Self titled

2012

As the time passed Michael left the band after he had a falling out with some members.  We stayed close with Tyler but not  the other boys, today was girl's day and we had me, Macy and ash who was dating a different guy now that Adam and her broke up. This guy was about Michaels height, he had tattoos on his left arm and a full right sleeve that consisted of horror themed anime. I had learned my father wanted to meet me now that I was older. I planned a meeting today after hanging with the girls. "Emma, you should buy this for Michael" Ashley said holding up a sexy bra

"Ash." I laughed "he can't wear it"

"Then you buy it for you and wear it for him" she  said

"You girls are perverts" I said taking it

"Send pictured of you in it!" Macy yelled

"If Michael doesn't take it off you" Ashley said with a laugh. Once our shopping trip ended I went to the meeting spot, it was outside the College of Theater and art.

"Emma?" the man said

"Yes" I said before he hugged me

"When your mother told me you ran off I was so happy" he said "that bitch pushed me out of your life and your sister... she is all grown up too"

"What?" I said pushing him away

"Your little sister... remember, you were so excited to hear she was coming into the family" he said. I began to remember, I was three when she was born and not long after my dad walked out on us

"Why did you leave" I asked

"she forced me out she said that I was going to ruin her chances of having a beauty queen daughter" he said "and I got custody of your sister" I hugged him as I cried. My father was now in my life, we sat and talked for hours before I went home and laid with Michael

"Hey baby" he said "where were you?"

"I met my father" I said smiling "I have a sister ... Michael my dad wants us to come to Thanksgiving"

"Alright, but you know I'm awkward" Michael said kissing me with a slight twitch "I love you"

"Only you would go from Awkward to I love you" I said laughing before Michael pilled me to his lap

"Want to have some fun?"

"Oh?" I said looking at him

"Meet me in the bedroom for strip poker" Michael said

"I'll get the cards and chips" I laughed

"Don't forget snacks too" Michael said. We played Strip poker till Michael was in his boxers then we played a different game that I enjoyed almost too much. Just in one day I learned I had siblings and a father who loved me and in a matter of Five months I would meet my sister and step-mother. I laid my head on Michael's chest as I drifted off. The next day I woke up and followed my normal routine of going to the gym and helping out in the animal shelter, I will admit I flirted with the guys to get homes for the animals but it was harmless.

"Hey" Emery said "glad you made it... Spike has been a whining mess all morning"

"Spike!" I yelled before a large Great Dane German Shepard mix ran to me and wagged his tale "Come on its bath time then a walk!"

"The others have had their walks, Emma you know if he doesn't get adopted soon" Emery began

"I know..." I said as I went to the tub and gave Spike a bath "Spike... you can't keep fighting this, you need a home or you'll be put down" I felt myself cry. I was attached to Spike since we got him in the shelter, he was just a pup then and a scared one at that. Spike would try and bite everyone who got close to him till one day I got him alone and sat there looking at him throwing bits of food at him till he was in front of me eating out of my hand, he liked me being around and would let me carry him like a baby once he was comfortable with me. I knew what needed to be done... I knew what was the best option for him.

"You ok?" Emery asked as I sat spaced out

"I'm adopting him... spike is mine and he's always been mine" I said. As  we walked down the street a lot of people watched us. Some were worried with Spike being off a leash others were just checking me out, Spike sat down at the corner of the street and waited for me to tell him it was ok. He was a really behaved dog but whenever someone adopted him he would always find a way back to the shelter, then he just began acting up in front of adopters till nobody wanted him. Once I got home I looked around seeing Michael was still out I hurried inside and to the spare bedroom "stay here, I'm going to make sure were alone" I said closing the door and scanned every room

"Hey baby what's up?" Michael asked from the bed

"I thought you were out, the cars gone"

"Yeah, Tyler borrowed it to creep on Macy's ex." Michael said "did you bring a friend home?"

"Um... yeah you could say that" I said biting my lip

"Who did you bring home?" Michael asked

"Nobody" I said looking at the door before Michael got up and made his way to the guest room "Michael don't do it"

"I want to see who the hell you brought into our house" he said

"Please don't open the door" I begged but Michael opened the door showing Spike in the bed looking at us

"Emma" Michael said

"I told you not to" I said

"Emma what is that?"

"Our new dog" I said smiling

"Emma" Michael sighed

"Please, they're going to put him down if he goes back" I said pouting
