Adopted By Muke

Chapter Nine

Katelyn's point of view

"They're throwing a Halloween bash?" I asked Ashton and he nodded. "They should go as dumb and dumber."

"I was thinking Tom and Jerry." Calum piped up and I laughed. "I'm gonna be Jack Sparrow and Ashton's gonna be Jack Skellington. The couple are going as batman and the joker." He told me and I nodded.

"And I'm gonna be asleep because you're all adults and there will be alcohol and dry sex and face sucking and maybe drugs I don't know." I said and Calum laughed.

"You're right about the alcohol, face sucking, and dry sex. We don't do drugs, closest we get is cigarettes and prescribed medication." Calum said and I nodded.

"Nope, you're going. And so is your friend because there will be kids your age there awsell." He told me and I rolled my eyes. "You'll have fun."

"I'm gonna ask Jacob what he's going to be for Halloween. He loves Halloween." I said and Ashton chuckled.

"He should be Michael for Halloween. He already has the blue hair and pierced ears." Ashton told me and I nodded. "I saw him when I went to pick you up. He's cute." Ashton said as he elbowed me.

"Shut up Ash." I said and blushed. "Anyways, he wants to be a demon, or like dark angel." I told him and he nodded.

"You should be an angel then," Calum said and I nodded. "Because, you know, angels and dark angels can't get together." He told me.

"That's perfect. I'll ask Luke and-oh yeah." I said and then sighed. "Nevermind." I told him and he nodded.

"They're sorry you know." Ashton told me and I nodded. "They keep asking to come over and apologize but like I keep saying no because I don't know if you want to see them or not." He said and I nodded.

"Maybe..." I said and he chuckled. "I'll call them later on before I call Jacob or I'll walk over there. Running and avoiding my problems won't do no good."

"Exactly." Calum said and smiled. "I'll tell them to stop by then. They want to talk to you, well Luke does."

"Okay." I said and nodded. "You're a band right? Why don't you do the band stuff like concerts and interviews and radio station takeovers?" I asked them.

"Our next concert is Monday, and we also have an interview that day aswell. We were given a few days off since Michael and Luke went to adopt you." Ashton explained and I nodded.

"They told me they had a meeting and stuff to go to a few days ago..." I trailed off and he smiled sadly. "They lied?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry love. They ended up going out to a club and getting drunk." He said and ran a hand through my hair.

"I have a right to be mad then." I said and Calum looked at me. "They lied to me. They told me they had important things to do but instead they just go out to a club? Then they yell at me for something as trivial as being up an hour or two past my curfew? That's ridiculous, especially since I was up because of a nightmare."

"Calm down love, it's okay." Calum told me. "They're not very bright sometimes and they're sorry for doing it, it's okay."

"It's not okay! They lied to me." I said and sighed. "I hate liars." I said and Ashton smiled sadly at me.

"I know love, they'll fix it okay?" He told me and I nodded. "They'll be here soon love." He said and I sighed.

"Okay." I said and then smiled. "What time is it?" I asked him and he checked his watch.

"Almost nine, why?" He asked me and I pulled my phone out.

"I usually call Jacob at nine because that's when he has a break. Sometimes I call at six but it's usually nine." I told him and he nodded.
