Song: The Drug In Me Is You - Falling In Reverse

I wake up and the house is quiet. I creep downstairs and see a note pinned to the fridge.

'Morning Sleepy Head!

Radio interview this morning, we had to be out early. There's chocolate chip pancakes, just heat them up.

We're doing live music too, turn on the radio and I switched it to the station.

Enjoy the food!

See you later, around 3-ish.

~ Jack x'

I smile at the note and flick the radio on. The guys are just talking and having a laugh.

"So, when's the next tour?" The guy asks.

"Uhm, Alex?" I can tell it's Zack.

"After christmas, January to February, but it's a UK tour, sorry America!"

They're going on tour?! They didn't even bother to tell me!

I have two choices now, wait for Jack to tell me, or flip my shit at him later. I'll see if he mentions it.

Is this his way of telling me? By radio?

I warm up the pancakes and sit on the high stool to eat them, listening to the interview. The usual stuff:

Who's single?

New albums?

New songs?

"So, Jack. I heard your sister has just moved in? How is life living with her?"

"Uhm, it's good. She's always there to talk to when Alex is throwing a diva fit.." He waits for Alex.

"I don't throw diva fits!"

"There it is." Jack laughs. "I love her to pieces, I can be protective of her. For those of you who don't know who she is, check my twitter, there's bound to be stuff with her in it. Or just google Ember Barakat."

"Is she your proper sister?"

"No, just a good childhood friend, but she's taken my last name for now. It's complicated." Damn right it is. I finish my pancakes and put my plate in the sink. They talk for a little while longer, but then Backseat Serenade plays.

Alex sang me this down the phone. The first phone call we had while he was away.

I turn the radio off and a tear drips down my cheek. We had it good, didn't we? But he's bad for me, right?

I'm so confused! It's not fair! I'll have to talk to him later. Sort it out. I can't live with him and be like this.

I run upstairs and put on a long forgotten black veil brides tank top, leggings and an oversized cream, knit cardigan. I'm not going anywhere, so I may as well me comfy. I brush my hair and put it up, I could do with a shower later. I brush my teeth too and the doorbell rings.

Did Jack forget his keys? He wouldn't be that stupid. Plus, it's too early for them to be back. It's only 12:30.

I run downstairs and open the door. There's a girl with blonde and pink hair stood at the door.

"Uhm, hi?" I say. She looks me up and down.

"Who are you?" She asks.

"I live here."

"Alone?"

"No, with my brother, Jack and his friend, Alex."

"Oh, you must be Ember then. You ruined it for me and Alex."
