Chapter 18 - Rudely awakened.

A Chapter by 0_o Abbie

The fun of big brothers.

"Sam. Sam. SAM!"

Sam moaned as Tom poked her. "Go away." She mumbled into her pillow.

"Sam up." Came Kyle's voice. He did not sound happy.

She moaned again and rolled onto her back. "What?"

"Sam get up we have to met for breakfast with someone."

Sam groaned. "I'm not hungry."

"Sam you're asking for it." Kyle said. Irritation dripping from his words.

She turned on her side. "Kyle shut up."

He chuckled bitterly. "You're so gonna pay."

She ignored him and pulled the covers above her head. The covers were torn viciously from her body. She suddenly felt cold. Her tank top and shorts did nothing for warmth. She jolted awake as large hands gripped each of her ankles. "No! Kyle I'm up!"

He ignored her and began pulling her by her ankles off the bed.

"Kyle! Stop it! I'm awake you ignoramus!" She screamed. He was pulling her agonizingly slow. She was struggling but had nothing to grab hold of.

"Kyle." Came Tom's tired voice.

Kyle ignored them both and jerked her off the bed.

This had been done enough that she had the presence of mind enough to flip her body so she'd land on her butt. She hit hard. She glared up at Kyle who was grinning smugely. "Was that really necessary?"

"You asked for it." He said as Tom sighed.

"Children children." He sighed. Then abruptly said, "Shut up."

Sam glared and stuck her tongue out at Kyle. "Butthead." She mumbled.

Kyle rolled his eyes. "Mature Sam. Very mature."

She glared. "Because pulling someone out of the bed by their ankles is so mature."

"Guys. Seriously quiet." Tom intervened.

Sam looked up at Tom. "So what the heck do you guys want?"

"There's someone we have to speak with. Over breakfast." Tom answered.

"Who?" Sam asked confused.

Tom shrugged. "Some guy who's supposed to tell us what this is all about. So get dressed. I want you to look nice."

Sam gave him a bored expression. "Thanks Tom. Because I don't dress nice all the time."

Tom rolled his eyes. "Sam just get dressed okay? Please no lip."

Sam looked at him confused. She wasn't being unusually mouthy. Just normal. What was wrong with him? She thought about asking but instead just coincided. She'd figure it out eventually. "Fine." She looked around and took in the room. She'd noticed nobody but her two brothers. She realized Calvin was standing off to the side. "Where's Jed and his parents?"

Tom shrugged. "Jed's parents won't be coming here. The only reason Jed's here is because he was accidentally shoved in the car with you. He'll just stay here with us for now."

Sam nodded. When she'd gone to bed last night her brothers had just arrived. Their plane had been delayed for 6 hours. She'd slept in the same bed with Kyle, Jed slept in the other bed and Calvin had slept alone in a different room sharing his room with Tom and Jessica. She noticed another person missing, "Where's Jessica?"

Tom smiled slightly. "Morning sickness."

Sam raised an eyebrow. "And your happy about that?"

He shrugged. "She's beautiful."

Sam made a confused face and shook her head. "Weirdo."

Tom shrugged and made for the door. "Get dressed. When you're ready walk out to the dinning room."

Sam nodded. She had a vague idea of where it was. She stood as Tom passed her walking to the door. She glared at Kyle and he stuck his tongue out. She scrunched her nose at him and glared. Before Kyle could retort Tom sighed, "Kyle really?"

Kyle gave Sam one last look and followed Tom out the door.
