"Skylar! Come quick!"

I practically ran down the stairs.

"Ashton! What's wrong!?"

"Nothing. My brother! He wants to come see me!"

"Your brother? Well, he's welcome to come. When is he gonna be here?"

"In an hour."

"What!? Oh my God. Bella is upstairs and in her pj's and she's just all moody. I haven't cleaned the house-"

"The house looks fine and Bella can just stay in her room.

"You really think she would be okay?"

"Yeah. Poor kid. It's been 3 months Skylar. She hasn't been active at all. Has she even bathed?"

"Yes! She took a shower this morning. And she eats properly. She's fine."

"She needs a friend."

"I know.."

"I'm gonna start doing something with this house. Even though it looks perfectly fine."

He laughed and shook his head.

"You don't have to do anything." He kissed my forehead. "Just go lay down. It'll be a while."

"Okay. Wake me up a little bit before they get here."

"I will."

I went to check on Bella before anything else.

"Hey kid, you okay?"

"Yeah."

She was laying in bed with a large bag of Doritos and I Dr.Pepper beside her while she watched Mean Girls over and over.

"You know what's accurate about this movie?" She asked.

"What?"

"EVERYBODY'S MEAN!" She yelled, throwing chips at the screen.

I picked them up.

"We have people coming over. You wanna see them?"

"Nah I'm good."

"Okay."

-

"Harry! I'm so glad to see you!"

"Ashton! I knew you weren't dead!"

He embraced him in a hug.

"I missed you so much."

"I missed you too."

He looked over at me.

"Who's this?"

"This is Skylar. She's my girlfriend."

"Way to go Ash!"

They both laughed.

"Uh, Harry, do you want anything to eat?"

"Nah. I'm okay."

"Okay then. You know I have a sister your age..well, she's a year older. She didn't wanna come out of her room. She's a little upset."

Ashton glared at me.

"A little?"

"Yes, Ashton. A little." I said through clenched teeth.

~Harry~

"Um, where's the bathroom?"

"Oh, you just go through the kitchen and up the hallway and it will be the first door on the left."

"Okay. Thank you."

I hopped up and went through the kitchen.

I saw a girl rummaging through the fridge..probably her sister.

She closed the door and I saw her in pj's and a messy bun.

Even though she looked lazy she was still really pretty...
