Kayla's POV

I'm Kayla and I'm 17 years old, I live in London with my father. My dad and I have a great relationship, we're like best friends, and I like it that way, I can tell him anything, I told him about my first kiss, first boyfriend, he was more excited than I was, he wasn't one of those dads who are over protective and I loved that about him.

My mum died when I was young, about 3, and I never knew the real cause of death until a few years ago, she died from a drug overdose. My dad never remarried but about 5 months ago he met this woman, Anne Marie, and they have been dating for about 4 months. They are seriously in love, by there's one downside, she lives in Australia and is only here for 6 months, so she's leaving next month. I didn't know her that well but she made my dad happy by the looks of things.

"Kayla, wanna go shopping?" My dad asked, "Sure" I said grabbing my parka and phone and leaving the house with her, "So Kayla, you've left school now, have you any ideas what you wanna do with your life?" dad asked as we got into the car, "Well I wanna be a singer dad, you know that, but I know that's a bit out there, I'm still just making videos on YouTube of me singing" I said chuckling, "You take your time, and remember, if you really wanna be a singer, then you be a singer" he said as we pulled up to the familiar shopping centre, "Get whatever you want, my treat" dad said as he followed me into forever 21.

..

"Okay I wanna talk to you Kayla" dad said as we sat in McDonalds, "Yeah? What's up?" I asked, "I'm getting married Kayla, we're moving to Australia next week" he said, I spat my juice out, "We're what?" I said, "Well, Anne Marie has to go back to Australia and I really do love her, Kayla, and we decided to get married and move to her house in Australia" he said, I don't know if I was excited or angry at the thought of moving.

"Oh" was all I said, "She has a son a few years older than you" dad said, "Her house is nice, from pictures I've saw anyway, and it's right next to a shopping centre Anne Marie says" he said, trying to help the situation, "Dad, I'm not mad" I said, "You're not? I thought you wouldn't wanna move" he said, "Well I'm not over the moon at the thought, but Anne Marie makes you happy and I have always wanted to go to Australia" I said, "We have to go and pack, we leave on Monday morning" he said, "You said next week! I only have 4 days?" I said, "It still is next week, it's Thursday" he said, "Let's go" I said, throwing my empty McDonald's paper bag thing, into the trash and leaving with dad.

..

"This is is Kayla, are you ready to see your new house and brother?" Anne Marie asked, she always told me to call her Anne and not Anne Marie, "As ready as I'll ever be" I said as we got out of the car, i'll admit, I was pretty hyped and excited, but I was exhausted too.

"Okay Kayla, meet my son Ash" Anne said, "I'm Ashton, but everyone calls me Ash" he said, "I'm Kayla" I said, "How old are you Kayla?" Ashton asks me, "Just turned 17, how old are you?" I asked, "19, almost 20" he said, "Ash, how about you show Kayla around, let her meet the boys?" Anne suggested, "Sure, you up for it Kayla?" Ashton asked, "Sure thing" I said as I followed him out the door, "I like your top" Ashton said, I looked down at my white All time Low top and smiled, "They're my favourite band" I admitted, "Who else do you listen to?" he asked as we got into his car, "Um, all time low, you me at six, paramore, green day, mayday parade, kings of Leon, just stuff like that" I said, "You have a sick taste in music, you are officially good enough to be my sister" he said, I chuckled, "Wasn't I good enough before?" I asked, "Well, yeah, but now you're even better" he said, I chuckled as we pulled up to a house.

"All the boys are inside" Ashton said, "How much of them are there?" I asked, "Four, including me" he said, I nodded as he opened the door and I followed him inside, "Hi guys, this is my new sister Kayla" Ashton introduced me, "Nice to meet you all" I said as three boys around my age stood up and walked over to me. "I'm Calum, or Cal for short" Calum said, "Nice to meet you Cal" I said hugging him, "I'm Michael, call me Mikey" Michael said hugging me, "Its nice to meet you Mikey" I said, "I'm Luke, I don't have a nickname, well I get called Lukey" Luke said, I looked up and saw a perfect human being stand in front of me, "Hardly a nickname if its longer than my original name though" he added, "Its nice to meet you, Lukey" I said hugging him.

"So Kayla, tell us about yourself" Ashton said, "Well I've just turned 17, I've left school, thank fuck, I have lived in London my full life, my mum died when I was like 3 cause she was a druggie, my best friend and I had a huge argument the other day because I had to move and he was being a pain, my past boyfriend cheated on me, every boyfriend I've had has cheated on me, um, what else do you wanna know?" I asked laughing, "Favourite song ever?" Luke asked, "Time bomb by all time low" I answered, "Favourite colour?" Michael asked, "Purple, or red" I said, "Do you have any piercings? Other than your clearly visible lip piercing?" Calum asked, "My ears, lip, belly button, industrial bar, tragus and I had my nose pierced but I let it close up" I said, the looked shocked, "I also have four tattoos" I added, "I have this little cross on my hand, I have the word 'cheese' on my foot, I had the word 'hope' on my middle finger, and I have an anchor on my ankle" I said.

"Why do you have the word cheese on your foot?" Ashton asked laughing, "I was drunk, it was a dare, I don't say no to dares" I said laughing, "Sounds like you have a wild one as a sister Ash" Michael said, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Luke asked, "No" I said, "Is it because of the cheating thing?" he asked, "Well, if any boyfriend, or in your case girlfriend, unless you're gay--" he cut me off, "I'm not gay" he said laughing, "Well if any girlfriend you had cheated on you, I don't think you would be easy to get" I said, "Are you saying I'm easy to get?" Luke said, "I don't even know you Luke, I'm just saying metaphorically, I only just met you, how the fuck am I supposed to know if you're easy to get or not" I said laughing, "He is" Ashton said causing everyone, except Luke, to laugh.

"Now I'm off, I'm gonna go and walk around, bye, thank you for being nice to me" I said as I skipped out the house, literally skipped.

Ashton's POV

"Luke you fancy my sister" I said laughing, "I do not" Luke said, recovering from his beet root red state, "Then why were you blushing when she was talking to you" Cal said, "I do not have a crush on Ashton's sister" he said, "She's hot though" Mikey said, "Dude, she's gonna be my sister soon!" I scolded, "Doesn't mean she isn't hot" he defended, "Yeah she is hot" Cal said, "And quite wild, four tattoos and about five piercings and she's only 17" Mikey said, well this conversation got awkward for me.

"I bet Lukey was daydreaming about how her belly button piercing looked" Cal said, "Yeah, or about how hot she'd look in a bikini" Mikey said, "GUYS!" I screamed, "She's my sister! This is awkward for me" I said, "Luke just admit you have a crush on her and we'll shut up" Cal said, "I don't have a crush on her" Luke said.

Luke's POV

I so have a crush on Ashton's sister. She's hot.
