Chapter 3 - IKEA
"Was that your dad?" Simon and the rest came through after locking the door securely.
Slowly shaking my head, I played with the sleeves of Harrys' blue hoodie, since it was too big for me I must look weird in it, not that I didn't appreciate it. "Yea…I-I'm sorry I brought trouble" I apologised hoping they wouldn't hate me or throw me out because of this.
"Hey, it's not your fault, he's an asshole" Vik smiled walking closer to pat my shoulder, I smiled glad he was so cheerful in this situation. "We'll make sure if he turns up again, we'll call the police. He has no right taking you anywhere" He added ruffling my hair making me giggle and nod.
"Thanks", seeing the rest with small smiles on their face, I was more than relieved to not have ruined the mood.
"Well I have to finish recording so I'll catch you later" Tobi waved over before disappearing up the stairs, Simon, Vik and Josh following after him.
"Man, what a dick" JJ scratched the back of his head with a chuckle, obvious irritation in his voice.
"I know, I had to grow up with him" I shrugged, it couldn't help it.
"At least you didn't turn out like him" Ethan laughed knocking against my side with a grin.
"Yea…" At least.
After finishing the Fifa match, everyone decided to go up to sleep, or edit their videos. Harry had a spot on the couch to sleep since he didn't live at the Sidemen house. "Night" I waved at him as I headed out the door, following Ethan and JJ up to the bedrooms.
That night I hardly slept, I don't know what it was. Fear, excitement, dread or happiness? There were all running through my head at the same time. Sure, the sleeping bag wasn't all that comfortable, but it was better than being at ho-…my old home, hell more like. I think the only thing I would miss would be my bed and maybe even my brother. When he was there, life was easier since the attention of my parents would be set on him.
Smiling up at the ceiling, I managed to fall asleep at around five in the morning, my eyes heavy and burning for sleep.
Waking up from the sunlight shining through a gap in blind hanging over the window, I groaned and rolled over checking my mp4 for the time. 10:34, "Great" that was early for me to get up. Ugh. I guessed no one else would be awake, Maybe Vik? I was glad I wasn't the only lazy one in the house now. Sitting up after 5 minutes of debating if I should get up, I stretched and rubbed my eyes. Was I still wearing Harrys' hoodie?
Looking down I blinked, no wonder I was melting all night. Pulling it off, I changed into some new jeans and my Godzilla t-shirt I loved. After washing my face, I put minimal make up on to cover my disgusting face. Much better. I then went to the living room, silently placing the blue hoodie besides Harrys' sleeping form, he looked like a 13 year old when sleeping, aww.
"hmmm" Thinking, I got an idea and moved to the kitchen getting eggs, milk and some sliced bread. I'd cook for them, perfect. It was the least I could do to thank them. Scrambling the egg and some milk together with salt and pepper. I added some oil into a pan and waited until it was heated before dipping my bread into the mix and gently laying it into the pan, frying either side until they were brown. I managed to get 5 slices done and onto a plate before I heard footsteps behind me.
"Breakfast?" Josh yawned, Vik behind him as they sat down on the stools by the counter top table.
"Y-Yea, I'm known as the master of breakfasts, it's French toast" I smiled placing the plate of bread in front of them before continuing to cook more.
"Is Harry still sleeping?" Vik asked glancing at the dark living room, I nodded and chuckled as he looked at me in question.
"I'm gonna wake him up" Grinning, Josh stood up and got some squirty cream from the fridge before slowly walking to the couch. I could see his plan and tried to contain my giggled, Vik covering his mouth across from me.
"Oi, Harry!" Josh yelled before spraying him with the cream, covering his face as Harry jumped up in fright.
"What the fuck, Josh?!" Harry wiped the cream off waving his arms around in anger. I laughed with Vik while Josh ran away Harry chasing him.
"Is this normal?" I asked Vik as he shook his head and chewed on the eggy bread.
"Everyday" He answered putting some more ketchup onto the bread.
Hearing more footsteps, JJ, Simon, Ethan and Tobi joined us in the kitchen, Sitting down and taking some bread for themselves. "It's good!" JJ nodded impressed while the others agreed silently.
I finished up the rest of the loaf and plated it up before I put the dishes into the sink to wash after the pan had cooled down.
"The breakfast queen" I joked and bowed, before sitting down on a stood between Tobi and Ethan. Eating the last sliced left over with some ketchup I was glad I could do something for them.
"Oh yea, we're going to IKEA today, you wanna come?" JJ asked putting his plate away. They wanted me to come with them? Wow.
Giving him a nod I smiled "Having fun getting lost in the IKEA maze? Any day" I chuckled at the memories of looking around the show rooms and pretending I lived there.
"Good, so you can decide on your bed and cupboard" wait, they were buying me furniture?
"For me?" I asked in shock.
"Who else, we've all got a bed" Josh gave me a raised eyebrow before Harry interrupted.
"What about me?!" He asked offended.
"You're lucky we put up with you" Vik pushed his side while the others laughed.
After everyone got ready, we finally divided into cars, Tobi going with JJ in his car while me, Simon, Josh, Ethan, Vik, Harry squeezed into another car. Since there was one seat to few I had to kind of sit on/between Harrys' and Viks' knees. A little awkward, but it was funny since at every bump I nearly got a concussion and we laughed about it.
"So hi guys, today the Sidemen are going to IKEA" Simon announced suddenly, his camera up and recoding all of us while we laughed. I froze, unsure what to do and looked out the window past Harry.
"Heyyyy!" Ethan and Vik waved before Harry tried to tickle my side.
"This is Cheyenne, new friend" Harry announced while I laughed and pushed him away.
"Sup" I waved before Simon turned the camera off and chuckled.
"Hope you're okay with being on YouTube and being asked questions cos the fans are gonna talk" Simon glanced at me through the mirror and grinned while Ethan laughed.
"Yea good luck, you might get hunted down" he joked making me gulp hoping he was saying that to scare me.
"Hey maybe she'll become the first Sideman whose a girl in the group!" Josh suggested from the front. His suggestion startled me, would they really consider that? Me? Becoming part of them?
"Yea, hey Cheyenne what do you think of making YouTube videos with us all, you'd be like the little sister of the Sidemen!" Simon nodded enthusiastically. I shrugged at him and glanced at Harry who was also waiting for an answer.
"I've always wanted to so why not, but I don't know how to edit or anything and I'm awkward as shit so…" I started and smiled a little.
"We can teach you, aw, the Sidemen apprentice" Harry grinned patting my head, since I was so small he didn't have to reach far. Huffing I pushed his hand away.
"Sound" I joked, making them laugh at my impersonation of the meme. Maybe, maybe I would do my dream job, doing YouTube and playing games, the bonus is doing it with the Sidemen. My friends would have dreamt of this, I remember we all planned to make YouTube accounts and play games together. Keira would go mental knowing I was sitting in a car with the Sidemen, I should probably tell them where I was, they'll be worried by now.
After arriving at the giant store, memories of me as a child here came flooding back. Hiding in rooms, not wanting to leave the comfy display beds and pretending I lived in individual rooms. It was fun, just to run around and hide places, IKEA was perfect for a giant game of hide and seek.
"We're at IKEA!" Simon yelled after pulling out his Camera and pointing it at the entrance. After everyone arrived, JJ sadly not able to go so he left to go somewhere else. Chuckling as everyone spread out and followed, Vik climbed small circle stone columns at the side of the road, me following to see how far I could jump.
"It's Intere- oh shit step" Seeing Simon trip a little, Josh and Tobi laughed while I just shook my head. "Hey Josh, hey Josh" He waved at the darker haired Josh, he waved back whilst vlogging beside Simon.
"This is the most interesting place in the world for some reason" Simon grinned into his camera whilst trying to film his face and not fall over again. "but- It's not, it's really boring place Josh, why would you, why are we here?" He added.
Josh chuckled while answering "what do you mean why are we here?"
"Why are we here?" Simon repeated before looking over at Vik who spoke up. "Go on then"
Spreading out his arm, Vik jumped down from the column and crouched a little "boaaa" he grinned before I ran and jumped past him onto my feet. "Alright alright, no need to show off" Vik laughed walking past me ruffling my hair. Even to him, I was still 4 inches smaller.
Meeting some other people outside IKEA, I'm guessing their friends. I was introduced briefly before we headed inside and into the maze.
"Hope we don't get lost and become an IKEA worker" I mumbled to myself, Simon laughed while Harry lagged behind looking at some little things in a basket.
"We're in IKEAAaa!" Simon screeched running through some rooms Josh laughing behind him. "Hey Viks brother" He stopped at the other teen who smiled at him whilst looking at a shelf.
"Who's in here, oh shit" I guessed he came across someone in the toilet section making me chuckle.
"This is me, hey me" crossing some more rooms, Simon and Josh came across a big mirror, deciding to vlog themselves in it. "This is Josh" he panned to Josh before turning to his left to Vik who was laughing at them from a bath rub. "Oh my god"
I hid behind the curtain and grinned before moving it and jumping out "BO!" I laughed as they both jumped back in shock.
Tobi and the others went off together while me, Josh and Simon stayed together. I did eventually find a small bed that wasn't too expensive, it came with a bed side table as well so that was good.
After another one of Viks beautiful dancing with kitchen appliances, we spotted a strange chair in a box. The other also being there. "What is that?" Simon asked looking at it through his camera.
"It's a booty" Vik pointed out laughing. So it was a chair?
Twice we found references to Viks name "Look its me" The Asian boy pointed to a sign.
"Where?" Simon turned his camera "There's Vik!"
"What the-" I spotted a table surrounded by teddies and frowned.
"That is the creepiest thing I have ever seen" Simon spoke walking up beside me. "This is- this is so creepy" He repeated while filming it. It was like something out of a horror movie. "bruh this is like a modern day-" Viks brother walked over and pointed to the far corner.
"Teddy bear grave" he said whilst Simon filmed it laughing.
"More like Teddy bear sacrificing bodies" I chuckled, they laughed at my comment making me feel glad that I didn't sound weird.
"hello MTV, yea. Welcome…to my crib" seeing the pun Simon made there as he walked and pointed at a white baby crib and putting his thumbs up, I chuckled from behind the camera.
At the end of IKEA was of course the toys and children's section. The best. Vik went to go hide in a small child's tent, I was surprised he even fitted in there.
Simon came past us before stopping and crouching down to film the tent "oh wait, I've seen this before" he backed away slowly pretending to be scared.
Most of the guys went to play with the soft football toys kicking them around. Simon went to check out some cupboards apparently looking for Ethan who was playing with some toys. I laughed at the pun "He's gotta be in one of these" he went through opening each door. "Come on, Ethan"
"Maybe he got so deep into one he ended up in Narnia" I called over from where I was now kicking a ball with Vik. Josh laughed and threw a teddy at Simon who marched back over and threw it back. He and Viks brother then started fighting with toy broccoli like they were swords.
After getting some more 'cinematic shots', the guys wheeled the desks and some other furnishings to the checkout, Vik and me sitting on one of the carts while the others pushed it. He tried to act cool but I just laughed and poked Viks side while Simon filmed us.
Vik got some sweets and the others took the furniture outside after paying. "We got, boxes" Simon got his camera out again and turned to Josh looking at his cart. "What did we buy?" He asked.
"Me, me" josh pointed at himself and smiled before Simon moved onto Vik who was eating his bag of sweets.
I was walking beside him trying to get one. "What did you get?" Simon laughed as Vik pointed at his bag.
"These" he pointed out.
"Viks the only who comes to a furniture store and comes out with sweets, yea" Vik laughed with me as Simon pointed the camera behind him. "Although yea, so did they". I did eventually manage to get a sweet and ate it proudly.
After putting away the stuff we brought, we decided to go eat somewhere, "Okay so, it isn't quite Nandos, but uh. It's not Nandos!" After Vik tried to shout out Simon corrected him before laughing. It was some place called Fridays? I had never seen one beside IKEA before.
"No wait, it's a bush!" Simon gasped jokingly whilst looking down at the fake looking bush. I rolled my eyes and jumped over stumbling a little. Others followed using their long legs to step over the bushes easily.
"Bushtucker trial" Simon announced readying himself "ah!" stepping over he laughed to himself filming the whole thing.
I decided on some chips and a burger, since that was something I knew I would like. I definitely didn't want to be pickey here. "So how did you like the adventures at IKEA?" Vik who sat beside me asked while he looked over the menu waiting for all our food to arrive.
"It was…fun" I didn't mean to sound unsure, it was fun though, something I'd love to do again. "I haven't laughed as much in my life" I grinned making Vik smile back.
"Never?" He mused while defending his drink from Ethan who wanted to steal some.
"I mean I used to when I was little, but not in the last years…no, so thanks" I nod at him chuckling and resting my head on the table. It was getting late already, around 9 o'clock with the sun gone.
"Well then it will be our mission to make you sick with laughter everyday" Harry grinned beside me hearing in on the conversation.
"I think you'll manage that without trying" I chuckled sitting up when my food arrived along with everyone else's.
After eating out meal, we headed back to the cars.
"How can we have TGI Fridays, on a Monday?" Simon asked while he walked beside Josh and Viks brother.
"Illuminate confirmed" Me and Vik shouted before laughing as Simon made a face.
"Shut up, shut up Vik, and you Cheyenne" He smiled and turned off his camera. We said goodbye to the two friends of the Sidemen, they were hilarious too I have to say, before heading home.
"Okay now the task, of building this furniture" Tobi sighed as we began bringing all the boxes inside, we managed to buy two desks, and a bed and side-table for me. Which I was more than thankful for.
"Fun times" I chuckled watching the guys carry the heavy boxes up the stairs. I was glad enough they were carrying it instead of me.
"Thanks again guys" I grinned while Simon and Harry set down the two boxes for the bed and smaller one for the small table.
"You want help building it?" Vik asked from the door, I was about to answer before hearing Simon and Harry sit down and begin tarring open the boxes.
"Um…okay?" I wasn't going to protest, joining them I helped set everything out. "God help us" I prayed jokingly.
"This is gonna take at least a week" Vik sighed putting in another nail into the bed frame.
"About a week ago!" They suddenly began, dancing that weird ass dance. I just laughed and joined in.
We did manage to build it eventually, it was one in the morning and I was half dead, but we managed. "Finally!" I sighed and collapsed on the bed sprawling across it.
"We totally forgot bed covers" Harry smacked his forehead and groaned while Vik laughed and left the room, probably to go to bed.
"It's fine, I have a sleeping bag" I waved Simon and Harry off curling up too tired to care.
"If you say so" they shrugged.
I stood again before they could leave fully and with a red face, hurryingly pecking their cheeks before running past and also kissing Viks, Tobis and Ethans cheeks, much to their surprises. It was the least I could do. JJ would have to wait until he got home.
"Night then" I called with a tired voice before collapsing into bed and falling asleep my sleeping bag laying over me.
I know Harry and I don't know about Ethan, weren't at IKEA but I decided to add them in anyway for fun :3
Until the next chapter~ :D
