Heart Strings

Part Seven- Jokes

“Guess who?” a pair of hands quickly covered my eyes as I was left wondering who it was. I knew, of course it was Luke trying to be cute but I play along “ummm, let me guess, Luke?” as I turned around and was about to give him a kiss when he said “wow wow wow no stop” I open my eyes to see Michael standing in front of me. I instantly start to blush “Michael what the hell what are you doing?” Luke stops us and starts marching over with a scowl on his face. I could tell I wasn’t going to like what I was gonna hear. I looked back at Michael waiting for him to explain himself as he said “sorry Ciara I never thought you would do that!” by this time Luke is over demanding to know what he just witnessed. I try to calm him down and explain that I thought it was you and that it was only a mistake which made him calmer. I look at Michael who Luke can’t look in the eye as I hug Luke trying to change the subject. When he puts his arms round me I know he has calmed down. I kiss him and just hug him and snuggle into his chest. I really wanted to stay like that forever. Calum spots us and runs up to us screaming “ahhhhh” and knocks us onto the couch. I give him a glare but it didn’t last very long as Ashton joins him screaming “weeeee” and jumping on us as well. I try and get up of the couch before Michael jumps as well but I realise I’m too late when I hear “hehehheheh” and feel extra weight on top of me. I have had enough. “EVERYONE OFF” and considering how loud I screamed they knew I was serious. When I finally managed to stand up, the 4 of them looked at me gloomily so I decide to slap all of them in that face at the same time. When I look at them with their shocked faces a grin peaks through my annoyance as Ashton shouts for payback “tickles!!!” they all looked at me and start to smile. I slowly start to back away from them as they see the fear in my eyes. I don’t know how much further I can back until I reach a wall so I decide to try and dodge them and run for cover. No such luck, I fell the wall on my back and they are still getting closer. Looking about the room panicking trying to think of a distraction when suddenly I see a banana, on the couch, just lying there. I grab it hitting them all and running for the closest room with a door.  Bedroom, perfect, I quickly get behind the door and hold it closed for as long as possible. I hear the shoes shuffling along the floor and the mutters “from Michael) that I just manage to make out “stupid angry banana” which makes me laugh. They reach the door and try to get in but since they are 4 tall, strong boys and I am a small weak girl. They get into the room within 5 seconds and I’m back where I started. I think to myself how it might just be better to get it over with since I won’t be able to stop it. I lie on the bed as they enter, ready to face my doom. They walk over and calum says “what, no restrains?” confused and then ashton grabs my legs as Michael grabs my arms and lift me off the bed back into the living room. I panic thinking that their plans have got worse.

We reach the living room and they place me on the floor. Michael says “ill turn the tap on” which just makes me get strange thoughts into my head. Are they going to soak me? Luke sits on top of me keeping me still as Ashton takes my socks of and started tickling my feet. It was agonising. Luke was holding my legs down so I couldn’t move and started burping in my face. I was nearly crying of laughter. Michael came back and nodded to Luke. He slowly got up telling Ashton to stop tickling and stop me from moving. Luke grabbed a blindfold and put it on my. I was officially scared. Someone put my socks back on and lifts me over their shoulders. I then felt someone put my shoes on so it got me thinking we were going outside. They were just about to start talking probably forgetting I can still hear when someone cough and suddenly earphones are placed in my ears at full volume so I can’t hear a thing. If it wasn’t my best friends and boyfriend, I would be shitting myself. What’s the worse they can do? I got placed in a chair or what I think is a chair, I can’t tell, I just know I’m sitting. Then someone lifts me again and places me over their shoulders again. Judging by how broad they are I think they are Lukes, but I can’t tell for sure. He put me down, I was standing but there was someone holding my hands so I couldn’t do anything and they had their arms round me. They took the earphones out and I was told to sit down. I didn’t want to know what would happen if I didn’t so I obliged. I hear “3, 2, 1!!” and suddenly freezing cold water was thrown on top of me. I scream but before I can take the blindfold off they jump on me restricting my movements once more. I say “I am going to kill you guys” and I just hear laughter. When they get off me I was lifted up again and earphones were placed in my ears. I was freezing, shivering, I could hear my own teeth over the music. I just hope that it wasn’t going to get any worse.
