LAURENS POV.
Today turned out to be a good day, but I was online reading things and reviews of our songs, and things got sucky. I just didnt wanna get out of bed after that. Wrong thing to do before you got out bed. Im sure if i didnt get out of bed, my family would be sooo suspicous. So i guess i better get out of bed. As i walked down the stairs, everyone got up from the table. "Wheres everyone going" I asked?? Everyone looked at me as if i had forgotten something. "What, why is everyone looking at me" I screamed. Suddenly Joey walked up to me. "Its 12 in the afternoon, i have my swimmeet today" Joey said. At that moment i felt horrible, i forgot about joeys big swimmeet, with all the comments and harsh reviews i had read, i pretty much forgot about the family function. Joey looked back at me putting his plate into the dishwasher "You are going write Lauren" Joey said with all seriousness.. I didnt really want to go, but i had to be there for my brother. "Yes of course i wouldnt miss it for the world little dood" I said lying. Joey and i had that type of relationship where i could say something lying, and he wouldnt even know. So i got my clothes on for the day, and hopped in the car with Micheal. Seeing as our family of 13 couldnt drive in 1 car... I got in the car with Micheal, and Dani hopped in.... "Dani what are you doing, theres only room for 2 people in my pickup" Micheal scremed. Dani got the most rude look on her face i had ever seen. "Ill just sit on Laurens lap" Dani said in reply. Micheal let her sit on my lap, and i was so smooshed on this 15 minute ride to the pool where Joeys swim meet was taking place.
Danis Pov...
Lauren got a little shocked as i sat on her lap, i didnt care though. I wanted to go in the car with her, and i was close with her so i honestly think she didnt mind. Well i guess she did. Lauren didnt seem like herself though. So i proceeded to stare at her as i tried to figure out what the heck it was. I kept staring but never figured out what it was. "Lauren, whats wrong you're not yourself today" I said. We werent even 4 minutes into the ride, but i had no answer from Lauren. Which led me to think something was seriously wrong, but as i was always told, if no one acutally tells you whats wrong, you cant get them help. So i guess i would have to let Lauren drown in sadness until she came clean, if she ever did.
10 mintues later.
Laurens Pov.
I didnt wanna tell dani what was wrong. All i could think about was those rude anonomys messages from those people in ITunes. Those messages, where all on the reviews on our videos, and on our songs. They got me pretty upset. So dani and micheal got out of the car. As dani hopped out she turned around said "You comin sista".. I looked at her with a blank stare, as if she hadnt said a word. Seeing as the swimmeet didnt start for 23 minutes, i was planning on reading more comments. "No, ill get out in a little i wanan do something quick". Dani said "Whatever floats your baseball hat" which is a random phrase she started saying, and slammed the door to micheals truck. I picked up my iphone and started reading more comments.
Anonomys: The girl with the baseball hat, is horrible. Shed be better off not in the band.
Anonomys: The girl with the super high squeeky voice, needs voice lessons.
Anonomys: Lauren stinks, she needs voice lessons, are you sure shes actuall your sister.
I was really hurt by these. It was fair, they picked on me. Obviously i wasnt the only one who got constant hate, Amy did too. I just took it wayyyy to hard, harder then i ever shouldve, but i really dont like it when people say meaner things about me then my sisters. None of us are better then the other, suddenly i felt so overcome with emotions, that i felt like i needed to run. So i got out of micheals truck, setting off the alarm, and i ran straight for the high way, and into the woods on the other side, where i could still see his car.
Micheals POV:
Suddenly i heard my car alarm went off, i had no clue why, and then i looked at Dani. "Dani do you know why my car alarm is going off" I asked. "How should i know, i dont have eyes everywhere like mom does" I have a little chuckle laughing at danis reply. She just tells it like it is. Shes a funny kid, and very sarcastic too, she learns that from Lauren though. I got to my car, noticing the back door open, i qucikly check for stolen items. i had no clue how my door opened.
Laurens POV:
From the other side of the highway, i saw micheal staring at his car looking for lost items, i am guessing no one ever told him, that i was still in his truck. I watched him and chuckled, "Hes soooo stupid" i thought. My mind was racing. As i read more more horrible comments, some about me, some about Christina, and some about Dani. I continued to read more anonomys questions, and they got worse and worse as i scrolled down.
Anonomys: Lauren sucks, why did you pick her to be in the band.
Anonomys: Christinas scum, why is she in the band. She shouldnt even be a singer.
Anonomys: Dani sucks. She sounds like a guy, or Justin beiber lol.
Anonomys: Lauren is a snob, i can see why her best friend hates her now.
I contintued to read. As my eyes skimmed across i saw the words like "Scum" "Filthy" "Loosers" "Lesbians" "Fatsos" and the worst ones of all "Slut" and "Prostotute"
In my mind i thought.. "How can people be such jerks when they dont even really know me or my sisters. Im sure if htey knew us in real life, they would realize we arent what their calling us, and theyd probably feel horrible.
Danis POV:
Joeys swimmeet was just ending, and we where head counting just to make sure we had everyone. Micheal counted 10 kids, and mom double checked in age order, to see who we're missing. "Micheal, Christina, katherine, Lisa, Amy, Alex, Laur......" She paused not seeing Lauren, we immediately started to skatter, we ran acorss the "Laurennnnn" I yelled overtop of everyone. We where all super worried, we had never lost a kid. Suddenly Christina, and Alex ran across the highway, and found Lauren listening to music, and sitting on a rock. "We found herrrrr" Christina screamed across the highway. Everyone quikly looked at each other, we where all so curious as to how Lauren got over there. Suddenly micheal looked at me, and said "Thats why my car alarm went off". I was like... Duhhhhhh.... Lauren and our family, where finally going back home, yes we where all concerned about Lauren, but seeing that she wouldnt tell hus what wa wrong, we couldnt do anything about it.
