Sister Squad

♤•1:Porformance•♤

I laughed at Abby-Dawn as she squeezed her water bottle to hard and it splashed all over herself. My phone wrang casing me to jump slightly causing Abby-Dawn and everyone else to laugh harder. It was my grandpa's lawyer accountant person. I answered. " Hello?" I answer.

" Avery, I'm going to tell you something important. And it might come as both a shock and a sadness." Beverly informed. My smile dropped and my head began to swim with worrys and posibilitys.

" What is it?" I warily question. I could hear that she was crying on the other end.

" William just passed away in his bedroom not even an hour ago." She informed finally breaking down into sobs. My grandpa and Beverly weren't just business partners or what ever. Beverly was apart of the family in a way. She hung up without me even speaking. I dropped my phone and just stood there in shock and pain.

" You look sister shocked." James stated, everyone still laughing. My lip began to quiver and I barely formed any words.

" Now is not the time." My voice cracks and my eyes began to flood. I turn and collapsed onto Ryan, unable to stand. He caught me and held me as I cried, us falling into the floor.

" What's wrong?" Abby asked, concerned. I couldn't make the words leave my mouth, so I just sobbed in Ryan's shirt. He rubbed my back soothingly as he tried to calm me.

" Grandpa is... he died not even thirty minutes ago." I whisper, gripping Ryan's biceps, continuing to cry. She turned and hugged James, who stood behind her, trying to not cry. After a few minutes she stopped hugging James and ran to me, Ryan letting me hug Abby instead. She fell on her knees between my legs and hugged me. And there we sat, crying messes on the floor.

" What about the concert?" Emma asked, chewing at her nails and breaking the silence.

" We have to reschedule." Ryan states with his hands in his pockets. I shook my head, still holding my sister.

" No, my grandpa would want me to still do the show. I mean, it's my first real show in a long time." I state, standing. " I know what song." I say, rushing to the piano in the corner of the room. I open the seat and pull out the lyrics. I knew the song by heart, but I'm not sure about Ryan.

" What?" Ryan asked, following me.

" Tomorrow." I whisper, whipping my tears. With Christmas in a few days, I mean. Ryan, Abby, and I were going to fly out to see him and Ryan's family.

" The song you were working on? The one you started when grandpa fell ill?" Abby asked, still on the floor in tears. I nod handing Ryan the paper. He started to scan the paper.

" Sadness doesn't look good on you, sister." James says as he hugs me. I manage to laugh a little.  We pull away and he wipes my cheeks. I smile and little and take a deep breath.

" You should lie down." Abby says, standing.
" You have a show in a few hours." She adds. I nod, but hold my hand out for her. She takes it and we go to the couch and lay there together, holding each other as our bodys shake with sobs. We eventually fell asleep. There was a hand on my shoulder causing me to wake up.

" Ten minutes til the show." Emma stated. I untangled myself from my sister and left her to sleep. My manager, Chad, was standing at the door with the rest of my band. I straighten my shirt and pants, and unbutton my flannel. I make my way to the guys and stand next to Ryan.

" Ryan, Avery, stay back." Chad ordered as he and the other guys left to set up the stage.

" Ryan, warm up with me." I beg. We face each other and I grab his wrists.

" Ba ba be ba." We sing on repeat. Emma doesn't stand to far away with her camera filming. His fingers move and touch my jaw, but he stops and backs away. He looks at Emma and places a hand on his chest. James and the twins have stopped to watch. I move closer and wrap my arms around his neck, unable to stop myself.

" What the holy fuck." I hear Ethan whisper as I move my face closer to his neck. I continue to sing until I slowly start to stop and lick his neck. Once I do I back up, letting go of him. I turn to Emma aswell and laugh. Ryan whips my saliva off his neck just as Chad comes back in.

" Dayum." James drags out. Grayson is hunched over laughing his ass of, Emma talking to the camera about what just happened, and Ethan telling James he told him so.

" Let's go, kids." Chad ushers us out of the room at the venue and onto stage. My smile drops when I remember what happened earlier. I probably look like shit. I didn't get my shower, so my hairs greasy. But in all honesty it always is. I try to take deep breaths and be thankful for the laugh I had. Chad hands me my guitar and I walk onto the stage and sit on the stool at the front. The audience erupts into cheers and screams.

" I just want to say that this show not only goes out to Shriners but also to my grandpa who passed away today." My voice cracks at the end. I look to the side and try to recopose myself.

" You got this sister!" James yells from the side of the stage we came from that the audience can't see. James is smiling and holding a thumbs up aswell as the twins, Emma filming and smiling in reassurance. I take a deep breath and began to play my guitar simultaneously as Ryan.

" And I want to believe you, When you tell me that it'll be okay, Yeah, I try to believe you, But I don't." I start. " When you say that it's gonna be, It always turns out to be a different way, I try to believe you, Not today, today, today, today, today." I continue, trying my best not to cry.

" I don't know how I'll feel, Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I don't know what to say, Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, Is a different day, Tomorrow." Ryan joins with me.

" It's always been up to you, It's turning around, It's up to me, I'm gonna do what I have to do, Just don't." I continue solo. I take a deep breath. " Give me a little time, Leave me alone a little while, Maybe it's not too late, Not today, today, today, today, today." I add.

" I don't know how I'll feel, Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, I don't know what to say, Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, Is a different day." Ryan and I continue.

" Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, and I know, I'm not ready, Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow, Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, I'm not ready, Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah, maybe tomorrow, And I want to believe you, When you tell me that it'll be okay, Yeah I try to believe you, Not today, today, today, today, today." I add looking down.

" Tomorrow it may change, Tomorrow it may change, Tomorrow it may change, Tomorrow it may change." We finish. The venue erupted in cheers right after we finished.

" I would like to thank all of you for coming out tonight and helping me raise money for the kids at Shriners. I also just want to bring out my friends who helped get us to the goal we had for tonight. Emma Chamberlain, Grayson and Ethan Dolan, and James Charles." I clap. The people in the audience, and my band follow. My friends come out and I hug each of them.

" That concludes our show for the night. Avery is going to give a 1 million dollar check to Shriners. So check out her youtube channel for that. But everybody have a wonderful night." Chad ends.
