My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 19

Luna's POV:

I get in Emilio's car adjusting myself in the front seat while Emilio does the same behind the steering wheel.

It has been kinda awkward after the kiss, if you're wondering. We didn't really talk much after it happened (which was like 3 hours ago). We then decided we'd go see Dylan and Kaitlyn bringing some cupcakes that Emilio made this morning with us. Yep, the cupcakes that were all that caused me and Emilio's kiss.

God I just can't stop thinking about it.

It looks like Emilio can't either since he's just driving in silence.

I decide to break the dead-like atmosphere and plug my phone into the auxiliary cord to play songs and sing along. I choose to play my One Direction playlist so I can relive those days when I was a real directioner.

You still go crazy about them.

You can't blame me ok.

I turn up the volume as Midnight Memories by One Direction starts playing. Emilio gives me a look, a look that means that he's about the sing along with me.

Straight off the plane to a new hotel.
Just touched down, you can never tell.
A big house party with a crowded kitchen.
People talk shh, but we don't listen.

We both start to sing along with the song. More like screaming the lyrics on top of our lungs. Emilio's singing is off key, just like mine. We sound like we're having fun, but our voices.. not that bad.

No they're terrible.

Goddammit I hate that voice in my head that always makes sense.

As the song came to an end, Emilio and I look at each other laughing at the fact that none of the cars in the heavy traffic shouted at us.

"We sounded horrible!" I exclaim, stating the truth. Emilio just continues laughing as we stop at a red light. "At least you sounded decent," Emilio says after he stops laughing. "I sounded like a dying wale, Milio,"

"Oh my god, girl no!" Emilio said mimicking Claire or any other Valley Girl for that matter, failing miserably. "Sure, Milio." I say sarcastically rolling my eyes at him.

Something that nobody knows apart from Dylan and Kait, is that I actually have a good singing voice. Ever since I was 4 I started singing but it was like baby singing. When I turned ten, only three weeks after Dad died, I started to sing properly. Dad had always liked singing along with songs on the radio, and he too had a beautiful singing voice. I always loved it when he sang me to sleep, it relaxed me. But when he died, I wanted to do something that I know Dad would be proud of, and he always wanted me to sing even if I sounded like a dying cat. I decided I'll practice on my own, and start improving my singing skills, so that Dad would hopefully be proud of me. Emilio doesn't know, none of my other friends know apart from Kaitlyn, and even Mom doesn't know. She didn't really like the fact that Dad wanted me to sing.

The songs keep playing on the playlist and soon, my favorite One Direction song is playing. If I Could Fly by One Direction. One of the most heart touching 1D song that I practically adore and put so much effort into singing it because, well, I don't want to ruin it.

If I could fly,
I'd be coming right back home to you.
I think I might give up everything just ask me to.
Pay attention, I hope that you listen.
Cause I let my guard down.
Right now I'm completely defenseless.
For your eyes only, I show you my heart.
For when you're lonely, and forget who you are.
I'm missin' half of me, when we're apart.
Now you know me, for your eyes only.
