Stolen Omen »Michael Clifford AU«

Chapter Two

Jaseys POV:
'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls played softly from the speakers of my Mac book which sat comfortably on my desk in my bedroom. It had been around two hours since my encounter with rose and in that time i had managed to sleep away some jetlag but the sleepy feeling was still prominent. I had to admit, I was still slightly creeper out by the fact that someone was murdered in my new home. It made me feel insecure about living here on my own. I meant, Rose had given me her mobile number and she did seem to mean it when she said I could call her anytime but I wished I had someone in the house with me.

As I began arranging my albums on the shelf hanging on the wall over my bed, my laptop began beeping indicating to me I was getting a Skype call as I had been promised.  Grinning like a fool, I plugged my headphones in and answered the call. A familiar face in the shape of my best friend Alexis came onto my screen. She was wearing an all in  and holding a cup of what looked like juice. It had only been a short time since I had left both her and Luke back in London but I already missed their presence.

"HII JASEY!" Alexis squealed through the laptop making me mutter "shit" under my breath and turn the sound down.

"Oh oh. I see how it is missy . You think just because you moved to the US of A you can't say hi to because you're 'Mrs All American' " she placed a hand on her chest pretending to be hurt.

"Okay Alex, one that made no bloody sense what so ever and two where the hell is your boyfriend?" I pointed out referring to Luke who was nowhere to be seen.

Alexis frowned then looked to her left, right then like the idiot that she was she checked underneath the bed she was sat upon . "I thought he was here... LUKE GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW JASEY IS ON SKYPE!" She screamed making me wince again even though I had turned my sound down to a reasonably low level. She noticed and mouthed 'sorry' as Luke clumsily came into view wearing a male version of Alexis' all in one and holding a puppy I had never seen before.

"HI JASEY!" he greeted just as loudly as his girlfriend so this time I tore the headphones out of the laptop and let their voices echo off the walls of my empty house in fear I may become deaf.

When Luke had kissed Alexis and made himself a 'warm spot' on the bed for him and their new labrador puppy called Kurt who was given to them by Luke's close friend Calum, we began to talk.

"So, Jase, how is the land of the free so far?" Like dramatized 'land of the free' with big arm gestures earning him a 'what the fuck' look from both me and Alexis. Even the puppy stopped gnawing his sleeve and gave him a straight 'no' face making us all cackle like hyenas.

"It's alright I guess" I replied when I had recovered from my giggles "it's much bigger than London, the weather's amazing and the people I've met so far are..." I paused trying to think of a word to describe Rose "interesting"

Alexis put her drink down and clapped her hands "okay, more importantly, how is the new bachelor pad"

"Bachelor pad? Babe, really?" Luke shook his head.

"Okay calm your balls Mr land of the free insert massive arm gestures" she retorted making Luke chuckle.

"It's uhhhhh..." I shifted uncomfortably on my chair.

Luke furrowed his blonde eyebrows "is everything okay Jasey?"

"No no it's fine... I mean... AGHH."

"JUST SPIT IT OUT WOMEN!" Alexis shook her hands about.

"Look whose miss insert massive arm gestures now!" Luke sniggered.

"Okay guys don't choke-"

"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" He interrupted before collapsing into a fit of giggles.
