Hit me baby one more time (Danny Edge Fanfiction)

Chapter 19

MACIES POV

The room, being in the basement, is till dark when I wake up, but I check my phone to see that it's past noon. I'm the first one awake so I get to have the honor of waking everyone else up. I use the light from my phone to carefully walk over everyone, making sure not to step on any sleeping bodies, and plug a guitar into a speaker. I quickly flip on the lights and begin my performance.

"GOOD MORNING!" I strum the guitar and everyone jolts awake, except Garret who either has an extremely high tolerance for noise, or an extreme love for sleep. One way or the other, he's still sound asleep.

"What the fudge Macie?! I was about to save Obama from being crushed by a huge sack of potatoes in my dream and you ruined it!" Paul throws his hands into the air and shoots me an angry look. "Now who's gonna run our country? If all hell breaks loose I'm blaming you."

"Aw sorry hon." I blow him a kiss and unplug the guitar. I remove the strap from around my neck and carefully set the guitar back in its stand. I turn back around and move forward to tower over Garret for a second before sitting on him. "Wake up! It's a new year!" I slap his back and he shifts his head slightly.

"It's been a new year for 12 hours." He moans and tries to push me off his back.

"C'mon GareBear! Get up!" I jump up and down until he rolls over and I fall off. He slowly sits up and I swiftly return to my own spot before he's fully awake and has the chance to give me a noogie or some other form of punishment for disturbing his slumber. The doorbell rings and I assume that one of my parents will answer it so I don't bother to move. There's a few minutes of laughing at Garret as he tries to force his tired body to sit up, until my moms voice sounds through the house.

"Kids! Come eat!" We all stand up and stretch before walking up the stairs. I'm the first one to arrive in the kitchen and the first one to see the beautiful stack of pizzas sitting on the kitchen table. "I didn't want to make breakfast so I ordered you guys pizza. Is that okay?" We all simultaneously turn our heads and nod. I hop over to the table and open one of the boxes. We each grab a slice and sit down.

"Where's dad?" Garret asks with a mouthful of pizza.

"He's upstairs packing his suitcase." My mom replies while pouring herself a glass of orange juice.

"Oh ya. I forgot that you were leaving today." He remarks and takes another bite. Right at that moment, Dad walks into the kitchen and heads straight for the food.

"I thought I smelled pizza." He grins and grabs himself a piece.

"What happened to new year new me?" I sarcastically judge my father as he stuffs his face, "You said, and I quote, I'm gonna eat healthier, exercise regularly..."

"Macie not now, I'm enjoying this gorgeous slice of Italian beauty." I roll my eyes and Garret nods proudly at Dad who smiles back.

"Derek honey, did you finish packing?" Mom asks.

"Ya I think so." I can tell where Garret got his love for food. We slowly finish the pizzas and make conversation about random topics, varying from middle school health class to The Brady Bunch.

"What time are you kids supposed to be home?" Mom asks Danny, Paul and Teala who's mouths are all occupied by pizza.

"Sadly I need to help my mom clean the house, so I have to be home by two." Teala sighs.

"I should probably go home and say Happy New Years to my folks soon too." Paul adds and picks up his glass. Danny simply nods because he's too distracted by the pizza to speak.

"Well it's 1:30 now, so you might wanna hurry up to get home in time." Dad walks over to the sink and rinses the pizza grease off his fingers under the tap.

"No rush. I hate cleaning." Teala complains and I laugh. Teala's usually the kind of girl who's up for anything, until it come to tidying up. This adds to the list of reasons why we're friends.

When the pizza is gone, we set our dishes in the sink and head back downstairs for everybody to grab their stuff. I sit on the piano bench while Teala, Danny and Paul pack their bags and get dressed. I watch as Danny pulls a t-shirt over his head and remember that I'm wearing one of his shirts.

"Danny, do you want this back?" I ask gesturing towards the article of clothing. He glances over at me and smiles.

"You keep it. It looks cute on you." I feel myself blush and make eye contact with Teala who wiggles her eyebrow at me. Danny walks over and kisses me on the cheek, causing me to turn even more pink.

"Okay... You guys are literally couple goals." Teala throws her hands up in the air. "God, I'm so single." She shakes her head in disappointment and I laugh. She does as well as she swings her bag over her shoulder. "You guys ready to go?" She directs at Danny and Paul.

"Ya, I'm good." Paul nods at Danny who nods in agreement. "Let's go!" We all walk upstairs together to find my mom and dad still sitting in the kitchen.

"See you guys soon!" Mom waves.

"Bye Shea! Bye Derek!" They all answer in unison as we enter the living room and head towards the front door. A hand snakes around my waist and Danny pulls me into him.

"Bye Mace." He smiles and leans down to kiss me quickly.

"OMG! You guys are like tots the cutest! Lol! Brb! Gtg! Fml!" Garret fangirls, clearly mocking Teala. She punches him in the arm and the front door is opened.

"Bye!" Paul shouts as he walks outside.

"Bye!" My brother and I both reply. The door is closed behind them and I turn to walk back to the kitchen.

"Do you guys wanna have a movie day? I'll make popcorn." Mom offers and I make eye contact with Garret who's shrugs.

"Sure!" I reply. Both parents stand from their seats and part seperate ways to the living room and microwave.

"Let's watch Insidious." Garret suggests. I rapidly nod in agreement because of my love for horror movies. We make an entire list of what to watch on Netflix and settle down in the living room. Mom brings in the popcorn and I get comfortable in order to prepare myself for the next few movie filled hours, although family movies nights always end up being more like family talk through the movie and throw food at each other nights. Either way, I'm ready for entertainment.

When what I assume is probably the eighth or ninth episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ends, Dad checks his watch and announces that it's almost 7:00 and in order to make it through security and onto their flight by 8, they should leave now.

Garret and I help bring their bags downstairs and load into the car. Dad drives with Mom in the passenger seat and Garret and I in the back. Either Garret or I will have to drive home from the airport, but we choose to leave that argument until later.

The traffic is manageable enough to make it to the airport with time to spare. We all grab bags out of the trunk and set them down in a cart that Garret runs inside to grab.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much!" Mom opens her arms and we have a family group hug.

"Don't burn down the house now, ya hear?" Dad jokes and pokes my nose. We exchange more goodbyes and hugs until it's time for them to go through security and we have to leave.
"Bye!" Garret and I both shout one last time before starting on our way out.

"Bye!" They wave back and head through the door to security. We head back outside to where we left the car and have a quick match of rock, paper, scissors to see who will drive. Garret ends up winning so I run over to the other side and hop in the passenger seat before he can drive off without me. I'm not joking when I say that, he's done it before.
My eyes drag over the airport one last time as we drive away. I'm used to my parents traveling a lot, and everything's always been fine, but for some reason I can't rid myself of the nervous feeling brewing in my stomach. I assure myself that there's no need to worry and rest my chin on my hand. Everything will be fine.
