Attack of the Couples

Chapter 23

Jenna’s POV

“Now,” I say in the silent elevator as we reach Anne’s floor. “Let’s go see Darth Vader.”

The tension that Cameron and Zayn had built up broke at that moment as they both laughed, but then they remembered who they were there in the elevator with and got quiet again. You see, they hadn’t gotten over the whole ‘we both love Jenna thing’. Cameron, as the one I picked, didn’t trus tZayn to be with me all too much because he was afraid that Zayn would make me change my mind. Zayn, on the other hand, wasn’t all too chummy with Cameron seeing that I chose him and must have felt that he was going to rub it in in some way. Of course, neither had said anything like that, but I could just tell.

We start to walk down the hall when I see a familiar face. “Isn’t that Dune?” Zayn asks, reading my mind.

“Yeah, it is,” I say, and we all look at him, carrying an order of room service to a room a bit down the hall from Anne’s room.

“Hey, Dune!” Cameron calls out. Dune looks up and puts up a finger to say he’d be a moment, knocks on the door, and then hands the tray to the guest.

“Have a nice day and call the front desk if you need anything,” he says as he pockets his tip and walks over to us. “May I help you?”

“Dude, it’s us,” Cameron says.

“Who?”

“Anne’s friends,” I say, rolling my eyes.

Sure enough, he gets it. “Oh, yeah! I remember you guys now.”

“Liar,” Zayn mumbles, and I laugh and hit his arm. Cameron looks a bit mad but then shrugs it off once he sees I was looking.

“How is Anne?” Dune smiles sheepishly. “I haven’t seen her in a while.”

“If you count being locked in her room being so depressed that she’s in denial good, then she’s fine,” I say.

“What?” He says, looking upset. “Why is she depressed?”

“Apparently she had a fight with Liam but won’t tell us overwhat,” Zayn says.

“Liam? You mean she had a boyfriend?” He asks, seeming more excited than upset.

“Yeah. You should go and see her,” Cameron laughs. “That’s where we are heading now.”

“Really?” He asks,and then looks down to straighten his shirt and mess up his hair a bit. We all stifle a laugh. “Ok.”

Silently, the four of us walk toward Anne’s room and knock. I wasn’t sure if I had entire believed that Anne was a bucket of sunshine today, so I was a bit nervous.

“One Second!” A cheery voice calls through the door, right on cue. I must have looked shocked when Anne answered the door, but she didn’t show it. “Hey guys!” She says, holding the door open. “Please come in… Dune! Great to see you.”

We walk in and she rushes back to her bed and picks up her cell. “Hey, Greg. It was nice to talk to you again, but I got company. Bye!” She says.

“Who was that?” I ask.

“Cute guy I met on the plane over,” she laughs.

“You never skip a beat, do you?” I laugh, then Cameron and Zayn do, and Dune looks completely out of place.

“Nope,” she winks. “Oh, where are my manners! Sit, sit!” She says, patting her bed. Dune hurries over to her side and sits basically as close to her as possible without sitting on her lap. The rest of us chuckle and sit on the floor as Anne hits the ‘On’ button on the DVD player and a movie starts.

Sam’s POV

I watch as Nick pulls Amanda’s arm and they leave the building. I smile at them and turn back to Cam, Louis, and Sarah.

“They’re so getting married,” I say with a giggle.

“No kidding,” Sarah laughs.

“Do you understand them?” Cam asks Lou.

“Not at all,” Lou admits, and then the four of us break off laughing.

We spend about two hours just talking, and when Louis and Sarah kissed we teased and they did the same when Cam and I kissed. I smile as Louis continues to yell at Cam for ‘trying to suck off my face’, thinking back to that time when we would go back to normal between the four of us. But, if I did say so myself, things had gotten better.

Then, I hear the elevator ding open and Jenna, Cameron, and Zayn walk out. “We’re hungry,” Cameron admits. “and didn’t want room service.”

“Someone else want to baby sit her in a bit?” Cameron asks.

“In a bit?” Sarah asks.

“Yeah, Dune’s in there with her now.”

“What?” Cam asks with a laugh. I look over at Rachel to see if she was hearing this, but it seemed like it was only the seven of us in this conversation.

“We ran into Dune and hooked the two up,” Zayn said with a wink.

“Oooh. That sounds like fun,” Louis says.

“Wanna go see if they’re making out yet?” Sarah giggles, poking his stomach.

“You bet… want to come?” He says, looking at me and Cam.

“Want to?” he asks me.

“Why not?” I ask, and then yell at Rachel, “We’re going to go check on Anne.”

“Ok!”

Then, the four of us starts for the elevator, but Louis catches my arm.

“Can I talk to you, Sam?” He asks in a whisper.
