Love grows with time...

“What? They don’t hate you” lied. simply raised her eyebrows and gave him and ‘I-know-your-lying’ look. “Okay, I really don’t know , but don’t get upset, they don’t know what you’re like. They would love you, I mean who couldn’t? You’re beautiful, talented and have an amazing personality to match.”

“Cheers , you’re the best brother ever.” She said wiping tears from her eyes.

“NO! I am not going there, what if the guys are there? I can’t face them again.” asked worriedly.

“So? What if they are? You’re my little sister, and I want you to come round to mine, and then you can meet my girlfriend!” said.

“Okay. Guys, I need to ask you something,” said as he walked into the living room, pulling behind him.

“Fire away dude.” said facing , and then looking disgusted. “OI! Don’t you dare look at her like that.” said angrily.

“ it doesn’t matter. Just ask them whatever it is you want to ask them.” said quietly.

“ !” said embarrassed, and her eyes filling with tears. “Dude, we don’t hate your sister.” said not convincing anyone.

“Okay if you don’t hate her, then come and ask her questions about herself, like you usually do when ever there is a chick here.” said knowing he had won.

“ , don’t bother.” said trying to leave, the tears now falling freely down her face, but failing as grabbed her arm.

“ man, what’s got into you?” asked not looking at , but asking her “How are you? There I said something to her.” “Fine thanks. , I’m going to go, this was a bad idea. See you around.” She left, her tear-stained face bearing sadness, but as she opened the door, she saw a familiar face.

“Yeah, but I got to go.” She answered quickly wiping the tears off her face.

“Chick, what’s wrong?” asked pulling in for a hug. “Nothing, only the fact that my brother’s three best mates, and band mates all hate me.” asked sobbing into ’s shoulder.

“ ! I thought I heard your voice, did you meet ?” said putting his head around the door, and realising what her saw.

“Hey babe. and me go way back. What’s this about the guys hating her?” asked not wanting to believe what had told her.

“Well, they don’t like her, even though she has done nothing wrong and they don’t even know her!” answered raising his voice slightly so that the guys heard him.

“Oh, guys are these things I hear true?” shouted as she walked into the sitting room.

“Please don’t, they don’t like me and they never will I don’t want to make an even bigger fool out of myself, ’s already done that by making me come. Can I use your bathroom?” said shaking.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll show you where it is.” said taking his 16year old sisters hand and taking her to his bathroom.

“Guys,” said. Three faces turned and looked at her. “Why do you hate ?”

“I dunno. We just don’t have a good feeling about her.” asked looking at the floor.

“But do you even know her? She is seriously awesome.” said. “Well, she might be, but we still don’t like her.” said looking straight at .

“ , look don’t get involved. Ever since she first walked in a few weeks ago, we’ve had a bad feeling about her. And nothing you say is going to change that.” said harshly. “Well, what if I said your hurting by hurting his sister, and you’re hurting me by hurting , and by hurting one of my best mates. If that makes sense.”

A few minutes later, came storming downstairs, and threw himself onto the sofa in-between and . His face was like thunder and he didn’t look as if he wanted to talk.
“Hey .” said cautiously kissing him on the cheek.
“Hey babe. Sorry if I’m grumpy but my old best friends are pissing me off.”
“ …” started.
“Shut up. You know what you have done to my sister?”
“No what have…” asked but was interrupted by .
“I will tell you. She came to see me after her dick of a boyfriend hit her, and told her how much he hated her, and tried to rape her, and that he had said that he wished she was dead. And when I told her that I lived with you guys, I saw the fear in her eyes, and I said ‘don’t worry they’ll love you’ and finally I convinced her to come.” shouted tears in his eyes.
“ baby…” said.
“Shush…” said waving his arm at . “And before she met you for the first time I knew that she was worried what you would think of her, and when she got here and you three twats didn’t even welcome her, I saw the sadness and hurt in her eyes, but she stayed because I had told her you would like her, and she believed me.”
“What, he hit her?” asked crying.
“Yeah, but it doesn’t matter because going to stay with one of her friends, and I’m never going to see her again, because of my so called friends attitude problems.” said, the pain obvious in his voice.
“And he tried to rape her?” asked shocked.
“Yes, all because she wouldn’t sleep with him. I don’t blame her, a 20year old bastard like him, I dunno why she went out with him in the first place, I mean she’s 16 for fucks sake!!”
“Jesus… if I had known I would have made an effort.” said speaking what the others were thinking.
“Well…I didn’t think I would have to tell you what she had been through for you to like her.” said.
“Where is she now?” asked quietly.
“Upstairs, asleep. And don’t even think of going near her. I don’t want you to hurt her yet again.”
“I’ll go and catch up later then.” said leaning back onto Harry and focussing on the tele, leaving , and to think about what Harry had just said.
“ , I’ll try and be nice to her because I know how much you love her, and I know you don’t’ want her to go.” said after about ten minutes.
“Thanks .” said quietly.
“Yeah, we will too mate.” said speaking for him and .
