Adelaine's POV

"You're going to Gemma's, Hun?" My mom asked me as I met her in the kitchen. "In a couple of minutes, why?" I asked, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge.

"Just asking." She shrugged. I nodded and quickly walked back to the stair case. I walk into my room and grab my phone off the nightstand. I quickly unlock it and send Gemma a text.

"I'll be there in two."

Gemma and her mom lived next door. I guess you could include Harry if you wish.

I've tried reasoning with myself that it's okay that the Styles family lives next door. I hated it when Harry used to be next door. We could always hear his heavy metal music. He did it on purpose. Every single night.

My thoughts were interrupted by a buzz.

'Kay! Xx'

I tuck my phone into my back pocket and head outside. As I walk across my freshly cut grass to Gemma's, I am glad that I don't see Harry's car in the drive way. I knew he would be home soon until his Where We Are tour starts. Lucky me.

Gemma always leaves the door unlocked for me, so I just walk in like I always do.

"Gem! I'm here!'' I shout and removed my Converse. Anne never minds. She's like my second mom.

"She's in her room Addy!" Anne shouted from the kitchen. Everyone in their family called me 'Addy'.

"Thanks!" I call and throw my Converse beside the front door. I quickly jogged up the stairs, missing the fourth one as always.

"Gem! Girl, where are you?" I walked down the hallway to her room. "Gemma, I was calling you -" I immediately stopped when I saw her and Harry talking.

"What is he doing here?" I asked rudely. "Adelaine, he's my brother." Gemma warned. I could tell she was extremely tired of Harry and I bickering. "Well, we have a video to shoot tonight and unless you're going to help us, I suggest you leave me alone today." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.

"Adelaine, he's just visiting." Gemma stood up. "There will be tons of fans outside, Gem. How are we ever going to live a regular life with him around?" I asked. "Please, Adelaine, we get the same attention as he does." I guess Gemma caught me as I tried to change her mind about her brother.

"Whatever. Call me when he leaves. Bye Gem, love you." I smiled and walked out of her room.

I jogged down the stairs with my hands to my side. I quickly put my Converse back on, and as I did, I heard footsteps rushing down the stairs. I figured it was Gemma. "Gem, I already told you -" I was interrupted by someone pushing me against the front door.

Harry.

"Get off of me you jerk!" I shouted. "Shut the hell up." He covered my mouth and forced me outside.

"What the hell is your problem?!" I push him off of me. Surprisingly, I had enough force to do it. "You're my damn problem! I can't even visit my mom and sister without you complaining! What's next? I can't use the restroom without your permission?!" He shouts.

"I'm sorry you feel that way." I didn't mean the apology. He just shook his head.

"You know, I'm not afraid of you." I tease. He becomes angered and grabs my arm roughly. He burned my skin and I rubbed it. Sure enough I saw the dead skin peeling off my arm.
