All Grown Up

6

 Baby Daddy was quite well known for it's frequent time skips... Well... now so is All Grown Up.  It's for plot reasons I promise!!!!!! I wanna try and keep this story around for a while. 

Btw, I was still thinking about whether or not to publish this because I felt like some of you might kill me, because "Baby Daddy had too much drama in it" but, tbh, I like to write dramatic stuff. Sorry. 

Another side note, literally everything that happens in this story is for "plot reasons". I've had the plot for this story for a very long time but, it seems like everyday I'm getting new ideas from the smallest things.

-Harmony's POV- 

2 Weeks Later

I push past multiple students who, just like myself, were extremely anxious to find out whether or not we had made the team. My heart begins to race as one of the Varsity team's top players walks away from the bulletin board with tears in her eyes. If one of the top players on the varsity team didn't make the team, what were the chances I did? Scientists say there is a 0% chance Harmony Hood will make the team... At least that's what the scientists inside my head had said. 

Finally, after a few minutes of pushing and shoving, I finally make it to the bulletin. That light green piece of paper held the future to my Sophomore year of High School. 

I skim through the list of boys to find that Lucas and Chris had made the boys Varsity team. I'm sure they'd be happy to hear about that. After that, I look through the girls Junior Varsity team and don't find my name, nor do I find Natalia's name. I begin to worry that we hadn't made the team.

I move to the girls Varsity list and skim through it.

Oh. My. Gosh.

I made the team. We both made the team. Lucas and I are on the Varsity teams. Our dad's going to be so proud of us.

With a smile on my face, I make my way to the front of the school. Today uncle Ash was picking us up from school. Which isn't normal. Usually we just take the bus home but, apparently there was something going on at home so, we needed to be there as soon as possible.

From a distance, I could see Hayley and Chris get into the car, Layla, Chloe, and Daniel following behind them. Although Ashton had a big car, we wouldn't all be able to fit so it's going to be an uncomfortable ride home.

"Breaking news," The reporter on E! News announces, "Today in the early hours of the morning, a shooting took place right in front of singer, Luke Hemmings' house. Seven people in the area were injured and one has died. The unfortunate victim of the shooting has been identified as 34 year old, Spencer Hemmings. More fortunate victims, pregnant 35 year Shaylee Hood, was shot in the arm and 35 year old Kimberley Clifford was only grazed by a bullet. Both victims are fine and expected to be released from the hospital tonight. Witnesses say-"

Before the saddened news reporter could finish, the TV is shut off. I turn around, tears in my eyes, to find my uncle Ashton behind me. "Harmony, you weren't supposed to hear that." He mutters.

"Do they know about it?" I ask, referring to my cousins, Cole, Nicole, and Kristy.

He silently shakes his head, "No, Luke wanted to tell them."

"Is my mum alright?" I ask, trying to hold back the tears.

"Yes, she's fine. Her and your dad are at the hospital. They'll be home soon."

Ashton opens his mouth to say something but, Hayley comes inside, fear all over her face. "Where the hell did all the paps come from?!" She asks.

Ashton and I exchange confused looks and take a peek out the windows. It seemed as though hundreds of paparazzi were standing outside. But, of course, that was a bit of an exaggeration. They hadn't done anything yet. They kind of looked like a bunch of tourist staring at a statue, waiting for the perfect moment to take a picture. 

I move a curtain and take a better look. That was a mistake. One of the paps notice and the cameras begin to flash. I quickly move from the window and hide behind Ashton. "Hayley," Ashton starts, "go tell everyone to come inside, please." She nods her head and does as she's asks. 

"Har, go make sandwiches or something. I'm gonna go try to make them leave. Don't go outside. It might take awhile." Ashton explains. I don't say anything and instead watch through the window as he begins to yell at the paps. I could see the tears in his eyes and the anger building up in his face. I could tell this wasn't going to end well. 

Ignoring what Ashton had said, I run outside. Suddenly, all cameras are directed towards me. "Go back inside, Harmony." Ashton says, gesturing to the door. 

I shake my head no, "Listen, can you please leave?! Our family is going through a time of grief and you assholes are making it worse!"

The paps get quiet but, their cameras are still focused on me. "Keep going!" Someone shouts. 

"Are you fucking serious?!" I yell, "Just leave already, the public doesn't have to know every detail of our lives!" I turn around and begin to walk inside, my uncle following. 

He closes the door behind him and takes me arm before I could go any further, "Harmony Nicole Hood, what were you thinking?" He asks me. 

"I was thinking, "oh my gosh these dumb asses are annoying as hell". So, I took it upon myself to come outside and yell at them. We don't need these stalkers bothering us." I explain. 

"Well," he sighs, "that was stupid."

"Well, if it was so stupid, why did more than half of them leave?" I ask, a smirk on my face. Ashton's angered expression drops as he turns to the window and finds that I was right. He laughs and throws an arm around my shoulders. 

"Ah, Harmony," He smiles, "I really love ya kiddo."
