Summary: The blonde hair and the brown eyes always got me. I couldn't ever resist the grin, who would have thought I'd fall for Tom's little sister?
Disclaimer: Do not own McFLY, their sister's (in this story that I made up) I do own, becauseeee, I made these sisters up.
Lyric of the Chapter: Just look into my eyes, because the heart never lies.
Falling In Love:
Chapter 1: Down Goes Another One
I remember the first time I saw her. She wasn't like most 17 year olds; never gossiped, never flaunted her boyfriend or herself, never wore too much make up or too tight of clothes. She was the shy, quiet one that always sat in the back but knew the answer to every question that was thrown at her. She wasn't bullied nor did she have very many friends but people knew and liked her.
And she wasn't annoying either. When the band practiced, she would be our audience. She helped us on lyrics and chords, even got us snacks when we wanted some. She was extremely funny when you actually sat down and talked with her.
Her features made me think of Tom instantly, considering he was her older brother. Same tousled blonde hair, brown eyes that always gave away what emotion she was feeling at the point, and as she grinned, the Fletcher dimple was right there on her left cheek
I noticed all this on my first week in the Fletcher household.
She wasn't afraid to be in her 'lazy' clothes around us, that was how I first met her. Curled up on the couch, in sweatpants and a t-shirt, eating a bowl of cereal and watching some program on T.V.
"This is my sister, Molly-Anne" I remember Tom saying, she had turned toward the four of us and grinned and waved slightly. I even found her cute then.
When we went out to practice in the garage, she had left us alone for the first day until Tom called her out to have a listen. She had sat on the hood of Harry's car, listening to our first song. I remember the grin she gave us as she swayed to the music. It made me grin as I played, looking at her every once in a while.
She had turned out to be our biggest fan. A fan that I had no idea that I could fall for so hard, so fast.
Throughout the first two years of our success, she was always with us. Backstage at our gigs, in crowds at CD signings, and always there for us when we had a lyric or chord in our head and we wanted an opinion on it from someone who wasn't in the band. The fans knew and loved her; she was funny and witty when we brought her on stage.
I even remember the day she left for America to pursue her own dreams, because I knew she couldn't stay with McFLY forever. It was a day none of us wanted to happen but we knew it was coming toward it. I remember everything, the cries and the hugs. I really remember her goodbye to me.
"See ya, Danny." She had hugged me as tight as a 19 year old could and I never wanted to let her go. She never believed in the word goodbye, because to her, that meant forever.
I had merely ruffled her already messed up blonde hair and said, "See ya soon, Fletcher." She grinned at me through her tears that rimmed her brown eyes. The band always called her 'Littler Fletcher' or just 'Fletcher', the fans even caught on to it.
I remember seeing Tom cry as he clung to his only sibling, his best friend. I think it hit him the most, seeing her leave clear across the ocean to live.
And I remember seeing her on July 14 of 2006, boarding on a plane to New York City. But one thing I don't remember is not knowing that that was the last time we would speak or hear from her for a few years.
And looking back now, I'm kicking myself for not telling her my true feelings.
"Mail!" Fletch called, he was our manager and now he was currently waving for bundles of mail in the air. I was instantly pulled from my thoughts about her when one hit me in the face.
I wrinkled my nose as I picked it up, Dougie's laughter ringing through my ears, "Sorry, Danny." Fletch mumbled as he exited the studio room.
"In away land, Dan?" Tom's teasing voice asked as I looked, seeing the boys going through their mail. It was mainly fan mail but that was the best part of the week, reading them. Today just didn't feel like a day for fan mail for me though.
I merely stuck my tongue at him, childishly, as he laughed, giving me a cheeky grin. His grin pulled my back to her and I shut my mouth that I had opened to say something. I looked toward my mail, shuffling though it. I knew Tom's grin had slid right off his face. I looked over at him, seeing him staring at his clump of mail. In the background I could hear the laughter of Dougie and Harry as they went through their mail, reading the marriage proposals, gifts and other things that should not be mentioned.
"Sorry, Tom. I'm just…" I paused, trying to come up with an excuse when his voice brought me to look at him.
"Are you okay today, Danny? You seem out of it." I closed my eyes once more, shaking my head slightly to his question and sighed.
"Do you know what day it is, Tom?" I asked back at him, the date had made me think of her. She turned the grand old age of 21 today and I knew Tom knew what I was talking about.
"She won't answer. She's too busy and we've tried every birthday." Tom sighed as he spoke it quietly. He was still a bit upset over her leave with was two years ago to this year. I held out my hand anyway, demanding his phone.
"You can still try." I responded as he gave in, grabbing his phone from his pocket and going through his contacts. When he dialed her, he handed it to me. Tom knew about my feelings for my sister, wondering if they would go away when she left. But he looked exactly like her, so it didn't help much.
The line continued to ring and I got impatient. She wasn't going to answer, Tom was right. I was just about to hang up when a voice came across the other line, "Hello?"
And I nearly dropped the phone.
You know the drill people. :] Read&Review.
