Unexpected

22.

Ashton

I wanted to ran after her. Tell her that i loved her and her mom. But i didn't do anything, i stayed seated in my chair as i repeated her words to myself.

Mabye she was right, mabye it was all too much for me. It was hard to love someone who doesn't want to live.

Michael entered the room. "You ready to go home?" He asked cheerful.

I rubbed my eyes. "Yeah."

"What's on your mind?" He aksed as he sat down on the chair infront of my desk.

"Becky came in ealier and she said some...uhm things."

"What did she say?"

"She said that i should think about what I'm doing with Diana and stuff. That i didn't need to stay with her if I didn't want to. She basically said that she wouldn't need me." I  told him truthfully.

"That's a lot to take in."

I nodded. We both couldn't really find the right words to say.

"Why don't we go the bar this weekend? You know, forgot everything for a second and just have some fun." He offered with a smile on his face.

"I don't know-"

"We're going." He said determined.

I didn't bother arguing with him because i knew that he was right. I needed something to take my mind off of everything.

I packed up my stuff and stood up. "Let's go home."

When we got home Diana was yelling at Becky. I sighed and closed the door behind me, i didn't argree with the way Diana was raising her kids.

Becky was standing infront of Diana. She looked unfazed by her yelling mother.

"What's going on?" I aksed the both of them.

"She went out today without my permission." Diana siad angry.

I was too tired to deal with this.

"Okay."

Becky smiled when i said that.

Her mother wasn't really happy about it.

"No it's not okay. Becky go to your and leave your guitar here."

Becky looked up at her extremely angry. "Fine." She dropped her guitar case on Diana's feet and ran upstairs.

"I'm not done with you!" Diana yelled angry at her while she moved the guitarcase away from her.

"You don't need to be so strict. She's just a teenager, she's allowed to have fun sometimes." I said hoping that Diana wouldn't get mad at me.

She sighed and sat down in the couch. "I just don't know how to get through to her. She never listens. I just want to keep her safe."

"I know you do. All of this has just been difficult for her." I said wrapping my arms around her.

Sunday

Becky

I was suprised to hear that the guys were going to have "a night out". But i was definitely happy to hear it.

Without them in the house sneaking out would be much easier.

I snuck to room after dinner while my mother stayed downstairs with Jack and the guys.

I stared at my closet. It didn't really take me long to come up with an outfit. I was going to a wear my short plaid skirt with a crop top and to spice it up i wore a small leather belt around my thigh.

I trew a big hoodie a big over it so that my mother would be less suspicious if she saw me.

30 mintues after the guys left i went downstairs to say goodnight to my mom and Jack. That way she will think that u was sleeping and not somewhere else.

I went back to my room and put my makeup on as i waited on Adam to text me.

Adam: I'm here

I grabbed my guitar and climbed out my window.

He gave me a weird look when i stepped in his car. "Is that what you're wearing?" He aksed pointing at my big hoodie.

I lauged. "Of course not but that's what my mom thinks I'm wearing."

I trew the hoodie over my head.

He nodded satisfied when he saw the outfit if was wearing under it.

His friends where already waiting for us when we arrived at the bar.

We went in trough the back. I followed Adam to a small room which smelt like molt and alcohol.

I sat down on a chair with my guitar

"Hold out your hand." Adam said softly to me when he saw me bouncing my knee.

He layed a small pill on my hand. "Helps with the  nerves." He said.

I hesitated, i didn't know if i trused him enough to accept a unfamiliar pill.

He layed his hand under mine, slightly pushing it up to my mouth.

"Trust me." He whispered.

I did, i put the pill in my mouth and washed it away with the warm beer that he gave me.

"That's my rockstar." He said smiling.

After a few minutes a man walked into the room and told us that we could go to the stage to "do our thing".

I took a deep breath. Hoping that the pill would soon make my nervous away.

Adam had the brilliant idea the make me sing the first song on my own.

He said that we would get more attention if a girl sang the first song. I would've loved to disagree with him but he was right. These drunk man in the bar would be far more interested in our music if a girl was singing.

I walked on the stage, it was quite dark so i couldn't really see who was sitting in the bar. I was happy with that. I slowly felt my  nerves leave my systeem. A strange burst of energy replaced it.

I nodded to Adam giving him the signal to start the song. I would first sing the song make a move by icon for fire and Adam would sing a few originals after that.

Adam was quite upset at first that we were only allowed to play a few songs but i thought that it was enough. It was just a good opportunity to show people that we're serious about being a band.

Calum

I was happy that Michael had dragged us all to the bar. We hadn't done that in so long.

The only thing that sucked was the fact that i was the designated driver. So that meant no alcohol for me.

The main reason that Michael wanted to go to this bar was that there was live music. Small bands or solo singer would perform a few songs before someone else took the stage. We would either make fun of them or just enjoy the music.

The bar went quiet as a new band set up their stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to them until Ashton spoke.

"Holy shit is that Becky?" Ashton said with a shocked face.
