chapter twenty one

"you are such a weirdo"

i hesitantly opened my eyes as i heard the sounds of birds chirping outside of my window. i tried to turn to face my clock but was restrained by something around my waist. i got startled before i realized it was george's arms. with a sigh of relief i tried to shift my neck so i could read the time on the clock 10:12 am. i twisted my head back around so i was facing george. i watched the slow rise and fall of his chest as he slept. i tried to think of a way to get out of bed without waking him as his arm stayed put on my side. taking a deep breath i put my hands in the spare sheets between us and slowly pushed, wiggling my way out of george's embrace. he stirred slightly at my movement and i flinched, hoping he wouldn't wake up. his eyes stayed shut as he moved his arms around the empty sheets. he slowly opened one of his eyes when he didn't feel anything next to him.

"sorry," i whispered, "i tried my best not to wake you up. good morning!" i smiled at him and he groaned into the pillow.

"come back. why are you up anyway? we slept for like five hours." he said as he stretched his arms up toward my headboard.

"that's enough to get me through today." i said winking to him as i walked out of my room to go get breakfast. i walked down to see bella, tommy, and val sitting on the couch. eleanor was in the shower and i assumed nick and clay were upstairs as well.

"good morning y/n!" bella said as i plopped down on the couch next to val.

"where's bitchnotfound?" asked tommy, "i didn't find him in his room this morning." my face started burning when i realized everyone knew he was in my room last night. i tried to play it off.

"he's on his way down. he didn't want to get up, as always." i said sounding as calm about it as i could, "where are nick and clay?" i asked trying my best to change the subject.

"they went to get breakfast i'm pretty sure. we got a few different kinds of bagels and bagel sandwiches. they should be on their way home now." val said as she picked up her phone to look at the time. i nodded as eleanor came down the stairs and sat on the other side of val. a few minutes later george groggily came down the stairs.

"well there he is! the man of the hour!" tommy said as we all laughed.

"shut it innit." george said as he sat down next me, lying his head on the pillow and closing his eyes. i softly pushed on his shoulder, causing his eyes to open.

"don't fall asleep again, we know how long it takes you to get up." i said as everyone agreed with me. he slowly brought his body into an upright position, annoyance showing on his face. once everyone was enthralled with a different conversation, i leaned in close to him and whispered in his ear,

"i thought last night that you 'won't be tired.'"

"yeah...i lied." he whispered back and i laughed at the sudden abruptness in his answer. i was about to continue the conversation when nick and clay walked through the door, holding bags filled with bagels. i stood and walked over to the door to grab a bag or two to help them out. we brought everything to the kitchen and set it up so everyone knew where the food they wanted was. i grabbed half a bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich for breakfast and pulled out the kitchen chair to sit at the island as everyone else came in to grab their food. i looked over to see val laughing at something clay had said. i raised my eyebrows at her and she gave me a glare back. i mouthed a sorry and went back to my food.

"are we doing anything special today before the picnic?" i asked nick as i took a bite out of my sandwich. he looked around at everyone else before shrugging.

"i don't have anything in mind. we can just chill here for the day." he responded and i nodded in response.

after finishing breakfast i walked upstairs and got changed into a simple outfit because i was going shopping bella, eleanor, and val to find outfits for tonight. we all met up in the living room a few minutes later and walked out to driveway. we were taking clay's car due to the fact i begged him to let us if i promised not to crash it. i put the mall address into the gps and backed out of the driveway. around twenty minutes later we pulled into the parking garage of the mall and found a spot a few steps away from the doors. i turned off the car and we all got out, making our way into the stores. i looked at one of the maps of the mall and found the store we were looking for. we headed up the escalator to the third floor, laughing as we went up. a few minutes later i stepped off and took a right, heading towards the storefront. as we walked into the store, i was in awe of all the beautiful clothes that lined the racks.
