Authors Note : I'm kinda annoyed right now. I had this chapter typed out and was going to upload it yesterday as a bonus thing cause I have no life. And then it went and erased itself. I screamed... Really loud. But I'm typing it out again so you better be grateful!... Jokes!

Chapter 6
Vaughn's P.O.V.
I practically ran all the way home. What the frick was that? Why did I tackle her? I knew I'd end up on top of her! So why'd I do it? I don't know...
When I got home I saw Julia had set up sleeping bags, popcorn and she was in her pyjamas.
"What are you doing?"
She jumped at the sound of my voice.
"Oh, hey Vaughn! I'm having a sleepover remember? They're coming over at 8!"
Fuck. Running away from Chelsea on the beach did shit. She would be here in a fecking half hour! I guess I was running off to the comforts of my room...
"Oh, Vaughn, you ain't going nowhere!"
I was heading up the stairs when Julia called out to me. I turned and didn't like the look in her eyes.
"I want you down here too!"
What? No fucking way was I facing Chelsea after what had happened on the beach!
"No way! I know what your doing and I ain't coming down from my room!"
"B-but I got a scary movie and... I'll be scared!"
I rolled my eyes. "Well done, Captain Obvious. That's the whole point of a scary movie."
"Yeah but your girl'll be scared too!"
I went red at the mention of Chelsea. "I already said no, Julia!"
She pouted. "Fine, if you come down and participate in tonight's events, I won't tease you for a whole season!"
Hmmm... I thought about her offer. I could stay down here, face an embarrasing night with Chelsea, then not have Julia tease me for a whole season, which would probably avoid anymore embarrasing moments... Or I could avoid Chelsea for tonight, then have Julia tease me which would probably let me get to know my room alot more then I already do... I like opition 1.
"Fine... But you have to promise!"
"Mhm, pinkie promise!" She held out her baby finger.
I rolled my eyes at her childishness but then locked my baby finger with hers.
"Yay!" She did a little victory dance around the room.
I sighed and went into the kitchen to get some milk.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Yay! They're here!" Julia squealed and went to answer the door.
Yay. Let the torture begin.
"Vaughn, we're watching the movie first so we don't get nightmares..."
Remind me how old Julia is again.
I went into the living room.
"Hey, Vaughnie!" Lanna giggled.
"Yo, Vaughn" Natalie siad. She looked bored.
Chelsea just smiled and gestured to the seat beside her. So I sat beside her. I tried to look as bored and unemotional as possible to avoid my embarrasment. Julia, Lanna and Natalie sat infront of us on the floor. I had a feeling they were all behind this sleepover. Oh well, at least we had the popcorn to ourselves.
Before the film started, Chelsea whispered to me. "I'm sorry for stealing your hat earlier, Vaughn."
I blushed, remembering what had happened on the beach. Hopefully it was dark enough so nobody could see.
"D-don't be. I'm sorry for tackling you."
She nodded and the film started.
It was about some kid who went around killing people. Every time someone died, Julia and Lanna would scream and hug each other. Typical blondes. Natalie just stared at the screen and didn't so much as flinch. Chelsea would flinch, wince and cover her eyes.
In the last ten minutes there was alot of blood. Julia and Lanna were almost in tears and were just huddled into little balls, rocking back and forth. Natalie was still staring at the screen.
The weird pyscho kid had taking out a chainsaw. Chelsea saw the chainsaw and yelped. She then buried her head into my arm. I almost chocked on my popcorn. I looked down at her and saw she was muttering something to herself. I didn't exactly know what do so I just patted her back.
The film ended and Chelsea was still muttering under her breath and cuddling into my arm.
"Um... Chelsea? The film's over..."
She peered up and saw the black screen. She pushed herself up and apoligzed to me.
"Okay! Now the film's over who wants to do kareoke?" Julia asked.
Everyone but Chelsea and I nodded vigourously.
"Count me out of this one, Julia." I said. I am NOT singing.
"Umm... uh... ummm..." Chelsea didn't know what to say.
Julia wasn't listening though and had already turned on the Xbox. (It's a very high-tech island, ok?)
"I bags first!" Lanna squealed. Of course she'd want to go first...
Lanna sang Bad Boy by Cascada. She looked delighted with the score she got. "Who wants to go next?" She asked beaming.
Julia raised her hand, waving it like a mad man.
"Here ya go, Julia!" Lanna handed the microphone to Julia.
Julia sang Crush - Glee Cast Version. She, also, was delighted by the score she got. "Here you go, Natalie!"
Natalie took the microphone and sang Rolling in the Deep by Adele.
"Okay, Chelsea it's your turn!" Julia said.
"I-I'm not sure, Jules..." She said back.
"Hm? Why not?" Lanna asked confused.
"I-I don't know if I can sing..." Chelsea murmered out turning a little red.
That's right! Chelsea told me she used to sing all the time but her parents told her to stop because she sounded like a crow. Chelsea never regained her courage to after that.
"Aaaww, Chels, don't say that! I'm completly tone-deaf and I still went." Natalie said.
Chelsea sniffed. "Thanks, Nat, but I still don't know..."
"Hey, Chelsea we're your friends. If you don't want to, you don't have to. If you do and your crap, we will still applaud you for your courage." Lanna said, patting Chelsea on her back.
"Yeah, we won't laugh... Well, I can't promise about Vaughn though..." Julia said, eying me.
"Hey!" I glared at her.
Chelsea giggled.
"Thanks... I've never had a place were everyone encouraged me before..." She sniffed a few times. "Hand me the mic, Lanna."
Everyone smiled and Lanna handed Chelsea the microphone.
Chelsea smiled and started to sing.
"I'm going through the same day,
Same place,
Same way I always do.
Then I saw you from the corner of my eye,
And it hit me like a ton of bricks,
I can't lie.
Oh, you got to me."
She sang away and eventually got confident enough to do a little dance.
She was really good at singing too. Her voice could go low but it could go high as well. It would waver on long notes. She sounded like an angel and nothing like a crow.
She finished and turned to look at us. Julia, Lanna and Natalie burst into applause. I smiled a small smile and nodded. Chelsea broke into a gigantic grin.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
It was 12:30 now and almost everyone had fallen asleep. Chelsea and I were the only ones left awake.
"You were really good at the signing, Chelsea." I whispered, not wanting to wake anyone up.
She smiled softly. "Thanks, Vaughn."
Silence fell over us again. This was kinda akaward...
Chelsea suddenly started shivering.
"You ok?" I asked her.
"Y-yeah. I just forgot to bring a sleeping bag and Julia has no more spare ones."
"O-oh..."
She started to rub her eyes and then she yawned.
"Vaughn?"
"What?"
"Can I cuddle into you?"
"W-what?" I felt my cheeks burning.
"I'm just so cold and tired..."
It was probably the tiredness... Yeah, that had to be it...
Before I could say anything Chelsea came over and put her head on my shoulder. She then curled up and hugged me. "*Yawn*. You're so warm... Good night..."
Then, without me telling it to, my arm wrapped around her small body and pulled her closer to me. A small smile appeared on her mouth. I rested my head on hers and fell asleep...
Yay! Finished! By the way, can anybody guess what song Chelsea sang? First person to get it right will get a cookie! I'll tell ye tomorrow! Peace!
