Chapter 1: The phone call (Logan's p.o.v.)


    Why? Why does she have to come back? It's not like we get along. I don't see the point why mom called to tell me this. It's not like we're ever going to see each other. So much shit has happened between the two of us.

    So mom told me that Cameron has finished school. Oooh, who cares. Because surely I don't. To tell you the truth, I don't even know what she went to school for. All I know is that she has been gone for about five years. And those five years has been the best.

    For five years my life has been great. No Cameron butting in, taking over things. It's been great. Now she's back, and I know for sure it's all going to go down hill from here. Great, just what I need. Not!

    I guess all I can hope for, is to not see her. Or have anything to do with her. Just like I have for the past few years. But knowing mom, she'll want me to at least talk to her. Maybe just for mom's sake I'll talk to her. But not because I want to. No, definitely because I don't want to. Only for mom 'cause I know she'll beg, and beg, and beg till we at least speak to each other. Maybe I'll just say 'hi' and that's it.

    Just then my leg started to vibrate, so I knew my phone was going off. I already knew who it was before I even looked at it. It was mom. She said she would call back. And what do you know, she did.
 

   Picking up my phone, I hit the answer button. "Hey mom." I didn't sound to thrilled. Hope she doesn't notice.

    "Hi, sweetheart." I heard her say on the other end.

    "Please don't call me that." I'm even more not thrilled. That's what she calls her.

    "Logan, I am your mother. I can call you whatever I want." She sounded a little mad.

Oh man, great. What is she going to make me do?

    "Okay. Sorry."

    "You better be sorry." Geez, what is wrong with her? I thought I was the one in the bad mood. Mom is hardly ever like this.

    "O..kay. So..."

    "I'm sorry honey," she sighed.

    "It's alright."

    "It's just your sister is coming home today and her flight gets in, in a couple of hours. And now I can't go pick her up. Your father obviously can't, he's not even in the country. And now I have to leave. The only other person is you. I know the two of you don't get along, but I need you two to get along till I at least come back. That means she is going to have to stay with you. I don't want her to be left alone at the house. She's never been here before and I need you to do this...."

   She was ranting and I let her. Not paying much attention to what she was saying. She tends to do this when she's stressing. I tend to pretend to listen to her when she does that. I think that's the only thing me and Cameron ever really had in common. Ignoring mom on her rants. Wait, what did she just say?

    "What?" I asked.

She sighed. "Weren't you paying attention?"

    "I... uh.." I mumbled.

    "It doesn't matter now." She sounded angry again. I guess I should of paid attention. Oops.

    "Like I already said, you have to go pick up your sister from the airport."

    "What!" I yelled, standing up.

    "Logan! Do not yell."

    "Sorry mom. But I don't want to go pick her up. Why can't you?" I so do not want to get her. I'd rather do anything then go get her. Anything!

    "Logan, you have to go get her." She said in that tone all mothers have. The 'you better do as I say or else' tone.

    "Mom" I whinnied.

    "Logan Phillip!" Shit.

    "You. Are. Going to pick up your sister. I can not do it. My flight leaves in an hour. And I wont be back for a few weeks. You would of already known this if you listened the first time."

    "Sorry mom." I apologised while sitting back down, running my hand through my hair.

    "You better be. I love you honey."

    "Yeah, love you too. So, I just have to go get her? That's it?" I hope that's it.

    "Yes, you have to go get her, and she's staying with you." What, no way!

    "Mom, no. She's not staying with me!"

Silence was all I heard on the other end. Oh shit. That is not good. I took a deep breath.

    "Logan Phillip Henderson! Do not argue with me! You are going to pick up your sister. She is going to stay with you. End of discussion. Cameron has never been here and, I don't want her to be left alone. Do you understand?" She yelled, but softened her voice at the end.

    "Yep, loud and clear." Uhg, this is horrible. I thought having to go get her was bad. Man, I was so wrong. This, this is much, much worse. And now I don't have a say in it. She probbly already told Cameron and if I don't let her stay, she'll just go and tell mom. That I do not want!

Man I don't want her to stay with me. Oh god. How am I going to tell the guys?

    "Logan?" Huh, what?

    "Uh, yeah?"

    "You do have an extra bedroom right?" Mom asked.

    "Uh, yeah. I mean kinda."

    "What do you mean kinda?"

    "There's an extra room, but all of the guys' stuff and mine are in there. You know the fan stuff."

    "Oh, yeah that's right. Well you better clean it out for Cameron." How could she forget about that? She's the one that suggested we use the extra room for our fan stuff. Even Kendall's mom agreed to it.

    "Yeah, sure. How long is she going to be at our house?" Yeah our house, mine and the guys'. We don't know why but our manager wanted us all to be living together for some unknown reason. So we've been all living together for a few months now. It's really weird if you ask me. Not only am I in a band with them, I spend about fifteen to twenty hours a day with them on set. Then we all have to go back to our house. Yeah, I love them like brothers, but seriously we need time away from each other once in a while.

    "Oh till I get back. Okay Logie-bear." She said all sweetly. Yuk.

    "Whatever. It's not like I can say no, mom."

    "That's right. Well I better be going now. Flight leaves soon. Don't forget to pick her up at eight. Bye honey. Love you!"

    "Okay. Bye, love you too." Then she hung up. I sat there, staring at my phone.

Great, this sucks.
