Sunken (a magcon fanfiction)

Chapter 14

I groaned and rolled over immediately regretting it. My throat was dry and sore. I felt worse then yesterday. I opened my eyes and rubbed them. At least my nose was clear, thank god. I grabbed my phone to check the time. Jeez. 9:45. I stood up and walked out of my room. I could hear Ash squeal up stairs.
"Ew gross" oh god. I licked my dry lips and yawned. The sun shone in my face as I came up the stairs. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. Oh god.
"Hey Say. How ya feelin?" Luke said.
"I can't talk" I mouthed.
"Lost your voice?" Mikey laughed at me. I sneered at him and started opening cabinets looking for food.
"Mom made you some weird smoothy thing. It's in the fridge" Ryan said coming upstairs from his room. I nodded and opened up the fridge. I reached up to get the Nutribullet container thing. Luckily it still had the lid on so when it came tumbling to the hardwood floor, it didn't spill everywhere.
"I'm taking Mavericks for a walk. Uhhhhhhhh yeah. I'll be back in like half an hour of whatever" he continued grabbing the leash and clipping it to the dogs collar. Mavericks barked at me and I knelt down to pet him. I retrieved the container and grabbed a straw. I slid the cup across the counter where it landed next to my cousin. I hopped up on the counter next to him and took a sip. It actually did sooth my throat. I coughed and collapsed onto Luke.
"Well hello there"
"Kill this" I said my voice raspy.
"Wish I could" he said patting my head.
"So Mikey video today?" I said stretching out across the counter which was oddly comfortable.
"Yeah! What're we doing" he cheered.
"Drum roll please" I said glancing at Ash. He patted his legs and yeah. I don't have a way with words. (A/n it's kinda 1:38 AM and I don't plan on sleeping so just hang with me for my bad grammar and confusingness)
"Food creations with Michael Clifford" my voice cracked as I spoke.
"Now that seems like my type of a video" he said ruffling my already messed up hair.
"Ok so how does it work" he said.
"Ok well this is probably gonna be the most fun video all week... Sorry guys. So basically you three make Mikey and I each a mystery dish. You can put whatever you want in it as long as it's edible"
"Wait do the two different dishes have to be the same"
"No they have to be different" I said.
"Oh that'll be fun!" Ash said clapping.
"Oh and we have to guess what you put in it" I said logging into my twitter. I scrolled through my mentions from fans. I stopped on a tweet from Troye to read it.
@troyesivan:
You have nothing better to watch @saylorfitch?
I had been watching Troye for a really long time. I mean we hadn't really met in person but we were really close internet friends. Like we Skyped and texted ya know.
"When do you want to film?" Luke said looking at the time.
"Well I feel ok right now so Mikey and I'll go downstairs and you call us when you're all done. Remember two different dishes" I said.
"Can we make it gross"
"You can make it whatever you'd like as long as it's edible" I said jumping down from the counter and pulling Mikey downstairs to the theater, which had become littered with all their stuff.
"What's on Netflix" I said sitting down on Luke's couch and pulling his still warm blanket over my cold body. I breathed in his sweet scent and for the first time in a long time, well at least from the shooting, I felt safe. A feeling even my own brother couldn't provide. I guess that's because my brother had been the one shot... I could still hear the echo of that gun in the hall way.
"You ok Say?" Michael said.
"Uh y-yeah. What're we watching"
"Superman"
"Isn't that Ash's favorite" I said. As if on cue I heard the squeals and giggles from upstairs. I grabbed my phone to text Luke.
Me:
Please don't break anything...
Lukey:
We won't. Relax while you still can. Some of this stuff is wicked
"Their planning to kill us" I said shutting off my phone and looking up at the huge screen. Mikey didn't reply, obviously caught up in the movie. I forgot to take my meds again. What was with me? Usually I never forgot it. I tried to grasp the edge of my happy attitude before I slipped into the darkness.
"I'll be right back" I mumbled and ran upstairs to my room. I shut my door tightly behind me and grabbed the pills. I downed them and grabbed a glass of water from my bedside table. I sat there for a minute, letting the medicine sink in. I stood up and grabbed my 'Clifford' tee and rolled up the selves so they were just under my shoulders. I think I have an addiction to band merch... Then I kicked off my leggings and put on a pair of dip dye high wasted shorts. I slid on my usual assortment of bracelets and my black chuck taylor high tops. I switched phone cases to one of Mikey's tweets that said:
Real bands save fans. Real fans save bands.
I think my cameras still upstairs so I turned off my light and closed the door behind me. I put my phone in my pocket and ran back down stairs. I sat on the couch and watched the rest of the movie with Mikey.
~
My phone buzzed in my pocket causing my body to jolt up from it's curled up ball.
Lukey:
Ok we're ready
Me:
Took you long enough
"They're ready" I said standing up and shoving my phone in my pocket.
"Oh god. Why am I scared" he said turning off the tv.
"You should be. You never know what these boys have up they're sleeves." I said walking up the stairs timidly.
"Ok guys cover all the food so we can't see it"
"What're we supposed to cover it with" Calum said.
"I dunno. Grab a blanket or something" I said from the top of the stairs. I coughed resulting in me almost falling down the stairs.
"Ok" Ash said giggling.
"Alrighty. Let's go Mikey" I said pulling him to the table where the boys had set up two chairs at one end. All the food was on the counter.
"Ok lemme set this up" I said grabbing my camera. I put it on the table under two of Ryan's huge text books which were constantly strewn about our house. I checked to make sure the angle was right and then pressed start.
"Hello YouTube my name is Saylor Fitch and welcome to Food Creations with Michael Clifford" I said laughing.
"Wow. I feel honored" Mikey said.
"I know I know. Ok so we asked the boys to each create two different dishes for Michael and I, and they were aloud to put anything they wanted to into it as long as it's edible. Now Mikey and I are gonna have to take at least one bite and you have to swallow it and then you have to guess what's in the mystery item"
"We have to swallow it?" Mikey said eyeing the guys.
"Just one bite. Luke is there a bandana up there" I said.
"Here" he said throwing me the tie dye bandana.
"I'll go first" Michael said.
"You sure" I said raising my eyebrows.
"Yeah I just want to get it over with" he said.
"Okkkkayyyyy" I said folding the bandana and tying it around his head.
"Oh yeah if anyone else's already done this, I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure we're the first people to do it this way though. But if you've already done it then thanks for the idea"
"You guys are gonna need water" Ryan said coming up the stairs with mavericks.
"Yeah. You guys were out for like two hours" I said standing up to grab a pot.
"We're clearly unprepared" I said flipping my ponytail off my shoulder and putting down the pot.
"Alrighty so we have water, thank you Ryan, and we have something to spit into. So let's go. Mikey you can't see right"
"Nope"
"Alright perfect. I need the first- yeah thanks" I said grabbing Calum's dish. I gagged at the smell and slid it over to Michael. "Oh my god what is that" Mikey said.
"I don't even know" I said looking at the green lumpy something oozing out of the wheat bread.
"Ok this is Calum's right?" I said glancing up at Calum over the camera.
"Yup. Good luck buddy"
"Oh god. How do I pick it up"
"It's a sand which" I said looking at the camera chewing my lip disgusted.
"Oh my god" Mikey said gagging.
"You need to spit" I croaked. My stupid voice. He shook his head and swallowed.
"Ew" I said picking up one of the pieces of bread. Mikey's face began to grow the shade of the paste oozing out of the bread.
"Ok what was in it" I said coughing away from the camera.
"Ok well there's defiantly like avocado in there" he said.
"I'm surprised you got that" Calum said.
"I'll put what's really in it up here and what Mikey guesses down here" I said making air boxes.
"Was there like beans in that" Mikey said gagging again.
"Mhm"
"And god I don't know what else"
"You give up?"
"Yeah"
"Ok Calum what was in it"
"Avocado, kale, corn, and cough syrup"
"Ewwww" I said wrinkling my nose.
"That's what that was. God that was terrible" Mikey said.
"Ok this is-"
"Luke's" Luke finished for me. I bit the inside of my cheeks and grimaced at the camera for Mikey. In the bowl was a brownish orangish mixture.
"This is what it looks like. Good luck my friend" I said showing the camera and then putting it down in front of Michael.
"Here" Luke said handing me a spoon. I stuck it in the mixture, the metal hitting chunks of something.
"Ok so here's the spoon... Yeah. Ok" I said guiding Michael's hand into the bowl. Mikey's expression changed and his hands reached out to find the pot. I have it to him and let him spit out the -whatever that was-
"Water" he howled. I have him the glass of water and let him do his thing.
"Oh my god" I said looking from Mikey to the camera to Mikey.
"I highly dislike you guys right now" Mike said wiping his mouth.
"You're gonna hate me even more once you figure out what's in it" Luke smirked.
"So like mashed carrots, milk, pure cocoa"
"Where'd you even find pure cocoa. I didn't even know we had pure cocoa"
"We ran to the store"
"Oh" I said looking back at Mikey.
"Was there salmon in there?"
"Yup"
"Did u get it all?"
"One more thing"
"Oh god. What was it"
"Mayo"
"EEEWWW" I screamed.
"I couldn't even swallow that one." Mikey said.
"One more. Ok ash" I said taking the pale green cup. He was smiling like his usual cheeky self.
"You're horrible" I said.
"I know I know" he said handing me a straw to put in the drink.
"Ok Mikey it's a drink. Good luck" I said putting it in his hands.
"Oh no" he said putting his lips around the straw. He took a sip and then spit it back into the cup.
"What the hell man" he said.
"You have to swallow a sip" ash squealed.
"No. No I can't" I love the way Aussies say 'can't' Idk I'm weird.
"Just one. Come on" ash persisted. Mikey sighed and took another sip, this time he swallowed. His whole face turned the same shade of the drink.
"I'm really scared" I said.
"Oh you should be" the boys smiled evilly.
"Ok go Mikey" I said.
"There's a bunch of vegetables in it for sure" he said.
"Wasn't it you who said that if ash were to take you on a date the only thing he would feed you is a vegetable" I said looking at Mikey even though he couldn't see me.
"PAYBACK" Ashton screamed.
"Ohmygodvajgdoebehfwiskgagisbscajbsgjavs"
"Broccoli, lettuce, Vegemite, I feel like there's like celery in it"
"You're missing a key ingredient"
Ash said.
"Was there like mayo in it"
"Yup"
"Ewww"
"There's one more thing"
"Was it the chunky thing?"
"Yeah"
"Was it like expired milk?"
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT"
"YOU PUT EXPIRED MILK IN THAT" I screamed.
"Yeah"
"That's against the rules you can't put anything in that'll make us sick"
"He only took a sip he'll be fine"
"Ok ready saylor" Mikey said taking off the blindfold.
"No" I said holding up my ponytail so he could tie the bandana around my eyes.
"See the thing about saylor is that she has a really awesome gag reflex so you could put anything in her mouth that she isn't used to and she will literally throw up" I could hear my brothers hands on my shoulders.
"Yeah don't kill me guys".
"Get that pot ready because chances are she'll be puking." Luke said.
"Thanks" I said flatly. Wow can you tell how excited I am for this.
"Ok this is Calum's" I heard Mikey's voice. My senses flared and my stomach churned already.
"Hears the straw. It looks awful" Mikey said.
"Oh god" I said, my lips grasping the straw. I took a sip and immediately spit it out.
"UGH" I said reaching for the water.
"Here" Mikey said. I sipped it and wiped my lips.
"You didn't take a sip"
"You should take a sip" I smirked at Calum's voice.
"Go just do it" I squeezed my eyes shut and sipped. The flavors made my eyes water and my nose run. I swallowed before I threw up. I kept my eyes shut concentrating on not puking.
"What was in it" I heard Mikey say. I could almost taste the pleased smirk on Calum's face.
"Mustard, that marshmallow paste stuff, sausage?" My throat was burning. I'm not sure if it was because of the death trap I had gotten myself into or if it was because I was sick.
"How did you guess all that"
"I dunno" I said shivering.
"Ok this is Ashton's"
"Oh god. We've all learned that ash has no mercy."
"It's like soup so just sip it" Mikey said giving me the straw. I mentally and psychically braced myself to sip whatever this was.
"Wait Say where's your phone. I wanna vine" Ryan said. I pointed to what I though the counter was. Ryan already knew my passcode which at times worried me.
"Ok go" he said. I took a sip and then immediately pulled away looking for the pot. I grabbed it and threw up.
"Ewwww"
"I'm telling you, gag reflex"
"You ok Say" Luke said. I pulled off the blindfold and took the napkin from Ryan who was watching the vine he had taken of me puking up my guts. I wiped my mouth and threw the napkin in my pot of puke.
"I hate you all. All of you. I hate you" I said wiping my eyes with my hands.
"I'm gonna go wash my hands" I said standing up to go to the kitchen sink. I glared at the boys and turned on the sink. I scrubbed my hands with soap and then dried them. I felt like shit but I had to finish the video.
"I mean. I wasn't planning to keep down my breakfast anyways" I said pulling the blindfold over my eyes.
"Well what was in it"
"Mayo, mustard, milk, I feel like there were like pickles or something, and uhm apple juice or something?" I said.
"You've got it all except one thing"
"What was it"
"Nutella"
"WHAT YOU PUT NUTELLA IN THERE. YOU JUST RUINED NUTELLA FOR LIFE" I screamed.
"Ok one more for the grand finally" Luke said putting something down in front of me. I didn't hear a plate or anything.
"It's like a cupcake sorta thing" Mikey said. I heard him take the paper off the bottom. This shouldn't be terrible. I picked up the cupcake and took a tiny nibble. I didn't taste anything terrible yet.
"Take a big bite saylor. Don't be afraid" Luke hoaxed. I grimaced and took a huge bite.
"I hate you" I screamed spitting out the cupcake. My mouth was on fire. Yes, folks, that's right. I had just bitten into a ghost pepper. I hottest pepper ever. I rushed around the kitchen looking for milk. I grabbed the milk and threw off the top. I chugged the milk trying to get my mouth to cool down. Ryan had my camera filming me as I spit into the sink.
"I hate you all" I said grabbing my phone. I flopped on the counter and lay with my face over the sink. I pressed my moms contact and put it on speaker. I poured the milk into my mouth.
"Hello?" She said.
"Mom will you bring home milk. Like a lot of milk"
"Why"
"Because Luke"
"What"
"Just bring me milk"
"Well how're you feeling"
"I need milk"
"You sound really sick"
"I really need milk"
"Have one of the boys go and get it for you. I won't be home for a while tonight" she said.
"Still pick some up for me. Hey should Luke pick up Toby later"
"Yes please"
"OWWWWW. Gotta go flush my mouth with milk bye"
"Love you?"
"Mhm" I said gurgling milk and turning off my laptop. I sat up straight on the counter and motioned for Mikey to come over.
"Soooooo basicallllly... Yeah. Hit like if you enjoyed watching me puke my guts out while I'm already sick thank you very much Ashton Irwin"
"I'm sowy..." He said.
"Oh it's fine. You'll be the one cleaning that out" I said motioning to the pot.
"See you tomorrow with another fabulous video. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee" I said turning off the camera.
"Kay well I feel like shit so if you need me, I'll be down stairs" I said taking my camera from Ryan. I grabbed the milk and hopped off the counter. My mouth was still on fire from my idiot cousin and my cold. I ran downstairs to the bathroom in my room and gurgled the milk into the sink.
"LUKE" I screamed. I didn't even care that I was damaging vocal cords.
"Yes princess" he said poking his head around the door.
"I need more milk" I said looking up at my sickly pale reflection. My eyes were watering and my nose was red.
"Coming up soon. I love you"
"I hate you too" I said turning back at my reflection. I gurgled the rest of my milk and then went to sit down on my bed. I plugged in my camera and opened my laptop. I started editing. There was a lot of editing let me just tell you. After an hour of editing, adding text, and gurgling another gallon of milk, I was done and updating my video. I took my laptop off my lap and put it next to me. My phone buzzed on the bed next to me.
"Hey" I croaked.
"So still sick I presume" I heard Ryder's voice. I stood up and walked over to my window.
"Yeah why"
"Well I still have to finish unpacking."
"Yeah well I'm not gonna risk getting you sick"
"Plus if you watch my new video that I just posted you'll see exactly why I need that" I said taking the milk from Luke who had just walked into my room.
"Need what"
"Bye Ryder"
"Wait-" he said. I smirked and hung up my phone. I threw it on my bed and walked back into the bathroom to rinse my mouth more.
"I will never forgive you for this Luke"
"Is that right"
"Yeah" I said spitting. My mouth was starting to feel better.
"You love me anyways"
"Not right now" I said handing him the gallon of milk back and getting into bed.
"So what movie are we watching."
"We?"
"Yeah. It's raining out what am I supposed to do" Luke said climbing in next to me.
"Yeah uh go do something with the guys. I think I might go to a movie with some friends" I said trying to escape the boys who had just tortured me for hours. My stomach still ached from earlier and my throat still burned from the ghost pepper.
"Really. What friends" Sam said.
"I'll call you when I need you to pick us up" I said kissing his cheek and grabbing my phone.
"Ryan will you drop Ryder, Sam, and I off at the movies" I said.
"Sure?"
"Ok. I'll meet you in the car." I said running out the door and over to Sam's house. I knocked on the door only to be greeted with the, 'come in'
"Sam we're going to the movies" I said closing the door behind me. The house looked great with the pale blue walls and welcoming furniture.
"Oh I see how it is" Ryder said coming down the stairs.
"How could I forget my Ry. Come on. What do you wanna see" I said running my hands through Ryder's clearly untamed hair. I swear we're like an old married couple.
"Mom can we go to the movies with Saylor"
"Yeah sure. You need money. Here get snacks or drugs or whatever. As long as your out of the house. You two have been driving me crazy all day" she said shoving money in both of their hands.
"Hi saylor"
"Hey"
"Ok go. Have fun" she said pushing us out of the house.
"How bout that movie Noah. Didn't that come out a week ago or something"
"Actually it did. You wanna see that" I said getting into Ryan's car.
"Ok" Sam said.
"You need money" Ryan said pulling up in front of the theater.
"I've got some but yeah I'll take your money"
"Get out"
"I'll call Luke later"
"Bye" Ryan said speeding away. I rolled my eyes and turned back to the boys.
"So your first time at the movies huh" I said.
"These movies. Come on" Ryder said pushing me. Sam stood there watching us.
"What sammy" I said putting my hand behind his neck. I saw his eyes widen at my gesture.
"Oh Sam my man. Loosen up. This is California. All the girls are more touchy and uh what's the word..."
"Sick" Ryder said.
"Thanks best friend. Here get three tickets for Noah" I said handing him money.
"Have you ever wondered why Ryder and I act like an old married couple?" I said licking my bottom lip and turning away so I could cough.
"Ew you sound terrible" Ryder said handing me my ticket.
"You're so pleasant" I said.
"I know. I know" he said walking to the snack counter. He bought himself literally 20 dollars worth of food.
"You're not gonna eat all that" I said.
"You'll help me" he said.
"You're full of your self" I said pushing him and walking into the movie. We were still 10 minutes early, so we found our seats and got comfy. I turned my phone all the way off and put it in the cup holder. I grabbed some of Ryder's food and then leaned back in the seat. As I watched everyone come into the movie theater dressed for rain, I looked down at my skinny legs shivering.
"Here" Sam said giving me his hoodie.
"Thanks Sam" I said covering myself.
"Just trying to loosen up" he smirked. I punched his arm and laughed.
~
"You asshole pick up" I said trying to call Luke once again. It was pouring rain so hard I thought that the metal roof above us was going to fall to the ground. The phone went to voicemail for the fifth time.
"Try your brother" Sam said shivering. He refused to take his hoodie back because, his words exactly, 'Ryder will be so bored without you if you get even more sick'
"He won't answer me. He should be at work right now" I said trying to call Luke again.
"I'm gonna call Calum or Ash" I said looking at the time. 4:30. Toby is usually picked up by now.
"Ash you have to come pick us up" I said into the phone.
"Where are you. It's like pouring out"
"Uhm yeah! Luke was supposed to pick us up like half an hour ago"
"You shouldn't be outside your sick. I'll go wake Luke up"
"Thank you" I said. I hung up and shivered, coughing.
"Ahhh" Ryder said pulling me into a warm hug.
"I'm so cold" I said shivering in the downpour.
"I know. I know" he said Rubbing my back. My phone buzzed as I pair of headlights shone through the rain. I glanced down at Luke's conformation text saying he was here.
"Thanks for picking up buddy" I said getting into the car.
"I'm so so so sorry. I fell asleep and my phone was upstairs. And I feel bad because you're sick and I already murdered your mouth earlier. I'm so sorry" he said. It was something about his huge blue eyes, the same shade as mine, that made me feel bad.
"Yeah well you can make up for that by getting us warm pizza. Come on Toby" I said.
"Right. How do you get there"
"Go like you're going home and then take a left on Hilltop" I said.
"I'll go get him" I said getting out of the car and running to the building. He was in kindergarten, but the kindergarten was in completely different building as the private school that I had gone to up until about two months ago. It's almost like a preschool except it's kindergarten. I ran through the rain into the huge building.
"Hi. Oh my god I'm so sorry. Luke fell asleep" I said brushing my wet mop of hair out of my face.
"Oh it's ok. Toby was just finishing up a movie" the lady said.
"Do I have to sign her out or something"
"No. Your mom called earlier and said you were gonna pick him up"
"Ok awesome. Thanks for waiting. Let's go Toby" I said.
"Sure. Have a goodnight"
"You too" I said grabbing Toby's backpack and leading him out to the car.
"Rainnnn" Toby said skipping through to Ryan's car. I opened his door and let the boys buckle him in.
"We'll just order pizza" I said.
"Ok" Luke said driving the rest of the way home.
"Did you have a good day" I said looking back at Toby.
"Yeah. Can Dylan come over tomorrow"
"We can ask mom" I said.
"Ok" he said. Luke pulled into the driveway and we all trooped inside.
"Well we're gonna-"
"No you're not. Come on you're staying for dinner" I said pulling the two boys inside.
"I'll text my mom"
"Ok" I said.
"Hey I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna go home and change" Ryder said.
"Yeah you guys go change and come back" I said leaning down to pet Mavericks who had jumped on me.
"You coulda called me" Ryan said.
"I thought you were at work" I said.
"They sent us home" he said. He hadn't changed from his red swim shorts and his Lifeguard hoodie.
"Oh" I said walking down the hall to my room. I closed the door behind me and grabbed a pair of jogging pants and a long sleeve shirt. I walked over my bathroom and turned on the warm shower. I stripped and stepped into the shower, washing my long hair that fell just to my lower back. I turned off the faucet and wrapped my self in my towel. I put my bracelets back on and put my hair into a high floppy bun. I put on my clothes and a Magcon sweatshirt with a pair of UGGs. I grabbed my phone before running upstairs to the house full of guys. Damn I should really get my girl friends. I mean I have tons of girl friends but I haven't seen them in months.
"Ok. I want cheese" I said flopping down on the couch next to ash.
"Saylor" Toby called from his room. He and my mom had the only rooms up stairs, above the kitchen and living room level. We had a really high house.
"Yes" I said jumping up and walking towards the stairs.
"I need help" he said. I sighed and coughed before making my way up the stairs, down the hall, down two more stairs, and into his room.
"What" I said.
"I want my pajamas" he said.
"Did you look in your drawer" I said walking over to his closet.
"No pjs" he said.
"Here" I said throwing him a pair.
"I want to take a bath"
"Right now?"
"Yeah" he said.
"Can you do it by yourself" I said, really not wanting to watch Toby run around naked.
"Ryan"
"Ok" I said standing back up and walking downstairs.
"Ryan Toby wants a bath"
"Ughhhhhh. Now?"
"Now" I said.
"Why can't you do it"
"Tell you what... You bathe him and I'll help him once he's out." I said.
"Deal" he said. Walking up stairs to Toby.
"Your moms calling" Ryder said. I nodded and picked up my phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey. I'm stuck at work for at least another two hours. Are you guys good there? You need food?"
"Well after Michael and I's little food adventure today... Yeah."
"Do you still need milk?"
"Well for tomorrow morning I guess"
"Did Toby get home ok?"
"Yeah. He's taking a bath with Ryan"
"Ok. How about you. You don't sound good"
"I know" I said coughing.
"Ah Saylor. I'm gonna get you something on the way home"
"Okay"
"Alright. I gotta go. Be careful"
"Ok. Love you mom"
"Love you too" she said.
"Bye"
"Bye" I hung up my phone and walked over to the window.
"This is not California spring weather" I said pressing my phone to the glass to vine. I posted and watched the comments roll in about how sick I sound. I went onto twitter and read through my mentions. I had a bunch from the Magcon guys. I replied and smiled. I missed those boys so much.
"How about some music" I said putting my phone on the speakers and letting Echo by Trevor Moran fill up the huge house.
"He's all yours" Ryan said coming down the stairs.
"Ok" I said running upstairs and opening the bathroom door. Toby was all wrapped up in his duck towel that went over his head. That had been my favorite towel when I was younger.
"Ok Toby" I said closing the door and grabbing his pants. He took off his towel to reveal his SpiderMan underwear. I smiled and knelt down.
"Saylor what's thunder"
"Thunder is when the clouds all go bowling and when they get a strike, there's a loud noise"
"So they're bowling?"
"Yeah" I said helping him pull his pj top over his wet head. I combed through his wet hair and then let him go run free. I threw his wet school uniform into the hamper and hung up his towel on the hook. The whole bathroom still smelled like his strawberry shampoo. Yum. I turned off the light and walked back downstairs.
"Toby what kind of pizza do you want" Ash said bouncing my brother up and down on his knees.
"Cheese!" Ashton sure as hell is gonna be an awesome dad because he didn't grow up without one.
"Ok. I'm ordering" Luke said from the couch. He had his laptop open. I sat down in the love seat with Sam who was looking at his phone. I grabbed a blanket and pulled it over us. I cuddled into him looking at what he was looking at on his phone.
"I'll take that" I said taking his phone and turned on the Instagram camera. I stuck out my tongue out and took a picture with Sam.
@samevans:
It's raining is it not? - @saylorfitch
I posted the picture and rolled my eyes at all the #samlor comments.
"Stop hogging my best friend" Ryder said jumping onto Sam.
"Ah Ryder wants a cuddle buddy?"
"I want a cuddle buddy" he said opening his arms. Ahhhhhhh.
"You guys realize I'm probably contaminating you with sickly sickness"
"Yay sickly sickness" Ryder said. We were all cuddled into the love seat, me in the middle.
"Ryder I want your phone" I said sitting up. Everyone was engulfed in their own conversations.
"Why" he said pulling it out of his pocket.
"No reason" I said taking it and typing in his passcode.
"How did you-"
"Shhh" I said opening up his Instagram. I turned on his camera and leaned back on the two boys' chests. I took a picture and then added a very very special caption.

I threw his phone back at him and stood up at the sound of the door bell. I grabbed my phone and scrambled down stairs to the door. I opened vine and started a new one, swinging open the door.
"EYYYYYY PIZZZZZZZZZA" I screamed.
"This is always how I'm greeted isn't it Saylor" Gavin said.
"I love how we literally order pizza so often, we know each other by name" I said vining.
"We have a close relationship" he said.
"How much" Ryan said coming down the stairs.
"35" Gavin said.
"I'll just take that off your hands" I said taking the four boxes of pizza.
"Are you guys busy today. It seems like you would be because people don't feel like going out" Ryan said paying.
"Yeah. This is like my 6th run this hour."
"Well we're glad you ran because we have 6 hungry boys upstairs plus saylor and I. And we all know saylor can eat like two times as much pizza the rest of us can" Ryan said.
"Yeah yeah. Bye Gavin. See you in a few days" I said running up the stairs with Mavericks at my heels.
"I got pizza" I said opening the first box that said cheese. Four extra large boxes of pizza sounds fantastic to me. I grabbed a piece and sat down in my previous position. After we pretty much demolished all the pizza we watched a movie and Ryder and Sam went home.
"It's bedtime Toby" I said looking at the clock. He yawned and made his way upstairs to his room.
"Saylor will you read me a story" he said.
"Yeah. Go brush your teeth ok" he nodded and hopped into the bathroom. I helped him put on the sponge bob toothpaste and brush his teeth.
"Ok what do you wanna hear" I said sitting on the end of his bed.
"Goodnight moon" he said. I nodded and grabbed it. I started reading and my mind flashed back to that time when I enjoyed this book so much. That time was so much easier. By the time I was done reading, Toby was out. I tucked him in and kissed his light. Being the complete stalker I am, I watched him for a bit before turned off the light and closing his door softly.
"He sleeping?" Ryan said from where he was sitting on the counter looking at his phone.
"Mhm"
"Everyone decided to go to bed"
"Yeah" I said coughing. I took some medicine and said goodbye to Ryan before going back down stairs and brushing my teeth. I kicked off my shoes and plugged my phone in. I turned on Netflix on the wii and fell asleep watching some old episode of Psych.
