Living Under A Paper Moon (All Time Low Fanfic)

Chapter 13

"So, the jobs are going good? Ye like it there?" said my dad, his Irish accent was so weird to hear! I hadn't seen him in so long, I'd missed him.

"Yeah they're going awesome Dad! Even made friends at my work." I smiled into the camera. Fuck Skype probably was the best invention ever.

"Mines going great too!" Hannah added "No friends there though, they're all old. I share Sophie's though!". My dad laughed. It mad me sad to hear it because all it did was make me want to go home.

"Well girls, as much as I want ye back here with me, I'm so happy ye're enjoying it! Listen now, I've sent ye some more money for furniture and stuff you both may need. It should get there any day now." he said. "

Dad! No! There's no need to keep doing that, you don't have to send us anything!" I shouted at my laptop, I must have looked insane.

"We're fine really, use your money to buy something nice for yourself, you've always wanted an Audi!" Hannah added to what I had said.  My dad laughed again.

"No, no. I want the money to go towards my two girls. You deserve it for already settling in so well! Unless ye're rockstars pay for everything now?" he winked. I saw in the little box where our faces were that both of us were blushing and giggling.

"Okay girls, I have to go get ready for work now but we'll organise something soon, okay? I love you both and stay safe, especially with your rockstars!" he winked. All of us simultaneously burst out laughing.

"Bye Daddy! Love you loads." I said, I felt really bad saying goodbye. Sometimes I wish  I didn't have to.

"Bye Dad, love you too! Make sure to text me when you find out whats wrong with Buster." Hannah smiled. She really did treat my family like her own. She was right to. Even our dog. My dad waved and he turned off his Skype. Hannah stood up and walked away.

Hannah locked herself in her room all day. I didn't see her for hours. She didn't want food,  to talk, to watch TV. She didn't want anything. After trying several times to talk to her, I gave up. I knew her and Brendon weren't having problems, she was talking to him on the phone minutes before we were talking to my dad. I tried to think what else it could be but nothing came to mind and decided she had cramps. I hoped she'd be okay for the "Girls Night" tonight. I decided to clean the apartment and after the kitchen, I remembered I was a lazy fucker and sat down and flicked through channels. There was a knock at the door. Brendon stood there smiling looking as gorgeous as ever. I fangirled every time inside, I didn't tell Hannah and honestly I'd be jealous if I didn't have my own boyfriend.

"Hey Sophie!" he smiled and I stepped back and let him in. "I brought up your mail, the mailman was downstairs  so I brought it up!" he said as cheery as always.

"You want something to drink?" I smiled and took the mail. My new issue of Kerrang! had been delivered. Alex was on the front. I ripped off the packaging and flicked to the page with his interview. I scanned down through the questions they'd asked him. One really stood out at me. 

"So Gaskarth, any love life?"  it said. I remembered when he did this interview, it seemed like so long ago, before the problems even started. The answer brought tears to my eyes but I held them back.

"Funny you ask that question. I'm really after falling for a girl lately. Hardest I fell in a long time but honestly, I love her more than anything. She's beautiful, amazing and honestly she's the best thing that's happened to me in a long long time." Alex had said that. Alex had said that about me. If the follow up question didn't make it obvious I wouldn't believe it.

"Sounds like you really love this girl. Does she have a name?"

"Yeah, Sophie. Beautiful right?"

At this point I'd realised Brendon was looking over my shoulder at the magazine.

"That's so nice!" Brendon smiled "How are ye two doing?". At that very moment Hannah came out of her room, her eyes red from crying.

"What's wrong?" the two of us rushed over to her. She started crying again and collapsed into my arms.

"I was feeling homesick and I missed Dad and Sophie I just felt like I need to go home. I love it here but I miss everything so much! Don't you miss Dad? Ciara? Adam? All our friends? Not saying that I don't love it here, I do. She looked over at Brendon and smiled slightly and held his hand. He smiled back at her. They were too cute together. Then I saw her wrist. I fainted.

Hannah's head lay on my shoulder and I kept one arm around her, comforting her. Sarah was lying down on the couch next to me on top of a pile of cushions looking like she'd fall asleep any second. Celine was spread out on the white fluffy rug on the floor. All of us were fixated on the film.

"Okay, this film sucks." Celine jumped up off the floor.

"Good someone agrees with me!" Hannah said.

"What the fuck is it over? Did Channing Tatum die?" Sarah woke up out of her trance. We all laughed at her, she looked genuinely confused.

"Dreaming about what her and Pete are going to do tomorrow of course!" Hannah grinned.

"Shut up bitch!" Sarah threw a pillow towards Hannah and she caught it before it hit her.

"How are you and Pete doing? We saw Hannah and Brendon sucking the faces off each other, so obviously that's going well!" Celine asked and Hannah hid her face behind the pillow as we all giggled.

"We're doing pretty good to be honest. I met his kid, Bronx the other day. Fuck that child himself makes me want to stay with Pete. Maybe we could make him a brother!" she shrugged and smiled. We all burst out laughing. Hannah who was still a bit poorly tried her best. It had been years since she did what she did today. I thought she was better but obviously I needed to keep a closer eye on her. This is what she needed. A girls night. Just watching a pointless romcom and just chat about stuff that we needed to get out. I looked at her and smiled and hugged her gently. She mirrored my smile and rested her head on my shoulder again.

"Celine?" I asked contributing to the conversation.

"Oh my God, Zack is amazing!" she smiled daydreaming suddenly.

"In bed." Hannah coughed. We all laughed again. We were so immature.

"No he's an awesome guy. I've seen him a few times since." she smiled. My phone vibrated in my pocket. "Hey baby, you wanna go out tomorrow night? Hope you're enjoying you're night. You would not like to know what I'm imagining ye doing ;) Love you loads xxx" I smiled to myself and replied a simple "Yeah that'd be awesome! xx"  

"Ooooooh look who got a text from loverboy!" Sarah smiled.

"What the fuck? Who said it was from him?" I said, but they could see by my smile it was.

"I can see it in your eyes, it's love bitch! I'm so glad your happy!" Sarah smiled kindly at me.

"Yeah me too." I smiled, for once in a while, it was real.
