Turning over onto my stomach I lie on my pillow and get comfortable. My pillow them pulls me closer and makes a noise. Opening one eye I see a naked chest "Ahh!" I scream slapping a pillow on them.

"Good fucking morning to you to, princess" oh thank god it's just Reece.
Hold on.
Why the fuck is Reece in my bed?

"Sorry about that" I sit up and rub my eyes, looking down on myself I realise I am only wearing my shorts and a black bralette. Am arm wraps around my waist and I get pulled back against Reece's chest "what are you doing?" I ask.

"Shush. I need my beauty sleep" he mumbles.

****

Pushing the sliding door fully open I look over the backyard that takes you to the lake. It's very peaceful here which is why I like it a lot.

I love hearing the noise of the birds singing in the trees and the gentle rustle of the green trees as a warm breeze flows through them.

All so peaceful.

"Fuck off you little bitch!"

Peacefulness is over. 

Marcus screams and run out to the backyard with Leo chasing him, they both wrestle to the ground whilst Marcus continues screaming.

"It's like being with children" I mutter turning and walking to the kitchen.

"Tell me about it, they're at my house everyday" Hannah groans as she drinks her smoothie.

"Just wait till we get in the lake they will try to kill each other" Sydney says.

"Them on Fourth of July was terrifying. It's like they wanted to get themselves arrested" Ivy adds "Lexi isn't your birthday on Independence Day?"

"Yep" I nod, "I would have rather been with your guys on my birthday than where I was" getting cheated on your birthday really sucks.

"Where were you?"

"My parents planned me a surprise birthday party that was extremely formal. It was great for them. Horrible for me. My boyfriend at the time got me the best present of cheating on me" I say. My seventeenth birthday was the worst, I'm grateful that my parents went out of their way to plan something like that for me but I already had told them that I didn't want to have a party but they didn't listen to me. I'm pretty sure it was more of a business gala than my birthday party as my Dad invited a bunch of business men i and never met.
I spent most the party by myself.
It wasn't great.

"He cheated on you! On your birthday!" Ivy exclaims.

"Yep. I'm gonna kill him the second I see him" Sydney says and I honestly believe she will.

"I'll help hide the body" Hannah chimes in.

"What the fuck are you guys talking about" Easton and Reece appear at the doorway of the kitchen.

"You walked in at the wrong time" i say "anyway I'm going to go get changed" I back away from the kitchen and jog up the stairs. I hear the girls follow me upstairs and they go into their separate bedrooms.
