"Good morning, sunshine!" Maddison sang.

I groaned throwing a pillow at her face. "Go away."

"Aww, come on! It's a beautiful Christmas morning!" she pouted.

I just groaned and ignored her. Turning my face away from her, and burying my face deeper into the cozy pillows all around me.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." She said then, before I could react her face was in front of mine and a glass in her hand. She tilted it, pouring the contents over my face. I rolled over to the other side quickly causing only some of it to land on my face.

Ugh, now my bed was all wet!

I got up, facing her. "I SWEAR TO THE GODS OF OLYMPUS, IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE RIGHT-" I began to threaten but was cut off abruptly.

"Oh please, save that for someone else! It's Christmas!"

I began to threaten her again but thought better of it. Threatening Maddison wasn't going to get me anywhere. So instead, I ran past her outside my room and into the corridor. As if knowing exactly what I was thinking Maddison followed me running. I knew she would stop me so I pumped my legs to run faster and barged into Mason and Ashton's room. I banged the door on her face and locked it.

I smiled, contently.

"BITCH! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR OR-" she shouted from the opposite side.

"Blah blah," I cut her off, "There's no way you're getting me out of this one." I sang.

She grumbled and muttered some incoherent words, however sighed and walked away.

I plopped myself in between Mason and Ashton who were sleeping on two different sides of the bed. There was enough space for me to squeeze in, so I did and shut my eyes. Finally, sleep and I are reunited.

"She woke you up?" Ashton chuckled, sleep evident in his voice.

"Tried" I corrected.

After that I slipped back into my dreamland.

"WAKE UP, WAKE UP, ITS A BRIGHT EARLY MORNIN' TIME FOR YOU TO WAKE UP" Blared a voice. What the fuck?

"DON'T YOU WORRY, YOU WON'T BE SORRY, FOR TODAY IS A GOOD DAY, A GOOD, GOOD DAY." The same voice yelled again. It sounded like a woman's voice. What the-?

"Get the damn alarm, Mason!" Ashton groaned beside me. I tried to open my eyes and readjust to the world. Like what was happening? Who is this woman? Why is Ashton calling her an alarm?

I looked at Mason who was dead. Not literally, I mean he was dead asleep.

I thought better than to wake him up. I was already asleep beside him, and we had a slap bet which he had forgotten yesterday, but that didn't mean he wouldn't slap me.

I turned around and looked at Ashton. His arm was thrown over his eyes, his face was twisted into an annoyed one.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, leaning towards him.

"Mason's fucking alarm!" he groaned, his voice sounding sexy as ever.

I got up, and looked down at him as he slowly removed his hands and flashed me a 100 watt smile. "Morning"

"Morning" I chirped. Or wait, is it?

"What were you talking about the alarm? And who was that woman who was yelling?" I asked.

"That is Mason's famous alarm. He couldn't find a more annoying voice then his cousin Kelly's. So he asked her to record those lines and send him to her, she did and voila. Her annoying voice is his fucking alarm tone and it wakes him up every day." He muttered.

I laughed, only Mason was capable of doing something like this.

"Is it safe to wake him up?" I asked.

"Well, yeah. It is better than listening to Kelly's voice another 15 times. I am not even exaggerating, he has them on fucking 5 minute intervals, and it doesn't matter if he cancels his alarm and falls back asleep, it will ring every 5 minutes."

"Oh gods," I shook my head, laughing.

I leaned down, "MASSSOOOON, WAKEEYY WAKEEY" I sang.

"Go away whoever you are!" He said, pushing his head into his pillow. Aw, just like I do.

"Mason if you don't wake up this second I will kick you off of your bed, and don't challenge me because I will." I said firmly.

He scoffed and fell asleep again.

I used Madds dialogue on him, "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Ashton looked at me with amusement in his eyes, I leaned on Ashton as he held my waist and I pushed my legs towards Mason's torso. Man, he has those muscles too!

I pushed myself against Ashton as he held me in place. And finally kicked Mason off. He fell down, rolling out of his blanket while I laughed my ass off.

"Diana Summers." He began, angrily.

But I was smarter and faster. I jumped out of Ashton's arms and hopped over the lying down Mason, I pushed all my body weight on the door as I pushed down the handle but ended up banging my knees into the door and crumpled down on the floor.

Aw shizzle. I forgot I had locked the door!

"OUCH." I yelped as I touched the now sore spot on my knee.

Mason and Ashton looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. They continued laughing for a good 5 minutes before Ashton walked around the bed and helped me up.

"Karma bitch," Mason winked at me as he pushed himself off the floor as well.

Stupid bitch doesn't have any other work but ruining peoples' lives.

Ashton looked at me, "Did you hurt yourself bad?"

I glared at him, knowing he was just kidding.

He held for a second more but then burst out laughing again.

Boy, was I right?

We walked into the kitchen, to see only Maddison and Lisa munching away on some chips.

"Where are Jer and Andrew?" I asked.

Maddison shrugged, "Jer is asleep, and Andrew is gone for a pizza run. We offered to order but he said he wanted to stretch his legs, so he left."

"Yay, so we are having pizza for lunch?" I asked, when Lisa nodded I went ahead and did a little happy dance. Mason joined me.

"We had pizza like 2 days ago!" Ashton reminded me.

"Yes that is 48 hours ago!" Mason said, and I hi-fived him, saying "Exactly bro."

When we stopped, Lisa asked me if I could go wake Jer up and I evilly nodded. I ran up the stairs and barged into Jeremy's room. He was fast asleep on the bed, cuddling with a pillow!

I snapped a picture of him and uploaded it on instragram. And added a caption saying: Look, we have a cuddler here!♥

"IT'S CHRISTMAS MORN JER! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND MEET SANTA!"

"Santa is a lie, go back to bed." He muttered.

I fake gasped, "Don't you dare."

"Aw, mommy lied to you?" he chuckled. Then he realized what he said and quickly shot up, right off his bed, and was beside me in an instant.

"Holy shit Diana! That is not what I meant, I'm so sorry! It just came out and I didn't think about it! Fuck!" he rambled, running his hands through his hair.

I chuckled, "Chill out, Jer. It's okay! I know you didn't mean it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"A 100 percent?"

"Yes"

"Should I lock the answer?"

"Yes"

"Are you sure you don't have a choice after this."

"Yes"

"So should I go with the-"

"YES. NOW GO BRUSH YOUR TEETH AND GET YO ASS DOWN OR I WILL STAPLE YOUR MOUTH!" I yelled at his face.

He smirked at me, "Aw, you love me. You wouldn't do that."

"Oh try me."

"Well...ARE YOU LIKE THOUSAND PERCENT SURE THAT-"

"Okay. I'm out of here. My work is done anyways"

He looked around the room confused for a moment and then he realized that I had just managed to wake him up, and got all grumpy again.

I winked at him and left the room.

"Pizza, pizza! Yummy yummy pizza! Pizza pizza, yummy yummy pizza!" Mason and I chanted at Andrew set the huge boxes of pizza on the dining table.

"You know, I wonder why they call this the dining table." I suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Confused, Andrew asked.

"I mean that we have breakfast, lunch and dinner on this very table. So why is the word for it only dining table which is associated with dinner?

"That's actually a good question" Jeremy agreed from beside me.

"Well I think so because normally families don't have all 3 meals together. Breakfast and lunch are not very good at getting families to sit and eat together since at least one person is missing, where as dinner is that one meal which the family eats as a whole" Andrew explained.

I looked at him in awe. Here I had a genius of a brother where as I was a dimwit.

We all applauded for him, and he bowed down to each of us saying "Thank you, thank you!"

Once we were done gobbling up all the Pizza's we decided it would be a good idea to walk around Miami. Can you believe it? Walk and good idea in the same sentence! Like what has the world come to?

So currently we were walking down the streets, window shopping.

"Hey guys, it's Christmas! We should do something Christmas-y!" Lisa exclaimed suddenly coming to a halt, and bumping right into me. Well, I bumped into her but it's always better to blame the other person.

"Uh, like what?" Jer asked.

"Let's all get those Santa caps!"

"Yes yes, I agree!" I piped in.

"Okay, but everyone wears Santa caps, and it won't be that weird." Andrew pointed out.

"Guys, why don't we all wear red and white?" Mason suggested.

"With the caps!" exclaimed Jer, again.

"Lol okay Jer, we'll get the caps. Okay so people we have exactly 15 minutes. Go buy something red and white, change into it, meet me at McDonalds in 15 minutes, Andrew and I will meet you there with the caps." Maddison flashed us thumbs up and then ran away with Andrew.

Um okay, that was fast.

Lisa and Jeremy walked off hand in hand leaving me with the married couple- Mason & Ashton.

"Really?" I called out to a running away Jeremy.

Ashton came up from behind me and put his head on my shoulder, "No one likes you." He said looking at Jer.

Mason burst out laughing and I pushed Ashton away who also was laughing his ass off.

I entered the first clothes store that I found, not wanting to walk more. It's not like I hate shopping, I'm a girl, and I will shop even if the world was coming to an end. The walking part of shopping is what I hate-That and spending money of course.

I didn't give much thought in pairing perfect stuff up. I just picked a pair of white jeans since I already had white shorts at home, and a red tank top with a red checkered shirt. I paid for them and changed into my outfit. I wrapped the checkered shirt around my waist, and messed up my hair a bit.

I went outside, looking for Mason and Ashton, but they were nowhere to be seen.

I looked around the little shop again; apparently it was an only girl's thing. Great now where do I find two absolute idiots?

I walked out with the bag of my previously worn clothes, and searched around me. There were two guys in the same clothes, except different color combinations. I didn't have to look twice and I ran over to them.

Ashton was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a white t-shirt paired with a red shirt over it. He had left the buttons open, making it look like a jacket. He was currently also wearing a black cowboy hat, except its edges were shorter. Damn, he looked hot.

Mason was wearing a pair of blue jeans as well, he had a red t-shirt paired with a white shirt over it, which he left open making it look like a jacket. He also had the same hat as Ashton.

"Aw look at you two!" I gushed.

"Hot, aren't we?" Ashton winked.

I wanted a picture with Ashton so I whipped out my phone and asked the guys, "Picture?" Mason nodded sure. Just as I was about to walk towards Ashton, the two of them moved in closer, Ashton's hand over Mason's shoulder and they posed.

I looked at them stunned for a moment.

"Well, this is awkward." I muttered, going back a few spaces and snapping a picture of them.

I groaned, "Stop being so mean, I want a picture with both of you!"

Mason laughed, "here give." He extended his arm as I dropped my phone into his hand.

I went next to Ashton, and stood on my tippy toes. That guy was so tall! He looked at me terribly trying to reach his height and laughed, and then he bent down to come in level with me.

"Aw" I exclaimed pulling his cheeks.

He waved me off, and we snapped a couple of pictures, then I did the same with Mason-who was not as generous as Ashton. That douche was on his toes as well! There was no way I could reach his height, what so ever! In the end I climbed over him, and we took a cute picture..or so I think. Because Mason has a tendency to ruin pictures!

The three of us walked to McDonalds'. Well, Mason and Ashton walked, I convinced Ashton to give me a piggy back ride since Mason whined about how I injured his shoulder by climbing on him suddenly.

I was happy, I didn't have to walk.

Lisa was wearing red shorts and a white full sleeved top; it had a red heart in the middle. She looked adorable. Jeremy was in red jeans with a white t-shirt, it was full sleeved as well but he had bunched them up around his elbows. He looked hot too! I don't think guys could pull off Red jeans, but surprisingly Jer could.

Andrew was wearing a pair of khaki pants with a white red shirt, button down. I had to admit, he looked hot too. Damn, if I said any of this loud, I'd give them a bad ego boost.

Maddison was wearing red jeans and white loose crop top that said Love. She didn't put efforts into picking out good outfits either, but with a fashion sense like hers, anything that she wore was perfect.

"Aw, everyone actually wore red and white. I'm so proud of us!" Lisa said, smiling.

"I agree, I didn't think the guys would do so, honestly."

"Here," Madds said next. Giving us all the Santa caps, when Jer was given his, he proceeded to do a little happy dance and sang "Jingle Bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way!"

I managed to record that little part where he sang jingle bells, man he would kill me.

We stopped a random couple on the way and asked them to take pictures of us.

"So what next?" asked Lisa.

"Well we're done with lunch, I'm tired of going to the beach...and I don't know what else can be done?" Jer replied.

We all thought for a moment and gave different ideas.

"Café Versailles!" "Beach" "Parasailing" "Get drunk!" "Shop" "Meet Santa!" "Beach"

In the end we decided to just fool around and walk the streets, again.

Have I mentioned the fact that I hate my friends? A lot!

-At night-

"Oh my gods! I cannot stand for a second more!" I groaned, plopping myself on the floor and holding my legs. They hurt like a fucking bitch!

"Today was fun though!" Lisa chirped, as she came out of the kitchen holding a tray of glasses filled with water, and ice.

Okay I admit today was fantastic but it was so damn tiring!

"Thank you so much Lis!" I announced grabbing a glass of water from the tray. She flashed me a smile and then moved over to hand one out to the rest of the guys.

"What is the time?" Mason gasped.

"11:48." Andrew grumbled. Everyone was so exhausted! We didn't take the car over to the street, so we had to walk back here. The walk is barely 15-20 minutes max, but we walked towards the other side, and by the time we realized we didn't have a car and we were supposed to walk back, we were too far away.

"Okay people, there's like 10 minutes left! Move it," Maddison said. Uh what? What's going on, what is everyone talking about?

"Oh shit yes!" Jeremy slapped his forehead and stormed out of the living room.

Maddison left the house; Andrew went up to his room. Mason was in the kitchen looking for food and Lisa was washing her face.

Then, Ashton suddenly came into view. "Come?" he asked, extending his hand and smiling down at me. I accepted his hand, and he pulled me right up.

"What's going on?" I asked him.

"We're going towards the beach," he answered.

"But why?"

"Surprise."

I sighed, I did love surprises!

He was walking behind me now, his hands wrapped over my eyes. "Don't look."

"I won't, your hands are covering my eyes." I reminded him, and he chuckled.

After a good 10 minutes I suppose, he let go of me, and asked me to open my eyes when he asks me to. I felt him move away, and then he spoke. "Open 'em."

I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw a little table placed on the sand with a beautiful chocolate cake, that said Happy Birthday Diana in swirly handwriting on it. What caught my eye was another cake beside it which was exactly the same size, but was a red velvet cake.

Why would they get me two?

Mason, Ashton, Jer, Lisa, Madds and Andrew were all surrounding the table smiling at me.

"THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! YA'LL ARE THE BEST!" I said, excitedly.

"Why are there two cakes?"

"You'll know soon enough," Mason winked.

"Okay waits, now." Maddison said and everyone shouted, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNS! WE LOVE YOU."

I laughed, and bent over to blow out the candles in both the cakes.

Now the guys were beside me, rather than ahead of me. "One-Two-Three!" Jeremy counted and my face was smashed right into the chocolate cake!

"OH MY GODS!" I screeched.

They all started laughing, "That-is why we got you two cakes!" Mason said grinning. I ran my hand over my cheeks, getting all the chocolate on them and slapped Mason across the face. Now he too, had chocolate on his face.

"Oh shit!" He muttered, trying to wipe the chocolate off his face while I took my turn in laughing at him.

I ran into the house, washed my face and was back. I don't think I wiped it all properly but I desperately wanted the red velvet cake! "Hey go away! It's mine!" I called, as I shoved all the boys who were hogging on MY cake.

They smirked at me, and pushed me out of the way instead.

I looked at them in disbelief! However, they were gobbling down my cake and couldn't really see me.

Ashton came towards me, a huge piece of goodness in his hand. "For me?" I asked

He nodded, since his face was stuffed with cake as well. He fed me a little bite and then placed it in my hands before winking at me and going back to the table to stuff his face.

Once I was done with my cake, Maddison came rushing at me. She crushed me into a hug, "Happy Birthday you little annoying twat! I love you so much!"

I giggled at her failed attempt of being nice to me, "Thanks Madds! I love me too!"

She poked my sides, "say it back! Say it back!"

I started laughing; I was weak when it came to someone tickling me! Don't judge. "Okay, okay sorry! I love you too."

"Hey move it, fast, there is a cue behind you!" I heard Lisa say. I pulled away from Madds to see everyone standing in a line to wish me. I face palmed myself.

"Happy 17th Anns! I love you!" Lisa squealed.

Then came Andrew, "Happy Birthday lil sis," he winked at me and crushed me into a hug. "Aha, now you and I- we're the same age!" I said, happily.

"Only for 2 weeks tops." He shrugged laughing while I pouted. He kissed my forehead and pulled away.

"Ayo Jerry! Happy Birthday, I love you so much!" Mason said, hugging me and twirling me around, I laughed. "Thanks tom, I love ya too." he kissed my cheek and moved along.

"Anns, I love you!" Jer exclaimed, engulfing me into a hug as well. "I love you too Jer, but you forgot to wish me." I pointed out.

He chuckled, "Oh shit, Happy Birthday, you little annoying person"

And lastly, Ashton came over. He hugged me too, "Happy Birthday Diana, I love you." He said, and then kissed me. He finally kissed me! Butterflies started swarming in my stomach and elephants started dancing.

"OOOOOHHHHHHHH!"

"DAAYUUMM" I heard my friends holler loudly and clap.

Ashton grinned at me, when he pulled away. His eyes were twinkling. I blushed furiously, now I was looking worse than a tomato!

He linked my hands with his, and all of us walked into the house again.

I made my way towards the stairs with everyone, they all said bye and that they loved me before slipping into their own rooms. Ashton being a gentleman came to drop me to my room.

"I know I said it was wrong to kiss you before anything happened, but I couldn't help myself." Ashton started, rubbing the back of his neck, "I'll make it up to you. I intended on asking you out, of course. I would be a complete idiot not to. I wanted to do it perfectly, which is why I can't ask you to be my girlfriend now." He explained.

I started at him in shock.

Was this for real? Was he saying what I heard he was saying?

"Say something?" he asked.

"I-you, uh, we-are you for real?"

He smiled, "Yes Anns I am."

"I don't know what to say" I was at complete loss of words.

"Just remember that I did everything for a reason, and I will be completely honest with you tomorrow. I don't have intentions to ruin your birthday, I just want to be honest with you and give you all the answers you have been looking for."

"I-uh, okay. Dammit Ashton! I won't be able to sleep today!"

He wiggled his eyebrows, "Oh, so you need help?"

I shoved him off, laughing.

"Night Anns, Happy Birthday." He said, kissing my cheek and walking away, whistling.
