Katelyn_________

The sun shines through the curtains as the leather couch squeaks with movement. My eyes flutter open as I take in my surroundings. Michael's curled up with Luke (basically spooning), Ashton is passed out on the floor and Calum and I are cuddling up with my back agains his side and his arm around my shoulder. It's a freaky feeling, looking around seeing the 'bad boys' of our school and town fast asleep. By bad boys I mean the looks, I don't think they're the player type that constantly break hearts. Maybe once or twice a fortnight but not constantly.

Soft snores escape a few mouths. The gauze that cover my arm flicks my memories to yesterday at school before I push them a side. I pull a blanket over my freezing body before cuddling up to Calum even more and falling back asleep against the heavily tattooed boy.

Michael_______

My mind wakes up and I feel a weight against me. Expecting it to be Katelyn I just ignore it. But I don't ignore the cool metal that rubs down my arm when they move their head. My eyes fly open as I realise a Luke is pressed up against me. I immediately shake him off and scan my eyes across the room. Ash is on the floor and Cal and Katelyn are cuddling. She has a blanket wrapped up around her and what looks like Calum's arm. Aww, my best mate and sister getting along. If he dates her I'll drop kick him to Canada.

I get up and head into the kitchen. Opening the fridge I notice... Nothing. Great. At least nothing you could make breakfast with. I change my thinking, grab a box of weet-bix from the cupboard and a bottle of milk. I pour myself a bowl of 6 weet-bix with milk and start eating. Looking on at my out cold mates.

Katelyn moved around a bit and Calum almost immediately adjust to her movement. Like I said before, he dates her I drop kick him. Don't get me wrong I love them both and I'm sure they would be happy but the age gap and the weirdness is just to much for me.

(AN: please note there will be NO romance between Katelyn and ANY of the boys. So you can imagine yourselves with them of you wish, your welcome.)

Knocking on the door grabs my attention and I put my spoon in my bowl before placing it down. As I open the door I'm met with the boys in blue (police).
"Anything I can help you with?"
"Is this the residence of Ashton Irwin and Calum Hood?"
"Yes it is. Do you want me to grab them, they're just past out on the couch."
"If you don't mind we'll like to come in." They invite themselves in and I read their name tags. 'Jones' and 'Fergus' walking into the lounge as I pick my bowl of cereal up again. Great. The weet-bix have gone soggy.

"EVERYBODY UP!" I nearly drop my bowl at the sound of Jones' voice. Luke, Ash, Cal and Katelyn all immediately freak out and flinch at his yelling. The all turn to him while Katelyn stares at me. Probably wishing she had my cereal.
"Ashton Irwin?" Jones asks. Ashton raises his hand.
"Calum Hood?" Fergus asks. Calum raises his hand. He still had one around Katelyn and it looked like he was pulling her closer to him.
"And you are?" Jones asks me.
"Michael Clifford." I say with my mouth full.
"You?" Fergus says raising his eyebrow at Luke.
"Luke Hemmings." He nervously replies.
"Then you must be Katelyn Clifford?" Jones says, sinking to her height while standing behind the back of the couch. Calum pulls her closer to his chest.
Katelyn nods a reply.
"Is that your brother?" Jones asks pointing to me. Once again she just nods. By the look on her face it looks like she's internally screaming. "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the girl." Fergus says I'm a 'tough voice' to Calum.

"Why. What's going on." Is Calum's only response.
"Katelyn here, as been filed as missing. Believed to be kidnapped by her own brother and ripped away from her mother without permission. This is against the law and unless luck is on your side today boys, there is a good chance you will be coming with us." Fergus says. We're all silent as Katelyn basically ignores the officer orders and clutches Cal even tighter.
"Maybe we should all just sit down, and talk this through." Suggests Ashton.

I put my now empty bowl of cereal on the bench and sit on the couch. Before I can take the seat next to Katelyn offer Jones takes it as Fergus takes the one next to Luke. I sit on the floor next to Ash as we all pass looks between each other. Katelyn whispers something into Cal's ear, he then nods his head, glances at the officer, before then switching place with Katelyn. She was now on the end of the couch.

"So." Say Luke. "We kidnapped the girl sitting right there. Michael why don't you explain, it's your mother."  I glare at Luke before asking:
"What do you want to know?"
"Why kidnap your own sister?"
"Can you explain the situation that has been explained to you?" Cal asks.
"Sure. Two nights ago. Karen Clifford was sitting at home with her daughter Katelyn, suddenly the door bursts open and Michael runs in, grabs Katelyn, and then runs out again. All while Karen is screaming at him to stop as Michael violently, leaving marks, rips Katelyn out of her home and dumps her into a car before driving off."

Everyone is silent.
"Lies." Everyone turns to Katelyn.
"Excuse me?" Says officer Jones?
"I don't see how 'sitting at home' means abiding your daughter while she cries at her big brother to get her out of there over the phone because her mother and some strange man where 'teaching little girls a lesson as to why they don't run away.'" She immediately retreats back to Calum after speaking.
"Well then maybe you should-" Fergus is cut short.
"Hello? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET HOME. No time to explain JUST HURRY!" Luke is holding my phone as he replays the call.
"When was that recorded?" Jones asks.
"The night Michael 'ripped' Katelyn from her home." Says Ashton while glaring at the officers.

"Well, that message could have been recorded as a cover up. We will give you the details of your court date as it approaches, in the mean time Katelyn will need to come with us." Officer Jones tries to grab Katelyn's arm but she just screams and grabs Calum tighter. "Katelyn you need it come with us, your mother is worried."
"She said I wasn't her child."
"Well we don't know that so for the mean time-"
"Just let her stay here. Do you really want to pick a fight with a moody teenage girl?" I say defending my sister.
"Very well then. But if any of this impacts the court hearing, you boys will be in serious trouble." Fergus takes is partner away and we're all left stunned for a moment.

"We'll that's an eventful morning." I say.
"Who's up for some Maccas?" Asks Ashton, "I'll pay."
"Yo!"
"Yup."
"I'm in."
"Shot gun!" Yells Luke as we all run out to the car. Not bothering to change. Luke jumps on the front while Ashton sides in the driver seat. Katelyn sits in the middle while I take her left side and Cal her right.
"Drive thru or eat in?" Ash asks.
"Drive thru!" Katelyn and I yell.
"Drive thru it is." Ashton says.
"Hey! We didn't vote." Complains Luke.
"3-2 democracy rules." Ash defends and we head to McDonalds. We all order
L=Mac Attack
K=large quarter pounder comb
M= Big Mac hunger buster
A= large Big Mac comb
C= quarter pounder hunger buster.
Plus Mcflurrys and hot apple pies to go with. It's basically 12 so it's lunch time. Go big or go home right?
Once we get out food we dig in straight away.  Katelyn kept trying to take a bite out of my burger, and my sundae, and my chips. In the way we did the simple deal, bite for a bite. I took a third of her burger and she smashed back half of my Big Mac. Greedy scum.

"So. Anywhere you guys wanna go." Ash says between mouth fulls.
We all look at each other before heading to the supermarket. When we've all finished we all pile out of the car and help Ash and Cal to refill they're empty cupboards.

After a successful shop ($257 worth) we drop Cal off at work (music store) before heading back to their flat as Ash and Luke could get ready for their work. (They work at a musical instrument shop. Luke sells guitars and stuff while Ash fixes drums and other instruments. They have to wear specific shirts. Cal can wear whatever). Once they leave Katelyn and I sit at their house and just chill. She pulls up Netflix on the PlayStation and we settle in for a Pokemon marathon while the guys work. (I have work at 3 and it was currently 12:45. I work at the same record shop as Cal.)

After 2 hours, Katelyn and I leave so I can go to work. She joins me so that she's not alone. We walk the 15 minutes  to the underground record shop outside the mall and arrive at 3pm on the dot. We see Cal and he waves us over. I punch in to say I'm here and start looking at what is needed to be done. Katelyn starts browsing the racks while I put away newly registered stock that Cal just did.

We laugh and kick back while  the day drags on and all customers are taken care of. Mostly just asking where you find something or how much something is. Katelyn then heads out to look at other shops and probably around the mall as well. I tell her when we close and what time Cal will be going home. (We have the same time but Cal swapped with someone because they were busy this morning) she just nods and heads out promising to be back for 5:30.
