A/N: Okay, so this is the last of the random chapters that I wrote up in my boring Probability & Statistics classes back at school this past semester. Hopefully I'll get another "new" chapter up today. Also thanks to LilyRose for my very first review! Check her stories as well, they're great. MCR is another (recent) fandom of mine, so I might try my hand writing over there sometime. Now, on to the chapter.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Becca, come on! I know you need a project for your film class and the record label is pushing us for the next video. You’ll even get to be on TV. Making the Video is begging us again."
Rebecca groaned and rolled over, pulling the covers back over her head. It was Saturday, and she was determined to sleep in for as long as she possibly could. A few minutes later she felt one side of her bed sink slightly with the weight of another person. She didn’t even have to look to know that it was her brother.
“Petey, let me sleep! It’s Saturday. Please. When I wake up we can discuss the video. Just let me finish out my sleep. I don’t think you want to negotiate with me without my sleep.”
Rebecca threw her arm out, swatting at her brother. It was times like this that she wished she could sleep with headphones on without the fear of choking.
“Becca, get up already. It’s almost lunchtime. I have to get to a meeting with some CEO’s in a few hours. It would be great to have an answer to tell them about the video. I’ve been fighting off legions of directors for you. Some of the CEO’s are vicious little things. Especially over money.”
Rebecca swatted in the general direction of where she knew her brother to be sitting. She was rewarded when she felt her hand hit her brother.
“Petey, at least let me sleep until eleven.”
“Then you should have been up almost half an hour ago. It’s almost 11:30, Becca.”
“Damn! I could have sworn that the drinks would have worn off by now. I should have at least been up by eleven. I wasn’t even out that late.”
“What are you talking about, Becca? Who did you go out last night with? I thought you went to bed early after a little while on the computer chatting. Surely you haven’t turned into the bad child while I’ve been out on tour.”
“No. I went out after chatting for a while on the computer. I was invited out for some drinks and dancing. And don’t you even say anything about me drinking. I’m almost of age. And I didn’t buy them.”
Rebecca rolled over slowly to face her brother and laughed at the expression on his face. She had to admit, it might be quite the shock for him. When he had left on the mad spree of touring, she had been the perfect child, almost too good he had said. And now he came back to find her an under-aged almost alcoholic who snuck out of the house to go partying with guys. That seemed an unbelievable stretch, especially given her background with boys.
“Becca, what did you do last night? You look an absolute mess. But first off, who did you go out with last night? Someone had to be legal to buy the drinks. Becca, I’m not going to tell Mom and Dad. Besides, I’m sure you still have some blackmail of your own on me that you would love to pull out.”
“Yes, I do have more blackmail, so don’t you forget it. But I went out with Jon, Spencer, and Ivy. Spence called and invited me out. Jon knew about this hole in the wall place where we wouldn’t have to worry about fans mobbing them. You know, since he’s from around here too. So they invited me and Ivy out, as a way of repaying us for having them tag along with us the other day. Jon bought the drinks, but only two rounds, as he didn’t want it to be noticeable that me and Spence were drinking. The whole under-aged thing and all. After that it was soda. We just sat talking and joking around, then we danced some. It’s nothing, Petey. Besides, it’s not like you’re innocent yourself.”
“You’re positive that it was nothing else? I don’t want you hurt like Aiden did.”
“Petey, for christ’s sake! It was harmless. Just a little dancing with a few drinks. I think I know better than to get myself into another situation like with Aiden. And I would appreciate it if people would stop bringing that lapse of sanity up. It’s as if I have to constantly be reminded that once I did something incredibly stupid. I know that.”
Rebecca had climbed out of bed, pacing around the room grabbing various things to take a shower and get dressed for the day while ranting. It was a habit, and something she didn’t even think to question if her brother would understand it. He had upset her by the questioning and then bringing up something she would rather forget. So at the moment, she didn’t have too much care for if he knew it or not.
“Look, Becca, I’m sorry. I was just asking to try and look out for you. I don’t want you to get hurt. It was hard enough before, and then I had to be called out on tour. They told me I had postponed long enough, especially without giving them a concrete reason. The guys understood, they were even willing to put off a few more shows.”
“I know, Petey. But sometimes you have to realize that I’m an adult. You’re worse than Mom sometimes, you know that? How about you let me grab a shower and then meet me downstairs for some food and you can talk about the video all you want. Sound good?”
Rebecca turned back to grin at her brother, hoping that there wouldn’t be any more fighting. She really loved her brother, just hated how brotherly he could be at times. Like now.
