Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"Standing Up For the Ones You Love." - Chapter 51

Seth's p.o.v.

Those fuck heads have been fucking with my baby sister for- Fuck, I can't remember how long! Okay, okay, no I don't care that much about my sister- Well, maybe I do. I don't know. Look, when Michael left we were left with Devon and he practically made us hate Evan, but now I'm starting to see all the shit she's going through and has gone through. I just feel bad. Am I supposed to? I know just kinda feel like I have to spend every minute with her. I walked upstairs and heard Michael talking to Jordan. So far this is what I heard...

"Jordan, she is your girlfriend." Michael said.

"Was my girlfriend, Michael!" Jordan snapped. "Was!"

"Jordan you have to talk to her!" Michael said.

"No! I hate her! She hates me!" Jordan growled.

"If you don't, I will!" Michael yelled. I stepped closer to the door, maybe a little too close because I fell into the room. "Seth!" Both Michael and Jordan yelled.

I got up. "I'll do it!"

"What?" Both Michael and Jordan asked.

"I'll go to Rydel's house with Evan and talk to them. I'll tell them to back off." I said.

"I don't know..." Michael said.

Jordan nodded. "I think they should. Let them get beaten."

"Jordan!" Michael warned. "I guess, fine. Watch out for Evan."

"Of course!" I said. I left Michael's room and went to Evan's. I didn't bother knocking, I just opened the door. She was staring at a wall in the corner of her room with headphones on. She was singing. Holy shit- Her voice. I had never heard anything like that. I've heard her sing only a few times, but it seemed like she was always holding herself back, but this was real. All my brothers have been giving her lessons when it comes to our instruments. Airtight Drake is our lead singer, he only teaches her lead. She didn't learn to sing from any of us.

She pulled her knees to her chest and sang along, "~Why is it so hard to find someone who can keep it together when you've come undone? Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you~" It was like she could hit every note? Evan stopped singing and stood up. I was still in shock. I couldn't seem to pull my eyes from her. She turned and faced me. When she saw me, she just froze in place. "Did you hear anything?" She asked, anxiously.

"I heard your beautiful voice." I told her with a smile. "Jesus Christ, Evan! Those vocals are so rare!" I said. She covered her face. "Like it's inhuman!" I continued, "You can hit like any note!"

"Shut up! You didn't hear anything." She said and walked to her desk placing her headphones down. "And ever hear of knocking!"

"Sorry, but Evan... Why didn't you tell us! You could be in our band!" I exclaimed.

"No! Nope! No way! Fuck no!" Evan said and sat on her bed, soon laying down, staring at the ceiling.

"I'll talk to you later about that, but for now we have to go somewhere. That's why I came in here." I told her.

"Wherrrrreeeee?" She whined.
