Broken Strings

Chapter Two

"That's not how I saw it when you broke her gravy boat last christmas."

"That was scary I thought she was going to start breathing fire." Andre makes a face at me.

"I'm telling Moe that you said that!" Hayden butts in.

"Don't call her that." Both Andre and I say at the say time.

Her name's Margaret but Hayden insists on calling her Moe. A stupid nick name if you ask me.

"So you guys all packed?" Andre asks sitting down on my bed and uploading the video. I motion to the barren room around me.

"I think so." I smile. Hayden nods along with me.

"What about you? How's Sarah taking the news about you leavin?" I ask Andre.

"It's going to be weird but she's flying out half way through and is going to be finishing the tour with us." I pump my fist into the air.

Sarah is Andre's fiancé and is the coolest person in the world. She usually does my hair and make up but she has to do some exam for most of the tour.

"So when she comes my mother will stop doing my hair and make up?"

"Yes." Andre laughs as I do a happy dance around the room.

I couldn't stand to even be in the same room with my mother. Having her two inches away from my face with an eyelash curler isn't going to work out.

There is a sound of heels in the hallway and we all freeze. It could be either one of the evil witches. Our eyes are trained on my bedroom door when a head full of extensions enters my room.

"You guys are in trouble." Charlotte smirks widely.

Just wait until she gets botox and can' move that pretty little face off hers. The thought had only entered my head when my mother storms in.

"You have already uploaded?" She asks in disgust. She keeps her voice at a low tone though. It isn't lady like to shout.

"Well we had all the equipment set up so we thought we'd just go for it." Hayden explains throwing his arms over the edge of my bed. He was now looking at my mother upside down. "It was a funny video don't you think?" He finishes.

"It was immature and rude." Just as the words leave her mouth the laptop starts to beep. I look over Andre's shoulder as the comments flood the screen.

"The fans don't seem to think so." Andre smiles scrolling through them.

"Let me see." My mother sticks her hand out. Hayden sits up quickly.

"No let me read them out to you." He insists taking the laptop from Andre.

"Ovaries everywhere! "

"I knew it was true."

"Esther and Hayden are so cute I cannot wait to see them! Eep!"

"Hayden can have my babies any day." Hayden laughs at the last one and so did I.

"Even Andre got a mention look." Hayden points at the screen and shows me a comment with 'hey Andre' written on it. I recognise it as Sarah's screen name. But my mother didn't need to know that.

"See." I say to her.

Her face falls. She pulls her lips into a straight line. Charlotte is playing with her nails something she did was she was angry about something.

"They love us." I wrap my arm around Hayden's shoulder and bring him close to me.

"I mean. How could they resist." Hayden pinches my cheek.

My mother storms out of the room with Charlotte close on her heels. I'm so happy I only have to deal with one of them on tour.

Dad walked by my open door and gives us a thumbs up.

Hayden and I could tell the world that we were engaged and he wouldn't care. Once we were having fun.

"How about I treat you guys to one last McDonalds?" Andre asks.

"All we are going to eat on tour is McDonals." I point out raising an eyebrow at him.

"But this is special. This is home McDonalds." Andre bribes. I still not too eager. "I'll call them and get them to close it so you can play in the kids area." I was grabbing my shoes before he could finish. Andre laughs at me and calls the local McDonalds. We had done this so many times it was ridiculous.

"They'll have it closed in an hour." The McDonalds doesn't really mind as it gave them some endorsement that we ate there. I run out into the hallway and bang into Greg. I rub my nose and look up at the giant.

"Just who I was looking for. We are going to McDonalds." I inform him and he rolls his eyes.

"You are just a couple of five year olds aren't you?" He asks following us out.

"Yes. Yes we are."

Alot of family tension....

There might be some questions after this chapter but they will be answered in due time.
