Chapter 25
Happiness POV
I blushed and managed a little smile, happy to hear how important I am to Louis and the rest of the family. In that moment, my body finally decided to give out and I fell into a deep, dreamless slumber.
It's Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Friday, Friday
Gettin' down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend
The person started singing on top of their lungs the most annoying song on the planet and did I mention that they sang it totally and utterly off-key? I didn't know what cats sound like when they are being squashed but I have a pretty good idea now. Before my ears start bleeding, I cracked open one eye to tell that person to go sing that awful song somewhere else, preferably a place in the middle of the Sahara desert where no one would hear her. From my limited vision, I saw Claudia, standing on top of my bed, jumping up and down like a monkey and belting out Justin Bieber lyrics.
"What the heck are you doing Claudia? Why do you always have to wake me up in the most terrible ways? Stop singing! You sound like a herd of monkeys fighting for a banana. Some people are trying to sleep you know." I shouted over her horrid singing, with my hands covering my ears as her singing got louder and louder. Claudia stopped singing instantly and looked at me, grinning mischievously,
"Well hello to you too Happiness! I told you to wake up but you didn't listen so stop complaining about my beautiful singing. Anyways, Louis told me to come and get you for dinner." I gasped, "Dinner? Already? How long have I been asleep?" I questioned her.
"All afternoon, it's 8:00 pm now." I groaned and rolled out of bed, rubbing my tear stained cheeks,
"I'll be down in a few minutes." She nodded and gently grabbed my hand, her beaming smile disappearing and concern look replaced it,
"Are you okay Happiness?" I gave her a small smile and reassuringly squeezed her hand,
"I'll be fine."
After Claudia left, I quickly brushed my out of control bed hair, washed my face with Laneige face wash and applied a fresh coat of mascara and my chapstick from Innisfree. I also changed my outfit, slipping on my soft Bambi onesie. Once I was ready, I made my way downstairs, the smell of tacos instantly came over my sense of smell. Louis spotted me as soon as I entered the dining room and came over. He gave me a quick kiss and then took my hand, leading me to the dining room where everyone was waiting.
"Did you sleep well little one? Are you feeling better?" He asked, concerned and worried
"Yup, I sure did and I do feel a bit better," I answered with a little smile.
"That's good, stay strong little one. You must be hungry, Claudia, Taylor and Juliet made tacos and nachos for dinner." Louis said as he pulled out my chair. I sat down and smiled at Blake gratefully,
"My favorites, yay!" Louis took his own seat next to me and grinned.
Once everyone settled down, Matthew asked me randomly,
"Happiness, what did you dream about?" I giggled a little bit, thinking back to my strange dream,
"My dream was about being at a nail salon and a sloth was doing my nails. He kept telling me that I had
"beautiful toenails and cuticles" and that my feet smelled like
"a tropical fruit cake." Then, he started to sing the pen pineapple, apple pen song, I got annoyed because I didn't like that song so I asked E.T., who was sitting next to me, getting a pedicure as well, to stab the sloth to death with his pointer finger… Everyone paused their actions and looked at me strangely.
"Uh… that's an interesting dream, Happiness…" Juliet said, a little freaked out.
"Yeah! It wasn't the weirdest dream I have ever had though… do you guys want to hear the weirdest one?" I inquired.
"No thanks, we're good Happiness" Matthew answered, laughing nervously. I heard Jade whispered to Louis, thanks to my enhanced werewolf hearing,
"Dude… your girl is scary… even her dreams are terrifying." Louis replied, whispering as well,
"I know man… I never ever want to get on her bad side." I chuckled, what a bunch of loopy loops, little old me, scary?
After dinner, which I must say was absolutely delicious, we all gathered in the living room to watch a movie, which was a great distraction to my current situation if you asked me. Claudia, Juliet and Taylor and I all got down on our knees and begged the guys to watch The Lion King. We finally had to use our secret weapon in order to get the guys to agree… the puppy dog eyes. The guys, being big softies they are, said yes, mainly because they could never resist our puppy dog eyes. I busted into tears when Simba's dad dies, it gets me every time. Louis laughed a little and hugged me closer. After the movie, I was half asleep so Louis carried me up to bed. I don't know why I felt so sleepy today, even though I slept for most of the day. I guess the news about seeing my old pack again must have really worn me out. I tried not to think about it too much, but I can't help but worry. I haven't seen or heard of them for more than months. Are they going to hurt me again? How will they react? Will they remember me? Do they still hate me? I wondered so many questions that are still left unanswered running through my head. Louis placed me down delicately on the soft mattress and kissed my forehead, "Sweet dreams little one. I adore you." He then tucked me in, like a small child, like he did each night.
"I adore you more Louis." I murmured back. I felt the mattress dip and Louis warm and comforting arms wrap securely around me before I fell into a blissful sleep.
