My Big Brother

 "Willy come on! If you don't do this I will." I tell then-19 year old brother. We're standing on the side of the stage of X-Factor. 

"You? Sing? Amy you don't even sing along to the music in the car! You just lip sync." He puts his hands on his hips. I swear my brother acts like a five year old girl most of the time. 

"I do too sing! In the shower! That's why you've never heard me. Or do you listen? Because I'm actually really good." I get up in his face. He pushes me away

"No need for that. I'm doing it." And he walks on stage to chase his dream.

"And the winner of season 2 X-Factor USA is William Peirce!" My breathe gets caught in my throat as I stand off stage. I watch my brother hug Simon Cowell then the other contestant, Ally James. Then he talks to the hosts and what not. But it still doesn't register that my big brother won X-Factor. He's going to be famous. 

I'm embraced in a tight hug. "Congratulations Willy." I hug him back. 

My brother and were pretty tight, we did everything together. Only being a year apart.

After he won X-Factor Simon Cowell signed him and he's been busy. Too busy to call me. Or text me. Or even recognize my existence.

The only way I know what is going on is because of twitter. That place is like Gossip Google. He's opening with One Direction with this summer. Thanks for telling me that you're touring with my favorite band bro. I appreciate it.

"Bye honey, call me and text every day!" My mother kisses my head as she drags her suitcase out of the house. Her and my dad are going on a cruise for the whole summer. No ticket for Amy. 

I swear everyone is forgetting about me. I get up and go to the fridge. Ben&Jerry's understands me. I pull a container out and sit back down on the couch with my laptop. Tumblr Time. 

After an hour of wallowing I decided to hang out with someone. But alas I have no one! They're all away for the summer. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. I groan. This is going to be the worst summer. Ever. 

But if I kiss you,

Will your mouth read the truth?

Darling how I miss you. 

Strawberries taste how lips do. 

My phone belts out the beautiful voice of Ed Sheeran's Little Bird. I check the caller ID Willyyy(:

I remember my brother putting his name in my phone as 'Some Weird Guy Named Willy' but I eventually just changed it to Willy. I let Ed keep singing. You haven't picked up the phone in a year to call me. Why the hell should I pick up when you finally call? 

Ed finishes and a minute later there's a ding indicating I have a voice mail. I play it and place the phone to my ear. Willy's deep voice floats into my ear.

"Hey Amy, I know I've been MIA but mom told me how you'll be alone all summer. She doesn't like it. So you're coming on tour with me. Pack your bags I'll be there soon. Love you!" He hangs up and then silence. Too much of it. 

I'm going to see my brother again after a year. I'm going to spend all summer with him. 

And One Direction.
