Back Together or Lost Forever?

Home at Last

------- Serenity's POV ------------------

I stumbled over to the baggage claim, as Shirley urged me on. I don't understand how she stayed up nine hours, and was still awake. IT'S LITERALLY TWO A.M. How is she not tired??

I didn't even have to get the bags. Shirley knew that jet lag was getting to me. She quickly grabbed the bags and said, "Come on! Lets go meet Max outside!"

"Okay" I said slowly, dragging onto each word. I walked out the doors, and Shirley was greeted by a big hug, and a kiss, which I commented about saying, "Geez find a room"

Shirley laughed, and Max loaded the car. After making sure Shirley was safely in, he looked back and said, "Thank you for texting me about Shir earlier. I don't think she would have told me."

"Of course" I said "You can thank me by taking me home now sir"

He laughed, "At your service ma'am. I can't disobey one of the famous twins who are bringing a famous band back."

I closed the car door, and looked over at Shirley. Wow she was actually asleep. She looked really pretty with her messy bun falling over her face, and Max took notice. "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran came on, and I softly sang along. I wanted to pull out my guitar, but didn't not wanting to wake Shirley.

"Go ahead and play it, I know you want to. "

"No no." Serenity replied, "You should sleep."

"And miss singing along with you and Max in the car?" I laughed, "Not a chance!"

------------------ Max's POV ---------------

I watched Shirley's eyes as she sang. They drifted towards me, and she smiled. I felt like I was dying. Her smiled killed me everytime I saw her. She was so incredible. The way her voiced ranged, and exploded with emotion, was amazing. She listened to the way her sister played, and followed along. It was like the shared a secret, that only they would ever know. Like a secret formula.

 It reminded me of my sister. When she was alive, we would always do school work together. She loved science, and I loved math. We dreamed that one day, together, we could do anything. It broke my heart, the day she died, I found her diary. After figuring out where she kept the key (It was in a genius spot). After reading it, I figured out she had actually created many awesome ideas, that she was going to have me fix with math.

Shirley noticed me deep in thought, and her voice trailed off. 

"Sorry Shir. Got a bit carried away. Want me to turn on a new song?"

"How about Stitches?" Serenity piped up, sticking her tongue out at Shirley.

"Sorry, I asked the pretty lady in the corner there" I said grinning.

Shirley laughed. Even her laugh was amazing! "Let's do Stitches love"

"Ooooo somebodies turning British! Gosh, am I going to turn into cookie monster after spending time with Niall?" Serenity said.

We all laughed. It was true though. I'm sure Serenity is going to become a cookie monster or a cookie deliver.
