Our Laughter Lines (Dan Smith Fanfiction) - Watty's 2014

Cold Shoulder - Chapter 1

Audrey seems very happy. Living in Los Angeles, amazing work, wonderful boyfriend. She can't stop talking about him.

"He's Irish, sis!" says my older sister, "James is lovely, you have to meet him!"

"Is he? That's great! I'm happy for you, sis" I say by Skype.

"You look beautiful! How's everything?" 

"Thanks. I'm doing well. Leeds is nice." I replied.

"Where's Ryan?" Audrey asked looking at me.

"I guess he's..." I looked at the notifications on my phone. "He is with a girl... He just posted a pic on Instagram..." 

"Oh yes, he is." My sister checks her phone. "Another girlfriend?"

"Oh no. I don't think so. She must be another date. You know. He never ever gets too involved with someone..." 

I look at my phone. "Gonna dinner out. Probably gonna arrive late. Plz don't get mad <3 u xo". Ryan texted me. I read '<3 u' twice smiling. "With the girl on Instagram pic? ;) okay, <3 u 2"

"Is everything fine?" Audrey asks with a worried face.

"Yeah... It's Ryan. He texted me. He won't have dinner and is going out tonight. I'm gonna invite Emma and Rose"

"OK, girl. Gotta go. Gonna dinner out with Matt." Audrey smiled when she said his name. She's totally in love

"Bye, love you!"

"Love you too!" Then she hung up with a beautiful smile. My sister is happy.

"You had to see him, Ella! He was tan, fit and very tall, wasn't he Rose?" 

"Oh, yes definitely. But the blonde one was as well, Emma!" 

After the dinner we decided to watch TV and talk a little about what has been happening. 

"Yeah, they were both hot." Rose says biting her bottom lip ending with our laughs.

"Are you both falling or it's just my imagination?" I looked at both. Rose was getting red and was looking down while Emma was denying it.

"And how are things going between you and John?"

"I really don't know, Rose. He has been very distant. Feels like things are colder..." I stopped smiling. 

Rose and Emma hugged me tight. I felt one tear about falling down my cheek. I didn't want cry. Not at that moment. So I held it. 

"Oh honey... Have you talked to him about that?" Rose questioned me holding my hand.

"Yes, I have... He told me that it was just my impression... He's very focus on the studies. I am as well but unlike he, I want things to work out but I feel that he doesn't..." 

"Beautiful, you know that no matter what, we are here for you, right?" Emma fixed her hazel eyes on mine.

"I love you girls! Tell me! What would I do without you? 

"Nothing!" They hugged me even tighter almost throwing me down.

I woke up with a light upon my face coming from the curtain in my bedroom. I smiled remembering last night with the girls. I got up of the bed. It was only half past eight in the morning. It was Saturday and I was awake. Going to the kitchen, I saw a head in the sofa. I'm freaking out. Picking a heavy box I realize that I recognize the male body with blonde hair. 

"Hey" The man says with a husky voice "What?! Ella?! Were you trying to kill your brother?! 

"Oh it's you Ryan!" I said relieved "I thought it's was a thief or sort of..."

"Gosh, my head is gonna blow up!" My twin said putting his hand on the forehead

"Hungover time, darling!" I said smiling sarcastically "Painkiller?"

"Would be great..." He smiled. 

I walked to the bathroom, opened the cabinet and took off the box of analgesics. My brother finally got up of the couch and we went to the kitchen.

"So what time did you arrive home?" I asked.

"Not very late. Maybe 2am. I can't exactly remember..." He said still confused. He must drank a little bit too much. Ryan is typing on his phone. "The last post on Instagram was at 1am... and Mike posted a pic of us drinking."

"Yeah, I'm seeing. And what about girls?" I asked with a daring expression, fixing my eyes on his.

"Some are crazy. Some of them were making out. I can remember..."

"Did you fall for someone?" 

"You know me, sis. I never fall." 

"I don't believe" I said giving him a disbelief expression
