Brooklyn's point of view

"Ashton? Can Nate and Amelia come over?" I asked him and he and Luke looked at me. "Please? Amelia says they really need to see me."

"Of course they can." He said and nodded. "Keep your door open and just know that your room is close enough for me to hear what you're talking about."

"Of course." I said and smiled. "Thanks Ash." I said and he nodded. I went back into my room and then I told Amelia that the two of them could come by.

I looked down at my black high-waisted shorts and sports bra and then shrugged. I wasn't in the mood to change into something really cute and shit. I was too tired to try and look nice.

If I can see Nate in just basketball shorts and Amelia in shorts and a bra, I think they can take me dressed like this.

I grabbed the laptop Michael let me borrow so I could play that cd Nate gave me and then I turned it on. I started to play the disk and then I turned it down because I think the guys are getting tired of it.

All the songs are just so catchy though...

"Because enough's enough we're done," I sang along to this guy. I learned from Michael his name is Kellin Quinn and he's in that band Sleeping With Sirens and the other band playing in this is Pierce The Veil.

He literally made a track list for me because I only knew one song on here and it was 'Something's Gotta Give' by All Time Low.

Michael is truly my lifesaver.

The doorbell rang and then I ran downstairs. I opened the door and then saw the twins. "You dyed your hair." I said to the purple haired boy and the blue haired girl. "Holy shit it looks so good."

"Can you stop flirting with us and let us in?" Amelia joked and I nodded, letting the two walk in. "All black? Aww, we've rubbed off on you."

"You bet you did." I said and Nate just rolled his eyes as he ran a hand through his hair. "Come on, let's go up to my room." I said and they nodded.

I took them to my room and then I left the door opened. "So, what's in the box?" I asked, seeing Amelia holding a bright pink box.

"Since you needed a new tiara and I needed to apologize for almost getting you in trouble at school-"

"When did this happen?" Nate questioned his sister and I laughed. "What happened?"

"I threw food at some kid who wouldn't stop bothering me and he thought it was Brooke because his back was turned at that moment." Amelia said and he nodded, saying it wasn't that bad.

"I told you, it's fine." I said and she handed me the box. "I don't need presents." I said and she set her hands on her hips.

"Me and Nate bought this for you and if you don't take it no one will use it and it will just rot away in a box." She said and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Just open the box or else she'll go on about how you're lucky you're even getting this when there are children who could use things like this but can't have it." Nate pleaded and I laughed.

I opened the bright pink box and inside was a crown. I lifted it out of the box and looked at it. It was heavy and was just really beautiful. "Why is it so shiny?"

"Because the silver is actual silver and not some cheap ass plastic."

"Holy-"

"Don't drop it." She said and I nodded. "It didn't cost much, it was only like eighty dollars." She said with a shrug. "It bought it from a cousin, she owns a lot of actual crowns and shit and since she doesn't use them anymore, she's selling them."

"Wow." I said and looked at it. "It's so pretty."

"Of course it is. Do you think we'd buy you a shitty crown to make up for something that could have gotten you suspended?" He asked and laughed.

"It's too much, a simple apology was enough." I said but the two have me a look. "Fine, I'll keep it." I said and then put it back in the box as I moved it aside. "Come here."

We all shared a hug and I chuckled. "You're the best." I told them and Nate laughed.

"Of course I am. Don't forget it little missy." He said and I rolled my eyes at him. We pulled away and then I sat on my desk chair. I took the pink box and set it on my desk before crossing my legs and looking at the two.

"So, you're liking the CD I assume?" Nate asked as he listened closely. "It's Panic! right now." He said and I nodded.

"It's the best thing someone has ever given me-"

"All you sinners stand up sing hallelujah!" Amelia shouted as she stopped her foot to the beat. "Show praise with your body stand up sing hallelujah!"

I stood up and then clapped along while laughing. "I'm a drummer, I'm not much of a singer, that's Nate's thing." She said and I looked at the boy.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" I asked and he rolled his eyes. "Come on Nate. Please?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Please?" I asked but he shook his head. "You're no fun." I pouted and he shrugged while taking his leather jacket off.

"I've listened to all of these songs over a hundred times." He said and I nodded. "They're really catching." He told me and I nodded.

"Yep." I said and talked over to him. I grabbed his wrist and then took the bandana off of it. "I'm gonna borrow this."

"You have your own."

"Yeah but it's just not the same." I said and I folded it. I tied it around my head and then I smiled. "Now I kind of match you guys." I said and Amelia shrugged off her leather jacket.

"Take this, it'll fit more." She said and I put it on. I looked down and then smiled. "Perfect." She said and I did the rock n' roll hand sign.

"There, now you match a bit." Nate said and I laughed. "This is possibly one of the most catchiest songs this band ever made." He said and I listened as the song changed.

"Killjoys, make some noise." Amelia yelled and I looked at Nate. We both nodded and then we ran away from her.

"I hear My Chemical Romance, someone please turn it off before I cry." I heard Michael say and I bumped into him. I huffed as I fell on my ass and then I looked up at him.

"Ouch."

"Why does this always happen?" He asked and he helped me up. I rubbed my butt and then Amelia came walking out. "You guys were jamming to My Chem?" He asked.

"Well, she was. We ran because she's scary when she fangirls." I said and she pouted. "It's a good song though." I said.

"Of course it is, it's by My Chemical Romance." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, don't you look badass."

"It's their fault." I said and Nate gasped. "He had a black bandana on his wrist and it just felt right to put it on." I said and he nodded.

"Be careful though Brooky. You can't break your leg a day before the award show." He said and I nodded. "I know it's a good way to get out of gym but don't do it."

"I know, I won't." I said and he nodded. He went to his room and then Nate rose and eyebrow at me.

"Brooky?"

"Shut up." I said and then walked downstairs with him. "Did you turn the laptop off?" I asked Amelia and she nodded.

"What are those videos labeled 'stash'?" She asked and I scrunched my nose up. "I wanted to watch one but it needed needed a password."

"That's not my laptop. That's Michael's and lord knows what kind of videos those are." I said and she nodded. "I just use it to listen to the cd."

"Oh, ew." She said and I nodded. I took a seat on the couch and Nate did the same. "Guess what happened when me and Nate went to get the crown?"

"You saw a band member?" I asked and she snorted, saying that she wished that happened. "What happened?"

"This dipshit thought it'd be okay to ask her out while I was was around and clearly able to punch him." Nate said and I nodded. "That's what I did."

"Poor guy." Amelia said and glared at her brother. "He seemed sweet, I don't know why I couldn't go out with him."

"Because you're not allowed to date?" Nate asked and looked at Amelia. "You're fourteen."

"So are you and yet you have two ex girlfriends." Amelia retorted and I pulled the sleeves of the jacket down. "What's with the hypocrisy?"

"I don't want you getting hurt like I did, that is why you're not allowed to date yet." He said and I just looked at him. "They seem sweet and innocent, but then all of a sudden, they're telling you to kill yourself and that they're tired of putting up with you."

"Not everyone is like that Nathaniel."

"But there are some out there and I'm not letting you date anyone." Nate said firmly to Amelia, causing her to roll her eyes. "Plus, it's Nate." He said and I cleared my throat.

"Just, focus on school. Don't get involved with stupid shit like relationships." He muttered and ran a hand through his hair. "Both of you. Stay away from boyfriend's or girlfriends."

I nodded and then Luke walked down. "Hey guys," he said and I just waved. "What's up?" He asked even though he probably knew. It seems like he knew.

"Just telling the girls to stay away from relationships and focus on school." Nate said and Luke looked impressed. "Relationships are no good, I should know." He said and Luke nodded.

"Me and Michael just ordered some pizza if the two of you are going to stay over a bit longer." Luke said and Amelia nodded, asking if it's was alright. "Of course."

"I'll be in the kitchen cleaning the dishes." Luke said and I nodded. He went to the kitchen and then the faucet began running.

"He doesn't trust me." Nate said and I shook my head. "It's cool. I wouldn't trust me either." He said and Amelia laughed.

"Is he and Ashton dating?" Amelia asked and I nodded because I knew she wouldn't tell. "That's cute. Maybe them and our mum's could meet one day."

"That'd be cool." I said and Nate chuckled. "Ashton wants to meet them because I can't go over unless they meet and Ashton can trust them."

"We need to arrange a date for the four of them." Amelia said and I just nodded. "Are they free on Wednesday?"

"I believe so."

"They can come over with us or you three can come over." She suggested and I nodded as I leaned back against the couch.

"Sounds good." I said and then Nate said he likes that song. "What song?" I asked him and he shushed me.

"My spiked hair, your new vans, let's throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101!" I heard someone sing loudly and then Michael came running downstairs with a tie around his head. "Can someone please save us from punk rock 101?"

"That's Bowling For Soup!" Nate said and Michael laughed as he pretended to play an air guitar. "At least some people actually listen to music like that stuff, even if it's older kids."

"I feel so relieved that some kids your age are into the whole punk rock and pop-punk scene." Michael said and I laughed. "Punk will live forever!"

"Hell yeah!"
