Enjoy!
I own nothing!
I awoke three hours later, feeling completely rested. I sat up on my elbow to look at Jason and noticed he was still sleeping. I slowly made my way out of bed, making sure to be as careful and quiet as possible, so as not to wake Jason.
I made my way down the stairs and looked into the living room. No sign of the boys. I made my way to the kitchen. I noticed Ali, Emily, and Paige were already awake and sitting at the island. I quickly glanced around the room. Still no sign of the boys.
"Where are the guys?" I asked.
"We sent them to bed. We can look after ourselves for a few hours." Ali replied.
"We thought we might cook them breakfast." Emily mentioned.
"Sounds great." I replied. "What are we making?"
Ali shrugged. "We haven't made it that far."
"Pancakes?" Paige asked.
Ali went and looked in the cupboard. She rummaged around for a few seconds and produced an unopened box of pancake mix. She tossed it to Emily and went to find a bowl. I turned around and started looking through drawers trying to find a fork or wisk to mix with. Emily and Paige started looking for the few things the box said we needed.
By the time we got everything that we needed out, Hanna had wondered downstairs.
"Oh good, you're making breakfast." She said, while sitting down.
"As a thank you to the boys for staying up last night." Ali replied. "You helping?"
Hanna nodded. "As long as there is coffee."
"Who wants to go wake Spencer up so she can make it?" Emily joked, causing us all to break out in smiles.
"I'll go." Hanna volunteered.
She left and returned a few minutes later with a tired looking Spencer dragging behind her.
Spencer immediatly started making coffee. Five minutes later we all poured ourselves a cup and doctored it just the way we liked it.
We finished making the pancakes, made ourselves plates, and put the rest in the microwave to keep them warm for the boys. Which wasn't a long wait. Jason and Toby practically ran down the stairs to see what was going on.
"Hey." I replied, seeing Jason in the entryway.
"Gabe and Noel didn't wake us up." Were the first words out of Jason's mouth.
"I convinced them that we could handle ourselves for a few hours." Ali spoke up. I could see Jason wanted to argue, but then decided against it.
I poured him a cup of coffee and walked over to him. He grabbed the cup with one hand and placed his other one around my waist.
"Pancakes are in the microwave." I said to him, but loud enough for Toby to hear too.
"Thank you." he replied, while giving me a chaste kiss.
The other two boys came downstairs about fifteen minutes later. We made small talk all through breakfast.
The day was spent playing games, watching movies, and little alone time. The time passed slowly, for which I think we were all grateful. We had decided not to leave the house until we snuck Ali out and into Gabe's loft.
Once the time came for us to leave, we all stalled just a little. We decided that not everyone should go to the loft. We split up into two groups. Ali, Gabe, Jason, Noel, and I would take Ali to the loft. And Spencer, Toby, Hanna, Emily, and Paige would stay and keep an eye on the house.
We got into the car and left. Gabe and I sat up front to give Ali time with her brother and boyfriend.
We drove around the block two times before stopping in front of the building, to make sure Ezra wasn't following us. We parked and hastily snuck Alison into the building.
Gabe showed us all around and we decided that Noel would stay with Ali, at least tonight, to make her feel more safe. We didn't stay for more than half an hour before we were on our way back to Jason's house.
