Wooo. First story on this site. Hope it doesn't suck too much. D:
I do not own McFly, neither do I want to. :
"I hate you, you know that? You get to go travel all over the world while I'm stuck in a shitty-ass flat in England, whilst your sunbathing in Oz. And now it's raining."
"AJ, don't even give me that, we offered to let you come with!"
"Okay, I know, but I couldn't easily just quit my job to go on tour with you."
"Yeah, because Starbucks pays much better than...um, selling millions of albums?"
"Danny, you're so fucking cheap, like you'd give any money to your little sister."
"I have no problem buying things for Hannah."
"Yeah, because she's five and you got her into the cartoons you like. You just buy her toys and stuff so you can 'borrow' them from her."
"You just made quotes in the air when you said borrow, didn't you?"
I felt my cheeks burn when he said that...he may be thousands of miles away, but my brother still knows how to embarrass me.
"Maybe...and how did you know anyway?"
"Cause you're my sister, I know everything about you. And you're wrong, I would give you money."
"Okay okay, sorry I said anything, I just...ow! fuck!"
I absently set my hand down on the counter, right on top of my straightener, that I just finished using.
"AJ? Are you okay? What happened?"
"I burned my hand with the straightener."
"Why do you always straighten your hair? I could never do that everyday. Well... not anymore."
"Well, you don't have to, you have awesome hair that tons of girls, and I bet some guys, love. My hair is just all wavy and frizzy and looks like shit."
"Your hair does not look like shit!" Okay, that voice did not belong to my brother.
"Dougie! How did you know I said...Oh my God! Danny! You have me on speaker phone!"
"Um...sorry..."
"Look, I'm running late, and I gotta drop Hannah back off at Mum's, talk to her while I finish getting ready."
"AJ, please don't make me talk to her."
"Sorry, your punishment is enduring a phone conversation with a five year-old."
"Andrea! You are not going to..." His voice faded out as I handed to phone to Hannah.
"Joey!"
I could picture him cringing on the other end of the phone. Don't get me wrong, we both love Hannah, she's our sister, but it is extremely difficult to hold a conversation with a five year-old, who has a three second attention span.
I got to work almost twenty minutes late. Damn Danny and damn Mum for giving me every detail about her holiday. And I mean every detail.
"Andrea! You're late!"
"I know, I'm sorry...hey, where's Shayna?"
"She called in sick, so I've had to take care of the customers while I was waiting for you!"
I ran to the back room, threw my apron on and ran back to the counter. I was a bit distracted for most of the day though, Shayna never ever calls off, I've known her since we were six years-old. She has to be really sick to not go to work. I decided to go check on her after I got off. I called her first though, because her boyfriend, Dustin, is a controlling asshole and doesn't want her seeing me outside of work. I know it's just because he knows I'll eventually convince her to leave him.
"Hello?"
"Shay, it's me. Are you feeling okay?"
"Can...can you come over?"
Her voice cracked and I could tell she was trying not to cry. I just hung up, not bothering to even say goodbye and got to her house ten minutes later. I knocked and as soon as the door opened I gasped. She had a huge red mark on her face, obviously from Dustin.
"Oh my God, Shayna! Did Dustin do that?"
The tears pouring out of her eyes were enough of an answer for me.
"Get your stuff, you are not staying here anymore."
"But...what about..."
"You're gonna call the police about Dustin, you are staying with me, and the guys won't be back from tour for another week, we'll figure out what to do after that."
"Okay..."
"I know you're disappointed that you won't see Danny for another week, but dont worry, I'm pretty sure he likes you too."
I expected her to blush and get embarrassed that I called her out on it. I know they both like each other. But, Shayna actually burst into tears again when I said that.
"Oh God, Shay, I'm sorry...I didn't think talking about Danny would get you upset."
"No it's just...he's the reason Dustin hit me."
Review and all that good stuff, please? :)
