Because unlike you I'm going to put her first" - Kelly Clarkson

Emma's POV
It's been two months since I had signed to Steady Records now and I had published my EP album last week. People were not really going crazy about it but they bought it and I earned quite some money. I guess violin featuring dub step beats were something unique.
It wasn't like I was going to go on a world tour any time soon or anything, I just earned some money with an additional job. I was far from famous.
But it was going well and that was all that mattered.
Things at home had not gotten any better. The reverse was the case actually. My dad would come home drunk and aggressive even more often than before and he would beat me even harder than before which caused my mum to be even more depressed than two months ago.
But I had Reece and Amy as a constant in the storm and so I just kept marching on.
Reece supported me by baby sitting Amy whenever he could so I could go to the studio to record songs and he helped me covering up my sudden disappearance just in case any body wondered.
Reece and I were friends. Just friends.
Friends who sometimes accidentally kissed but we were in no relationship and I actually wanted to keep it that way.
He was great and Blake and George were really supportive too but what made me struggle sometimes was that they were away a lot.
Last month they had been in Los Angeles and on this weekend they've had a concert in Stuttgart. I missed them a lot and I needed them.
And this was not going to get any better and lately I've felt alone again.
Though the boys tried to do their music stuff mainly in Accrington, they went to London and Manchester a lot and I couldn't come with them.
It was hard enough to get to the recording studio, how was I supposed to visit George in Bedfordshire or Blake in Manchester?
Reece hadn't been home for a week now and missing him was the worst. Every time he was gone, I noticed how much I actually liked him and how badly I needed him.
He had been in Germany and went to Blake's home straight afterwards. Today they were going to George's for some rehearsals and recording.
And I was sitting home, taking care of Amy.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Amy with all my heart and I loved spending time with her but sometimes I just wished I could be a normal teenager and have a normal life.
College, parties, shopping, boy bands... Okay actually, a band with only male singers were my best friends but that doesn't count.
As I heard the door being opened I stopped daydreaming and carried on cleaning.
Amy was sitting on the floor, doing a puzzle while she was peacefully humming one of the melodies from my EP.
