The End of All Things

Like Nothing You've Ever Seen Before

Harper's POV

"Harper? Harper? Hello earth to Harper? Harper!" Ryan yells waving his hands in front of my face.

"Whaaa." I say in a daze.

"Stop staring he's off limits." Ry smirks at me.

"More like a challenge." I retort.

"Harper Marie Ross he's my best friend." Ryan says serious this time.

"Eye candy." I say putting my hands up in defeat.

"Candy? What?" Brendon asks walking over to Ry and I.

"No just my dork of a sister sticking her hand in the cookie jar." Ryan says.

"What? No!" I squeak and blush, my voice going up an octave higher than usual.

"You're so cute." B chuckles walking away.

"Oh my god did you see the way he looked at me!" I squeal with excitement grabbing Ryan's arm. I've had the biggest school girl crush on Brendon since high school.

"Oh my god did you see the way I don't care!" Ryan mimics me sarcastically. " You're fucking 25 but I swear when it comes to B you're like a 7 year old."

"Hey hey hey." I say sticking my hand out, "I am a 7 year old. Besides you act the same way around Emma." I sass.

"Shut up okay." he blushes and smiles looking down at the ground.

"What about Emma?" a familiar voice chimes in.

"Pattycakes!" I smile running up to hug Patrick and Pete.

"So what about Emma?" Trick asks again crossing his arms over his chest and raising an eyebrow.

"Just about how my brother is in love with your sister."

"Yeah everybody knows that." Pete chuckles.

"What does everyone know?" Gerard asks as him and Frank walk into the studio, "That Ryan is in love with Emma?"

"Surprise surprise." Frank chimes in hugging me.

"GUYS!" Ry huffs.

We all laugh as Ryan pouts at our remarks.

"Okay so I know why all us guys are here," Pete says, "But Harper what are you doing here?"

"She slept here." B says from the couch shaking his head.

"Harper do you ever leave the studio?" Gerard laughs.

"Not really." I smile.

"And tell them what instruments you play, H." Trick says.

"Guitar, ukulele, drums, bass, piano, accordion, and violin." I rattle off.

"And she's got a voice that gives B a run for his money." Ryan says putting his arm around me and smiling proudly.

"You play all these instruments and you're recording an EP. Is there anything you can't do?" Frank asks.

"It's really not that special." I shrug.

"Are you kidding me." Brendon says, "The bitch can fly."

"Hey don't call my sister a bitch!" Ry says playfully shoving B.

"I say that because she's humble and I'm proud.'' B smiles.

"You can fly?" Pete questions.

"Yeah." I smile, "I got my pilot's license last week.
