Another Chance

Chapter 17

Emily's p.o.v:

"Listen I'm not getting up. No matter what you say."

I've been camped up in my room for 5 days now, but never left... I still took a shower and ate food, just didn't leave the house.
I know my mother and I were never close, I mean, I did come out of her womb.
And I never hade anyone close to me die before. Never thought it would be my mom.

"I'll buy you Starbucks." Phil says.

I stay silence and sigh. He's not gonna give up is he?
"Fine. I'll be out in ten." I grab a cute lazy outfit (above) and put my hair into a ponytail. I add some mascara and some chapstick.
I grab my white converses and my phone.
"Ready?" I ask. They nod and grab their coats.

We walk for a few minutes. We walk into Starbucks and I order a tall caramel frappacino. I tell the guy my name and he tries to flirt with me.
"Thats a pretty name." He says.

I roll my eyes, look at Dan and smile. I quickly grab Dan's hand and show the cashier, "I know."

Dan looks at me confused, "This guy was flirting with me. Just showing I'm taken." I whisper.
"oh okay." He kisses my cheek and laughs.

We finally get our drinks and head over to a bar, I look at them confused.
"Why are we here?"

"Read the sign." Dan says pointing at the window.

I turn around and read free Karioke, "I love karioke. Are you guys gonna sing too?"

"I don't think the world is ready for my beautiful voice." Dan says proudly.

I laugh and so does Phil, "You a lot of talking." I sass.
"Is that a threat?"

We walk in a grab a table, "I think so. If I win, I get one of you're sweaters."
He shrugs, "If I win, I get to post something really embarassing on you're twitter."

He puts his hand out, me hesitating, "I get one of you're favorite sweaters though. Not just some sweaters. Okay?"
"Deal." We shake hands and sign up for karioke. We tell the lady that Dan and I are going agenst each other, and want the audiance to decide the winner.

She nods and places our names on the list. We order some pizza, and wait.
"What song you gonna do?" I ask Dan.

"I don't know.... Honestly, I don't think I wanna sing anymore." He says nervously.
"So I win?" He sighs in defeat, and I smile.

"That's fine. I still want to sing though. Go cross yourself of the list."

He gets up and heads over to the lady. I watch her scribble on the paper and mouth 'have a nice day'.
After our pizza arrived, my name was called up to the stage.

I walk up the stage and look at the guys giving me a thumbs up. I never singed infront of the guys, so I was hella nervous.

"Hello, my name is Emily Lester, and I'm going to be singing 'She's kinda hot' by 5 Seconds Of Summer."

I wait for the music to turn on and breath. The music turns on, but it's not my song.
I swear I've heard this song before. Suddenly the words pop up in my head.

"There gonna clean up you're looks, with all the lies and the books to make a sinister out of you." I keep singing and smile, "Because they sleep with a gun, and keep an eye on you're son, so they can watch all the things you do."

I hear Dan and Phil cheer in the back, people also follow their lead and cheer.
"Because the drugs never work, their gonna give you a smirk, 'cause they got methods to keeping you clean."

"Their gonna rip off you're heads, you asperations for shreds. Another cog in the murder machine." I breath in real quick, and keep singing.

"They said, teenagers scare the living shit out of me. They can care less as long as someone will bleed. So darken you're clothes or strike a violent pose, maybe they'll leave you alone but not me."

I finish up the song and walk of the stage.

"That was amazing!" The boys say laughing.

"Thanks. But they played the wrong song. Good thing I knew the song."

"Oh.. You were still amazing. Not as good as me though."

I laugh and put a finger up to my chin, "Now. What do I win again?"

I know the answer, I just wanna hear him say it.

He sighs, "My favorite shirt or sweater."

I smile at his memory of the bet we made and pat his arm, "Yes sir. Now, may we go home?"

We walk out of the bar, and grab a cab back to the house.

~~~~~~

"This one." I say grabbing one of Dans black sweaters.

"That one? Whatever, I don't even like that one." He says.

"Then I guess I can pick another one?" I pull out his black sweater with the white star on the shoulders.

"You know, I actually love that one so, uh, please don't take it." He gives me innocent eyes.

I roll my eyes, and give him the stary sweater. I take the plain black one and run to my room.
I put it on and cuddle the softness. I put on some pj pants.

I poke my head out of my room, "Hey Dan. Come here real quick."
I see him walk up to me. I invite him into my room and turn on my laptop.
"Wanna watch anime?"

"Um, sure." I climb in my bed him following me. I open the netflix page and search Fairy Tale.
I get comfy in my blankets and play an episode. Dan grabs a little bit of my hair and plays with it. The feeling of his fingers going threw my hair is just relaxing.

I place my hand on his arm and start moving my fingers up and down.
"Who's you're favorite charecters in Fairy Tale?" He asks.

I rubbing his arm, then continue on a different part of his arm.
"Probably Erza or Grey. Oh, or Natzu. He's also pretty cool."

"I like Natzu. He's cool and has awesome powers." he laughs, but then pauses, "Are you happy living with us?"

I suddenly pop up and look at him confused.

"Where did that question come from?"

He looks down and laughs again, "I don't know. It just came to thought."

I lift his head up and kiss him, I pull away and sigh.
"Don't ever ask that question ever again. Kay?"

"Alright... I like you're sweater. Were'd you get it?" He jokes.

"My boyfriend got it for me. He's a sweet heart." I say kissing him again passionately.
"ah, so you're taken."

"Yep. Let's finish this episode." I unpause the video and cuddle Dan.

"Love ya."

"I love you too."
