Hunter
Sky looks at me with a look of disbelief. 

"I have to talk it over with my brothers. One minute please." She says into the phone. She turns to me and smiles.

"You want to be a part of a new tour?" She asks. I look at her in disbelief. 

"YESS!" I squeal. She smiles. She runs in to Brandon's room handing me the phone. After two minutes she runs back in and grabs the phone from me.

 "We're all in." She smiles. 

"Ok... Ok.. Ok thank you so much!... You too... Bye." She says while on the phone. 

"WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!" She smiles hugging me. I smile and hug her back. 

"With who?" My mom asks. 

"I don't know. He said he'd text you with the rest of the information." She smiles. My mom nods and walks out. I turn my attention to my broadcast.

"Guy's I'm sorry to cut this short but me and Sky have to talk about this. Bye cuties." I smile ending the broadcast. Sky looks at me with a weird look. 

"Why does mom hate me?" She asks. 

"She doesn't.." I start but I couldn't finish my own sentence. Mom doesn't hate Sky. She hates the choices Sky decides to make. 

"Hunter." She says looking at me with a small tear in her eye. 

"She doesn't hate you, Sky. She hates the things you do." I say pulling her into a hug. 

"Like what?" She asks.

 "Nose ring. She thinks it's not appropriate for a 15 year old girl. Your clothing isn't really appropriate. Your belly ring. She thinks isn't appropriate. Nikki and Anna aren't really good influences. And you have an attitude." I sigh laying my head on her's. 

"YOU'RE DATING ANNA FOR PETE'S SAKE!" She yells. 

"SH! Mom will hear you!" I scold.

 "Exactly! You're not so good yourself!! And my appearance.. That's my decision. You wear Mom's bra's during some of your broadcasts. Your fans have named Henry! How am I the only bad one here?!" She groans.

 "HENRY WAS NOT MY IDEA!" I say trying not to laugh at how ridiculous this talk was getting. 

"I just want mom to cut me some slack. I'm a teenager. Some teens are worse then me. At least I'm not selling drugs or doing other illegal things." She sighs laying down on my bed. 

"I'm sorry." I sigh. She rolls her eyes. 

"You aren't sorry. You're probably happy you aren't the bad twin. If mom was on you every second of the day you'd explode." She laughs sitting at the edge of her bed. 

"Where you going?" I ask watching as she walks out of my room and into her's. 

"Nikki's. I need a girl moment." she sighs. I nod. 

"You need me to cover?" 

"Yeah." She sighs opening her sliding door to the porch. Yes. She has her own porch. From the porch she goes down the ladder. 

"BE HOME BY EIGHT PLEASE!" I call after her. 

"YEAH YEAH." She yells back.

 "TEXT ME IF SOMETHING HAPPENS!"

 "OKay!" She says. I hear her footsteps as she runs off into the distance. 

Skylar
Halfway to Nikki's house, my phone starts ringing. Hunter. I groan and answer. 

"MOM IS FREAKING OUT. GET HOME. NOW!" He says into the phone. I sigh and start running home. 

"I'll be there in five. Front door or bedroom?" I ask. 

"Doesn't matter. She knows your gone." He sighs.

 "Okay see you soon," I say hanging up. I start sprinting towards our house. When I get there I hear mom yelling. I walk in and all I hear is, 

"Hunter why would you let her run off like that?!" I go to his room where I find everyone.

 "Oh, my gosh Sky you're okay!" Mom says coming over to me and pulling me into a hug. I look at Hunter confused and he just shrugs. 

"What's going on here?" I ask looking at everyone confused. 

"Brandon, Hunter, Sky meet me in the living room. Ashton, you can go back to your room." She says. I look at Brandon and all he does is a shrug. She makes us sit on the couch and then sighs. 

"There's this guy going around Phoenix picking up kids. I don't want any of you out of the house alone." She says looking at us with a worried look. 

"And Sky if you want to go out just let me know. Don't let Hunter cover. Yes I know I don't like Nikki or Anna but they are your friends. And I need to respect that." She sighs. 

"Thanks, mom." I smile hugging her. This is the first time we've hugged since I was 7. It felt weird to be in her arms again. But it felt safe at the same time.

 "Dinner's on its way. Please stay in the house." She says pulling out of the hug. I nod and go upstairs. My phone buzzes from a dm on Instagram. I look at it and smile.

@bruhitszach: Hey. I just got a call from John. He said that you'd be on the YOUnow tour. I look forward to seeing you there😁

@skylarrowland: I look forward to meeting you too 😊

@bruhitszach: I didn't know you were Hunter's twin! That is so cool!! What is it like being a twin?

@skylarrowland: It's fun. Hunter is like my go to. He's like a human diary and he always has my back. But it does get annoying sometimes. 

@bruhitszach: That's sooo cool!! Well, I got to go my mom is on my butt about getting all my assignments done by the time we leave for tour. It was nice getting to talk to you 😆

@skylarrowland: nice talking to you too. Good luck on the assignments 😂😂

@bruhitszach: thanks I'm going to need all the luck I can get 😂😂

I smile. Zach seems so cool. I can't wait to meet him and the four other people on tour. And I can't wait to find out when we leave. I just want to get out of Arizona. Or at least Phoenix.
