Disconnected

Chapter 6

Alaska's POV-

"Athena!" I shout. She doesn't come. "Ay! Goddess of Wisdom!" Still no answer... Bitch... Fine... Guess I'll have to get up...

Oh... She's talking to Ashton.

"As in I want you to be my girlfriend." Is all I hear from Ashton. I gasp, dropping my glass cup on my foot.

"God dammit!" I scream. The glass shatters. I step forward, cutting my foot.

"Oh my god! Alaska!" Athena shouts.

"Hey! Don't fucking cuss..." Ashton says. I glare at him.

"How much did you hear?"

"He wants you to be his girlfriend..." I tell her.

"Yeah... Did you know?"

"No... I'm in pain..."

"Alaska, come on honey..." My mom says, helping me to the kitchen. I sit on the counter as she looks at my foot.

-

"You did cut your foot when you stepped forward, and you need stitches. Sorry hon..."

"Great... Just great..."

"Come on... Let's go..." Athena says, helping me to the car.

-

"Just don't walk around, and you should be fine..." The doctor says after we're finished. Ashton was telling me how clumsy I am, my foot is gonna fall off, and random shit that wasn't true.

I sit in the car, my phone rings.

"Who is it?" Ashton asks.

"The manwhore." I say, facing the other way.

"Oh... Okay then. Don't answer!" Ashton says quickly.

"Don't tell me what to do." I say, getting out of the car when it pulled up.

"What?"

"Don't tell me what to do." I repeat.

"Excuse me?!"

"You make everything worst! I go on a date, come back because everything went to hell. Instead of comforting me, you give me a lecture. Why?! You're not my dad! Dad didn't want me! That's why he left!" I scream.

"He was smart to leave! He wouldn't have to deal with you... I wish you weren't my sister!"

"And I wish you weren't my brother!" I shout back. I run upstairs, slam my face in a pillow.

I scream bloody murder, sobbing. I hear drumming patterns downstairs.

"It's passed seven!" I scream. I hear a hit, and then obscenities.

"What was that about?" Athena asked.

"My brother doesn't respect my space, respect my choices, or respect my damn life!" I shout.

"Alaska... You have to involve him more in your life..."

"I try! But if I go on a date or anything he always invades my privacy!" I defend myself.

"Are you on-"

"No!" I screech.

"Sorry..."

"Athena... I just want him to leave me alone..."

"Alaska... You need to say goodbye to your brother..." Mum says, coming into my room.

"Where is he going?"

"Tour... He's leaving in ten minutes..."

"T-Tour?"

"What? Didn't you hear? He's going on tour with One Direction!" My heart sinks to my stomach.

"One Direction? Oh my god!" I scream.

"Say goodbye to the guys... They're here." My mom tells me.

-

Athena and I sprint downstairs. "Cal..." I say, I hug him tightly. He rests his head on my shoulder.

"I'll miss ya babe.." I roll my eyes.

"No you won't..." I giggle. "Kidding... I'll miss you too."

Michael hugs me, refusing to let go. I smile at him, tears falling down our faces. "I'll miss you..." We say at the same time.

Athena is talking to Luke. I look at Ashton who is crying. "I'll miss you so much Brother... Everything I said wasn't true... I'm so sorry..." I say shaking. My arms tremble, but wrap around him. "I love you..." I say. He doesn't say anything, his words caught in his throat.

"I love you too... Call me if that dickhead messes with you... Promise?"

"Oh of course..." I smile. He lets go, and I face him... Luke...

"Luke?" I say, he leans against the wall on his phone. I stand next to him. Awkwardness was in the air.

"I'm so sorry... I should've-"

"Don't be..." I say, I bury my face in his chest. He hugs me tight, my arms wrapped under his. I stand on my toes to kiss his cheek. "I'll miss you the most..." I whisper in his ear.

-

"I'll talk to you when I get the chance... I promise..." I tell the guys. They nod, waving goodbyes, and board the bus.

I get a text.

Who's gonna protect you now?
