Kiara's Choice.(Formerly CALM)

Chapter 6

* Kiara's POV *
            "Brooklyn I will kill you and dance at your funeral!" I yelled chasing her into the kitchen "Kiki, I'm sorry." She squealed back circling the dining table in the centre of the kitchen "Sorry isn't gonna fix this Brooklyn!" I yelled again holding up my shattered Beats headphones "The head grip is broken, one ear has wires sprouting out of it and almost all the Swarovski crystals are gone all because you sat on it with your fat ass!" I whined and as if on cue the remaining crystals fell from the device onto the marble floor, "These things cost like thirty thousand dollars and I only got them because Kuda asked my dad for me," I said tears threatening to spill from my eyes "I couldn't ask because I knew he wouldn't listen, he hates me so much." I said and finally the tears rolled down,
"I'm so sorry Kiki." Brooklyn said approaching me cautiously
"Don't worry I've lost the will to maim you till you're unrecognisable." I said plopping down on the couch, she joined me and I rested my head on her shoulder,
"Kiki, your dad doesn't hate you, he's just a little sad because-" but she couldn't continue because I cut her off,
"Because I look like Madre and he acts like that's my fault, because she died trying to get to my school play, because I'm not his basketball star son Kuda." I rambled, some of my words coming out mispronounced
"No Kiki your dad loves you and you know it."
"Really, he loves me, yet he hasn't spoken a proper sentence to me in seven years?" I scoffed,
"He's just trying to get his act back together."
"Brooklyn, he remarried three years ago, he used to love me, now we can't even have a full conversation." I said toying with the broken Beats
"Kiki, you're the centre of his world-" She said yet again to be cut off by me
"I was the centre of his world, now he acts like I'm not in his world." I replied looking up at the ceiling, Brooklyn didn't argue any further she just let me cry till I felt dry. I'm not very sure when I stopped crying but when it happened doorbell had gone off at least four times "I should get that." I pushed myself off the couch through the foyer, to the front door, "Don't y'all have stuff to do?" I asked looking at the four Australian boys on my doorstep with a smile on my face "Nope." Ashton said popping the 'p' and ruffling my hair "Besides, most girls your age would kill to have us around all the time." Michael said stepping past me with the others "Well I'm not most girls my age, and considering the fact that I didn't even know that y'all existed until last week, I don't think I'm expected to be fawning over y'all." I replied batting my lashes at him and locking the door after they walked in.
             "Kiki?" I looked up at Tara who was looking down at me with a tub of teal hair dye, "Alright, let's get this over with." I stated standing up from my sitting position on the bean bag next to my bed "Get what over with?" Calum asked looking between Tara and I for an answer "Basically I lost a bet yesterday and the deal was that I had to dye my hair if I lost, so in about an hour I'm gonna look like you." I said the last part pointing at Michael making him smile.
           I stepped into my bathroom a put a yellow and black striped bathrobe over my clothes, opening up the tub of dye, I set it on the sink counter top and washed my hair before applying it on the four cardinal points of my head and drying my dark mane with my red hair dryer. I stepped out again with my hair in a ponytail to see everyone staring at my laptop screen, "I'm done." I said in a sing song voice, I was met with eight surprised faces "Wow, I chose an awesome colour." Tara said looking satisfied with the results of my loss, "What are y'all doing on my laptop?" I asked looking sceptically at them "YouTube." Natasha and Simone said simultaneously and immediately turning to each other "Jinx." Simone said quickly before Natasha could get to it "Y'all know my TV can surf YouTube right?" I asked pointing at the large device mounted on the wall opposite my bed "No Kiki, we didn't know that." Natasha said with wide eyes the excessive sarcasm dripping from her tone, "We don't know how to sync it." Brooklyn said rolling her eyes at Natasha.
           After I had found the small silver TV remote I sat on the white couch on the other side of my room soon after I got to the YouTube app on my TV everyone else joined me sitting on the other white furniture surrounding me, "What are we supposed to watch?" I asked looking around at them who all gave me blank stares until Ashton spoke up "We could watch some of our videos but I don't want it to seem like we're conceited."
"You know I'm really not bothered by you seeming conceited, right?" I asked sending one of my eyebrows skywards as I typed the name of their band into the search engine.
            After a few minutes of everyone arguing on which of the videos to watch I get frustrated and pick one by myself selecting one with the title Voodoo Doll, I sent a smile at them once they stopped bickering "Thank you for closing your pie-holes." I said as I snapped my head back to the screen. A few more songs played and I had to admit to myself that their band wasn't so bad after all but I refused to say this out loud, "May we please listen to something else?" I begged after Tara made me play Don't Stop for the fifth time in a row
"Yeah, besides, we have work to do." She replied,  I sent her a look indicating that I didn't understand,
"What work?" I asked turning the TV off and picking up my dismembered headphones from the bedside table and throwing them into the trash can "We need a new cover this week, and it's your turn to pick." She replied again
"Oh right, I think we should-" I didn't finish my sentence because Kuda barged into my room "Kikster!" He exclaimed excitement filling his voice and covering everyone of his physical features "Why are you so jumpy?" I asked smiling at my brother,
"Guess what just happened." He ordered lifting me up by the shoulders, I looked down at the distance between my feet and the floor
"Kuda, if you put me down now you might just live to see your next basketball game." I threatened him still looking at the floor, he placed me back on the ground where my feet belonged but still held me by the shoulders
"What's are you so excited about?" I asked trying to understand why he looked like he was about to explode,
"Dad just called." He replied
"And how exactly is that a good thing?" I was missing something here
"I told him about the semi finals and just guess what he said he was gonna get me." I gave him a look that said I was not going to guess anything
"A Buggati Veyron!" He yelled, my jaw most likely hit the floor, I had been trying to ask for that car for months and Kuda was getting it because he could put a stupid orange ball through a net! I smiled at him and batted my lashes "Brother dearest," I hugged him "you know how you've been wanting my G-wagon for a while now," I continued "well now you can have it and I can take that lil Buggati off your hands." I finished, referring to the car like it was a toy, much to my disappointment, Kuda wasn't buying it, his head fell back as booming laughter escaped his throat filling my room with the thunderous sound
"Kikster, you know you can just tell him that you want one too, right?" He asked still laughing at my crackpot attempt at getting his car
"Do you really believe he's gonna listen, Kuda I hope you realise that I'm not you!" I yelled throwing my hands in the air
"Come on Kikster, you're being so melodramatic, of course he'll listen to you." His laughter had been reduced to a wide smile but I could tell he was getting uncomfortable,
"Oh please, what was the last fucking conversation we had that he actually paid full attention to, what was the last thing he bought me, fuck he probably only remembers my birthday because we're twins and he hasn't gotten me a present in seven bloody years and if I try to talk to him he either snaps at me that he's busy or just freakin' ignores me, yet he somehow always has time for you, if he's in a business meeting for his company and you call he's gonna put the whole fucking meeting on hold to talk to you but I can't even call him with the hope of him picking up the damn phone, I always go straight to his fucking voicemail!" I practically screamed my whole rant while Kuda cringed every time I swore but he still hugged me at the end of it all "Kiki that's not totally true, he bought you those Beats with the crystals three months ago." He tried pacifying me but that just made me flare up even worse than before,
"Don't go there Kudansez!" I yelled again using his full name and broke the embrace "I only got them because you had to ask for me and he still doesn't know they're mine because you made up a fake girlfriend to get them for me and anyway those are fucking gone now because someone sat on them." I turned to look at Brooklyn whose tan cheeks went red under my glare and that's when I realised that there were eight other people in my room watching the mini drama that had played out and I could feel my dark face go red as silence consumed the room.
             Kuda tapped my shoulder and broke the stillness that had enveloped everyone "I don't know if I should tell you this now or just let it surprise you but dad says he's coming over in about an hour with Reneé and Blair." He said referring to our stepmother and stepsister respectively,
"Oh great I thought they were in Italy for the summer but at least I have the perfect excuse to leave the house, c'mon guys." I turned to face my friends and the four Australian boys who had wandered into my life over the past week "You can't go anywhere, I already told Reneé that you're home and Blair said she misses you and apparently you told her that she could stay with us for the week that they're here so she won't be bored." He smiled at me telling me that I was trapped.
          Surely enough little over an hour later a white Lexus SUV parked in our garage and my father stepped out with his wife and stepdaughter. I watched them enter the house from my bedroom windows not wanting to go downstairs until it was absolutely necessary and unfortunately for me that moment came all too soon when Kuda hollered my name from downstairs, I got off my windowseat and left my room. I walked down the stairs into the foyer where the three of them were standing with Kuda hugging our dad. I avoided passing them as they talked excitedly to each other "Hi Reneé." I gave my stepmother a hug as I greeted her and the hug was returned "Kiki, how are you, what happened to your hair?" She asked with a bright smile and a sufficient amount of surprise, Reneé isn't one of those step parents who hates you for no reason, but she's actually like a friend if I couldn't get what I wanted from my dad I would go to either her or Kuda,
"I'm alright, how about you, I dyed it, how was Italy?" I asked and answered her question all in one breath while giving Blair a hug
"Oh, it was amazing and we got you so many stuff, I'll give them to you when I unpack, are you sure it's okay for me to stay?" She looked at me with slight worry in her eyes
"Of course Blair, were family, so do you want to use the guest room or share my room?" I asked but I didn't hear her reply, I looked at Kuda talking to our dad and I remembered the times my dad and I would actually talk to each other like that "Are you gonna try today?" Blair asked, I turned to her, she was trying to get me to talk my dad, "I don't think so." I shook my head as I spoke
"Kiki come on just try, he might actually give you a reply this time." I looked at Reneé who had joined her daughter in trying to convince me to talk to him, I decided that trying couldn't hurt anyone even if he yelled at me,
"Hi Dad." I squeaked fearful of annoying him, but of course my father killed every hope of us ever having a proper relationship
"Can't you see I'm talking to your brother Kiara, we're having an important discussion here and I don't need you to bother me!" He snarled back at me in reply and I looked away unwilling for him to see the tears brimming in my eyes but my voice betrayed my emotions "I'm sorry." I replied in a shaky voice and my only response was a grunt.
          I led Blair up the stairs to my room and stopped in front of my door "Hey, do you know Five Seconds Of Summer?" I asked facing her,
"Of course, they're the best band in the world." She smiled at me,
"Well then I have a surprise for you." I said and opened my door for her to enter, I followed behind her then shut my door and turned her in the direction of my room extension where I had left everyone sitting, Blair's mouth hung open as incoherent sounds escaped her lips,
"Why do you have 5SOS in your room?" She asked looking between me and the boys when she finally got her bearings,
"I kidnapped them." I said making sure the sarcasm in my tone was evident
"You probably just met at McDonald's or something like that." She smiled her hazel eyes lighting up
"You're close, it was Starbucks." Brooklyn said to her getting up to charge her phone
"I honestly don't think she was talking to you." Luke snapped at her and she spun back on her heel,
"And I don't think you were born to be a twat, I guess we're both breaking the rules." She replied pasting a sickly sweet smile on her face
"Well only a leader would know her subordinates, so that makes you the queen of twats." 
"You see you never think your comebacks through long enough to know when you're just insulting yourself, you basically just called yourself my subordinate meaning that I control you." She shot back, Luke was about to reply when Blair spoke, "Do they always fight like this?" She asked dropping her green and black suitcase on my bed and opening up the zip as her red hair fell from the bun it was in as her body moved with the weight of the suitcase "Oh, this is just a demo, they usually go full out on swearing." I answered joining her on my bed, "Just like you two hours ago when you were talking to your brother." I looked at Michael who had just spoken, I flipped him off and he stuck his pink tongue out at me.
              My father had left with Reneé and Kuda came back up to join us again "Aren't you guys going to do your cover this week?" He sat on the yellow bean bag next to my bed and stretching out his legs "Yeah, right I was thinking we could do a rock and roll version of Rockabye." I said.
         And that's basically how my day went.
