My eyes fluttered open as I heard a few conversations. I tried to move but groaned in pain as my back ached.

"She's awake." A voice which sounded like racetracks announced.

"Yeah I am." I slowly sat up as I winced. I found that mush put a hand on my upper back, helping up, "Thanks." He nodded in response.

"You ain't looking too good." Race spoke up making me smile.

"I don't feel too good either." Stretching out a little, I realized the crowd that was formed around me, "What time is it?"

"About two."

"Two?! You guys should have gotten me up." Pulling the blankets off me I slowly got up falling back down.

Skittery sighed walking forward, "Jack said he would soak us if we woke you up."

My face felt warm after hearing his name. This is wrong, I can't think of him like that.

"Seems to me you two are pretty close by the way we caught you two sleeping this morning." Race and a few others laughed hitting each other.

Watching in annoyance skittery brought the back of his hand to his forehead, beaming up at the ceiling, "Oh Jack I'm just so cold! What ever will I do?" The boys laughed making me roll my eyes.

"It's okay Y/n. I will keep you warm." Mush pulled Skittery into his arms making the boys laugh.

"Gag me." I sneered.

These boys are so embarrassing. When will they ever grow up?

"Oh come on Y/n, you know you liked it." Mush tried lightening the mood.

"By the looks of it this morning. Our boy Jack woke up all flustered at red. I'm sure he feels the same."

"Yeah yeah." Rolling my eyes I hear the door open. Looking, there stood Jack with David and Les.

"You're awake!" Les ran over.

"Hi Les." I ruffled his hair.

"Can I sit with you?"

"No Les, she's hurt." David chimed in.

I smiled at David and Jack, "It's okay. Come on up Les."

He smiled as I helped him onto the bed. Sitting beside me he gently hugged me.

"I missed you. It's boring when you aren't selling papers with us." He shrugged looking a tad bit upset.

"I know. Soon I'll be back up and running with you."

I heard a groan, "Come on, how come he gets all your attention?" A boy spoke up.

"Why? You want mine?" I joked.
