Being Brad's Sister

43. Bowling

Brad's pov

It isn't easy seeing my sister looking so distraught, it really pains me because there is nothing I can do. It isn't like I can stop Zoey moving away or anything so knowing I can't do anything to cheer her up is killing me and I can see in Emzy's eyes that she is dying. I can't even say I know what it feels like because I don't. I don't know what it is like to have one of your best friends move away let alone have them move to a different country. I just don't know what to do except for be there for her and I don't feel like that is enough.

FLASHBACK

We have finally finished in the studios sorting out the plans for recording our vocals and the videos for the new single. We've decided to go with a song called 'Somebody to you' and it will feature Demi Lovato. The song is pretty catchy and we are all happy with the choice. We rung Demi up today and have arranged to meet up with her for the video next week but unfortunately we can't meetup before then to practice as we both have different schedules and she is in America right now so the day of the video will be the first day that we will actually sing the song together. It will be a bit of a challenge I guess but it will be fun.

I've not long got home so I go straight into the living room and flop onto the sofa not being bothered to walk up the stairs to my room so I can flop on my bed. The sofa will do for now anyway. I close my eyes enjoying the peace and quiet as nobody is home. After a yawn escapes from my mouth I feel myself starting to drift off to sleep.

A door slams shut making me jump into the air. I just catch a glimpse of my sister running past the room I am in and thumping up the stairs slamming her bed room door shut minutes later. It sounded like she was crying. She was fine earlier so why is she crying? Pushing myself off the sofa I run up the stairs after her. I try to open her bedroom door but it is locked.

"Em what's up?" I call through the door. "Open up Em." I hear her sob inside the room but there is no way of me getting into the room. I wish I knew how to pick locks. "Em open up. Why are you crying?" The worry and concern dripping from my words. "Emma!" I say getting more worried as she cries harder and harder. What on earth happened? "If you don't open up or at least tell me then I will find a way in! Come on Em please. I want to help you. Don't cry." She cries even harder but I hear a muffled 'go away'. That is the last thing I am going to do. I can't leave her like this. She has never cried this much or this badly before. Whatever has happened it has to be serious.

I move away from the door and run into my room looking out of the window to see if it is possible to climb into her room. Unfortunately her window is closed so it would be a waste of energy climbing. Running back downstairs I grab my phone and call Jayna. It goes straight onto the answer machine so I try again but the answer machine picks up again. I try Zoey a few times but I get the same result. Answer machine. Why are they not answering their phone and why is my sister in her room balling her eyes out? I can feel myself getting more stressed out as I try to think of what I could do. James! I ring his number and he picks up pretty quickly.

"James can you come over please?" I plead, he can probably tell through the tone of my voice how worried I am so he knows it is serious.

"Be there as soon as possible." He says without hesitation and hangs up. I run back upstairs and stand outside of my sister's room.

"Emma please open up. What is wrong? Tell me something please? I'm worried about you."

"Just leave me alone. Leave me ALONE!" She shouts through her tears. Okay she never shouts like that. Her voice is cracked and her words are dripping is sorrow and pain.

"I don't want to leave you alone, please, Em we tell each other everything how can I help you if you don't tell me what is wrong?"

"You can't help. Nobody can!" I slide down the door bringing my knees up.
