A Hemmings Stepsister?

3.0

I walked up to my room and grabbed my shampoo and conditioner. I grabbed a towel out of the hall closet and walked into my bathroom. I could see Jack looking at out his door with sympathy. I slammed my door back and turned on the water. I stripped my clothes off and got into the shower.

My iHome was playing random music.

"What doesn't kill you, makes you wish you were dead

Got a hole in my soul, growing deeper and deeper

And I can't take

One more moment of this silence,

the loneliness is haunting me

And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up"

I sang along in the shower. I could hear some people outside of the door singing along. I sighed and continued washing my hair.

I finished washing my hair and body and got out of the shower. I dried my body off and I put my clothes on which consisted of a black Nirvana band tee, black skinnies, combat boots, and a random red and black flannel around my waist. I threw on Alfies, I stole it from him (he knows though), beanie.

I curled my eyelashes and put on two coats of mascara before walking out of my bathroom. I turned the light off and bumped straight into Michael.

"I'm sorry Melanie. I should have stopped them." He looked so sincere. I looked away then back at his face.

"It's okay Michael." I said hugging him.

He looked so happy. I smiled at him. He wrapped his arms around my tiny body and highs tighter.

"Don't let me drown.."

I walked downstairs, Mikey following.

"Nope. I planned on going downtown. You coming?" I asked him.

"Sure. Let me tell the boys." He said walking away.

"Hey. I'm going downtown with Melanie. Be back later." I could see the guys looking shocked.

"Ash! Do you want to go?" I screamed out.

I saw him look uneasy.

"Why not? Give me a minute to fix my hair and get my flannel on." I heard him reply.

I walked past them and into the kitchen and grabbed a water from the fridge. Jack was looking straight at me.

"I swear. You're just like Luke." Ben referred to my outfit and stubbornness.

Luke was wearing the same shirt and skinnies. He just didn't have a beanie or a flannel or combat boots. He had VANS on.

I rolled my eyes before telling Mikey and Ashton to come on.

I could still see Jack and Luke staring. I wasn't asking if they wanted come. Michael didn't lay a hand on Tyde and neither did Ashton, so I didn't have a reason to be mad at them.

Calum held Tyde while my brothers beat him.

I sighed before walking out the door and walking to Ashton's car that was at the house.

"Is okay if Caspar, Will, and Joe join us?" I asked. They muttered an okay. I texted them in a group.

Mel: You guys want to meet up with me, Michael, and Ashton later in downtown?

Will: I can. I'm not positive about Joe and Caspar.

Joe: Casp and I are in. What time?

Mel: We're going now cause I need to finish Christmas shopping but we can meet up about two-thirty, since it's almost two now.

Will: Works for me. See you guys later.

Joe: Same.

"They'll be meeting us around two-thirty." I told them. They nodded and smiled.

"Im finishing Christmas shopping while we are there. While I'm doing that, you can hang out with the guys. You're not finding anything out early." I laughed. They laughed along with me before pulling into a parking spot.

It was almost two-twenty five so they should be here any minute. I sighed, opening my door and getting out. I saw Caspar waving his arms at us. I shook my head and walked over to where they was standing, Michael and Ashton following.

"Where to?" Will asked.
----

"This was fun." I smiled.

"We'll do it again when your in London or were back here." Joe smiled. I nodded before getting into Ashton's car.

"Did you get everything that you wanted?" Ashton smiled, looking in the rear view mirror. I nodded, smiling.

"You're not finding out your gifts." I laughed.

They pouted. I laughed at them, snapping a photo to post to Twitter.

@Michael5SOS @Ashton5SOS pouting cause I won't show them their Christmas gifts www.twitter.pic.com/jpehduz

Luke retweeted it and so did Calum.

"Alright, let's go home." Ashton sighed.
