Unpredictable ~LH & MC~

two

{Emily's POV}

Kathryn and I finally make it to my house after 10 minutes of walking. I'm only 15 so I can't drive. I could've called my mom to pick us up, but my house is a 3-5 minute car ride so I decided to walk instead. Austin had to go home for something with his parents so he didn't tag along. He hated coming over anyway. Luke doesn't really like him and he could sense it so it bothered him.

When we first walk in the house I'm greeted by my mother hugging me. "Who is this?" She smiles at Kathryn. "I'm Kathryn Sims. I just moved here from California and I go to school with Emily." Kathryn politely says back.

"I'm Liz, Emily's mother. Please ignore any noise you hear coming from the extra room back behind the living room. Emily's older brother is in a band and they practice at our house. There is four of them, and they're all seniors at your school actually! They come out for snacks often so I'm sure you will meet them. Maybe you can make a few friends out of it." My mom says before disappearing towards the kitchen.

"You didn't tell me you had a brother." Kathryn glances at me as she set her backpack down by mine.

"It never came up." I shrug. "Also, if you want to you can leave your shoes by our backpacks." I say as I slide my black high top converse off. She takes her sandals off before we start walking around the house.

"So my house isn't too confusing. I'm going to walk you through this part since it's a circle." I smile as I walk through the hall area. We take a left into the living room that leads to the room where the guys were practicing. You could hear the music all of a sudden come to a halt. I saw green hair and knew it was Michael coming out of there.

"Emily!" He practically yells as he opens his arms as if he wants me to hug him. I walk the two steps toward him and hug him. He smiles widely while he wraps his arms around me.

"Who are you?" He says towards Kathryn. "I'm...and your.... and what?" She looks at me confused.

"This is Michael." I smile towards her. "I know who he is!" She laughs. "He's in my favorite band." Michael just looks at me then back at her.  

Then I hear someone behind me and see Luke emerge from the room. "Who is she?" He rudely asks pointing to Kathryn. "She's our number one fan." Michael snickers as he turns around and goes back into the room. I huff at him then look back at Kathryn. She is still in shock of what just happened. She must really like them.

"Of course you are." Luke says before glaring at me. "Another fan." He scoffs.

"I'm sorry if-" Luke cuts Kathryn off. "You need to leave." Luke says glaring at her. Her face drops and she pulls out her phone.

"You can't just tell her to leave! I invited her here not you! You're being a real asshole and I don't appreciate it!" I practically scream for the entire house to hear.

"Oh I'm being an asshole? You're the one who invited an obsessed fan into our house! You know I can't stand people stalking me and then going off and telling the world all about me! You never know what she might go tell people! You can't trust her! I can't believe you! Could you please just use your brain for once in your life?" He shouts. He doesn't even care that he just bashed Kathryn with her standing right there. He doesn't care that he broke her heart, and he surely doesn't want to fix it.

Her Mom arrived 15 minutes later after everything happened. I apologized about everything maybe 12 times before she left. I couldn't believe how Luke was acting.

Once she was out of the door and our parents had stopped talking I ran to my room. I sat down in my office chair and I called Austin, as always. He was always there for me. He was already 16, so typically he would come over to my house every time I needed him. He lived right down the road in my subdivision.

He picked up the phone after the first ring. "What's wrong?" It's like he read my mind. He had a habit of doing that. I laid my phone on my desk and put it on speaker. "Luke just made Kathryn leave the house because she's a fan of his band. Michael made a rude sarcastic remark about them. They both just really hurt me. I'm trying to make more friends and Luke never approves." I sighed. I then heard footsteps in the hall. Great.

"Well I'm sorry to hear that. No one should treat you or your friends like that. They should understand what's important to you." Austin said before I heard a knock on my door. I turned around and noticed Michael.

He sympathetically smiled at me. "Can you talk for a second?" Michael asked. I looked at my phone then back at Michael. Austin didn't say anything so I assumed he'd stay out of it for me. I got up and went over to the door. I leaned against the frame. Michael steadied himself by having his arm against the wall by my head. "What do you need?" I tried to be polite.

"I just want to say I'm sorry. I heard what you said a minute ago about being hurt over what I said. I didn't mean for that to be taken in a negative manner. Luke was just giving off bad vibes and they caught me." He says trying to be serious.

I look at him for a minute before hearing Austin say something. "Maybe next time you'll stand up for her instead of playing along like a dick!" I sigh then look at Michael. He doesn't look too happy. He looks over towards my desk then at me then he quickly starts walking off. I sigh before chasing him. He already is out of the door and down the drive way. I don't have shoes or socks on so I just run after him.

"Michael!" I yell down the driveway. He stops and looks at me. I continue to run until I get to where he is. He continues to watch me.

"I'm sorry." I say as I try to catch my breath.

He stills continues to look at me. "Why?"

I look at him with confusion. "Excuse me?" I say. "Why him? Why is he so great?" Michael sighs.

I sigh back. "He's my best friend, and he's always helped me out. Please don't tell me you think we are dating or anything."

He sighs. "I really did think you were dating. I'm happy to hear that you're not though. He doesn't seem to like Luke, Calum, Ashton, or me. How can he not like us? We are all like your brothers, except Luke. He is your brother." Michael says looking a little more relieved.

"Yes, he is my brother. That doesn't mean everyone has to like him. He is somewhat moody sometimes. Example A: when he threw Kathryn out about 20 minutes ago." I sigh. I think Michael notices when my stress levels go up.

Right then, he hugs me. He's constantly hugging me. I let out a small laugh. "Can we go back in the house please? It's hot out here!" He whines.

"Yes Mikey, we can go into the air conditioning." I smile at him and he starts laughing.
