4. Shmanderz is hereeeee!
5. Notice there was no number two? :D
LET'S GET STARTED.
----------------------------------
The way I loved you, Nate.
"That has to have been the best food I've had in awhile," Shane rubbed his stomach as we all laughed. We had just finished breakfast at Ihop and were currently headed to Jason's rented Jeep.
"I CALL SHOTGUN," Shane screamed and ran to the car like an idiot. He's lucky I love him, I thought to myself. Once the rest of us reached the car I sat in the back next to Nate, Lilly claimed his other side and took his hand. Suddenly, I felt sick to my stomach. To distract myself I looked through the window. For the first time I was able to actually take a look at our surroundings, a thin coat of snow had fallen on the ground. Though there was green spots of grass still viewable, I was mesmerized by Tennessee's beauty. My gaze drifted toward the sky where snow was softly making it's way to Earth's surface. I felt the corners of my mouth pull up and looked away from the window.
"Shane, turn it to a Christmas station," Lilly jumped excitedly in her seat. I laughed as "Rockin around a Christmas tree" filled the car.
"Sing along everyone," Shane said in his 'Santa Claus voice'. I'm pretty sure we were all scared, but everyone sang along anyway. Next thing I know, we're all dancing in our seats and singing in some type of object, besides Jason of course. The song ended as we all sang off key, I clutched my sides from laughing so hard.
"I knew there was a reason I kept you guys as friends," I wiped away the tears that had leaked from my eyes. Everyone faked laughed which brought on another round of giggling like hyenas.
"Alright guys, calm down, I'm sure Robby would rather not have crazy teens in his house," Jason said as he pulled up to my home. Before he put the car into park, I was out the door, running towards my dad. He met me halfway up the driveway and pulled me into a hard-to-breath hug.
"Missed you Smiley," he muttered in my ear. I smiled and loosened my grip, causing him to let go of me.
"I better go get my bags," he nodded and I jogged back to the jeep. I looked into the back and noticed there were no more bags, "Hey do you guys kno-" I stopped as soon as I saw Nate Gray with two extra bags.
"Nevermind," I laughed and took the pink plaid suitcases from him, "thanks."
He nodded and continued to walk into the white, two story house. I bit my lip, why isn't he talking to me?, I thought to myself as I jogged to catch up to him, "Bet you anything I can beat you in a snow fight." I laughed I saw him face me with his competitive look.
"You're on," He half smiled, "The war will began once we finish unpacking." I smirked as we walked through the French doors.
"Okay, Lilly and I will bunk in my room, you guys can take Jackson's old room," I lead them up the stairs, "Bathroom is to your right, kitchen downstairs on your left, and this is your stop." I kicked open the door to reveal two pairs of faded blue bunk beds. The walls were painted forest green, and the carpet was a shade of tan.
"Jackson brought a lot of friends home," I explained as I looked around, "Well, we'll leave you guys to pack, come on Lil."
I sat down one of my suitcases and softly closed the door behind me. Grabbing the handle again, I half ran to my room. Lilly had beat me there and was jumping on my bed. I placed my luggage to the side and looked around. Nothing had changed really, My walls were still a hot pink, my bed was still mid evil looking, the TV was supported above my dresser, and my pictures were still tacked everywhere.
"Good to be home."
---------------------
"I CALL CAPTAIN," I screamed while running out the door and putting on gloves. Emily and I had stayed in my room talking for about 30 minutes, "Whoa, looks like they've already built forts." I laughed and adjusted my beanie.
"Fine, but I'm the other captain," Nate said while crawling out from the igloo.
"Oh, looks like a battle is raging out here, mind if I join," I turned around to see a brown headed girl.
"SHMANDERZ!" I exclaimed and engulfed her into a bone crushing hug.
"SHMILERZ!"
"Shmilerz….?" Kevin looked around, as if expecting someone to know what the heck was going on.
Laughing I turned around, "Guys this is Many Jaron." I pointed everyone out, as if they needed an introduction.
"Oh yeah, I remember you, you're from the you tube videos, right?"
"Yes, Jason," I shook my head, "let's start the snowball fight shall we?"
Nate and I walked in front of everybody and picked our teams.
"Yo, Shane, getcha butt over here," Nate rubbed his hands together, trying to get some warmth and nodded to his side. I resisted the urge to hold Nate's hands in my own. Shane Gray, your boyfriend, remember?! I took a deep breath and muttered Lilly's name.
"You know what, I'm sick of it always being the three bros, Mandy come be on our team," Mandy shrugged and high fived the two boys.
"JASEY!" I laughed as he came to join us.
"GROUP HUDDLES!" Lilly exclaimed. The three of us gathered around in a small group.
"Alright, I get Nate, this is one battle I have to win against him," Laughing I ran in place and looked at Jason, "Who do you want?"
"Mandy," he chuckled and looked at Lilly.
"YES! I get Shane, now I have a reason to shove snowballs up his nose," I rolled my eyes.
"err…team….Jasmilly on three."
"Jasmilly?" Kevin and Emily looked at me as if I was insane.
"Jason, Miley, and Emily put together…duh," Nodding like they understood, they put their hands in the middle, I followed and placed mine on top.
"one two three Jasmilly"
I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous we sounded but ran behind a pile of snow and grabbed a handful, anyway. Shaping it nicely I looked at Nate.
"It's on," I said to myself and then yelled, "SNOW FIGHT!"
Balls of snow where flying across the air, landing in unpleasant places. My first one hit Nate in the head, which I felt bad about until he hit me in the stomach. Rolling across the ground like a secret agent, I threw one and managed to hit his shoulder. I covered my mouth and laughed. I was nearly laying down until one nailed me right in the eye.
"CHEATER," I accused and threw one back at him, "I wasn't ready."
"All's fair in love and war baby," He yelled back jokingly. Rolling my eyes I started to shape another snowball.
"I'M HIT, UGH, THE PAIN, THE HORROR, I'M SLOWLY FACING DEATH," Shocked, I looked over to see Shane dramatically 'dying'. Lilly was currently doing a happy dance, which I was laughing about until I was knocked down by a humongous ball of snow.
"NOT COOL GRAY," I screamed and joined Shane in the middle. He was laying in an awkward position and had his tongue hanging out of his mouth, "just don't lick the yellow snow Shaney." I poked him and laughed.
"Hasn't your mommy ever told you that you aren't suppose to poke a dead person?" He raised his head and looked at me.
"Hmm, possibly, but I think you should remind me why," His lips pulled up into a smirk before he pressed them to mine.
"Because, one kiss from a dead person, and you're their slave for life," I snapped my fingers.
"Darn."
I returned my attention to the fight which was slowly coming to an end.
"COME ON JASON, YOU AREN'T GONNA LET A GIRL BEAT YOU ARE YOU?"
"MANDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS."
"JASON! NO NOT LIKE THAT!"
I shook my head. Nate and Lilly were playfully yelling at their team mates.
"I give up, Jason you win!"
"What?"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"TEAM JASILLY UNDEFEATED!" I laughed and jumped on Jason, giving him a big hug. Lilly did the same once my feet were back on the ground.
"Good game, I still beat you though," Nate smirked.
"You so did not!"
"did too!"
"did not!"
"did too!"
"okay, maybe you did, but I bet you can't make a Christmas tree look pretty," I crossed my arms.
He pushed his eyebrows together, "why would I want to do that?"
"Because…..I'll…..give you five bucks!" He pondered it for a minute.
"Deal," he grabbed my hand and gave it a firm shake.
"Hey guys, let's go help Nate decorate a Christmas tree." I laughed, "I'm not that mean Gray, of course we're going to help you." I answered his question before it came out of his mouth.
"You know me too well," He then gave me the smile that makes my heart flutter.
-----------------------------------
Lilly, Mandy, and I were currently sitting on the couch in our pajamas looking through the ornaments.
"ugh, where are the boys with the lights," Lilly threw her head back and groaned. Mandy shrugged and closed her eyes.
"I don't know but I'm tired," Lilly agreed and rested her head on Mandy's shoulder. Laughing quietly, I got up.
"I'm going to go see what's taking so long," they both muttered an okay and soon fell asleep. Jogging up the stairs I walked down the hall to the storage room. The room looked oddly empty and it took me awhile to notice why.
"Where did Shane and Jason go?" I asked Nate.
"They gave up five minutes after entering the room and went to bed," laughing I walked over to him.
"Lilly and Mandy are asleep too, I guess it's just you and me now," he smiled.
"The things I do for five dollars."
I couldn't help but chuckle. I started rummaging through the boxes.
Old clothes, old books, candles, pencils, ….sock monkeys?
"Found 'em," Nate Exclaimed and pulled the box out of the room. I followed close behind and shut the door.
"Ready to decorate?"
"I guess," he sighed, "Alright this box is pretty big so grab one end and I'll get the other."
I nodded and took the side closest to me, he grabbed the opposite side and we lifted.
"I'll go down first," Nate mumbled. Matching his pace, we made it down the stairs in no time. We started pulling out lights and plugged them in to see if they worked. Once we had two sets of Christmas lights, we started putting them on the tree.
"Alright, now plug this one to the other one," I nodded and started walking to the other set of lights. I wasn't aware of the box of ornaments in front of me, which I tripped over. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist, catching me before I made a face plant.
"You okay, Mi?" Nate Breathed.
"Yeah," I blushed, "thanks." He nodded and I connected the two lights. Nate started going round the tree and putting lights on, which I had to laugh at.
"What?" Nate paused with his arms halfway up the tree.
"Nothing, just the look you get when you concentrate," I shook my head and walked over to help him. He simply rolled his eyes and proceeded to put the lights up.
"Ready to hang up the ornaments?" I nodded and went to get the box. It took us about twenty minutes to finish but pretty soon, we were piled up on my bed watching Saw two.
"There people are so dumb," Nate shook and threw his head back, "I mean who in their right mind would throw someone else in a hole filled with needles?"
I looked at him like he was crazy, "HELLO! They're desperate they'll do anything to escape."
He rolled his eyes but let it drop.
"What time is it?"
"12:28," I said quietly, knowing he'd say he needs to go to bed, "Will you stay….in my room tonight?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"Mi, I don't know if-" he started.
"Just for tonight, like we use to, plus I don't want to be alone especially after watching that movie," I looked at him with hope and shivered.
He sighed, "just for tonight." He joined me under the covers and I snuggled up to his side. Nate turned the TV off and wrapped his arms around me.
"Goodnight, Nate," I muttered.
"Night Miley, sweet dreams," I wanted to say I love you, but I decided against it. My eyes started to get heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
Without even thinking about Shane, nothing bad about that…..right?
-------------------------
Oh whats gonna happen?! :D
