The Summer House

Jackson listened begrudgingly to the two of them argue. "Oh shut up." He said quite annoyed. Just then the remote flew over and hit him in the leg. "Watch where you throw things." He said. Taking the remote he scrolled over the two movies they argued about. "I have a better idea. Let's let Ariana choose the movie. She hasn't had a say in anything."

Ariana was starting to get a panic attack as Xander and Eli were arguing. She heard the microwave beep, saying that the popcorn was done popping. She used that as an excuse to get up and leave. Pulling out the one fully popped bag she put another bag into the microwave. As she waited for the second bag of popcorn she poured the first bag into a large bowl. The second bag finished popping and she poured it in the same bowl. As she was walking into the living room she heard what Jackson said. Shaking her head she said "oh no, don't you dare bring me into this." She turned around and walked back into the kitchen.

Eliza rolled her eyes dramatically and huffed. “Jackson just pick a movie jeez! I will literally never talk to you again if you turn this into a huge argument.” She told him, watching Ariana walk in with popcorn.

Xander just watched everyone else argue, not bothering to interfere. He simply got up, took the remote off Jackson and put on the first scary movie he found. “Happy now, lovebirds?” Xander asked as he sat back down.

Jackson rolled his eyes. "It doesn't have to be an argument. I was simply trying to be nice." She said when the remote was yanked out of his hand. "Fine. Be that way." He watched the tv as the movie started to play.

Ariana heard them all stop talking. Peeking her head out of the kitchen she walked the rest of the way out. She grabbed a hand full of popcorn out of the bowl and set the bowl on Xander's lap. Walking over to her own chair, crunching on the popcorn and watching whatever movie they picked.

[Berenice.]

Eliza glared at Jackson. “You weren’t being nice. You told me to shut up.” She mumbled, loud enough for him to hear her. She didn’t want to fall out again, so she left it at that and just watched the movie with crossed arms.

Xander nodded a ‘thanks’ to Ariana and began eating some popcorn, throwing a couple of it over at Jackson and Eli for them. By the time the movie had ended, Eliza was asleep and Xander had lost interest as he was busy on his phone.

Jackson stood up after the movie ended. He trudged up stairs and into bed without a word. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he was out.

Ariana grabbed the popcorn bowl and went to the kitchen with it. She dumped the kernels into the trash can before setting it in the sink. She walked back out to the living room. "Good night." She told Xander before heading off to her room.

The next morning, Eliza woke up after having a terrible nights sleep as she had slept on the couch. She dragged herself into the kitchen and made herself some breakfast, not trying to be quiet because she didn’t really care if everyone else was asleep.

Xander got up not long after Eliza. He quickly had a shower and got dressed, before strolling into the kitchen to grab some coffee. It was actually almost midday, but it was their vacation so he didn’t say anything.

Jackson woke up late like the rest of them did. He walked into the kitchen half asleep, eyes half open. He rubbed his eyes with the backs of his hands. "Do I smell coffee?" His deep grudgy voice asked.

Ariana was the first one awake out of all of them. She had went out to the kitchen that morning only to see that her friends were still asleep. So she ate her breakfast without disturbing them. So there she lay, in her bed listening to music with her headphones on and drawing in her sketch pad. She had no idea to what time it was or if the others where even up yet.

[Berenice.]

Eliza watched the two walk in, turning her head from them and crossing her arms. “Oh thank you for waking me up last night and preventing me from sleeping on the couch and waking up in pain. Oh wait. You didn’t do that. I had the worst nights sleep in the world thanks to you two dorks. I hate you both. Hate, hate, hate you.” She grumbled, sitting on a counter top and sighing loudly.

Xander just rolled his eyes at what Eli said. “Yeah, you do Jackson. I made you some because I’m such a nice friend and dragged you on this vacation in the first place.” He told him, sliding a mug of coffee across the table towards him.

Jackson took his mug of coffee and walked over to Eli. He kissed her head before sipping his coffee. "Sorry. I was tried." He said.

Ariana blew some eraser bits off her sketch pad. She had just finished a drawing of Xander. 'I'm not creepy.' She thought to herself. Her note book was half full of drawings of people. Half of those people being Xander, others was of herself. She had also drawn Eli and Jackson. The three had smiled on their faces, but the one of her didn't. It was just her blank expression. Closing her book she shoved it under her pillow and went to the kitchen. There she saw the three of them up; finally.

[Berenice.]

“Oh of course you were tired. But now I feel like someone’s just broken my back so thank you very much.” Eliza said sarcastically with an obvious fake grin on her face.

Xander looked over at the doorway as Ariana came in. “Oh look who decided to finally show up. I would’ve thought you’d be the first one here. But Eliza was. I am well and truly shocked.” He laughed, sipping his coffee.
