My Hero --- A Miniminter Ff

Chapter Two - Twitter Post

A cool whisp of air blew across my face and that was when I shot up from where ever I was lying down at.

I quickly scanned my surroundings trying to put together where I was at and then it hit me.

I'm on the couch downstairs where Vikk and Simon were playing video games. Did Ethan bring me down here?

I looked around the room but it was kind of hard because it was very dark out and there wasn't a clock near by. So, was it still night time or early morning?

With a groan, I swung my legs over the side of the black, leather couch and sat myself up. Everything seems as it was last night except a little bit more clean. Meaning, there weren't as many plates everywhere like last night, and the gaming controllers were put away properly so no one would step on them.

I slowly stand myself up and use the light from the bathroom---the light that they always keep on--- to find a lamp or a light switch somewhere.

With no trouble, I stumble across a somewhat hidden light switch that was in the corner of the room and flip it so that the over head light brightens up and I can see better.

That's when I see it. There was a familiar figure slouched against the wall with one game controller in hand. He was in front of me, but next to the TV.

Then I notice he has a watch on.

Now, I do have a phone, but I left that upstairs. I would get it, but those steps are the most creaky steps you'll ever hear in your life time I swear. Even if you step on the edge of the step, it will make the loudest noise possible.

Should I just go over there and look at it or wake him up?

If I go over there and try to read it myself, he might wake up and see me and that would be really awkward...

"Simon?"  I whisper yell in his general direction. I think that was his name. I wait for him to respond but it doesn't look like he even heard me. "Simon," I whisper again this time knealing down to his height. I grab onto his shoulder lightly and shake him a little bit. "Simon, wake up," this time he moved a little bit before his head shot up and he fell forward a bit.

I froze.

He was dangerously close to my face. I'm not even lying when I say our noses could be touching right now. His breathing was slow and steady, fairly normal. On the other hand, mine was rapid and fast paced and I could tell he noticed.

He placed his hands on my shoulders moving himself back a little bit before telling me quietly to calm down.

"What did you need? I'm sorry for startling you." he says quietly making sure he isn't making a lot of noise.

"I just was going to ask what time it was because I was confused... And that was my fault, sorry." I chuckle trying to make it a little less awkward as he looks down at his watch.

"It is... Five AM." he says rubbing his eyes. "How long have you been up?" he asks making direct eye contact with me.

"Maybe... Three minutes, max." I say. He nods.

"Well, we can go to sleep if you'd like, or get up. Your choice." he rubs his eyes again and I take that for a hint.

"Lets just go to sleep." I assure him. I didn't expect him to pull me into him and rest an arm around my shoulder.

I didn't say anything, only kept quiet.

His body was actually quite warm and comfortable. Thus, making it very, very easily for me to fall asleep nestled into him.

.  .  .

Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! That was the sound I woke up to. It was coming from the other side of Simon so I figured it was his phone.

"Simon." I groan extending the "n's". "Your phone is going off like crazy..." I trail my sentence off once I see Ethan, Tobi, and Vikk standing at the bottom of the stairs staring at Simon and I.

"Emma...?" Ethan looks dumbfounded as he glances from Simon to myself.

Once I realized what they were staring at, I quickly spoke up.

"It's not anything bad! I woke up and asked for the time and it was really early and I freaked out so he helped me then we fell asleep like this!" I say quickly leaving out a few... Minor details.

By now, Simon woke up and looked around seeing a few of the boys as I was seeing.

He glanced over at me then got up quickly helping me up.

"Don't worry, nothing happened." Simon groaned glancing down at his phone which was absolutely filled with Twitter notifications. He nervously glanced up at the three men standing at the bottom of the stairs then back down at his phone.

"What the hell did you guys do."

Simon says unlocking his phone which is automatically pulled up to a picture on Twitter. I glance over at his phone screen to see a picture of him and I sleeping... Together. The picture was posted about twenty minutes ago and already has over two thousand re-tweets.

"Tobi may or may not have guessed your phone's password and posted that picture..." Vikk gives us a weak smile.

"What if Josh sees? He will freaking murder me!" I whisper yell at them. "If he sees my get close to anyone, I mean anyone, he will give me the super long lecture about how his eighteen year old sister doesn't know how boys really are and how she should be careful around them---!" A hand clasps over my mouth to stop my talking.

"I took the picture down, okay? Calm down..." Simon chuckles.

I sigh in relief.

"Thank you." I look back up at Ethan, Tobi, and Vikk. "So... How about we make breakfeast?" I ask hoping someone can cook.

"I can make toast... That's about it." Tobi laughs.

"I can make scrambled eggs! That's pretty much my specialty... Eggs." Vikk adds.

"I can make biscuits if that sounds good!" Ethan pipes.

"Then I guess I have to heat up the gravy," Simon says making his way to the kitchen.

I'm actually starting to like it here at the Sidemen house as Josh calls it. I've made few acquaintances and I'm hoping I'll be able to come even closer to them.
