Demophobia -fear of crowds
•••
4 year old Amelia Lynn Clifford was diagnosed with demophobia at the age of 3. When her parents pass away, she has to live with her famous older brother and his bandmates.
"Mikey, Mikey, wake up! The Easter Bunny came!" Amelia exclaimed, jumping on me.
"Oh, he did?"
"Yeah Mikey, hurry! Lukey said I had to get you up before I can look at my basket and look for eggs."
I got up tackling Amelia with cuddles. She giggled and began pushing me away.
"I can't move Mikey"
"Exactly."
"Pwease Mikey, we go now"
"Fine" I said, picking her up and taking her out into the living room. The boys and I (including arzaylea because she came over last night)at 2 in the morning, hid the eggs (when we knew she was dead asleep), while arzaylea made her Easter basket. It had some chocolate, a few Scooby doo and Barbie movies, peeps, and a few other things. It also had a 3 foot stuffed bunny, which is taller than Amelia.
"Mikey look at all the eggs!" She exclaimed.
"I know,love, I see them!" I said with just as much enthusiasm. Her eyes then land on the Easter basket, and her jaw dropped. She ran to the bunny and hugged it.
"Its so big" she gasped.
"Thats what she said" calum whispers. I smack him in the back if the head.
"Mikey, I get all the eggs now?" I nodded and handed her a little basket to put the plastic eggs in. She immediately begin to pick up every one in sight, even going the extra mile to look outside and in cupboards and closets. Were probably going to be finding extras throughout the year.
There was one particular egg that was a little to high for Amelia to get, so Luke, being the giant he is, went over and picked her up so she could reach the egg.
"Thank you lukey" she giggled before running around and getting more.
"She's so adorable" arzaylea gushed. We nodded in agreement; Amelia is adorable.
She soon came back from finding all the chocolate and penny filled eggs looking a little tired.
"Did that tire you out, bubs?" I coo, picking her up and setting her on my hip. She shook her head, but let it sit in the crook of my neck.
"Do you want to open up the eggs now?" She nodded, so I placed her back on the floor. All the adults sat on the couches and Amelia was sitting on the carpet so she wouldn't ruin the couch.
"Mikey look! I gots chocolate" she giggled.
"I see that baby" I said, looking at her fondly.
"I think cal and I should go make breakfast." Ashton said as him and calum got up heading for the kitchen.
Calum came back into the room with a plastic bag, saying it was for Amelia's candy and money.
Once she finished cleaning up all the stuff (putting the eggs in the basket and the others in a plastic bag), she came over to where I was sitting and got on my lap.
She layed down so that I was cradling her and her body was cuddling into my chest.
"Watcha doing there, lovely?" I ask.
She mumbles something inaudible, eo I just kissed the top of her head and played with her hair.
Soon, breakfast was finished and we all ate, making sure to thank calum and Ashton for making the food.
Soon enough, we decided to relax a bit and watch movies since we had no where else to go till later.
I had amelia cuddled up between me and Ashton and we were currently watching toy story.
Soon, Ashton, arzaylea, and calum all had to leave to go have dinner with their families.
"Hey, my mom said that if you want, you and amelia can come over for dinner, you want to?" Luke asked.
I hesitated. "We don't want to intrude-"
"It's not a problem. My mom's the one who invited you guys. Not that I wasn't going to, but she beat me too it." He laughed.
"I guess that's okay. I just have to get amelia ready." Luke nodded.
"Take your time, man. No rush".

We walked back downstairs to Luke.
"Awe you look so cute, love" Luke cooed as he took the hand opposite of the one I was holding.
"Thank you lukey" she whispered. He smiled and buckled her in while I got in the passenger seat.
We soon arrived to the hemmings household. Liz welcomed us with hugs, and I shook Andy's hand, Amelia just giving him a high five.
Jack and ben soon came over, and eventually stealing Amelia from me.
"You're not getting her back" jack laughed as he and ben ran around with her. Luke and I laughed as we sat down to talk with his family.
"Thank you guys, again, for inviting me and Amelia. It means a lot" I say.
Liz shushes me. "Michael, dear, we've known you for how long again? Youre part of the family, you guys are welcome any time."
I smiled. "Thank you mama Liz"
