His Sister

Chapter 25.

"Hey, guys! We're getting ready to go perform!" ashton smiles into my vlog camera, and I giggle. Michael pushes Ashton out of the way, taking the camera,

"Oh, gimme that!" He says, and I reach for it. Michael laughs and runs off, nose in the camera.

"Hey guys! It's your favorite kitten, Mikey!" He laughs again and runs into the dressing room, flying to the couch. He laughs as the couch creaks and he thumps onto it. Luke looks up from his phone and exclaims,

"Geez, Mikey! Calm down!" Calum takes a bite of his toast, replying with a mouthful,

"Yeah, save that energy for tonight." He rubs the crumbs off his fingers and checks his phone. ashton flies past me and jumps on Michael, making Michael scream in pain.

"You big turd! I was going to take over the vlog!" I giggle and sit down by Luke, seeing what he's doing on his phone. He's checking Twitter and smiling as all of the lovely encouraging comments roll in. calum clinks his plate on the coffee table in front of him and lays on the other couch, looking at me.

"come here." He pats on an open space on the couch and readjusts his snapback. His Nirvana Tee Shirt crinkles and he kicks off his Vans. I smile and leave Luke, joining Calum. He wraps me up in his arms like a burrito and rubs his cheek against my head. I giggle and steal his snapback.

"Oh, c'mon!" He says, and tries to reach for his hat. I laugh and put it on my own head, teasingly doing a boyish like pose.

"Hey, guys, I'm Calum." I say, and ashton laughs. Luke keeps staring at his phone and Mikey is still screaming and groaning. Calum rolls his eyes and scoffs,

"I don't sound like that!" I nod and then get up, pretending to play guitar,

"I'm the bassist! I'm in love with Luke because Cake is life and I really like to sleep naked!" I say, imitating Calum. He laughs and gets up, coming after me. I shrink, trying to get away from him, but he scoops me up, groaning like a monster,

"That's all true, but you don't even look like me!" I laugh and he nuzzles his nose against mine. I laugh,

"What's that supposed to mean?" He smiles that deviously handsome smile and lowly says,

"You're too cute to be me." I roll my eyes and he adds smoothly, "Now can I please have my snapback back?" I think about it for a second, then shake my head. "Oh, come on!" He says, and I jump down from his arms, racing back to the couch. He groans and sits down next to me.

"I hate you." He says, running his fingers through his hair, and Ashton (who is still on top of Michael) says,

"wow, cal, you're a great boyfriend." He giggles and Michael laughs. Calum grins and puts an arm around me,

"I didn't mean it." He said, and that's when the stage manager comes in,

"Five minutes until show time." The boys all nod and I pout my lips. I don't want them to go. I like spending time with them. And their shows take forever. I always get bored. calum looks at me,

"Oh, and I'll need my jeans back as well." I look down at my jeans. Well, Calum's jeans. I stole them earlier because he wouldn't give me his shirt. They're kind of baggy on me, but I like them. I groan,

"You're always wanting stuff."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before the show started, Luke called Maia and Ash called Ivy, making sure they were okay. They call them often when they perform, before and after every show, and it's really cute.

I stay home with them sometimes, but usually Ash likes me here with him when he performs. I help him pick out an outfit and he likes to perform in front of me. He's always performed in front of me, ever since we were little. He gets anxious whenever I'm not there, because I help him think we're little kids again, performing for our parents in our basement.

I hug them all as they plug in their ear pieces and tune their guitars. Ash flips his drumsticks and runs out on to stage, ready to rock. Luke fixes his bracelets and smiles at me before going out, and Michael plays with his water bottle as he stands behind Luke. Calum goes out last, and he turns to me before walking on to stage.

"Good luck kiss?" I laugh and he smiles, kissing me. When we disconnect, he winks,

"don't worry, I'll dedicate a song to you out there." I roll my eyes, and say,

"Oh, please, that's Luke's thing." Luke always dedicates a song to maia when they perform, usually Amnesia, and it's so sweet. Even though he dedicates it to her every time, he still gets tears in his eyes when he does. It's a very emotional song for both of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

when they finally finish, the crowd is going wild. The boys run back stage and I see they're all dripping wet. Ash's hair is curlier than usual from the moisture of sweat, and Michael is red from exhaustion. Luke is downing water and Calum is panting, wiping his forehead with his shirt.

They're up for a surprise.

"you all did amazing!" Ivy says, and Ashton lights up.

"Ivy? What are you doing here?" He says, and she giggles. Luke has already started talking to Maia, and little do they know, I invited them here back stage during their last couple of songs. Ashton opens his sweaty arms wide,

"Oh, Ivy, you know you want a hug." Ivy shakes her head, cringing at sweaty Ashton, and he chases her,

"Bring it in!"

"Ash, no! No!" She says, trying to escape the wet boy, but it's too late. He has already scooped her up, and she's becoming soaked in sweat. It's cute...I guess...

Ashton smushes his flushed face against hers as she groans, and he smiles,

"This is lovely, isn't it?"
