Michael Clifford's Sister

Chapter 1

"Ky hurry up, we're gonna be late!" Michael shouts.

"Coming!" I rush down the stairs, to the front door. My mom, Karen, and my brother, Michael, wait for me.

"Ready?" Mike asks.

"Yeah."

"Let's go."

"Be careful!" mom calls.

We walk out the door, and get in the truck. Mike puts his sunglasses on, I roll my eyes. "Drive already."

"To Calum's house!" He yells. I put in my earbuds and play some All Time Low.

Mike taps me on the shoulder, I yank my earbuds out. "What?"

"Turn it up."

I plug my music in, and crank up the volume.

"Oh yeah!" All Time Low is Mike's favorite.

"Alex's voice is amazing," I yell over the music.

He nods. "I've got you're picture, I'm coming with you. Dear Maria count me in. There's a story at the bottom of this bottle and I'm the pen," he sings.

I smile. I've always loved Michael's voice, low and raspy, but beautiful. I come in on the first verse, we always sing songs like this. I sing the first verse, we both sing the chorus, and he sings the second verse. He knows the routine, and keeps quiet. "When the lights go up I wanna watch the way you take the stage by storm, the way you wrap those boys around your finger. Go on and play the leader cos' you know it's what you're good at. The low run for the fast track, make every second last."

He waits for me to finish, but instead of singing he turns the music off. I don't question him because I know he's about to tell me something important. "Ky I know that you think I never wanted a sister-"

I cut him off. "I don't want to talk about this right now. In fact I never do."

"Here me out."

"Fine."

"But Ky, you can't really think that."

"Mikey, it's all good."

"No it isn't. The truth is I never wanted a sister."

I suck in a sharp breath.

"But since the first time I saw you in the foster home, I knew you were the one. The one I wanted to protect, to keep the boys away from you. To always have you around, and to teach you how to see the world like I do. You're the best sister in the world, I love you."

Tears roll down my face. "I love you too. You're the best brother I could ever asked for." I wipe the tears away. "You can't keep Luke, Cal and Ash away from me though."

"I could, but I won't."

"Good. They're my best friends, and besides they'll never feel that way about me."

"You'd be surprised."

"What do you mean?" I ask, but it's too late.

He doesn't answer because we pull into Calum's driveway. Mike gets out, I wait until he walks over to my side, and opens the door for me like he always does. We walk through the front door together. "We're here!" Mike yells.

Luke, Calum and Ashton rush to see us. They engulf us in hugs.

"Okay what's going on here? I saw you all yesterday, so why are you hugging me?" I ask.

"We finished it!" They exclaim.

"You guys finished Gotta Get Out?"

Luke nods, and I hug them all over again.

"We finally can make a YouTube video now." Calum says. He winks at me, and no one else sees it but me.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mike leads the way.

I sit behind the camera, and the guys get ready.

"Okay ready?" I ask.

"Yeah."

"And go."

"Even when the sky is falling down, even when the earth is crumbling round' my feet. Even when we try to say goodbye, you can cut the tension with a knife in here. Cos' I know what'll happen if we get through this.

And if the earth ends up crumbling down to it's knees baby, we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out. And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby, we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out.

Cos' I feel so damn lost, and it comes with a cost of being alone. Every thing is falling down we're suffering helpless thought and out we sing prays go to the sky.

And if the earth ends up crumbling down to it's knees baby we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out. Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out. And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out.

And if we fall it's not you're fault, shadows covering our selfish foes. As our love can go out on a high note. Even when the sky is falling down, even when the earth is crumbling round' my feet. Around my feet.

And if the earth ends up crumbling down to it's knees baby we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out. Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out. And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out.

We just gotta get out. We just gotta get out. We just gotta get out.

We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out."

They all look at me, and I smile. Then they start to laugh, and I turn off the camera. "That was really good guys."
