Always

Chapter 9

LISSA

When I woke up at 7 I knew I was screwed. I was exhausted from yesterday. It had been so fun but completely draining. I slowly got off my bed without disturbing Niall, Mae, or Harry. I didn't know how we all had crammed onto their. Then I had Louis, Perrie, Zayn, Kat, and Dakota to walk around. It was basically a mine field. They would be furious with me waking them up I accidentally nudged Dakota and she groaned and hit my leg hard in her sleep. She grumbled about wanting some ice cream and then returned to sleep. I slightly chuckled, but didn't have much time to laugh after I reacted to her hitting my leg and I backing up in to Louis.

I hit his head and he woke up. He looked up at me with tired and mad eyes. He got up slowly and then tackled me. With and oomph we fell to the ground without any grace. Louis laughed quietly as I was completely covered by Louis' fat butt.

"Louis get you fat arse off of me!" I whisper-yelled. Louis laughed and made a fake puting face. I heard Niall groan from my bed. I had successfully woke up 2 people... on accident. I pushed Louis away from me and grabbed some clothes. In the bathroom I took a shower. When I got out I rung my wet hair out. I looked for a towel. Then I realized I didn't have one. I could put on my clothes sopping wet, but I liked what I had picked out and didn't want them to get wet. I groan and opened the door to a small slit.

I yelled out, "Can some one get me a towel. There are some by the dryer." At this point I was very embarrassed. Finally, Niall came up to me with a warm towel. I was freezing now and quickly grabbed it and shut the door. I dried myself off and put on the workout cropped blue leggings and black sports bra I had picked out. Sadly, I forgot to bring a shirt. I just shrugged and told myself to think of how many times I'd just worn a sports bra to class.

I walked out of the bathroom to get some blushing guys' faces look away from me.

"Woah, ok Lissa we know this is your house and all, but you have guests. And girlfriends that are getting very jealous of you right now." Louis said.

I just laughed and said, "My house my clothes, and besides I bet you see you girlfriends in sports bras all the time." I nod to Kat, Dakota, and Perrie. Harry is awkwardly standing behind everyone... next to Mae. I almost forgot that Mae had implied that they had kissed. So they were probably dating now. I would have to ask them.

"I say we eat and get the hell out of here." I walk to the kitchen while saying so. Everyone follows me without complaining. Niall beats me there. I take out everything needed to make instant pancakes. I know how to make pancakes from scratch, but I haven't cooked without something packaged or processed since cooking brought back too many painful memories. People used to tell me that going through that would help me get over it. It never did.

No one was disappointed that the pancakes were instant mix, because they were all hungry and it tasted pretty much the same. Once everyone had had 3 pancakes, besides Niall who ate 6, we headed in our own directions. Three cars belonging to Niall, Harry, and Mae followed behind me. I got out my phone and went to Mae and I's text conversation. I tapped the mic button on the keyboard.

I said, "Hey just making sure, you and and Harry are dating now right?" I tapped the send button and waited for her to respond as we drove along. I turned the radio up. I didn't like any of the stations so I just turned it off. Then I got a text from Mae. I saw her car swerve a tad when I got the message. She probably wasn't as good at multitasking.

"Yeah! He's amazing. I thought you already knew." she said in the text. I decided texting her would just make her more accident prone so I called her. She answered.

"I decided it'd be better to call. And I had an idea, just verifying. I'm usually oblivious or wrong about people dating or not so.." I said to Mae. She laughed.
