Giovanna's POV

I wake up on a cold surface, though this time there is no lingering scent of booze and sweat.

I look at my surroundings, noticing that we fell asleep on the cliff.

"Gordon, wake the fuck up." I whisper to Michael as his snores echo through the beach.

"Where am I?" Michael mumbles as he sits up.

I don't answer him, insteade I smack the back of his head and point out into the open sky.

"Look at the sunrise, it's so beautiful." I say as I lean back to take in the whole view.

"Not as beautiful as you of course." Michael says; smiling at me.

I smack him on the back of his head once again, "That one was for being way too cheesy."

"Remind me to never ever be romantic with you again." Michael mumbles as he rubs the back of his head.

I smile at him before turning my head towards the beach, "Michael, people will be here soon and I doubt they want their kids seeing two teenagers here all alone." I say.

Michael snickers at me before getting up, "I need help." I say; outstretching my hands towards him.

"Oh of course, princess." Michael says as he reaches for my hands, "Actually on second though," Michael says as he pulls his hands away from my own.

"no more romantic gestures, Gio." Michael states as he walks away; smirking at me.

"Of course that had to backfire on me." I mumble as I chase after Michael, "MICHAEL CLIFFORD DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YOU LEFT ME ALONE?" I yell to the running redhead.

"Oh I'm sorry, was that too fucking rude for you princess?" Michael jokes as he stops by the car.

"Be that way." I say as I open the door to get in (all by myself because Michael was too much of a smirking asshole to get in.)

That's when I realize our phones were in the car and we had slept on a beach...

Without telling the others. Oops.

"Michael if you don't get in, I will chop your balls off." I threaten as I switch over to the driver's seat.

"I love you too, Gio!" Michael says as he climbs into the backseat (sprawling over all three seats because that was what he called "cool".)

-

"WHERE WERE YOU? WE CALLED YOU SEVERAL TIMES, YOU DICKS." Stella yells as we enter the house as silently as we could.

"We thought you got mugged." Calum says as he follows after Stella.

"Kinda wish you got mugged so I could've had your rooms." Ashton says.

"What's with all the screaming?" Luke asks as he walks in with Emma; his arm wrapped over her shoulders protectively.

Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Calum's jaw tighten.

So I throw an apple at Calum in hopes that Emma didn't see him looking at her like that, looking at her like she was a prize to be won at the top of carnival booth.

She's been hurt before, I can't imagine her getting hurt again.

"Thanks for the apple, Gio." Calum says numbly as he takes a bite out of the red and somewhat bruised apple.

 ''Well Luke, seems to me that Gio and our beloved Michael went out on a supposed 'night on the town' without informing any of us about and also ignored us.'' Ashton says while getting comfy on the couch.
