Count Me In

Blaze

After we leave Starbucks, Winter and I want to go shopping. So, we walk back to the house. Luke and Michael said they had a meeting for the band thing and we said okay.

When we get home, Ashton is on the couch kissing. Let me rephrase that, they were eating each other.

"Ew! Gross!" Winter and I say at the same time. They pull apart. The girl, who had dyed hair and look beautiful behind believe, looks to be Ash's age.

"Winter! Blaze! I didn't know you'd be back so soon." Ash says, clearly shocked we're back.

"Um, maybe I should leave." The girl says.

"No! May, stay." Ash exclaims. "Girls, this is May. May, these are my cousins, Winter and Blaze."

"Who's who?" She asked.

"I'm Winter."

"Blaze." I say waving.

"I'm May." She states.

"May's my girlfriend." Ash says.

"Oh cool." Winter says.

"So what are you girls doing home so early?"

"Oh, Luke and Michael said they had a meeting to go to and Winter and I were going to go shopping." I explain.

"Do you mind if I come? I mean, show you guys the best shopping places?" May offers. Winter and I look at each other.

"Sure." We say in unison, smiling at May.

"Great. Come on." She says. She says bye to Ashton we follow her outside. "Sorry about that. I didn't know you guys would be home."

"It's fine." Winter says. "It was just a little awkward."

"Yeah." She says.

"Hey Blaze. Do you and Luke want to come with Michael and I to go get a tattoo and piercing?"

"Whoa, your getting a tattoo?"

"Michael and I are going to get matching tattoos. And I want to get a matching tattoo with you. Then you and Luke can get a matching one."

"I'll have to ask Luke but I'll go with you."

"Really!" She says excitedly.

"Yeah. Why not? I have always wanted to get a lip piercing."

"Yay!" Winter screams and hugs me. I laugh and so does May.

"So, you girls are from London?"

"Yeah. We are staying for the summer with Ash." I explain.

"Cool. Ash said you had a brother?"

"Yeah. Dylan. He's become friends with the neighbor boy and is over there a lot." Winter says.

"Oh cool. How do you like it here?"

"It's hot." We say in unison.

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. I have been living here for my whole life and I still can't stand the summers. Too hot for me. I usually go to America for summer. It's nice there." May explains.

As we walk, we talk about each other and May tells us about herself. She's 20. She plays drums. Her and Ash have been dating for 2 years on the down low because of the band and fans. She likes to dye her hair. If you make her mad, watch out because she will bitch slap you. Her words, not mine. She's also not the apologizing type. I like her.

When we get to the mall, we go to Rue 21 and Aeropostale. I don't get anything in Rue 21 but I get a few pairs on jeans in Aeropostale. Then we go to this jewelry place. Winter and I have always liked looking at these places. We look at the necklaces. Winter started to hit me in the arm and I look at her. She was pointing at a pair of necklaces; a light pink one and a black one. They looked like little crystals.

"We need those." She whispered. A guy came over and his name tag said David.

"Hi, is there anything I can get for you girls?" He said, smiling at us.

"Yeah, can we get those necklaces." Winter said. He got them out and we looked at them. "I'll buy you one and you buy me one?"

"Yes." I say, nodding. We pay for them and put them on each other. I got the black one and Winter got the pink one.

"Thank you sis." I say.

"You too." We hug then take a picture together. We both end up posting it on our Instagram's.

After a little while, about an hour, we head back to the house. May has been really nice to us and she is probably going to be a good friend of ours.

When we get there, Michael's car is in the drive way as well as one I haven't seen before. It's black with tinted windows.

We get inside and hear laughing from the living room. Luke, Michael, Ash, a boy who looks Michael's age and Asian, then a girl with brown long hair next to him and Dylan. Luke stands up and pulls me into hug. I hug him back and he whispers something I didn't hear. Luke sits down and pulls me into his lap. Michael does the same with Winter.

"Oh, girls this is Calum and Elaine. Calum is the bassist in the band and Elaine is his girlfriend." Ash said.

"Bassist power dude!" Winter says.

"You play bass?" He questions.

"Hell yeah!"

"I like you already." Calum says. Elaine rolls her eyes at him playfully. He kisses her cheek and she blushes.

"Okay, Friday do you two wanna go with Michael and I to the tattoo parlor?" Winter asked Luke and I.

"We can get matching tattoos." I whisper in Luke's ear.

"I'm fine with going." Luke says, very excitedly.

"Okay. We can go out to dinner too. Like a double date?" Winter says.

"Sure. I want to get a lip piercing too." I say.

"Like mine?" Luke says, pouting his lip out.

"Yeah." I say.

"I'm going to get a lip and nose piercing." Winter says.

"Really?!" Michael said.

"Yep."

"You'd look hot with piercings." Michael said.

"Michael!" Winter whisper yells at him.

"What? It's true. But you already look pretty damn hot." He whispers to her. I stare at Winter and see her eye color lighten slightly. When this happens, she's thinking about something that makes her very happy.

"Speaking off dinner, let's all go out! I'm hungry!" Calum said standing up.

"Nando's!" Luke yells. We all agree then head to the famous restaurant.
