Chapter 1: The Beginning of Everything

*Rachel's P.O.V.*

I can't believe Michael... He gets to do whatever he wants. I may be a year younger, but shouldn't we be treated equally? I can't believe he gets to be in a band and it's not one of those bands that plays all that classical shit. No, it's a fucking band. If I asked mum, it'd be a completely different outcome. Like come on. That's not fair. He gets to take guitar lessons and what do I get? I get fucking piano lessons. It's not fair. He's having his stupid band over for practice today... I never get to have my friends over. I have to study all the fucking time. Yeah. Fuck that shit. I was sitting in my room when the door bell rung through the house.

"Rach?" Michael shouted.

"What?"

"Can you get the door?"

"Why? It's probably your friends."

"Well, I'm older. Do what I say."

"You're one year older than I am."

"I know. I just didn't have a good reason..."

"Michael. Just get off your lazy arse and answer the damn door!"

"Please?"

"C'mon Michael..."

"I'll let you play my guitar for a while during band practice."

"Fine..."

"Thanks! I love you."

"Yeah yeah. I thought you were punk rock."

"I am. I just do whatever I want."

I laughed and got up from my desk. I walked down the stairs and opened the door. A blonde boy appeared in front of me. He had fringe similar to Michael's, but Michael's was longer.

"Uh, I think I might have the wrong house," the boy said.

"You're probably looking for my lazy brother, Michael. I'm Rachel, but you can call me Rach."

"Yeah. I'm Luke. I'm in his band."

"Okay. Well, come on in I guess."

Luke walked in and took a seat on the couch.

"Michael!" I yelled up the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Get your arse down here. Luke is here."

"Give me a minute."

"Michael. Hurry up! Get down here now."

"I'm punk rock. I'll do whatever I want."

"Are you shitting me, Michael?!"

"Just entertain Luke for a minute."

I let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry about my brother..." I said to Luke.

"It's alright."

"Do you need or want anything?"

"I'm good."

"Alright.

Then the door bell rung through the house. I walked to the door again. I opened it and it revealed another blonde haired boy.

"Erm, hi. I'm Ashton, Ash for short. Is this Michael's house?" the boy asked.

"Yeah. I'm his sister, Rachel, but you can call me Rach. C'mon in."

"Thanks."

He took a seat on the couch next to Luke. Seconds later, the door bell rung again. When I opened the door, a boy with dark brown hair appeared in front of me.
