American Beauty

Chapter 17: Music

I was humming along to my favorite song which just happens to be American Beauty/American Psycho by Fall Out Boy. I was cleaning my room up because it was such a mess and I was a very clean person. I could hear Logan in the other room singing the same song at the top of his lungs. It was right off beat from my humming so I banged on the wall to tell him to shut up.

"Let's just put the music through a speaker," I said while taking out my headphones.

"Yes ma'am," he said with a mock salute and hooked his phone up to the bluetooth speaker. The one thing I liked about my brother was that we had the same taste in music. 

Fall Out Boy began to blare from the speakers and we opened up all the windows to allow the music out to the street. Logan and I began to sing. 

I heard a knock at the door and opened it to find Lottie who just came in and began to sing and clean alongside us. 

Draco was sitting awkwardly on the sofa not knowing what to make of this. Lottie and I began to dance as we cleaned and put things away. The song then changed to Rolling In The Deep by Adele and Lottie sang all the words with myself and Logan on the backup vocals. 

After a while I went over to the couch and plopped myself down next to Draco. "Wanna dance?" I asked. He looked at me. 

"How can I dance if I don't know the songs?" he responded. 

"It's easy," I said. "This is a no judgement zone so just dance however. We'll probably laugh but we mean well." He raised his eyebrow at me and I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand. I dragged him off the couch and into the middle of the living room. 

We began to dance and laugh. It was one of the best clean out days ever.
