Chapter 2

"Lauren! Lauren! Lauren!" I felt someone jumping on my bed, I slowly opened my eyes and rolled over. "What do you want Lilly?!" I asked annoyed. "Get up! We're leaving for the airport in half an hour!" Lilly screamed at me and then ran out of my bedroom.

I groaned and got out of bed. "Dad?!" I called for him. "Yes, Lon?" "Are we eating breakfast before we leave or when we get to the airport?" "Now, everyone's here and waiting for you." "Everyone?" "As in us and the Simpsons." "I'm not hungry."

I turned to walk into my room but my dad caught me and flung me over his shoulder. "Dad!" I screamed as he carried me downstairs. "You are spending time with that boy if it's the last thing you do." "I don't want to socialise with that jerk!" I shouted.

I felt something hit my bum. "Ouch! What and who was that?!" I asked as my dad set me on my feet. Cody held a glass to his mout to hide his smirk. "What did you throw at me, Simpson?!" I put my hands on my hips. "What makes you think it was me?" He asked innocently.

"How stupid do you think I am?" "Do you really want me to answer that?" I tried to walk towards him but Brad put his hand infront of me. "Leave it out." He warned, he looked from me to Cody. Cody's smug look faded.

After breakfast I went to my room and changed into some short shorts and a light pink, tight belly top. I put on my makeup, the usual. Foundation, face powder, eye liner, mascara and then light pink lip gloss. I left my hair to fall naturally and then picked up my hand luggage.

"Trey?!" "Yeah?" He walked up the stairs. "Can you carry my suitcases to the car for me?" "Yup." He picked up one in each hand and walked back down the stairs, I followed behind him.

"Lauren?" I heard Tommy call me, I turned around. "Hey." "Just so you know, I think you could definitely take Cody in a fight." "Me too." I high-fived him. "I heard that." Cody appeared behind Tom. "Superhero big brother isn't such a hero in Tommy's eyes." I teased.

"Shut up, I would win a fight with you." "Wanna bet?" "Co-" "No!" I heard Trey shout at us. I huffed and walked out of the house, I got into the car and put my headphones on. I waited for everyone to get in and eventually they did.

"Hurry up Lauren! I know it's a private jet but we still have to be there on time." My mom told me as we both ran to the jet. "Did you want a puddle on the floor?!" I asked. "You could of used the restroom on the plane." "Oh yeah and then I would kiss Cody." I said sarcastically as we arrived at the steps of the jet.

"So you think about that?" I heard Cody as we arrived at the plane. "Leave me alone, Simpson." "I do have a first name, you know?" "Oh yeah, jerk." I fake smiled at him and walked into the jet with Alli. "Jerk Simpson." Alli laughed at me.

I sat on a seat and got comfortable, I put my headphones on and plugged them into my phone. I played my music loudly to block out everyone else. I guess you could say I didn't like flying and especially not with that Simpson kid.

I felt someone shake me softly, I must have fallen asleep. I opened my eyes and looked over to see my mom. "What is it?" I asked. "We're here." "I slept the whole way?" "All you kids did." "I'm not a kid." I stood up and put my headphones around my neck.

"You're my kid." She kissed my cheek, I laughed and pushed her away. "Mom!" I giggled as she left lots of kisses on my cheek. "Mom, quit it!" I ran off the jet, she followed after me with a smile on her face. "You'll always be my kid, Lauren." My mom called after me.

"Wow." I whispered in awe as we walked over the ocean on a broadwalk to the place we were staying. "Wait.." I stopped. "Who's staying in which huts?" I asked as I turned to face the adults. "Brad and I are staying in one with Tommy. Your mother and father are staying in one with Lilly and Trey has his own one." Angie smiled and everyone walked to the doors of their small villa.

"And us?" I asked as I looked at Alli and Cody. "Catch!" Brad threw a key at Cody, he caught it and looed at Brad in confusion. "That one's for you three." My dad smirked at us. "WHAT?!" Cody and I shouted at the same time.

"Gee, thanks guys. I get the pleasure of making sure they don't kill each other." Alli groaned as she took the key off of Cody and walked into the room. "No! I'm not spending my whole holiday with him. I refuse. No. Not happening. Nope, sorry No." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Oh come on, it's not like you hate me." Cody teased. "No, Simpson. It's just like that." He laughed and pushed me through the door. "Get off me!" I pushed him backwards. "Okay, I don't mean to alarm anyone but there's only two bedrooms." Alli said as she came into the living room.

"That's fine, we'll share." I told her. "They both have double beds." "I'd rather share a bed with you than share a bed with jerky over here." I said as I walked into the room she had just came out of.

Alli and Cody went out onto the platform that connects all of our small villas, it faces the ocean so you can swim in the ocean. There's a BBQ on it and sunbeds, there was a patch of glass flooring in the living room of our villa which meant you could see the ocean. It was a beautiful villa and a truly beautiful place.

I changed into a plain, white bikini that ties up on my hips and my back and neck. I left my hair down but put a hairband around my wrist just in case and then I walked outside. "Hey sweetie, would you like a drink?" Brad asked me as I walked past him.

"Um.. Yes please, what is there?" "Cola?" "Yes please." I watched as he got it out of an ice bucket. "Hey, Lauren! You're supposed to wear clothes, there's kids around." Cody shouted to me. "I'll be back in a minute, Brad." I told him.

I knew I was being watched by everyone as I slowly walked up to Cody who was stood on the edge of the platform, I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him backwards. I watched the splash and then smiled in satisfaction, everyone laughed. I walked back over to Brad and took my drink from him.

 "Thanks." I smiled sweetly and layed down on a sunbed, I closed my eyes and relaxed. I felt the sun being blocked, drops of water fell on me. "You don't have to stand right there." I put my drink on the floor and moved the person who I knew was Cody with my foot.

"You're gonna get it." He whispered and then walked away, I opened my eyes to look for him after a few minutes. He was sat on the edge of the platform with Lilly, they were playing together. "Going to get what?" I asked as I sat next to Lilly.

"Aye?" Cody asked with a smirk. "Don't play dumb." "I'm not playing dumb." "Oh yeah, I forgot you were dumb." "Right that's it!" Cody got up, he picked me up and threw me into the water. I managed to surface myself and then I had the best idea in the world.

I winked at Alli and then started to dunk myself under the water as if I was struggling to stay above the surface. "I can't swim!" I screamed, Cody froze. "Help me!" I dunked back under the water and then came up and spat water out.

"Please! Help me!" I pleaded. Cody's face turned dead serious while everyone else was trying not to laugh at my mini show I was putting on. "I can't breathe!" I screamed and then I went under the water.

I didn't come up, I heard a splash and then someone lifted me up. "Lauren?! Lauren are you okay?" Cody asked me as he held me above the water, I didn't open my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Cody? Is she okay?" My dad played along. "Lauren!" Cody started to panick more. "Lauren, please!" he pleaded me. "I'm so sorry." He whispered as he held me tighter. I couldn't hold it much longer and exploded with laughter.

Everyone else laughed too, everyone accept Cody. "Was Cody scared?" Trey teased him. "Ugh! I hate you!" Cody said as he pushed me off him and swam to the platform, he climbed up the ladder and walked inside our villa.

"Was that a bit harsh?" I asked with a smirk. "I think you gave him a heart attack girl!" My dad laughed as he helped me up the ladder. "I know." I giggled as I wrapped a towel around me. "It was amazing acting though, if Alli hadn't laughed I know I would of panicked." Brad laughed.

"I'm amazing." I laughed as I layed back down on my sunbed. "You know he's probably in there planning your murder." Alli laughed as she sat on the sunbed next to me. "I'll just play dead and he'll panick and try to save me." I giggled.

After a few hours I decided to have a shower and change into my pyjamas, I dried my hair once I was out of the shower and put on some pyjama shorts and a tank. I decided it was too hot to sleep in the tank as it was quite tight to I went to Trey's villa.

"Hey, Miss Actress." He greeted. "Sup bro." I smiled as I walked in and flopped onto the couch. "You were so good earlier, if Alli hadn't of told us then I would of come and saved you myself." I laughed at him.

"Are you coming outside in a minute?" Trey asked. "With who?" "Everyone, Brad's made that really nice pasta with the chicken."  "Oh my gosh! I'm out there." I said enthusiastically. "Trey, do you have a shirt I can borrow to sleep in?" Yeah, how come?" He asked as he walked into his bedroom.

"It's too hot to wear something tight." "Your shorts are pretty tight." "Yeah but they're short." "Too short, there's guys around you know!" Trey told me and he threw his shirt at me. "Oh yeah, Cody's going to check me out." I said sarcastically.

"He did a pretty good job at it earlier." "When?" "Just before you pushed him in the pool, he proper checked you out." "Well he's only human." I smirked as I strutted to the door and posed, Trey laughed at me. "Sexy one me." "Yeah, real sexy." He laughed again, I laughed and walked out.

I went to my room and changed my tank to Trey's shirt. I walked out to the platform and saw everyone sat around the table."You're just in time, I was just going to come and get you." My mom smiled at me.

"That's if you hadn't drowned in the shower." Brad smirked, my dad laughed at him. "You know what Lauren!? One day you're going to really need my help but I won't be there to give it to you." Cody told me as he stood up. "I didn't say anything!" I defended myself. "You didn't have to." "You threw me in there!"

"Can we just have 10 minutes without an argument from you two?!" Lilly asked. "Your sister's a meanie." Cody told her as he sat back down. "I know, she's my sister! I have to live with her." Lilly agreed with him. "You can do your own makeover when you have sleepovers then." I huffed and sat down.

"I love you really!" Lilly smiled at me sweetly, I laughed at her. We were all given a dish of pasta and everyone digged in. Once everyone was finished we talk for a while and then went back to our own huts.

"Hey, Cody. Can you pass me a drink from the fridge?" Alli asked as she got comfortable on the couch next to me. "And me?" I asked him. "Here." Cody passed Alli a drink but not me. "You're so childish." I told him as I got up to get a drink.

"I'm childish?!" "Yes, you're childish!" "I'm not the one who pretends to drown to see if someone's going to feel bad or not!" "It so worked though, you had a heart attack." I fell to the floor with laughter, Alli let out a giggle.

"Shut up, Alli." "Don't talk to my best friend like that." "She's my sister, I'll talk to her how I want." "Not if I have anything to do with it, Simpson." "Well, Miller. There's nothing you can do about it." "SHUT UP!" Cody and I both turned to look at Alli.

"Come outside." Alli told us, we followed her. "I can't stand you guys fighting all the time! Untill you sort it out you're not coming inside." "That's not fair! You can't do that." I exclaimed. "Watch me." Alli turned around and walked back inside, she locked the door and then walked off.

"That's your fault." I told Cody as I walked to a sunbed and sat down. "My fault?!" "Oh good, you can hear." "You're so.. ugh, I hate you!" "Oh really? I thought you loved me." "No, not everyone is obsessed with you." "That's a bit rich coming from you."

"Excuse me?" I ignored him and layed back on the sunbed. "Lauren, get up!" He pulled me up. "Get your hands off me." I pushed him backwards. "You know, not every girl wants you to touch them." "Most of them do." He smiled smugly, I scoffed at him.

"You're disgusting!" "The girls don't think that." "No, because they're so obsessed with your voice, good looks and muscles that they can't see how stupid and pethetic you really are." "You think I look good?" He smirked.

"Don't talk to me!" I pushed him. "You want me, it'sobvious." Cody sat on the sunbed next to me and smirked at me. "No, I'd rather sleep with a homeless person than even kiss you." "Ouch." Cody pretended to be hurt.

Cody layed back on the sunbed and it went silent for a few minutes. "Looks like we're sleeping out here." Cody pointed out. "I don't like the dark." I said quietly. "You're scared of the dark?" He laughed, I didn't answer.

I rolled over and faced away from him. "Why do you have a boy's shirt?" "It's not mine." "What? Who's is it?" "Why do you care?" "Do you have a boyfriend?" I rolled over to look at him, he was sat up and looked worried.

"No." "Who's is it then?!" He raised his voice. "It's Trey's! What's it to you anyway?!" Cody layed back down and sighed. "Nothing." "Should think so too! Since when did you care who I date?" "You're dating?" He sat up again.

"I'm 15, what do you expect." "Do you have a boyfriend now?" "No." "Are you a virgin?" I laughed at him and rolled over again and it went silent for a few more minutes.

"Cody?" "Did you just call me Cody?" I ignored his question. "Can you come and sleep next to me? It's scary out here." There was a slight pause until I heard Cody move and then I felt his body behind mine, he put one arm around my waist and held me close to him. "And just so you know, I still hate you." I said quietly. "Me too."
