With The Lights Out.

Chapter One

    "I know you don't want to go, but you haven't seen your mother or brother since Christmas and that's a pretty long time. Six months to be exact. And if it ends up being really bad then I'll fly you home, okay?" My dad speaks I can't believe he's making me go. I mean I'm so excited to see my brother, but what if he's changed? Or if he's just not into the same things I am? Or what he just hangs out with his friends the whole time and I get forgotten about? I have to tell my brain to shut up none of that is going to happen.
    "Thanks dad I'm sure it will be ok, what's the worst that could happen?" He smiles.
    "Now that's my little Becka." he smiles. I give him one last hug before I board my plane. I turn around and yell towards my dad dramatically,
    "Good bye California, and here I come Sydney Australia!'' My dad laughs and covers his face, I turn on my heels and walk to the boarding pass lady. She scans me in and I walk to the plane. Yay a fifteen and a half hour flight. This is gonna suck. I lift my bag up and place it in the overhead compartment. I try closing it, but I can't quite reach the little door thing. The problems of being short.
    "Need a little help?" I turn and see a boy probably about my age, shaggy hair and stubble around his mouth giving a more mature look.
    ''Yeah actually that would be great." I respond.
    "I'm Sam. I see your flying first class." I blush as he points out that I'm flying first class.
    "Becka. And yeah I'm flying first class." I put my hands over my face.
    "Me too and it looks like we sit together.'' He smiles. I smile back and take my seat at the window.
    "So what brings you to Sydney.'' I ask trying to make small talk.
    "I live there ,you?"
    "My, uh, brother lives there." He sits smiling at me. I take my ear-buds out of my purse and plug them into my phone. I pull off my sweater revealing my Nirvana crop top that I'm wearing.
    "Wow! You like Nirvana?" Sam questions.
    "Yeah there like my favourite band. Green day coming in a close secound." I say smiling.
    "Oh, I love both those bands I've been to a Green Day concert before, and a Red hot Chilli Peppers, but I can't really go to a Nirvana one because well I'm sure you know." He blushes.
    "I think Courtney Love is behind it all." I say staring at him.
    "Finally someone who agrees with me!" He says. The pilot comes on and says his lot. I don't listen to it because I've heard it at least a million times.
    Finally the lights dim, and the flight is a blur of sleeping, watching movies, listening to music, and talking to Sam.
    "We will be landing in Sydney. If this is your first time flying here welcome, and if you're returning welcome home.'' The pilot comes on, me and Sam both groan. The plane starts to descend. And after what seems like forever we land. I turn my music off and put everything I took out during the flight back into my purse.
    "You may now start unbuckling your seat belts and leaving the plane. Please remember all of you belongings. And careful when open the overhead compartment as stuff may have shifted around durning the flight." The pilot speaks and everyone starts to move. I stand and grab my stuff from my seat and the compartment above our heads. I start to leave when Sam grabs my arm,
    "Can I have your number.'' He ask I nod and we switch phones. I leave the plane in high spirits.
    I walk the the baggage claim and grab my other bag. I dial Mikey number and he picks up within two rings.
                                                  -phone call-
Mikey - Hey there sissy.
Becka- Hey are you here?
Mikey - Yep just outside.
    The phone clicks off and I walk to the front doors I see Mikey and run up to him.
    "Hey!" We both yell in unison. He picks me up off my feet and wraps me in a bear hug. We load up his car and get on the rode to his house.
    "So one of my friends is having a first night of summer party, and I know your probably really tired, but please will you come?'' I look at him and smirk.
    "Ask me in monster voice." I say staring at him. He puffs out his chest, looks at me, and in a very high pitched voice says, "Will my favourite sister Becka please come to the party." Laugh and reply,
"You still got it and yes I'll come." I smiled and punched him in the arm playfully. Mikey showed me to my room and left me to settle myself in. I didn't feel like unpacking so instead I applied makeup, did my hair so it was half up with curls, and played on my phone.
I heard footsteps coming towards my room, but it sounded like more than one person. I sat up and grabbed one of my two suit cases and started to grab out an outfit for tonight, I wanted to look like I was doing something productive.
"Beck, this is Luke. He is my best bud." I turned around to see my brother standing with another guy, who I'm not gonna lie was pretty fricken hot. He had blonde hair with a beanie and a lip piercing. I looked at them strange my brother was so proud to say Luke was his best friend.
"Hi." I waved, "Is this okay to ware to the party thing tonight?" I questioned holding up a pair or distressed jean shorts and a halestorm tank top.
"Whatever your comfortable in. We're going to play COD do you wanna play?" Mikey asked me I nodded and followed them down the hall to Mikey's room. I couldn't help,but notice how Luke walked very tense, I wonder why?
Mikey handed me a controller and I sat on his bed, Luke sat down next to me. We started playing and I beat both boys pretty much every time except for twice when Luke and Mikey allied against me. We played for about another hour and won most.
"I'm gonna go change." I stated and left the room. I got back to my room and changed then I got a call from you dad.
              -phone call-
Dad- Hey kiddo how's it going?
Becka- nothing much I'm just about to go and hang out with Mikey and some of his friends.
Dad-okay then I let you go bye.

The phone clicked off and I returned the the boys bedroom with my phone and ear buds. I watched them play until it was time to go which took like twenty minutes.
"Okay we should probably go."  Luke said. Mikey nodded in agreement. The boys got up and started walking down the hall I followed. We got to the car I sat in the back even though that's not where Mikey wanted me, but I insisted. It was about and five minute drive. When we got to the house both Mikey and Luke walked right in leaving it very awkward for ==='

me, but still I followed. They went strait to the basement where the was about six other people. 
"The party has arrived." Luke said as he walked in. They both sat down, and left me in a room full of people I don't know.
"Dude introduce us to your sister!" Someone said.
"Oh,  yah, right, Every one this is my little sister Becka, she seventeen, Beck this is Cora,  Brooke, Ashton, Gage, and Sam." He pointed to everyone as he spoke. I looked at one of the boys and immediately recognized him from the plane.
"It's Ash!" Ashton says punching Mikey in the. Arm.
"Sam?" I questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah." He said looking up. "Holy shit. Becka? I didn't know your brother is Michael" He looked back at me.
"Wait you to know each other?'' Mikey asked.
"From the plane ride here we sat together."  I explained. I sat down next to Mikey who soon left to go and make out with Cora. I was going to sit next to Sam. But he had some girl on his lap from upstairs. I looked at Luke who was looking at me.
"Do you know where the bathroom is?" I asked him. He pointed down the hall and I walked in to do my business. After finishing up I left, like a normal person and decide I would go upstairs. I found my way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. I stayed by the counter for a little bit then went back downstairs, Mikey was back and Luke had left.
"Hey, Mikey can we get going I'm pretty tired from the flight and all." I lied, I was tired, but I also just wanted to leave this party I was pretty bored. Mikey nods, says goodbye to his friends and we leave. I the car I fell asleep, but Mikey picked me up and brought me to my room.
I woke up to yelling and screaming coming from downstairs.
"In your face! I win sucker! Ha!" I walk downstairs and see Mikey with Luke, Gage, and Sam. Their eyes are all glued to Mikey as he screams about winning. I walk to the kitchen and grab a glass of water.
"Oh hey, Beck. Did we wake you." Mikey asks scratching the back of his neck. A nervous habit he has. I sit on the couch and shake my head. I notice Luke get tense as soon as I enter the room. My phone starts ringing and I see who it's from. Toby, my ex. What does he what. There must of be a unimpressed look on my face because Sam asks,
"Is everything ok?" I look at him then back at my phone.
"Yeah, I got to take this." I any and walk into the the bathroom.
-PHONE CALL-
Becka- Hello?
Toby- Hey, I need to talk to you. Your dad said your in Sydney?
Becka- Yeah, I'm visiting my brother.
Toby- Oh okay. Well I want to talk about us.
Becka- there's nothing to talk about. You cheated on me got her pregnant and chose her. I'm not letting you come back into my life! Goodbye!
I huff and sit on the toilet with the lid down. I put my hands up to my face. Someone knocks on the door. I get up and walk out to find Luke.
"Is everything okay?" I nod and walk back down the hallway. The boys are still playing video games. I turn on my heels and walk to my room. I need to go for a run. I change into a sports bra and a pair of spandex shorts. I text Mikey that I'm going for a run. I don't feel like talking to anyone right now, I just need to clear my head.
I start jogging and find that Sydney is quite is quite a small town. I run around the subdivision twice, and make it back to the house. By that time everyone has clear the house.
    "And what is this little-"
    "Stop it right now you knew she was coming the least you could do is get yourself cleaned up and welcome her here nicely!" Michael yells at her, she slumps away to her room I assume. I look at him with a scared look at Mikey. He scratches the back of his neck. He walks away. What the heck was that? I decided not to ask him about it. I walk to the fridge, and to my surprise it empty.
    "Hey, Mikey do you want to come to get food?" I ask.
    "Yeah, I know this really good diner!" I nod and we walk out the door. In silence we walk to the diner.
