"We'll never be as young as we are now. It's time to leave this old black and white town. Let's seize the day, Let's run away. Don't let the colors fade to grey. We'll never be as young as we are now. As young as we are now." Ashton finished with a smile. What do you think??
"I love it!!!! So how about I'll write the verses, and we can write the bridge together?" I say with excitement. I get such a rush when my creative juices start flowing. "Well we have a week left on our project so I will work on it when we get home today." I say smiling.
I'm on my way out of class, and break away from Ashton. I'm on my way to study in the library, but suddenly shoved against a locker. Who else would it be? Derek of course. "Who do you think you are talking to me the way you've been talking to me??" He pulls all the books out of my hands and throws them across the hallway. He puts his arms on both sides of the wall behind me. "I will never have a girl talk to me like that ever again!!!" I close my eyes as I see him raise his fist coming close to my face. Right as I expect impact my eyes are shot open by the sound of someone tackling Derek to to ground. I look to see my newly found older brother beating my bully to a bloody pulp.
"Michael!! Stop!! He's not worth it!" I scream ripping Michael off Derek. I see his eyes full of anger as he looks me in the eyes. "No one talks to you like that. I can't even believe you would let someone talk to you like that!" Derek is laying on the ground blood coming from every part of his face. Michael sees him getting up out of the corner of his eye. "You better stay away from my sister! Don't think I won't come up here again!" Derek quickly leaves.
I look at Michael grabbing his shoulders, and pull him in for a very thankful hug. "What are you even doing here Michael?" I say in the side of his neck as I'm hugging him. "I was bringing you your lunch you forgot it on the table at home." He pulls away from the hug and pulls out a brown paper bag with a note on it reading. "Love you sis!" In scribbly boy chicken scratch. As he holds the bag out I notice his hand is bleeding very badly, and it's now gotten all over his shirt. "Michael...." I say grabbing his hand. "Can you take me home?" I ask him. He nods wrapping his arm around my shoulder walking me out of the school.
We arrive home, and I notice his blood fist has gotten all over his white v neck he had on. "I'm gunna get you another shirt. Take that one off and I'll try to get the stain out." I say. He obeys and begins to take his shirt off. I walk back to where Michaels room is 2 doors up from mine to gran a fresh shirt for him.I hear some chatter in Luke's room. Of course being the person I am I press my ear against the door. "Calum I can't do this! That's Michaels sister. Isn't that against bro code or something???" I hear Luke almost yelling. They probably don't know I'm home. "Dude you will never know if she likes you if you don't do something about it!!!" I hear Calum telling him. I quickly pull away from the door, and walk towards Michaels room.
In my mind I am jumping up, and down knowing that the boy I like likes me back. But he doesn't know I like him....so should I tell him I like him? I wish I had a girl to talk to about this dilemma. Well I'm gunna talk to Michael about this. I walk back to the kitchen as Michael sits on the counter with his hand wrapped up. I clean his deep wounds, and wrap a bandage around it. "Michael can I talk to you about something?" I say looking at him seriously. "Anything. What is it?" I look down and take a deep breath in.
"Well you know I told you how I liked Luke. Well I think he wants to tell me he likes me back. I don't know what to do or how to tell him I like him. I just wish he'd make a move or something you know?? He can't like me that much if he doesn't even have the guts to say it, am I right?" I stop finally letting Michael say what he wants to say. He let's out a sigh. "Girls are complicated." He giggles. Grabbing my hand, he looks me in the eye with his loving brother instincts. "Luke would be lucky to have you Emily. You guys have spent some time together, and have gotten to know eachother. Just do what feels right."
