10 Seconds of Autumn

Madi Pt. 1

Okay. So I'm back. My brother, Mikey, is coming back home. He's been on tour with Luke, Ash, and Cal. Ash is our cousin. His mum is my mum's step sister or something. Anyways, he's my cousin, Kapish?

It's Friday night and Mum, Dad, Mikey, and Ash are supposed to show up soon. I've been living on my own for the past two years while 5SOS went on tour. They offered to find room on the bus for me, but I denied. They offered to find room! Did you really expect me to go on a bus for two years straight with my stupid brother, my dumbA$$ cousin, their friend the puppy and my crush; the frigging Sasquatch. Yeah. I have a crush on Mr. 6' 2", blondie quiff with lip piercing.

"Madilynne! We're back!" my brother called out to me.

"Yeah!" Calum the puppy added.

"Honey we're home!"

"Shut it, quiffie, before I shove your head up my brothers ___ where it _______ belongs you god____ mother ______," Ash gave Mike back his phone after censoring me because we are apparently trying to be audience friendly, whatever that means.

"Lemme go change. Then what are we doing?" Luke asked.

"Movie day?" Cal asks. We all chorus in agreement

"Race to showers between blondies." Mike announces. This is a usual thing when the boys are home. Luke and I race to the only shower in the house. I hear a light 'go' in the background. I sprint up through my room leaving Luke in the dust. It's true. The short girl ran faster than the tall boy. I run to the bathroom and slam the door behind me. I lock the door, and slam the door opposite of me. I lock that one and hear Luke slam into the door. He groans, leaving his body pressed right against the door. I kick right around where his nuts should be. He groans again, falling to the ground.

"She's a good girl, She's daddy's favorite. He saved for Harvard. He knows she'll make it. She's good at school, she's never truant, She can speak French, I think she's fluent. 'Cause every night she studies hard in her room, at least that's what her parents assume, But she sneaks out the window to meet with her boyfriend, here's what she told me the night that I caught 'em. She said to me; 'forget what you thought 'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught. So just turn around, and forget what you thought, 'Cause good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught." I finish off the chorus and turn off the shower. I wrap a towel around myself, put my glasses back on, and open the shower curtain. I curse to myself when I realize I left clothes in my room, where Luke is. I clasp my bra, and re-wrap my towel. I again curse to myself when I remember I even forgot my underwear. I'm screwed. Leaving my bedroom, I see Luke laying on my bed. He's on his phone, that is now black? It's always been green.

"Lucas Robert Hemmings! Give me my god____ mother _______ phone you mother _______ ___hole who has no _______ reason to be on my _______ phone!" I reach for the phone, but Luke puts it above his head. He really thinks this will stop me from getting the phone.

"Who's Robert? It has the heart emoji by the name, if you didn't know." I look towards my door, grab my clothes, and run to Michael's room. I run into his room, lock the door, change, and run to the living room. I see Ashli by Cal, and Lilly sitting quietly by the laptop. I run over to her and sit on Mike's lap, who she is talking to.

"Mikey. Lucas took my phone and was going through it."

"So? What's the big deal? I mean, it's not like it's your bag" I look at him with tears in my eyes. I look at Lilly who sees the tears running down my face. She runs, grabs girl Ash and Callie. They take off towards my room, and I run to the corner bean bag and curl up on it. Why am I being such a crybaby today? I grab my IPod and turn on the Crybaby album by Melanie Martinez. Dollhouse comes on and I change it to Crybaby. I plug in my earbuds and turn up the volume to full blast. I grab the stuffed animal closest to me, and throw it after seeing it was the giraffe that Luke gave me. I grab my stuffed lion similar to Mike's, but mine is brown. I sob into my arms, and sniffle. The bean bag soon leaves me, and I'm being held. The way we plop onto the chair tells me that it's Luke holding me.

"Lucas. Release my cousin before I stab you."

"Luke. Release my little sister before I punch you."

"Lukey, Release our best friend before I tell Mommy dearest you aren't exactly a virg---," an arm leaves me, and I assume it's him doing some hand gesture. I hop off his lap, slip on my running shoes, and push my hair into a messy pony tail. I look at my outfit; skin tight shorts, black running shoes, neon green sports bra, and electric eyes hidden by Coca-Cola thick glasses. I grab my iPod and shove it in my arm band.

I sprint through the front door, ignoring the yells of protest. I keep running until the end of the album. I check the time and see it's 21:21. Yeah, I've been running for three hours. I look around and see I'm near the Cal's' house. I go to the house, and knock on the door. Their mom walks to the door, and sees me. She holds the door open for me, and I walk in. Fresh, hot tears spring to my eyes, and I go into her arms. She holds me as we go to the kitchen, with her arms wrapped around my back and mine wrapped around her waist. She grabs milk and two mugs. She makes us some hot cocoa and walks us back to the living room. We sit on the couch, and she hands me the chocolate beverage. I can't believe she treats me as more of a daughter than my own parents.

"So, honey, why are you half an hour away from home, and why'd you take the long way?"

"The boy I like-"

"Luke"

"Took my phone, and saw his name,"

"Is going to die"

"And made fun of me." I sniffle and her eyes harden. She grinds her teeth together and mutters a

"Today." She grabs her cell phone and holds me on her lap. I'm sitting knees to my chin with my arms wrapped around my legs. She talks to someone, and she sounds very angry, and her face is a boiling red. The door slams open and Callie and Cal storm through the front door.

"I'm going to pummel that _______  ___hole. And Ash's put the mother ________ phone away!" Ashton hands his over to Ashli and Ashli hands them to me. I toss them into the waste basket, and they look at me like I just murdered a lost puppy. I growl and they back away.

My brother walks through the door pulling a Sasquatch by the ear.

"Make it better." Mike growls.

"So, guys, I'm going to a boarding school," I mutter to them. Luke looks at me with something filling his eyes. It's a new emotion for him. I grab my bag that I keep in case of emergency in all of my 'safe houses'. I grab the spare keys, and head out to Lucas' car. I turn around, give my real 'mother' a hug, and turn back to the car. I hop in the geo tracker, speed home, grab two more emergency bags and my emergency cards. All paid for by me. I have fifty seven thousand on the debit alone, and multiple stacks of cash in the three bags. I throw them in my bag along with my cell phone.

"Boarding school, here I come." I mutter to myself an hour later, after purchasing my plane ticket, getting through security, and boarding first class with half a minute to spare.

Heyyyy! I finally updated! While listening to different episodes of GMW, so shhhhh! How are you?

QOTC: Who's side, Luke's or Madi's???

AOTC: I'm the author, but I ship it and say Madi, because I based her off of myself. Plus she's bae. Shhhh.

I'm doing a quick poem right here about a friend I almost had, but let her leave. Don't do that, it hurts more than you would think.

The Girl with the Long Blonde Hair

Her eyes a deep hazel
Her skin
It was a light porcelain
The girl with the long blonde hair.
