~Chapter 8~

A/N: Hey guys, follow me on twitter? @letmebeurstar_

I'd love to hear from you (:  

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Michael disappeared.

How could no one have noticed him quietly slip out of the living room?  

Oh, right. I remember. Everyone was fighting over what DVD to watch. Teenage boys acting like five year olds.

Hannah and I sat back on the lounges watching as Luke, Calum and Ashton fought over Happy feet or Shrek.

"No, come on! Shrek is funnier!"  

Calum argued, holding the DVD up.

"But THERE'S PENGUINS!"  

Luke protested, shoving the Happy Feet DVD in Calum's face.

Ashton tried to step in and sort it all out.  

"GUYS LETS JUST ASK MICHAEL. Michael?"

That's when we realised that Michael had gone missing.  

We split up, searching the house.

I must admit, my house is pretty big. Way too big for just a brother, sister and housekeeper to live in. I'm sure we'd be better off in a three bedroom, one bathroom home, not this mansion of a place. Four bathrooms? We used one, two when we had guests. Six bedrooms? Three, four when dad was home.

So yeah, we split up. There were plenty of rooms to search.

I walked upstairs, deciding to check the bedrooms.  

I could hear cheers and shooting noises coming from my brother Daniel's bedroom, cheers that didn't sound like his..

I opened the door to find Michael and my brother deep in a Call of Duty battle. Sighing, I actually wondered how it was possible Daniel even met Michael. He practically lives in his room, he wouldn't have come downstairs anytime after dinner..Was Michael snooping?

"Hey! Michael! Everyone's been looking for you. Um, Shrek or Happy Feet?"  

I questioned, standing in the open doorway.

The boys backs were to me, and Michael didn't even take his eyes off the game as he replied.  

"Umm.. Shrek! But don't count my vote, Dan and I are playing COD! I'll stay up here if that's alright with him..?"

"Yeah mate, of course!"  

Daniel replied happily.

Oh dear god. My brother was bonding with Michael.

I closed the door and made my way back downstairs to the living room, calling out "Found him guys don't worry!" As I walked.

Everyone entered the living room, expecting to see Michael sitting, ready to watch a movie.

"Uh he's upstairs playing COD with Daniel." I explained, "Oh but he voted Shrek so I guess Shrek wins." I said as I put the DVD in the player.

"But he's not even watching! That's not fair!" Luke argued.

"Oh shut up Luke, just watch the damn movie." Ashton sighed as the it started playing.

Calum stretched out on one lounge, taking the whole thing to himself. Ashton and Hannah took the floor, leaning up against the lounge Calum was on. That left Luke and I, who were awkwardly seated on the other lounge, together.

"I just wanted to see the penguins." Luke huffed, looking at me with his bottom lip out.

I giggled, poking him in the side a few times.  

"Oh Luke, you make me laugh..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As the credits rolled up the screen I glanced first at the clock, 10:23pm, and then around the room. Calum was out like a log, Hannah asleep on Ashton, who looked like he was about to fall asleep any second, and then there was Luke, who was asleep too. Through the movie he seemed to get closer and closer to me, until he fell asleep and landed on my shoulder.

I was fairly sure my friends were supposed to be home, but they all looked so peaceful...

I moved ever so slowly, until Luke was off my shoulder and lying flat on the Lounge. Tiptoeing out of the room, up the stairs and toward Daniels room, I realised the house wasn't completely silent.

Michael and Daniel were still at it. Uuughhh.  

I knocked and slowly opened the door.

"Michael, um everyone's asleep.. Are they supposed to be at home?"  

I asked rather loudly. Michael suddenly dropped the game controller, looking at his phone.

"SHIT! It's 10:30, the boys and I have an 11pm curfew! And Hannah, I don't know, ask Ashton. They need to get home though. Sorry Dan, we'll have to continue this another time. Nice to meet you though!"  

Michael shook Daniels hand, before practically flying out of the room.  

I closed the door and followed him.  

Now all that was left was to wake up the sleeping people.

"Erm.. Luke?.. Luke.. Wake up.."  

I whispered, nudging Luke.  

Michael looked at me as if to say 'you're doing it wrong.', before yelling  

"EVERYONE WAKE UP ITS TIME TO GO HOME!"

"DAMMIT MICHAEL, SHOOSH."  

I hissed, watching as Michael realised he'd probably woken up Molly.

He'd also woken up the others in the living room, which was good.  

They all nearly jumped out of their skins, before sitting up, groaning, yawning and rubbing their eyes.

Luke's hair was messed up from lying on my shoulder, which was really cute.. Wait what? I didn't say that.

"Everyone in the car now I'm driving you all home." Michael announced.

"Wait a minute I'll walk Hannah home first, she only lives across the road Mike."  

Ashton said, grabbing Hannah by the hand and walking toward the front door. Hannah only managed a "bye" and a quick wave before she was out the door and half way across the street.

Man, they really were serious about their curfew. Even on a Saturday night.

Ashton quickly returned, and we all hugged goodbye outside, Luke giving me a kiss on the cheek before quickly jumping in the car. Michael waved then sped away, and that was that. They'd all be home by 11pm for sure.

I changed into some comfortable Pyjamas, and then slipped into bed, the day running through my mind.

I met boys from a FAMOUS band, they played a private gig for ME,One of the members practically went to KISS me, they came to my HOUSE, we watched a movie TOGETHER, one of the members bonded with my BROTHER and Mol absolutely LOVES them all, as well as Hannah.

Now we're friends and I'm definite we'll be seeing more of each other soon, and all of this happened because Hannah moved in across the road and changed my life forever.

Wow.

Eventually my mind stopped buzzing and I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, not dreaming about anything because frankly, nothing I could dream about would be better than the reality I just lived.
