Room Service

Chapter 11- It Wasnt Me!

Ashton bites his bottom lip and tenses his body.

"Well....I don't know what happened here, but it wasn't me!" He says.

Jamie and Brooke look around more.

Dirty dishes pile up in the sink, empty containers and boxes are scattered everywhere, a strange liquid drips onto the floor from the kitchen top, cereal and sugar is littered across the bench.

"Um....it's not too bad?" Brooke says with a concerned smile.

Ashton laughs. "Well if it's not too bad for you guys, you better get started." He says as he grabs a box of cookies from the pantry. He starts to walk off before saying, "If you guys need me I'll be in the lounge."

Jamie walks over to the kitchen bench and timidly picks up an empty cereal container, which seems to be soaked in some sort of juice.

"Ashton was definitely right about one thing, they're still a group of teenage boys." Jamie says as she dumps the box back on the bench.

Brooke laughs. "Well then, I suppose we better get started." Brooke says as she starts to unload her bucket of cleaning products.

"Okay, I'll start on the dishes and you can clean up the bench." Jamie says with a look of disgust as she scans the area.

"Okay." Brooke answers.

"One more thing, where is Calum and Michael?" Jamie asks in a sulky voice.

Brooke pauses from sorting her cleaning supplies. "That's a very good question." She says.

Jamie sighs. "Hopefully they'll come out of their little caves soon." She says with a giggle.

Brooke giggles along with her. After 5 minutes of preparing, they get to work. They wash, scrub, rinse, sweep and sort for at least a hour and a half before they're completely finished.

Jamie pulls off her cleaning gloves as she wipes the sweat off her forehead. She walks to the front of the kitchen and takes a look around. "Wow. It looks way better!" She says with a sense of achievement. Brooke comes to stand next to her. She smiles. "High five!" She says as she holds up her left hand. Jamie high fives her and smiles.

"We better tell Ashton." Jamie says. She laughs to herself a little, she couldn't believe she had just said a sentence like that.

"Okay." Brooke says as she puts all her equipment in her bucket. Jamie does the same.

They walk over to the lounge. Ashton is still inside, lying on the couch with the TV going.

"Um, we're done." Brooke says as they walk into the lounge.

Ashton sits up and yawns. "Great, I'll come and check."

He gets up from the couch and walks past them into the kitchen. He enters the kitchen and smiles. "Wow! You guys are awesome." He exclaims.

Jamie and Brooke smile. "Thanks."

"No, thank you!" He laughs.

They all start to laugh. Suddenly they stop as they see someone standing in the doorway.

The figure takes a step forward and Jamie can see that it's Calum.

"Who the hell are they?"
