Check Yes,Juliet (5SOS Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

A/N: This is kinda like Chapter 1 contenued in a way, so bare with me please haha.

That night I walked home from the shop to my little second-floor apartment that I shared with my sister and mother,still buzzing off the thought of the boy I had met. I kept one hand in my jacket pocket the whole way up the stair case,playing with my phone and silently hoping his name would flash across the screen. Of course,for all I know,he could be some sort of pimp looking for new game,but I tended to stay optimistic.

I knocked on the door,remembering I had left my key on the coffee table before I had left out,and bounced slightly as I waited for the girl on the other side of the door to open it.

The lock turned and the door swung back to reveille a tall girl with bright blue eyes and deep brown hair,dipped in blue,scowling slightly.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?"She scolded,standing in the door way,her arms crossed over her chest.

"Time doesn't exist,dearest,clocks do." I responded,pushing past her gently and entering the apartment.

"You had me worried sick,d'you know that! I thought I was going to have to put an APB out on you; you've been gone for hours!"

"Amity,I'm 16-years-old, and you're not my mother.You're not even my older sister!We're twins,ya know,or have you forgotten that we share a birthday?"

"Don't get smart with me,Juliet."We both stood in silence for a minute,just staring at each other from across the tiny living room,her toe slightly jabbing at the leg of the beaten up coffee table in front of her awkwardly,"So,did you find anything good at least?"

I held up the blue CD case in my hand and grinned at her,"But this wasn't the best thing I got."

"What was the best?"Amity questioned,jokingly,walking over to me to grab the CD out of my hand.

"A number."

"You finally applying for a job there?"Her eyes were gliding distractedly down the track list of the CD.

"Nope,I got a boys number,"That caught her attention,her head snapping up to look at me,"Relax,it's nothing like that.Apparently he's got a band that's got a good sound and he wants me to take a listen."

Amity smiled at me,shaking her head slightly,"You're so reckless sometimes,"She set the CD down on the table and plopped herself down onto our black leather sofa,sinking into it slightly since it had been way over-used and bought on a bargain,"But I guess so am I.What's his name?"

"Ashton,"I said with a smile,pulling my phone out of my pocket and opening up my contacts,"Ashton Irwin,I guess is how you pronounce it.He was nice,but a sarcastic little shit."

Amity chuckled a little,but her eyebrows were knitted together,her thinking apparent,"Ashton Irwin,"She repeated back to me,"sounds familiar."

"He seemed to be a regular at Digital Planet,so that's probably why."

"Yeah,yeah,sure,"She brushed it off before standing up off the sofa again,"Mom's gonna be home in about an hour,so we better get to dinner."

I trailed behind her as we walked into the little kitchen,cluttered with unwashed dishes and empty cracker boxes scattered on the counter.I crinkled my nose in disgust,but pulled the pasta box out from under the filth anyway and held it out to her.About the time I did that,I felt my phone buzz in my other hand,making me jump a little.

"It's him,"I said loudly,grinning at my sister before opening the message.

'Where for art thou Juliet? lol hey It's Ashton we were wondering if u culd stp by tomorrow and have a listen 2 our stuff? (: '

I felt my heart lift a little,grinning at my phone until I heard the front door swing open and hit the wall it was flung to. Amity audibly sighed and rip the top off the pasta box,a little too toughly.

"The beast is home early,"She breathed in my ear,causing me to stifle a laugh. After our father had died,three days before Amity and Is 8th birthday, our mother had gone off the deep end. Dad was the only source of income for our family,and suddenly mom had to take control and work for tips at a little restaurant downtown...it was there she met her partying buddies and was introduced to her best friend.His name?Jack Daniels.

Amity and I busied our selves with dinner while mom stomped to her room to change,leaving a cloud of perpetual darkness in her wake...

Once she was out of sight,I pulled my out my phone and replied to Ashton quickly,

'I'll try to make it. and maybe I could get my sister to tag along((: c u tomorrow !'

And that was it.That was the start of something that would last a lifetime.
