Stronger Than You Think

Chapter 12: All Nighter

It's 2:00 am when the boys walk into the theatre and we're halfway through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

The guys all sit on the floor and Newt grabs one of the many discarded popcorn bowels sitting on the coffee table.

I look around the room and see that Olive isn't paying any attention to anything but the screen. She seems to be making googly eyes at someone on the screen.

I turn to the screen and see Draco Malfoy.. AKA Tom Felton.. Walking towards Voldemort. "Hey Lex" I whisper shout to him. "Looks like you have some competition.

He laughs and points the finger at Draco when he appears on screen again. I check my watch. 2:45 and so far nobody has shown any sign of falling asleep.

So far we've eaten 6 Bowles of popcorn and finished 3 bottles if 2L fizz. I know it sounds impossible but we've watched both Percy Jackson, nearly all Harry Potters, The Mortal Instruments, The Fault In Our Stars and Divergent.

Cara's trying to piss me and Kendall off by not letting us watch The Hunger Games until all the other fandoms are finished.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We get to the end of Harry Potter and Kendall screams and takes the Xbox controller from beside Cara and searches for the first movie.

When she finds it she presses play and throws the remote back at Cara... who catches it with one hand without looking at her.

God, she has amazing reflexes. I grab a popcorn bowel off Tommy and she screams like a little girl.

"Shut the FUCK UP!" Kendall screams "THE GREATEST MOVIE - well maybe second greatest - is about to start!"

We all shut up. Nobody - not even me - comes in between Keni and The Hunger Games.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of both movies we all pull out our phones/iPods/iPads and go onto social media. It's 5:35 and I get off my chair and turn the light on.

Everyone groans. "Shut up" I say "I wanna take a photo. Everyone act gay" I say and the others pull stupid faces.

I edit it on photogrid and post it on Instagram captioning it:
5:35 am and still wide awake ✖💤

I tag the others and their devices go off. I leave the light on and leave the room. I enter the kitchen and walk to the pantry.

I pull out a pot and then pull the chocolate out of the fridge. I turn the stove on and let it heat. I open a draw and find a nice looking bowel.

I put the chocolate in the pot and stir it waiting for it to melt. I go to the fridge and pull out the strawberries and then I pull the Popsicle sticks out of the cupboard.

I begin to work on putting the Popsicle sticks into the strawberries when someone walks in. I look up and see Eden has changed into his PJ's. Consisting of basketball shorts and that's it.

I look at his sculpted chest and abs and find my mouth dropping open. "Like what you see?" he asks and smirks. I blush and look away focusing on the strawberries.

"What are you doing?" he asks and walks towards me. "Making my famous chocolate and strawberries" I say and turn back to the pot, stirring the chocolate again before turning the stove off.

"Mmmmmm" he moans and I laugh. "Are the others changed?" I ask and he nods. "Go and get dressed and I'll do this" he says and I nod leaving the kitchen.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I walk into the theatre ignoring the questions of "Where have you been?" and "Are you okay?". I give everyone a thumbs up and grab my bag then head off to the bath room.

I change into my pyjamas, consisting of a tank top and low hanging sweat pants. Thank The Lord I go to gym every second day.

I walk into the kitchen and stand at the doorway watching Eden easily put the Popsicle sticks into the strawberries.

He looks up and his eyes glaze over. "Like what you see?" I ask and he shakes himself out of the trance and focuses back on the strawberries.

I laugh and walk over to him and take over as he pours the chocolate into the bowel. He opens the draw and pulls out a tray and sticks the chocolate in the middle of it.

I arrange the strawberries onto the tray and take it to the theatre. Eden opens the door and I walk in. "Iris Lavender Finnigan's famous, strawberries and chocolate coming through" I announce and place it in the middle of the coffee table.

"YUMMMM!!" everyone shouts and I collect the rubbish off the table and take it into the kitchen, throwing the bowels into the sink and the bottles and pizza boxes in the bin.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Half an hour and twelve groaning teenagers later the sun begins to rise.

Olive jumps up and stands near the window. "OMG!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!" she screams and runs back to her chair and grabs her iPad and runs back to the window, opening it to take a photo.

She takes it and then walks back to her chair and sits down. We look at her intently and watch as she gives us a thumbs up and yells "DONE!".

Every electronic device in the room goes off. I look down at my iPod and see that @oliveisanolive has mentioned you in a comment.

Sunrises after all nighters 🌅. @edalovesbooks @andreasamrose @zeldatheelf @carabanana @irisgoddessoftherainbow @lexrichard @elijahclace @sky_h @tommy.henney @eden_sam @newtfromthemazerunner @tyismadeofsteele @kendallm4mellark

I like it and lean back into my recliner. Closing my eyes as the sun blares in through the window.
