Michael Cliffords Rebel Sister

7: late sweet sixteen

April

I woke up to 4 obnoxious voices singing horribly.

"Happy late birthday" mikey cheered pulling me off my bunk.
"What's going on" I say squinting from the light.

"What missed your birthday yesterday so we are throwing you a party today" my brother smiles.

"Aww you don't have too" I pout.
He just pulls me into a hug and soon it becomes a group hug. Unfortunately due to my very small height I was being suffocated.

"I need oxygen" I breathe dramatically .
The guys slowly pull away and smile at me.

There is one more thing you should know. Luke used to be my best friend but I didn't realise it was him until I saw his name on some poster.

He's a lot taller now and I don't know. some might say HOT. But he's out of my limit. (😂😂😂 sorry). Michael came up to me with a hand full of presents.

After that we ate breakfast. well I watched them eat. I'm too fat to eat pancakes and they'll just make me fatter. Instead I just nibbled on an apple.

It's been a while and the guys went to sound check and should be back soon. I'm sitting alone with my own thoughts which is not a good thing.

I slip off my bunk and grab my guitar. Wow it's been a while.

I pull out my sketch pad and start writing a song.

After I started playing and eventually sang my own lyrics.

"True friends lie underneath the witty words I don't belive
I can't belive a damn thing they say anymore.
Lie. Lie. Liar.Liar
You will pay for your sins.
Lie.Lie.Liar.Liar
You will pay for your sins.

So tell me how does it feel?
How does it feel to be like you?
I think your mouth should be quiet cause it never tells the truth now.

So tell me. So tell me why. Why does it have to be this way why can't things ever change.

I'm falling over and over again from all the words that you have said
It's written on my heart for everyone to see.

From the place that I was to the place that I am to the place I wanna be.
For the mountains I've been climbing over and under and over.

So tell me how does it feel how does it feel to be like you.
I think your mouth should be quiet cause It never tells the truth.

So tell me so tell me why? Why does it have to be this way. Why can't things ever change.

So come down now. Come down from your tower now. Come down now. From your tower oh. Come down  Come down from your tower. Come down. Come down from your tower.

After I finish I hear a bunch of clapping. Oh please god no. They heard me didn't they.

A flush of red washes over my face as I see all four of the guys smiling.

"April your amazing what song is that" mikey says.

"I wrote it" I whisper/mutter.

"You actually wrote that. Omg you are so talented" luke says giving me a bear hug.

"Do you still remember our secret club" I whisper to luke hoping he will say yes.

"How could I forget april the ape" he smirks down at me.

See when we were little he was lucas the lobster and I was April the ape because we both hated those names and we'd get teased with them.

I smile and pull away.
After that we decided to have a movie night and watch some scary films.

" Oh oh let's watch sinister then insidious and paranormal activity." I smile.

By the end of the film calum was fine however luke michael and ash were sitting in a corner practically crying.

"Is it over" luke asked from under the blanket.
"Yes lucas you can come out now" I say as me and cal giggle at the 4 idiots.

We all walk to our bunks and get in. Before I leave the back room luke looks at me then pouts.

" Can I sleep in your bunk with you. I'm scared" he says.

" isn't the guy supposed to be tough" I giggle.

"Hey its not funny how would you like to be possessed" he says

"Fine. Fine hop in" I giggle.

He gets in and pulls me into his side.
I may have a slight crush on my best friend but he would never luke me.
I slowly fall asleep to the sound of his heart beating.
