To the Moon//Michael G. Clifford

Home

Luke, Calum, and Michael are in my room with my bras over their shirts, except for Luke the bra was on his head, and my underwear over their pants.

"TARA YOUR HOME!!!!!!" Michael screamed picking me up in a bone crushing hug.

"WHY ARE YOU WEARING MY UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!" He pulled away and smiled.

"Because we ditched school after lunch to be here when you got home. We were waiting for so long and we got bored and put on your underwear and were playing around. Now Tara, who's that?" Michael nodded his head toward Ashton. I turn around and see Ashton and Calum talking. Aww they already hit it off.

"Well, I was being bullied at school an-"

"What do you mean you were bullied?" Michael looked upset at what I said.

"Michael don't worry it was nothing. Now, as I was saying, my teacher was talking to me after class. When I got out the little drummer boy was sitting against the lockers and we talked and I told him that I was now his 'REJECT best friend'. Then he drove me home and you guys were in my underwear and now we're talking." I look past Michael for the first time and see Luke sitting on my bed staring at the wall with my bra still on his head. This is too good of a moment to miss, so I pull out my phone and take a picture.

As soon as the picture is taken and the snapping sound goes of Luke turns and tackles me.

"Tamara, delete the photo." Oh we're gonna play that game now. Okay.

"No, Lucas" He glared at me. "Yeah, I know your full name too. Now can you please get the fuck off of me?"

"Nope." He decided it would be smart to put all his body weight on me and and then just smile at me like the dork he is. "Hi, Tara"

"Michael...please help....need...air." Michael came to my rescue by pushing Luke off of me. "Thanks"

"No problem." He smiled up at me with that adorable smile of his. "Um, Tara do want to come over later and play some video games with me?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll be there around sixish. Ohh can I spend the night please?" I love sleeping over at Mikey's. It's so quiet and there's no brothers or sisters annoying you. "We can have pizza and ice cream. We'll watch movies and play video games. Oh Michael please?"

"You had me at pizza. Do you want me to wait and walk with you over there?"

"Or...we could wait until my dad comes home and give us a ride over so we don't have to hold everything." Right when I said that Michael made a disgusted face. My dad does not like the fact that the only friends I have are boys. And they know that so, the boys and my dad don't get along...at all.

"Can't we wait for your mum to get home. She actually likes us."

"No, my mum's working late tonight."

"If we wait" he let out a heavy sigh. "I'll let you bring Popcorn." Michael never lets me bring Popcorn over to his house. Popcorn is my bunny that I love.

"REALLY!?" I asked hoping he was serious.

"Yes, if we wait for your mom I'll let you bring Popcorn." Michael said and I gave him a big hug.

"Who's eating popcorn?" Ashton looked so happy to hear that there was popcorn...little did he know.

"No no no. Popcorn is Tara's bunny." Luke said as he picked up Popcorn and put her in Ashton's face. "See."

After a few hours of us hanging out, getting to know Ash, and him meeting my family, the boys (except Mikey) left. My mum and Mikey were talking while I was packing a bag for tonight, when Ryan walked in my room and hopped on my bed with a dopey smile on her face.

"What's got you so happy!?"

"I'm going to marry him one day. Our children are going to to be the cutest things to walk the earth." Ryan was just glowing and I knew this all to well.

Let me introduce my sister Ryan. She 14 years old and is boy crazy. Ever since she was 9 she's just been from one crush to another to another. Her first one was Luke, until he yelled at her because she was scaring him (funny moment). She always talks about how they are 'the one' and then a couple weeks go by and she gets bored and moves on.

"Ahh. Let me guess," pause for dramatic effect. "Ashton."

"Yes. Oh my god did you see his eyes?" She looked straight at me with seriousness.

"Yes, I did. They are very pretty." I said not focusing on my little sister as she daydreams about the boy who literally left 20 minutes ago.

"And his smile." She gushed.

"Oh yes. His smile just melt your heart doesn't it?" (Note the sarcasm dripping from my mouth)

"His nose is so cute, too"

"Soooo cute."

"You know you don't have to be mean." she got straight up and left my room. I didn't even notice Michael standing in my door way until Ryan stormed out and knocked into him. He didn't seem phased as he went to pick up Popcorn and sat down next to me.

"You ready?" Michael said while Popcorn snuggled up to him. I don't know why he never wants me to bring her over he's always holding her and he seems happy with her.

"Hey, Mikey?" He looked at me to show he was listening. "Why don't you let me bring Popcorn over anymore?" I just want to know because he used to let me bring her over.,

"Well....last time you spilt blueberries all over the carpet. I just don't want to have to clean that up again. But I think your more responsible now. Right?"

"Yes"

"Okay. Let's go your moms waiting in the car." And with that he left my room with Popcorn in his arms. I grabbed my stuff, said goodbye to my family, and left the house.
