It would have been at least four hours now that Alex, Maze and Will had been at our house, it started off as us watching a movie and then playing video games for at least an hour, now I have no idea how to play the games they were playing so I just sat on the couch with a bag of chips and watched them.
On the couch I was sitting in between Alex and Ryder. Ryder had a stern look on his face as he was trying to shoot a big ugly monster in a broken abandoned town as Maze his partner in the game was trying to be the distraction and bring the monster in range for Ryder to shoot it.
Then there was Alex who was practically drooling on my arm, looking intently at my bag of chips.
"Do you wan-" I said but got cut off.
"Yes!" Alex yelled as he snatched the chips off of me as I laughed.
"Alex! Don't just snatch other people's food." Will said sternly sitting on the other side of the couch next to Maze.
"Sorry." he said with a mouthful of food.
"It's fine, there wasn't many left anyway." I said.
Another hour passed by and I was laying up against Ryder who was still trying to complete a level of whatever game he was playing with maze.
I was so warm as I was under a grey fluffy blanket and ryder was incredibly warm, I could barely keep my eyes open, I was fighting trying to keep them open but I couldn't anymore. I let the darkness pull me into a deep sleep.

"Flo." A voice whispered.
"Flower? It's time to wake up." The voice said again shaking me softly.
"Go away." I groaned turning away from the voice, just to be pulling into a warm chest.
"Did you just tell me to go away?" Ryder said as he faked hurt in his voice.
"Yes, now please go away." I groaned again.
"I don't think so." Ryder said cheekily.
I was about to fall asleep again when Ryder started tickling me, now there's one thing you need to know about me, you don't even need to touch me, you could just make the tickle movement near me and I'll laugh.
so when Ryder started tickling my stomach and moving to my hips I erupted with laughter. I tried to move away but he held me to him with one arm to keep me in place so I couldn't escape.
"Ryder, stop." I said in-between giggles.
"No, I don't think so." he said as I kept laughing and trying to push him away from me but it was no use.
"Okay okay I'm sorry." I laughed even harder.
"Give me a kiss." He said as he tickled me even more.
I quickly reached up to his face where blues and purples swirled together making a big bruise from where Jace had punched him yesterday. I pressed my lips onto his and then pulled them off as he had stopped tickling me.
I got up from my bed and ran into my room, I shut the door before Ryder could come in and get all mad at me for not giving him a longer kiss.
I looked through my clothes and decided on a white knitted off the shoulder sweater, burgundy sweat pants and my black vans.
I also left my hair down; I couldn't be bothered to try and tie my messy blonde hair into a bun today.
I walked out of my room and quickly made my way down the stairs, making sure not to forget my bag on the way out.
Once I was down the stairs, I was met with Ryders perfectly sculpted tan back, he was only wearing grey sweat pants and his monster claw slippers.
"Go get ready, we have school." I said taking a bite out of his toast.
"Hey!" he whined as he snatched the piece out of my hand.
"Go." I said sternly.
"I'm suspended idiot." he said in a mocking tone.
"Oh, wait what." I said confused.
"Well I got a message from the school saying I'm suspended for a week." he said and then everything clicked.
Jace. The fight. The princess band aid.
"Are you ready?" he asked, grabbing his keys from the bench and walking towards the garage.
"Yep." I smiled and followed him over.
I jumped into his range rover and waited for him to get in, with in no time we were moving and we were no our way to school. I couldn't help but think how horrible this week is going to be.
"Your kind of annoying to sleep with." Ryder blurted out.
"What?" I asked causing him to laugh.
"You're the one that normally makes me sleep in your bed." I laughed as his face turned into a scowl.
'Wait how did I get to your bed last night?" I asked confused as I was pretty sure I fell asleep on the couch next to Ryder last night.
"Oh, I carried you up." he laughed nervously scratching the back of his neck.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked.
"Well I tried, but you were out cold, Alex thought you were dead." he laughed remembering what had happened last night.
"Oh." I said quietly sinking back into my seat, we sat in silence for the rest of the drive, occasionally singing to the songs that played on the radio.
"Well we're here." He said as he stopped the car out front of the school.
"Thanks for the ride ill see you after school." I smiled about to open the door when ryder quickly looked it.
The driver has way too much power over the car sometimes.
"What? I need to go." I said trying to open the door.
"You can go when you give me a proper kiss." he said with a smirk.
"Ryder." I whined.
"Just kiss me flower and then you can go, simple." he smirked again.
That stupid smirk.
I gave up and leaned in closer to him as did he until our lips met, we held it for a few seconds, eyes closed, it felt like time somehow stopped and it was only us in that moment. We both pulled away and taking breaths of air.
"Okay I'll meet you here after school, ill text you if anything changes." he says while unlocking the doors.
"Okay bye." I say shutting the door behind me and making my up the steps and through the school doors.
I walk down the hall making my way to my locker so I can get out my books for first class and attempt to shove my bag into the small blue locker like always, I start thinking about what I'm going to be having for lunch today when a shark pain shoots through my side.
I didn't even realize I was being shoved up against the row of lockers which is right near mine when I find myself coming face to face with a very familiar face.
