Chapter 10. Sleeping Over
Emily let out an ear piercing scream for about the tenth time that night. We made the mistake of letting her watch horror movies with us.
"Protect me Gregg!" she squealed.
"Sorry sister, he's protecting me" Alex snapped at her friend.
"But, but, but"
"No buts allowed" snapped Bridget. The fights continued over who needed my protection during the movies. We stayed up watching horror movies until about two in the morning. We finished the last of the chocolate chip cookies and headed downstairs. There were massive amounts of pillows and blankets on the floor. Everyone chose spots to sleep and mostly everyone drifted off.
"Ouch! Scoot over" I heard someone hiss.
"Bridget, you're such a bed hog, now move it" I heard again.
"Would everyone just shut up" groaned Alex.
"Well, we'd be doing excellent if Emily would stop complaining" Bridget retorted. Everyone scooted over and attempted to fall asleep. Everyone seemed to drift off quickly ough, but not Alex and I.
"Are you alright Alex?" I asked.
"I can't sleep" she complained.
"Come here" I whispered and she molded perfectly into my arms.
"Goodnight" she mumbled and was asleep within minutes. I soon drifted off as well and it all felt perfect.
"Good morning!" shouted Harper.
"We're sleeping" Alex snapped.
"Yes, we are" Bridget agreed. We all ended up sleeping pretty well, and I felt very happy. This was one of the best parties ever, and I couldn't be more pleased. Alex seemed happy as well which only made the situation better. I hadn't planned on sleeping over, but it's okay that it happened that way
