18 Years // A.I.

Ch 04

Lilac's POV-

"Promise we will keep in touch?" I ask Meghan. She was crying, but she had every right to be. I was also in tears.

"Duh! Of course we will!" She says, smiling through the tears.

"Take care of her for me!" I cry, wrapping Stan in a bear hug. "Thank you for everything you have done for me. Get in touch if you ever come to Australia."

I let go of him and take a deep breath. I smile at them and turn away from them. I was upset, I didn't want to leave them. I take one last look at my childhood before climbing into the car beside Luke. He was so weird, how in God's name were we related, much less twins? Ben and Jack went home yesterday night and are supposed to be setting up my room. Who thought it would be a good idea to leave two grown man-children to set up a room?

"You okay?" A voice asks snapping me out my thoughts. I turn and see Luke looking at me worried.

"How can I be okay in all of this?" I ask him. He shrugs and nods his head understandingly. I could live by myself, but I was scared to be alone to be honest.

I watch the town fly by for the last time before we arrive to the tiny airport I had never been too. Mom never liked to fly, so we alwas drove or sailed to our vacation spots. As we board the plane, I quickly touch the plane as I walk onto it. Mom told me that touching the plane gave you good luck. I decide to listen to her advice for once and touch the plane for good measure. I have never been on a plane, well I have, but I was a baby.

"You okay, you look pale." Liz asks. I shake my head and sit between her and Andrew.

"What's wrong?" She asks, furrowing her eyebrows.

"I know I'm on a plane. It can crash over the water and my body will never be found because it will be eaten by shar-" Mom cuts me off by laughing.

"The chances of us crashing are very slim. Just close your eyes and take a long nap. I'll wake you up when we land." She says,  patting my knee. I curl up in my seat and lean my head on her shoulder. It felt comforting somehow, even though she was a stranger to me still.

Luke's POV-

I hear loud snoring coming from the seat in front of us. Mom doesn't snore, so it must be Lilac or as she told us to call her Lily. It will be fun to see her meet the guys. I already asked mom if I could bring her to a show if she wanted and mom agreed that I could, after all she is now just getting to see my dreams unfold. I wonder if she knows I'm famous?

"Why are you watching her sleep?" Dad asks from beside me. I had looked over the seat to see who was snoring, but found it was Lily. We looked nothing alike, not even when we slept.

"I heard snoring." I say, sitting back down in my seat. He nods his head and continues reading his book. We finally land back home with a new member to the family. I turn my phone on and see Ash has texted me.

Ashton: We are at Mike's house waiting

Luke: We just landed and she just woke up grumpy lol

Ashton: She would be your twin then, no mistake

I don't bother replying as a very sleepy and clumsy Lily walks beside me.

"Who are you talking to?" She asks, almost falling on me. I wrap an arm around her to keep her up. 

"A friend who you'll meet very soon. Did you know I'm famous?" I ask, looking down at her.

"Yeah, I follow you and your band." She smiles.

I wrap my arm around her tighter as we walking into the airport. Fans crowd us and I feel her tense up. I push through them and go to the car awaiting us. Ben and Jack get our luggage and meet us in the car.

Lilac's POV-

"This is your room." Mom says opening a door to reveal a very modern room much like my old one. I put my luggage down and go lay on the bed. I feel someone come jump beside me.

"Go away." I mumble already dozing off. I was so tired and the time was already over a half day difference.

"No, you want to go meet my bandmates?" He asks.

"Do I get to change out of my sweats?" I ask.

"No, you act like they care how you dress." He says walking down the hall.

"First impressions are everything." I say, following him outside to his car.

"Other side!" He shouts from behimd me. I jump and walk around to the passenger side of his car. To be famous, his car wasn't that nice. His drives to a house not far from his, but the traffic was awful here so it took forever to get there.

"Mike were here!" He shouts, walking into the house. I hesitate before walking in behind him.
He goes down to the a basement. I follow him and see two guys, Michael and Calum playing FIFA and another guy playing with drumsticks, Ashton. I guess it paid off being a fan of them.

"Oh hey, didn't hear you guys!" Mike shouts, before scoring a goal.

"Hi." I mumble sitting beside Cal.

"This is Mike with the green hair, Cal the Kiwi one, and Ash the drummer." Luke says pointing to each one of them. His descriptions were all to accepting of each.

"I know who they are, Luke. Remember I am a fan?" I sarcastically say, before getting comfy on the sofa.

"You dragged her here didn't you? Ash laughs.

"Yes, I did and she is going back to sleep somehow." I hear Luke laugh as I close my eyes.

"Damn right, I am." I mumble.
