5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 68

Ashton: Nicole...

Nicole: Yeah, I'm fine! Never been better.

Luke: Nicole, if something happened while we were gone, you know you can tell us.

Nicole: Of course not. Nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. Not a thing. I'm gonna go upstairs now. Bye!

Then I ran upstairs to my room and closed the door. I opened the dresser and saw Taylor. She asked, "Did they find out?" I replied, "No, but they were close and -- Hey, wait a minute."

Taylor: What?

Nicole: Weren't you wearing a blue top before?

Taylor: I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! It was so pretty and I just had to try it on.

Nicole: (laughs) It's okay. You can keep it if you want.

Taylor: Really?

Nicole: Yeah, of course. Thats what friends do.

Taylor: Aw, thanks. (comes out of dresser and hugs Nicole).

(Ashton knocks on door)

Nicole: And friends also help each other hide. Hide!

Taylor: (goes back into dresser and closes door)

(All three guys walk in)

Luke: Nicole, I don't think you're alright.

Nicole: But I am. There is really nothing you need to worry about.

Calum: Are you 100% sure?

Nicole: Yes, of course.

Calum: Okay then. (whispers to the guys) I think she might've had some more of that coffee.

(All the guys nod)

They all walked out and closed the door on their way. I opened the dresser again and this time, she was wearing a purple shirt. She said to me, "This one too?" I pulled her out and said, "Sure, whatever, take what you want. We just need to get you out of here." She then grabbed about 10 shirts from my dresser and put them in her backpack that she had brought. She zipped it up and I said, "Okay, I'm going to help you get out through the window." She widened her eyes and said, "No way, José! That's way too far down." Then I said, "That's why we're going to use this." I held up a rope and a pair of cleats and gave it to Taylor. "Wear these cleats for grip on the house. With the rope, you're going to hold onto one end I will hold the other. You're going to climb down the side of the house all the way to the backyard." She grabbed one end of the rope while I grabbed the other.

Taylor: Nicole, are you sure this is going to work?

Nicole: Nope. Just do it.

Taylor: I don't know, Nicole. But you know what? I'm going to do it anyway.

Nicole: Really? Why?

Taylor: Because you gave me all those shirts.

Nicole: Oh, okay. Lets do it now.

Taylor put on the cleats, opened the window and slowly put one leg out, then the other. With the cleats, she walked slowly down the house and I kept a close eye on her. Eventually, she got to the bottom and she waved goodbye to me. I waved back and then I threw her backpack down and she surprisingly caught it. She left and I closed the window. I plopped onto my bed with Cocoa and said to her, "Mission accomplished." I heard Calum yell from downstairs, "Nicole! Lunchtime!" I went downstairs and into the kitchen and Ashton said, "Nicole, before you eat, you need to take your medicine." I walked over to Ashton as he gave me a pill. But just as I was about to put the pill in my mouth, Calum ran over to me saying, "No, no, no, no, no, no," really fast. He took the pill out of my hand. Ashton asked, "Whoa, what's wrong, Calum?"

Calum: Since when did Nicole start taking pills?

Nicole: Since yesterday. Ashton said I could.

Ashton: There's nothing wrong with it.

Calum: She could choke.

Ashton: I think she can handle it.

Calum: Handle choking?

Ashton: No. Handle a pill.

Calum: (sighs) Fine, whatever.

Calum gave me the pill again and I ate it. After that, we all ate spaghetti for lunch.
