My brothers best friend

We are family

Ari POV

I woke up in the all so known bed, my dad was downstairs with his new wife and my step brother. He's called Austin Butler and is quit famous himself. I have had a fame crush on him for so long it's unbelievable.

"Honey, wake up." dad cooed knocking on my door.

"K dad." I replied getting up.

I checked my phone and saw a message from Ashton.

To Ari;
Babe, please come back. Jemma is gone now and Calum feels really bad, none of us are the same. I know what they did was wrong and I know you haven't left because of your aunt. I wish you didn't lie to me but I know that's what you do.
Message me when you can. I love you Ari. Xx
From your sexgod boyfriend xox

I smiled at the message, they kicked Jemma out. They did! I feel bad for her sure but I feel worse now than she ever will and I'm innocent.

"Nice dress." Austin complimented as I sat down at the table.

"Thanks." I smiled looking at his appearance.

His hair was blonde-ish and floppy. He had green eyes and beautiful lips. He wore a red checkered shirt and black jeans with sunglasses in his side pocket.

"Your shirt is really nice." I complimented as I ate some of my pancake.

"Cheers." He laughed, he feels as awkward as I do.

"You two seem to get on well." His new wife Lindsay smiled. "You should go cinema or something."

"Mom, I don't think cinema is a brotherly thing to do." Austin mumbled.

"Actually, I go cinema with Michael all the time. But I guess it is our thing. Maybe something else." I said cheerfully.

"Okay, after three say something you both like." Dad walked in smiling as he spoke. "One ... Two ... Three!"

"Water parks!" Me and Austin said in sync laughing as we did so.

"Sorted, off you go you two. We will pay and you can take my car." Mrs Clifford smiled.

It's weird calling her Mrs Clifford, I'm a Clifford but she isn't my mom.

"Mom, I have a car and money. I have it covered." Austin laughed standing up and walking off eating his toast.

I was wearing a yellow sundress and pink sunglasses. I had my bright pink bikini on underneath my dress and I grabbed a hat. I put my hair in low pigtails and grabbed a bag to put my towel, phone and money in.

I took a selfie and looked bomb may I add. I'd never noticed things I noticed after this picture.

I put it on all my social media sites and put a caption underneath it reading ... 'Water park with the @austin butler! See all you fans there'

"Don't stop, doing what you're doing." I sang tapping my leg along to the music as I nodded my head.

"I hate these guys, they're all the same." Austin said randomly.

"Careful what you say buddy, the drummers my boyfriend." I laughed at his reaction.

"Shit! Really? Wow, Phil never said anything." Austin muttered under his breath turning the radio up a bit. "I've only heard like two songs though."

"They've done tons more than that, I'll show you." I grabbed the aux lead and plugged my phone in turning to my bae's playlist.

"Vanessa loves them, I might buy her tickets." He tapped the wheel as 'English love affair' came on.

"Girlfriend? Of course it is, Vanessa hugdenson." I chuckled.

"Yeah, you a fan of us?"

"I love high school musical!" I screamed loudly. "I love Carrie diaries too. Sebastian Kidd is awesome." I smiled.

"He was a hard character to play, not gonna lie." He laughed taking a sharp turn.

"You're not going to let me pay for any of it are you?" I asked as we made our way to the first slide.

"No, it's a step-brother treat!" He cheered reaching for my hand. "Let's run."

We both ran and laughed as we made our way to the first slide. I was thankful no one recognised us, what would they think?

"I hate heights just to warn you." Austin looked down at my small frame.

"Why do you like here then?" I asked shocked.

"Am I not allowed to like here? I hate heights but I'm fine after I'm used to it."

We both joined the queue and immediately people noticed us, mostly teenage girls. I smiled at some of them not knowing what to say.

"Ohmygod! It's Ari Clifford!" They'd scream.

"Austin! Austin!" Others would repeat screaming.

Then pictures were snapped and people were enjoying the view of us. I hope these don't get posted to Ashton or any of the boys. It'll hurt them one way or another.

Ashton POV

She didn't answer. I waited and waited but nothing. I guess she could be asleep or something. She'll get back to me I know she will.

"Yeah, yeah." I heard the annoying girly voice.

"Jemma!? What the fuck are you doing here?" I stormed in the living room.

"I heard back from Ari, I came to show you." She whispered scared.

I took her phone from her hands and read the message.

To Jemma;
You're a two faced evil cow. I left everything I loved for you. I'm coming back in a few days, I hope you're still gone when I get back. My phone won't let me message Ashton or Mike so tell them Im okay and I love them. RIH! (A/N rot in hell) see you bitch xox
From Ari

Ari was pissed off, really pissed off. I smiled at how she messaged her and I was proud of her. She stood up for herself and she is coming back.

"You better go then." I smiled at her shoving her phone back to her.

"Actually, Calum asked me to stay. I know I messed up but I love him. We're all we have and you know the feeling right?" Jemma mumbled.

"I know the feeling, what you and Calum have isn't love. You're a control freak and he knows it! We nearly split because of you! You!"

"I am so sorry. I can't say it enough." She agreed.

"No, you're right. You can't."
