We did as Connor said and waited for my dad to come back. I made a cup of tea for everyone and brought out a tray of biscuits to help keep us all occupied. We sat in silence drinking our tea and I was so close to preferring the atmosphere between Con and Oliver yesterday. Once my mum and dad had got back we all went into our 'formal dining room', I had only been in this room twice ever. It was a long room which ran along the left hand side of the house, a huge oak table was slammed in the centre of it. I took a seat at the end of one side and I was then followed on by; Con, Autumn, Ashton, Brad, Emily, Michael, Luke, Jeanne, Tris, James and Kayla, Calum just managing to squeeze a spare chair in at the end of 'our side'. The other side consisted of; my dad, mum, Joe and Laura. This was going to turn into a war, I could tell.
We sat arguing for nearly two hours: well Kay, Emily, Jeanne and I sat bored out of our minds whilst the boys argued with Joe. Joe, had written an 'agenda' for the meeting so it would go 'smoothly'. Joe agreed that the boys could announce the relationships after Con told him that he was willing to leave the band, I really hope he was joking.
It then turned out that my dad didn't want Con and I together at all. He said that it would ruin his bands (that he manages) chances of 'making it'. After that, I lost it completely, Autumn had to physically drag me out of the room whilst I continued to shout at him. Ashton came out running behind us.
"Grace, it's okay, calm down." Ash said running his warm hands up and down my bare arms which were almost shaking with anger
"How fucking dare he! The fact that Con and I going out would affect his 'band' is absolute bull." I screamed sliding down onto the floor
"It's okay, don't worry the boys are going to sort it out. Luke, Calum, Mickey, Con, Tristan, Brad and James are all trying so hard to convince him." He said siting down next to me
"I know, he just...urgh." I burst into tears
"Grace it's okay, there's nothing dad can do to separate you and Con. If that's how he sees us going out with people from other bands then he's going to have to think again." Autumn slipped her hand into Ash's and smiled at me
"But you've known each other a day?" I questioned
"We have been texting for a while, after she spammed me on twitter and I followed her. She stared messaging me twenty four seven," Ash laughed "I replied to her and we stated talking on a regular basis. I then gave her my phone number and we were texting a lot."
"Oh, okay. Sorry." I said beginning to stop myself from crying
"It's fine. Grace?" Ashton said to me pulling me up
"Yeh?" I answered
"Smile, your so much more beautiful when you smile." He told me whipping the tears from my cheeks I jumped on him and hugged him tightly, he had gone from a member of one my favourite bands to almost what felt like a big brother
"Come on now, I'm sure there all missing us!" Autumn said once I had let go of Ashton and attempted to make myself look even the slightest bit presentable
We stood next to the closed doors, it had calmed down in there, a lot. Autumn oped the door and walked in with Ashton, hand in hand. I quickly chuffed behind them to sit down next to Con. Joe explained to us what we has missed; my dad was going to ask both Autumn and I to move out. This wasn't much of a big deal, he would still send us money but he just didn't want to 'be seen with us anymore'. Autumn was a little more hurt by this than I was, she didn't really have anywhere to go. Yes she lived on the campus of the University she went to but apart from that, she had no where. She looked to our mum who quickly diverted her eyes in a different direction, she didn't want us to go. I know she didn't.
