One Month Later ~
Michael’s Pov~
“The animals, the animals, trapped, trapped, trapped till the cage is full.”
“Beetle juice Beetle juice Beetle ju….”
“Say it Bella, what am I?”
“My best friend’s brother is the one for me! A punk rock drummer and he’s six foot thre….”
“A baby’s gotta do what a baby’s gotta do.”
“Scooby dooby doo, where are you we’ve got so…”
“What’s new Scooby Doo, we’re gonna follow you, we’re gonna solve that mystery….”
“Greatest Simple Plan song of all time.” Calum mumbled, peeling strips of string cheese off of the stick for Cooper who was sat on Luke’s lap.
“Oh yell no, are you delusional?” I scoffed, “I’m just a kid is the best.”
“Mmmm, no this song saved my life.”
“No scobby Doo.”
“Luke, tell Calum he’s being stupid.” Ashton sighed.
“Sorry buddy.” Luke laughed, adjusting Cooper on his lap, “What’s new Scooby Doo is my jam.”
Rolling my eyes I continued scrolling through the TV channels.
“I’m the super nanny….”
“Today on nineteen kids and countin….”
“I’m Harry….Just Harry.”
“PERCY JACKSON!”
“I’m just a kid who’s four each day I gr…”
“So how was it earlier?”
Tearing my gaze away from the glowing box I glanced over at Ashton who had spoken.
“How was what?”
“You know…” Luke said nervously, “The…you know…. Chemo?”
Glancing back at the bathroom door where I could hear Jess taking a shower I shrugged.
“The same as it was when Stella got it.” I mumbled.
“What happens?” Luke asked, “Does it hurt?”
“You throw up.” I muttered looking back at the TV.
“Did she cry?” he pressed.
“No.” I answered stiffly.
“Did you cry?” Luke whispered, “Your eyes were red when you came back but Ashton said not to ask you an…”
“Luke!” Calum hissed elbowing him.
“Sorry.” Luke mumbled.
“Is she excited to be on tour?” Ashton asked, clearly trying to change the subject, “I know she hated you taking time off and flying out to see her every weekend.”
“She’s happy to see you guys.” I replied.
“Is she bald yet?” Luke asked.
“Luke! Mate fucking hell!” Calum cried, “Ashton and I gave you a list of things not to ask!”
“Oh.” Luke breathed, “I’m sorry I thought that was a list of things to ask.”
“You made a list?” I said slowly.
“I’ve been bored since Ashley left.” Ashton said defensivly.
I opened my mouth to reply however before I could get the words out I was interrupted by an agonized scream.
