Chapter 61: flick flick bish

LIV

Michael took the picture and looked at it. "Wow Liv, you guys were really close." He said sitting next to me on the floor. Everyone sat down with me and just talked about it. "I remember the year you convinced him to bring you and Samantha to my house and stay for like three weeks. Damn you guys got into so much trouble. That was before what happened though you know?" I nodded at her and smiled at the thought of us running away that summer.

"This was his senior picture. Taken a month before my parents beat him and Samantha to death." Michael rubbed my back and I leaned only his shoulder. "Well you know Liv. He's looking down on you right now and remembering all the good times you two had. Running away to Meli's house. Uhhhhh I don't know any-" Meli cut him off, "dyeing your hair multiple times, almost making you miss your train into town for school, forgetting your 15th birthday and making up for it by taking you to an All Time Low concert. Then he taught you how to drive, let you almost crash his car, and took you to get your permit and drivers license. There wasn't a place you two didn't go together. He was two years older than you, but you guys were so close and he was your best friend." She said making me laugh.

"He was there when my first boyfriend broke up with me. He was there when chase happened. We were supposed to run away the night he died. Mikey you would have loved him. He was so emo haha." I started to laugh when I mentioned how emo he was. Everyone but Meli looked at me weird. "He gave me my first tattoo. It's hard to see but it's there." I pointed to the spot on my ankle. "It says 'emo forever and always' then the date he gave it to me. I was like 15. But I gave him one too so we were even. Stick and poke tattoos are fun." I said standing up.

"Carter honey let's put you in a cute outfit!" I said grabbing her and spinning her. She was still in her pajamas and I laid her on my bed and tickled her as everyone went back to what they were doing. Leila brought their suitcases in and went to get dressed in the bathroom. I rummaged through her bag until I saw a cute outfit.

I braided her hair up and then put it in a messy bun. "Look mummy! Livvy dresses me!" She said as Leila came out of the bathroom. Leila laughed and picked her up dancing with her. I heard Carter's giggle and then Luke ran over and grabbed her throwing her on the bed to tickle her. She squealed as he did this and scrunched up laughing. "Tickle monster tickle monster tickle monster!" Luke chanted laughing with her. Then he grabbed Leila and Michael grabbed me hiding me from him.

When he was done I laid down with the girls. Our heads were together and we were all laughing. I heard a shutter and looked up and Luke was standing above us. "Oh god Leila, Carter, roll!" I yelled as Luke got ready to flop. We all rolled out of the way as he flopped. I almost rolled off onto my stomach, but Luke caught me. He pulled me onto the bed and started to cuddle me. "Luke, hun, I've got to get ready." I said laughing into his chest. He chuckled and just pulled me closer humming Ed Sheeran songs. "Dance with me!" He said pulling me off the bed. "Take me into your living arms! Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars place your hand in my beating heart! I'm thinking out loud." He sang as everyone recorded us. "Maybe we found love right where we are." I sang as he stopped and hugged me.

"I can't believe your pregnant Liv and I'm so proud of you for finally getting the family you deserve even if it isn't with me. I guess we just weren't meant to be. You always tell me that I'll find the one and I know you'll be here when I do. Which just makes me grateful for you because the way I look at you now is way different I see you as a sister now. You're no longer the girl I want to be with, although I wouldn't be mad if you were because hot damn Babygirl, you are the younger sister I never had and I will surely beat Calum's ass whenever you say to." He chuckled and smiles down at me. "I'm telling you all of this because I don't know what I would do if you didn't stay with me through all the hard times, hell I might not even be alive if it were for you. I'm gonna protect both Hood babies with my life as Uncle Luke the future babysitter. I'm gonna teach them all of the instruments I can and voice lessons and non violent things cough Mikey cough." We looked at him and he threw his hands up. "What the fuck i feel so attacked!" He said laughing.

"I guess what I mean to say is I love you Liv and I can't wait to be there for as long as I live." He finished and wiped my tears away. I nuzzled into the chest and cried. "I love you too Luke, through thick and thin." Everyone started to clap even little Carter as she ran up to us and hugged our legs. We both looked down and then picked her up.

"Y'all lazy asses come in for a group hug." I said waving Meli, Mike, and Leila over. "Liv, so I'm livestreaming in your phone and Brendon Urie says stop be sappy loveshits." We all laughed and I grinned. "Calm down DJ forehead I have a boyfriend that is not Luke." I said this with a straight face and Michael started dying. "Shit-fuck-nipple-dick that's holy hell thats funny." Michael kept choking on his words.

I took that as my opportunity. I flicked his neck and he coughed. "SHIT!" He wheezed. Then he flicked my neck repeatedly and I looked him dead in the eye. "Why isn't it working?!" He yelled continuing to flick me. "I have a neck of steel!" I said staring at him. "Brendon says we should all meet up when he's in town tomorrow!" Meli said wide eyed. "Dm me BOI!" I said jumping into the bed next to Meli. "Girls we gotta get going Liv's gonna be late for her and Calum's date!" Luke said grabbing his and Leila's bag. "You guys go down. Us girls are going to go together just incase." Mike and Luke nodded at us and I went to grab my stuff. That's when I noticed Michael took my bag. So none of us had stuff.

We walked down and I held Leila's hand. "Keep Carter close to your chest. I'll lead, Meli you follow. Carter honey, no matter what I want you to cover your ears and close your eyes okay?" She nodded at me and I rubbed her head leading them out the doors. I pushed through the crowd leading Leila and Carter to the car. Meli was lost. "Get in I'm gonna go back for her." I went back in and pulled Meli out to the van. The boys were in the van luckily. "We'll take it you girls take Liv's car." Luke said in the drivers seat. I checked the dm I have from Brendon and we ended up just trading numbers.

What a great day so far.
