Sorry for how late this is! This is part three and last part of my series, The Replacement. Thank you readers who have been with me from Part 1. I would truly love it if you would read this last part too. I do not own Just My Luck or McFLY.
Chapter 4 (Dougie's P.O.V.)
I slowly trudged into the baggage claim area, looking for my lovely little sister. By the way, that was sarcasm.
As my eyes scanned the area, they landed on a short dark haired brunette girl. She had a dark tan complexion wearing a jean skirt, a white sweater, and those sandals girls are so fond of today.
"Jem!" I called to her. She looked up from her hot pink blackberry and over to me. She just sighed, and then she grabbed her luggage and slowly walked over to me. That really bugged me; I wanted to get back to Stephanie as quickly as possible.
"Took you long enough." She mumbled as she handed me her gym like bag.
"Sorry." I slung the bag on my shoulder and led her out to my car. "How was the flight?" I asked, putting her bags into the boot of my car and then slid into the driver's seat just as Jem slid into the passenger seat.
"Boring."
"How's the Philippines?"
"Boring."
"School?"
"Boring."
"Is there anything in your life that's not boring?" She turned to me with a sour look.
"No." And then her head snapped back forward. I groaned and concentrated on the drive back to McFLY Mansion. Before I could take anymore silence between my sister and me, I turned on the radio, blasting Blink-182.
(Stephanie's P.O.V.)
"NO I'M NOT GONNA WINNNN!" Dave yelled making me laugh.
Once Dougie left to pick up his little sister, we all decided to play Guitar Hero. Dave decided all the guitar players should challenge each other.
Danny versus James, then Danny versus Tom, Danny versus Dave, and then Dave versus me. How Dave beat Danny I will never know. When he actually plays guitar he can't help himself and dances all over the stage.
Currently Dave and I were battling it out. I chose the song Lucky by SR-71. I just had to buy that song for this game. And because I was a pro at this game, and the guitar solo, I was schooling Dave.
96,880 to 65,080.
"Face it Dave, you're done for!" Steve said from the couch behind us.
"TOO MANY BUTTONS TO PUSH!" Dave continued to yell making us all laugh even more.
"Oh, no Dave. The song is almost over." I said with a smile.
"AAAAAAH!"
"I'm back!" I heard Dougie's voice call once the front door opened.
The song abruptly stopped and I won.
"NOOOOOOO!" Dave cried as he fell to his knees. We laughed even more and harder.
I slipped off the guitar controller and placed it on the couch. I walked over to the foyer just as Dougie entered the living room. He pulled me into a hug and placed a light peck on my cheek and turned around, sliding his right arm around my waist.
"Jem, this is my girlfriend, Stephanie. Steph, this is my little sister Jem." His sister didn't smile. She seemed to take a long time to examine my appearance before she spoke, and when she did, it surprised me.
"It's so nice to finally meet you!" She said with a huge grin.
"Uh…thanks. It's nice to meet you too." She skipped to her brother's side and pulled on his left arm.
"Not as pretty as expected but whatever!" I felt a bit crushed about her comment, and what's worse, Dougie didn't even seem to hear her. "Show me the rest of your friends!" She said cheerfully. Dougie's arm slid from my waist and followed her to the rest of the gang.
After Dougie introduced Erica she quickly looked at me with a concerned look.
She mouthed the words, "Are you okay?" I thought to myself, unsure how to respond. So I shrugged. She nudged Ren, and Ren nudged Bianca, immediately all three of them ran over to me and dragged me to the foyer.
"Steph, what's on your mind?" Ren asked. I bit my lip and continued to think.
"I….I feel uneasy about Dougie's sister…" The three of them exchanged looks. "The way she came up to me…it's as if she told me she hated me through a smile. Plus…did you hear what she said about me?" The girls exchanged looks and Erica finally asked me.
"No, what did she say?"
"She said she expected me to be prettier!" I felt my eye twitch just remembering the comment.
"Steph, what are you saying?" Bianca asked. I thought to myself for a moment and then took a deep breath.
"I think…something is going to happen."
