SATURDAY

"Hey, J, wake up." I feel a slight tugging at my arm. I slowly open my eyes to see Jason standing over me. I give him a weak smile and prop my elbows up so they can support my upper half.

"What's up JayJay?" I ask, wondering why I had to get up.

"There are people at the door, one of them is Calum." He explains

"Oh! Those people are just my friends. Tell them to come up to my room." I lay back down, burying my face into my pillows, and the familiar stench of my morning breath takes over a small area of my pillow. Pretty soon I hear voices and footsteps come closer and closer to my bedroom before I hear the door open.

"What do you want?" I ask, turning over and sitting up, Turing my hair up into a ponytail because I bet you that my hair is a disgusting mess right now.

"We were bored and we thought that you could entertain us" Ashton says, flopping onto my bed.

"Nice to know I'm here for your entertainment" I chuckle, crossing my legs under my blanket at slumping over.

"Yup, now sing us a song!" Michael cheers.

"Why?" I laugh.

"Because we're bored and I want to hear you sing" Michael pouts, causing me to laugh a little harder.

"Ok fine, get my guitar and keyboard" They scramble to their feet, grabbing what I requested for. I bend over the end of my bed, pulling out a box of songs I wrote. The boys hand me over my things and sit in a small circle around me on my bed.

"Ok, choose one song you guys want me to sing." I plop the box in the middle, watching them pull out the songs and look through them, determining what song they want. Eventually they handed me a sheet of paper.

"Really?? This song?" I ask, looking up from the paper to look at them.

"Yeah, now sing!" Calum exclaims.

"Ok, ok, here we go" I chuckle, playing a track on my keyboard and begin singing.

"It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, uh uh, uh uh.
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh.

Yeah,
We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical.
Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time

Uh oh!
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh

It seems like one of those nights,
This place is too crowded.
Too many cool kids, uh uh, uh uh (who's Taylor Swift anyway, ew?)
It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping.

Yeah,
We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical.
Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time

Uh oh! (hey!)
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright (alright)
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh)
22, ooh-ooh
I don't know about you
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh

It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene.
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping.
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news.
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ye-e-e-e-eah, hey
I don't know about you (I don't know about you)
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me (you don't know about me)
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh
22, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
22, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news,
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you."

I look up, smiling.

"That was great!" They all tackle me into a hug.

"Ahhh, Jason help!" I scream as they start to tickle me. Soon I hear a door open.

"You called?" I hear Jason's voice

"Jason!! Help me!!" I shout through laughs.

"Why should I?" He asks, a smirk dancing across his lips.

"I-if you d-don't I'll tell d-d-dad a-about the day y-you skipped s-school"

"Hey, guys off my sister!" He says, the boys getting off of me.

"Smart move" I turn to face Jason, smirking.

"Whatever" He huffs, leaving the room.

"Hey, want to build a fort and watch a movie?" I ask the boys.

"Yeah!" Ash, Michael and Calum shout in unison, sounding like little 5 year olds. I turn to face Luke.

"Lucas, you up for it?"

"Yeah, why not?" He smiles brightly, making my stomach do flips.

"Great, now let's make this fort!" We all get up and start building it.
~~~~~
We finished building the fort, 2 hours later. We strung up lights, and picked up my tv, putting it in the fort. Thank god mom got me a wireless TV. For about 6 hours we watched a verity of movies from mean girls to San Andreas all the way to Insidious chapter 3 and Poltergeist. Through out most of the movies I noticed Luke staring at me, and Calum snapping him back to reality. We're now watching Into The Storm, and I look over to see Calum whispering to Luke before he says,

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go talk to Luke for a second." They both get up and leave the fort, the. The room. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, but thought nothing of it and turned back to the movie.

"Hey guys, I'm going to get a drink" I say about 2 minutes after Calum and Luke left. I get up and leave the room, passing the bathroom, only to hear Calum and Luke talking. I couldn't help but listen in.

"...Come on dude, just ask her out!" I hear Calum say. My face falls.

'Luke likes someone else' I think. My heart shatters. I knew not to fall for him, but I did. I wanted to cry, but I fought back the tears and continued to listen.

"But what if Jacy doesn't like me?!" Luke exclaims. Then it sinks in.

'Luke likes me' I smile, wanting so badly to walk in and tell him that I like him too.

"Luke! I'm telling you that she likes you-" Calum gets cut off.

"Buts that the thing! She might like me too, but I fucking love her" Luke shouts.

'I love you too'
