get so many votes or comments before I upload again, but I would appreciate it sooo much if I got more votes, comments, and maybe even fans. I don’t have much motivation to write lately.. Anyway, here it is. Enjoy. Oh, and picture of Aaron Taylor over there >

            “NO! I wanna watch Lion King!” We had gotten home from the beach an hour ago and decided to watch a movie. Jordyn and I wanted to watch Lion King, but the boys disagreed.

“No, we want to watch Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark!”

“I hate scary movies!”

“I hate Disney movies!’

This had been going on for at least thirty minutes. Scary movies are terrible and I’d like to sleep tonight. After all, I have school tomorrow.

“Ugh! Fine! Put the freaking movie in, but if I can’t sleep.I will keep every single one of you up all night.” I huffed.

            Aaron popped the movie in the DVD player. Logan plopped down on the couch next to me, and shot me a smile. I guess I never noticed how attractive Logan is.I turned my attention to the TV.

            Not even halfway through the movie, I was freaked out.

“We should have watched Lion King.” I said, but my head was hidden in the crook of Logan’s arm so it probably sounded like a lot of jibberish.

“We’re out of popcorn!”

I hopped up. “I’ll go get some!” Anything to get out of this room. I basically ran into the kitchen.

            I put the popcorn in the microwave.

Leighton, can we talk?” Blake’s voice startled me.

            I don’t want to talk to him. I’m not bitter or anything, but still.

“Um, sure. I guess.” I said anyway.

“I want to explain. I know it won’t make much of a difference, but I want you to know what happened. Aaron, Logan, and I like you. I wanted to hurry and ask you out before any of the other guys because I knew if they asked you out first, I’d never have a chance. I know I’ve only known you for a day, but you seem like an amazing girl, and I am so sorry I hurt you. As for Erika, my girlfriend, I was going to break up with her that night, which I did..”

            I tried to digest what I just heard.

“Okay. I honestly don’t want drama, so it’s okay.”

“Really?” Blake looked relieved.

I nodded and grabbed the popcorn out of the microwave.

“I really am sorry.”

“I know, Blake. It’s okay. I’m glad you actually talked to me about it.”

            He smiled and hugged me.

“Come on, let’s go.”

I groaned. I really, really hate scary movies.

            “WAKEY, WAKEY!” I yelled.

It is now 3 o’clock in the morning and Jordyn and I can’t sleep.

“What the hell, dude?” Logan groaned and walked out of his room.

            I ignored him and woke everyone else up.

“It is 3 o’clock in the morning. What. Do. You. Want?” Aaron walked out of his room and rubbed his face.

“I told you I’d keep you all up if I couldn’t sleep.” 

Five male voices groaned and I laughed.

“I thought you were kidding.” Blake said groggily.

“Nope.” I said, popping the ‘p’.

“I’m going back to bed. I didn’t have anything to with what movie we watched. Goodnight.” Alex went back into his room.

“Same here.” Dylan yawned and walked off.

            And then there were three.
