Cobain had thrown herself in the floor as Liz stood trying to pull her out of the house. "Come on Cobain, Its just for the night, you haven't seen grandma in forever." Luke told her, pulling her up off the ground and pulling the crying girl to his chest. "But I want to be here, I want Anna to play dolls with me." Luke sighed, "Maybe another day, I'll have Anna and you two can play dolls." Cobain groaned. "Fine." She wiggled till she was out of Luke's grasp. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow? Okay. Have fun tonight, remember to tell Grandma if you're chest hurts alright." Cobain nodded, her big eyes still teary. "Alright, I love you." Luke bent down and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "Love you too daddy."

"This is Miranda, Emily and Ella." Ashton said as he pointed to each of the girls. " Luke nodded before heading to the kitchen to get a beer. "When's Anna supposed to be here?" Calum asked as he slid next to Luke , also grabbing one. "Um, she told me 5:15." Calum nodded and popped open the cap. "Do you like her?" I coughed, surprised of the question. I did, sorta, she was a nice girl, no doubt about that, and it was great about her getting along with Cobain. "Um, shes okay." I heard a slight laugh and spun around to see Anna leaning againt the wall on the other side of the kitchen. "I'm just okay?" My eyes widdend as I walked to her, "Eh" she laughed again, and gave me a hug. "Where's Cobain, she thinks I'm better than 'Okay'" "Oh, well she's at her grandmas, but there's other girls here, i havn't really met any of them, so maybe we should go do that." i nodded my head in the direction of the living room where there was some laughing and talking.

"Anna!" was the only thing Luke heard before there was a rush of girls coming striaght for Anna. He quickly moved out of the way, leaving Anna to fend for herself. 'Luke, mate, why didn't you bring us some?"Michael asked. He's already had some,as in 2 bottles. You could tell becasue he was way more hyper than usual, and that only happened when he had a drink or two. "Maybe next time I get one I'll grab you one too."

After a few minutes of the girls being huddled in the corner talking, they finally came back, Ashton had moved some pillows, giving Miranda some room to sit, Emily and Ella where sat on the floor and Anna was sitting next to Luke.

"So, how was Australia?" Miranda asked Anna, she srugged "i meet this really cute girl awhile ago." Lukes eyes widened. "Her names Cobain, luke, you know her right?" she laughed as she saw Lukes eyes and fianlly relax. "Well saying that I played apart in making her, I sure do." They all laughed as Luke leaned back in his seat. "No but really, it's great here. i love it, and all the people here." Emily then started talking about what Anna missed in Washington.

A few hours later, and a few too many beers later, everyone was a laughing mess. Michael was telling jokes he found on google. "Knock knock." he laughed, "Who's there?" Ella giggled, she was crying now from laughing so hard. "Iva." Luke shrugged my shoulders, not knowing where he was going with this joke. "Iva who?" Miranda relpied. "I've a sore hand from knocking." Everyone was laughing harder, clapping and "that was stupid micheals were heard. Finally after afew more horrible jokes, Luke was able to push himself off the couch, with the help of Anna. "So I'm assuming everyones sleeping here tonight? Or are you Americans profectional drunk drivers?" Anna shook her head. "My ex boyfriend sucked at drunk driving." Mirandas head was thrown back from a laugh. "Oh my God, right, I mean he died because of it!" Anna contiuned to laugh. "After that night all you ever did was drink, and then like 6 months you became sober right? How long have you been sober now?" Emily asked. Luke looked at Anna and her face was confused. "I was almost a year." She dropped the now almost empty bottle onto the floor, luckly not spilling all over the rug. "I ruined it again. fuck, I always ruin everything." Luke say his beer down on the coffee table and glanced at Ashton, as if asking what he was supposed to do. Ashton just gave a shrugged and stood up. "Lets givie Anna and Luke some time, to talk about things." Everyone followed his out of the room and into the hot air outside.

Luke gabbed Anna's hand a lead her to the kitchen, grabbing both of them some water. They sat there in silence for awhile, quietly drinking their water. "You never mentioned having a drinking problem." Luke finally spoke. He figured that since she wasn't going to speak up, he might as well.

"It's not something I tell a lot of people." She wasn't a giggly mess anymore, she was quiet and wouldn't make eye contact with Luke. "Why did you turn to alcohol? You're boyfriend died because of it. I didn't start smoking packs of cigeretts once my girlfriend died." She shrugged. "I don't know. I was mad at him I guess. He was at my house the night he died, and we had been drinking, and he decided he wan't to leave because he had work the next mroning or soemthng. I don't remember. But we got in this huge disagreement, and I finally just gave up, and told him that if he left we we're over, and he left. it was like a half an hour later that I got a call to head to the hospital becasue he had gotten into a car accient and he wasn't going to make it." Luke wasn't sure if he was supposed to go over and give her a hug, or grab her hand that was resting on the table, and after a few moments, he went with grabing her hand, and he gave it a light squeeze.

It took me like a year and a half to realize that the alcohol wasn't doing anything other than making me sick and grumpy all the time, so i went to detox, and then rehab and I've been sober for a year now, until tonight. I don't know why I decided to do it, nobody even told me to have one, I just I think It's because I thought you guys would think I'm weird if i didnt have one." Luke shook his head. "I wouldn't care, hell I'm usually the one with the water bottle." Anna nodded, "Well, yeah. You have a daughter." Luke let out a breathy laugh. "Yeah, she's changed me in in the 3 years she's been alive." "For the better?" Luke nodded and took a sip of water. "For sure." "She's a cute one." Luke nodded again. "I have always had this love for Kurt Cobain, thats why I love her name so much." "Oh? You chose it?" Luke laughed, "surpising much?" "Really is."

It was half an hour later, the rest of the group walked in, and declared it was bed time. Everyone agreed, and soon Luke found himslef in bed, thinking about how maybe he did like Anna.
