Chasing me

Chapter 1
wake me up dad

I woke with a start and lazily stretch my body across my double bed as the sun shone down in to my eyes. I look towards my windows and notice that my curtains are open, another attempt of dad's to get me to wake up earlier.

ping.

ping.

ping.

I lazily reach my arm out next to me and feel around until my fingers hit the rectangular object which is my phone. I pick it up and hold my thumb on the home button and wait for it to unlock my iphone. The screen turns on and lights up my face causing me to need to rub my eyes and turn the brightness setting down.

Once I can clearly see I notice that the Rose fam gc is blowing up with messages. Seriously my family is so addicted to technology and talking in this groupchat that I wouldn't be surprised if they all weren't in the same room as eachother while constantly messaging. My dad probably believes that if he spams the groupchat I will get fed up of my phone pinging and be forced to wake up and reply. He will never give up on finding a way to make me get out of bed before 11am.

I unlock my phone and scroll though all of the messages.

Teacup : ah I'm so nervous

Pops : ah I don't care

Crayon : why are you nervous?

Teacup : tickets go on sale tonight

Cam : hope you get them

Mumma : what time do they go on sale so I can be home in plenty of time?

Teacup : 6pm

Mumma : okay love you all. I'll be home at 5pm then. Cam make sure to order Domino's

I click off of iMessage before opening up Instagram and scrolling through my feed.

An hour of messaging my friends, stalking fit boys and listening to music, I finally lock my phone and climb out of my comfy bed.

My feet pad down the stairs towards the kitchen, feeling a sense of disappoint when I can not smell any whiffs of food.

"Where is all the food?" I ask as I look into the lounge where all my family are happily typing in the group chat like could they get any lazier?

"Well if you got up earlier there would be food for you but you didn't so go without" my dad replied as he looked up at me before turning his attention back to his phone.

"Gee thanks dad" I said sarcastically before opening all of the messages on the Rose fam gc before clicking straight back off it.

"You're welcome my least favourite daughter" he replied not taking his eyes off of his phone as he spammed the gc with irrelevant messages.

"Ouch" I said as I placed hand over my heart pretending to be hurt by his comment.

"You're welcome, now you can leave" he told me.

"Guys thanks for backing me up" I said as I glared at my siblings before storming off to the kitchen.

"Get out of the kitchen now Harper" my dad shouted after me.

I go to silently open the chocolate cupboard but my dad must of heard because he shouted "if you take any food then I will have your phone for a week young lady".

I walked out of the kitchen in defeat and flopped down onto the sofa next to Callie.

"So who are you going to see on tour this time?" I ask Terryann which causes everyone to look up from their phones and give each other a look. Well that is a bit strange.

"Oh nobody you would know" Cam replied which causes the others to let out a sigh.

"Hmm whatever keep your stupid secret then like I care" I said as I rolled my eyes.
