Kat's Pajamas
Camila's pjs
Harper's Pajamas
The pajamas Kenzie gives Harper (you'll seeð)
"Katrina Emilia Jones, I am very disappointed in you!" Mom scolded.
"Emilia", Levi snickered, trying to cover it up with a cough.
Kat glared daggers at him.
Allow me to explain the series of events that led up to Kat being humiliated by our mother dearest.
We were having a perfectly normal dinner with Will's ears going red when he saw my bare legs and me teasing him about having a leg fetish, Ashley arriving to dinner, Camila eyeing Will like he was a piece of meat, Cody telling me about his last basketball match, Edward making a dirty joke about the sausages therefore making it the untouchable dish on the table and Levi constantly kicking Kat from under the table.
You know. The usual.
But then as the dinner was coming to a drama free end.
Kat got sick of Levi and dropped a bowl of steaming hot soup all over his pants. Levi yelped in pain as he fell off his chair, hitting his head on the floor as Kat watched with a malicious glint in her eyes and a satisfied smirk on her face.
And now here we are.
"Meredith, it's really no problem, Levi's perfectly okay", Callie assured my mom.
"No Callie, I am extremely sorry, my daughter clearly doesn't have enough manners", mom huffed as she glared at Kat, "If there's anything I can do to make up for it, please do let me know",
Levi cleared his throat.
"Allow me, Miss Jones, you don't have to make up for anything but could I maybe ask you for a favour?", he asked.
"Of course, anything!", Mom's face lit up.
"KitKat mentioned something about a sleepover that she has with her cousins and I was wondering if me and Will could join? We won't bother you, I promise", he pleaded making mom melt like ice on the spot.
"Of course, Levi, that's a wonderful idea", Mom beamed.
"Eight is fine but nine's a crowd", Kat mumbled.
"Why eight?", I asked.
"Will isn't a jerk that's why", She retorted.
"Ouch KitKat, that hurt", Levi clutched his hand to his heart, letting out a dramatic sigh.
Kat rolled her eyes.
I chuckled and turned my head, only to make eye contact with Will, my cheeks went very red before I could turn away. Damn my stupidly slow reflexes.
"So it's decided, we're going to have a sleepover together Kitkat!", Levi announced as he threw an arm around Kat's shoulders.
"I will cut off your arm", Kat growled at Levi, making him step away from her as Will stood between them to make sure she doesn't pounce on Levi.

"Oh noo way, no way am I wearing that", I cowered away from Kenzie as she shook her head in disappointment.
"Harper, you have a beautiful body BUT YOU DON'T USE IT!", Kenzie scolded.
"What's wrong with my normal pajamas?", I groaned.
"Harper, I love you but trust me, if you don't get into these pajamas right now, I will go full on mama mode on you and chase you around the house", Kenzie threatened.
"Fine", I replied, "But I'll only try it on and nothing else", I warned.
"Nooo problem", Kenzie grinned.
I snatched the pajamas from her hand and changed into them, just for the sake of getting over with this as fast as I can.
I stepped out of the closet to find my room empty.
"Kenzie?", I called.
No reply.
I stood in front of the standing mirror in my room.
Damn did I look good.
The black lacy shorts reached a little way past my butt, barely to my thighs. My cleavage was clearly visible through the lacy material in the front. My tanned arms and legs were in display and the black material made them appear longer and tanner and made me look a lot more seductive than I actually am.
Damn it! Why does Kenzie always have to be right?
I leaned backward against the cold bars of the mirror as I waited for Kenzie to come back.
The door opened.
But it wasn't Kenzie.
Unless Kenzie had a tall, lean figure, messy black hair and beautiful blue eyes.
"Fuck", we both said simultaneously.
I covered my chest with my arms as Will slammed the door shut.
I tried to move away from the mirror when I felt something tug at the back of my top.
Double Fuck.
"Fuck, I'm sorry Harp", Will rambled as he stood outside.
"Will",
"I should've knocked, Ah fuck",
"Will",
"I'm sorry Harp, I just-",
"WILL!",
"What?",
"Could you please come inside and lock the door behind you please?",
"Are you trying to seduce me Harp?", he taunted, resuming to his cheeky personality.
"Oh God No!", my face flushed with color, "I just-I seem to be stuck to something and I'm afraid that moving will cause something to rip", I explained.
Will carefully opened the door as I stood there with my arms crossed across my chest and my cheeks as red as flaming hot cheetos.
"Where are you stuck?", he asked, advancing towards me.
"Somewhere here", I pointed at the back of my top.
Will put his arms around me, engulfing me in his scent. It took me all my willpower to not bury my face in warm chest.
I watched his eyebrows scrunch up as he strained to get me un-stuck. I could feel the heat radiating off his body as his hot breath fanned my forehead.
"Why are you even wearing this?", Will chuckled.
"It's a long story",
"I'm over at your house for the entire night",
"It's a very very VERY long story", I emphasized.
"How many more verys are you going to add to that excuse to make it legitimate?", he taunted.
"As many as I need to", I replied.
Will laughed as he kept trying to un-snag me. Suddenly, his hand brushed against a patch of exposed skin on my waist, making my breath hitch in my throat and my body stiffen up.
Will noticed my reaction.
Obviously.
He looked down into my eyes. His eyes flitted over to my flaming red cheeks and then to my lips. With our faces were millimetres away and his breath fanning my face, my urge to kiss him was stronger than ever, and I was losing self control by the second.
"I-I-Is it d-done?", I managed to ask.
"Um yeah uhh", Will cleared his throat as he moved away from me, rushing out the room.
Well that was embarrassing. I pressed my hands to heated cheeks as I tried to shake away all the thoughts that were coming to my dirty mind.
Oh my god, I have to get myself in control.
Will
I took a seat down on the floor beside Levi.
"Are you blushing?", Levi's eyes searched my face.
"Pfft. No", I brushed him off, "You're the one blushing with the girl beside you",
"The only reason I'm sitting here is because the snacks are here", Kat replied as she elbowed Levi again when he tried to put his arm around her.
God, she's so much like Harper.
Speak of the devil.
Harper and Kenzie came down the stairs. Harper was now dressed in a tank top and a pair of black shorts. She and Kenzie were arguing about something while Kenzie kept laughing and Harper kept on speaking in angry whispers.
"Trust me, you'll thank me someday", Kenzie said as she slumped down on the armchair in the corner.
Harper flipped her off as she sat down beside me, snatching the popcorn from my hands.
"Hey!", I protested.
"Go get yourself another one", she mumbled before stuffing her face with popcorn and giving me a chipmunk smile.
I groaned in frustration as I got up and walked towards the kitchen, what a child.
I was walking down the hallway when I realised I didn't know where the popcorn is, I was about to turn around and go ask when I bumped into one of Harper's cousins.
"Shit, I'm sorry", I apologized.
"You don't need to apologize baby", she smiled at me seductively.
"Umm thanks, I guess", I tried to walk past her but she backed me up against the wall.
"Are you and Harper dating?", she ran her hands up my chest.
"Uh no, we're friends",
"I knew Harper wasn't pretty enough to land a guy like you", she giggled, fanning my face with her breath.
"Are you drunk?",
"A little tipsy", she replied, still giggling.
"You should really go to bed", I said.
"Well then you should take me to bed", she slurred.
"I'm good really", I answered, trying to push her away.
Her hands travelled down my chest and to my pants as she gripped me....well....on my crotch.
"Are you sure? We could have a lot of fun together...", she grinded against me. She reached her other hand to grab me by the hair and pulled my lips down to her, taking me by surprise. She shoved her tongue into my mouth and bit my lower lip as she placed my hands on her ass. Her hands travelled under my shirt and went to the waistband of my sweatpants when I heard a gasp.
I snapped my head in the other direction, breaking the kiss, when I saw Harper standing there, her mouth open in shock.
"Ugh, what the fuck are you doing here?", Her cousin snarled.
"S-Sorry I-I just n-need to get some soda", she rushed past us and into the kitchen.
"So where were we?", Her cousin bit her lower lip seductively.
I pulled her hands off me and pushed her away.
"Stay away from me", I said sharply before going behind Harper.
I reached the kitchen entrance when I saw her standing in front of the sink. She was trying to pour some Fanta into a glass while her hands shook violently and she breathed heavily.
"Harp are you alright?", I asked.
"Um-yeah-h, I-I'm a-alright", Her voice shook terribly.
"Harp, you're shaking what's wrong?", I took her hands in mine. They trembled vigorously under my touch.
She pulled them away from me.
"I'm fine Will, just-t s-stay a-away", she backed away from me, her hand knocking down the glass which slipped off the counter and landed on the floor with a crash, glass pieces splattering all over the floor.
"Harp, get away", I lifted her off the floor by the waist, pulling her away from the shards of glass.
Her body shook powerfully in my arms, her face looking down at the floor.
"Harp look at me", I said.
She shook her head.
"Harper look at me", I ordered.
She didn't reply.
I put a hand under her chin, lifting her face up to meet mine.
Tears were flooding out of her chocolate brown eyes. Her cheeks were stained with as her bottom lip quivered vigorously. She was crying.
She pushed me away and bolted out of the kitchen.
Why was she crying?
Was it because of her cousin? No, Harper doesn't cry because of things like that.
Was it because Chelsea, Courtney or Tanya did something?
It must be because of them.
I went back to the living room to find Harper sitting next to Levi, smiling as she watched the movie, her cousin sitting behind her on the couch.
I took a seat next to Harper and she stiffened just for a moment. Her eyes refused to meet mine.
Suddenly I felt a hand run through my hair.
"You have really nice hair Will", Her cousin stated.
"You're messing up my hairstyle", I said, giving her a glare that made her retract her hand.
I watched as Harper still didn't look at me as 10 minutes passed by. Losing my patience, I took the hand that was resting on her knee, interlocking my fingers with hers. She looked at me, her eyes wide in surprise. I took her hand and pressed my lips to it. I pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.
"I'm here for you when you need me, now give me a smile", I gave her a slight tickle.
A smile spread through face as she tried to suppress her laughter. I didn't stop until she was back to grinning ear to ear.
"Now there's the Harp I know",
*****
By the time the movie was over, Kenzie, Liam, Ashley, Edward and Anna had already gone to bed.
I rubbed my eyes and yawned sleepily as Harper snuggled up against my chest, wrapped up in the blanket that we were sharing. She looked like kitten and I suppressed a laugh as I heard her let out tiny snores and saw the drool on the corner of her mouth.
"Hey Levi", I nudged Levi with my hand.
"Hmm?", he replied.
"You should go upstairs now", I suggested.
"I'm pretty comfortable here", he replied, gesturing to Kat's head resting snugly on his shoulder.
Ah, he's smitten.
"I'll take Harp to bed then, goodnight", I lifted Harper off the floor and she adjusted herself in her sleep.
Cody and I went up the stairs and stopped in front of Harper's room.
Cody looked at Harper adoringly as he ruffled her hair.
"That's my sister you're holding man, she's smart but when it comes to emotions, she's an idiot", he chuckled, "I know you guys are archenemies and whatnot but try to keep her safe from guys like Mason, she deserves better in her life",
I nodded understandingly as Cody walked away.
I opened Harper's room quietly and set her down on the bed.
I was about to leave when something caught my eye. The table lamp on her desk was on, revealing the bulletin board on the wall behind it, decorated with fairy lights.
It was covered with memories. There was picture of her with her parents when she was a toddler flashing a two-toothed grin at the camera. A picture of her, Liam and Kat as they both applied makeup on Liam who didn't look very happy about it. A few pictures of her and Kenzie when we were in middle school. A picture of me and her in the first year of high school with war paint on our faces when we joined forces to prank the seniors. Then there was the picture that mom had showed her, the one where me and Harper were having ice cream at the hospital.
I can only wonder how she manages to put a smile for the entire world. She's done it ever since middle school. She kept everything hidden. No matter how much she was hurting, she pushed through. I can say it without a doubt, that Harper is one of the strongest people I know.
Awwww he called her strong. But hey we all hate Camila now right?
