Free April Fools by Karli Perrin Page A

god and you thought it was true. I wondered why you were
being such a bitch."
    "Hang
on, so it's not true?"
    He took a few
deep breaths and managed to stop laughing, "No, Leah is some psycho groupie.
She wanted to have sex with me but I said no. I've never even touched her. A
couple of weeks later, she got pregnant and told everybody that it was my kid.
I've even taken a DNA test to prove that it's not mine."
    "Oh
thank god, so you're not a complete idiot after all."
    "Have a
little faith."
    "Well
what was I supposed to think? You were acting all nervous and then you said
that you wanted to talk to me about something."
    "I do, I
have some awesome news."
    I placed my
hand over my heart, "I don't know if I can take any more."
    A huge grin
spread across his face, "Well you're going to have to because you're
looking at a signed artist."
    "What?"
    "The
band! We've been signed!"
    We both
started jumping up and down. "Oh my god! Are you being serious?"
    "Deadly
fucking serious" he replied as he picked me up and spun me around.
    I half
laughed, half screamed, "Congratulations! I'm so proud of you!" My
head was spinning when he placed me back down, "Oh my god, my brother is
going to be a rock star! Tell me everything!"
    I knew that I
would remember this moment for the rest of my life. The moment when my brother's
life was about to change forever. One day, I would sit my grandchildren down
and tell them all about this moment.
    "I got
the call about an hour ago, they want us to fly to America to meet with the
record company and lay down some test tracks."
    "That's
awesome, when are you going?"
    "Saturday."
    "Woah,
that's only two days away."
    "I know,
they said that we could be there for a couple of months. They're paying for a
private villa and everything."
    "I'm
definitely coming to visit you, you can fly me out in the record labels private
jet."
    He chuckled, "Hell
yes, only the best for my little sister. I still can't believe it. I mean,
we're getting signed to the same record company as the D-Bags and The Mighty
Storm. How fucking awesome is that?"
    I stood up, "Oh.
My. God. You're going to meet Kellan Kyle! Will you get me his autograph?"
    "Why do
you need his autograph when you can have mine?"
    I raised my
eyebrow, "Dude, it's Kellan Kyle."
    "This
isn't real."
    "It is real and you deserve it, I'm so happy for you." His mood seemed to darken.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
    "I'm
just worried about leaving people behind."
    I sighed, "If
you're talking about Mum then stop worrying. She's forty eight years old, it's
about time she looked after herself. Don't you dare feel guilty, you've already
sacrificed too much for her. This is your time to shine."
    "When
did you get so wise?"
    "The day
I was born."
    He laughed as
he pulled me into a giant hug. "I'm actually going to miss this place, no
wonder students are willing to get into so much debt to come here."
    I heard the
front door close and turned around to see Lucy watching us. She smiled before
heading towards her bedroom.
    "Lucy,
wait..." Brody shouted.
    "No, I
don't want to interrupt."
    "You're
not, I have some good news."
    She stopped
walking, "I've already heard, congratulations."
    "The
rumours aren't true" he replied.
    She turned
around to face us, "It's not your baby?"
    "No, she
made it all up. I even took a DNA test to prove it."
    "So then,
what's the good news?"
    "The
band have been signed."
    "Oh my
god!" Her face lit up as she ran over to him and threw her arms around his
neck.
    I slipped
away unnoticed. I didn't need to ask if something was happening between them. I
already knew the answer.

 
    Chapter
Seventeen
    After classes
on Thursday, I went shopping before heading over to Isaac's. I wanted to give
Lucy and Brody some time alone.
    I turned up wearing
my newly bought trench coat and killer heels. "I have something for
you" I told him as I led him over to the sofa. I sat him down before shaking
my hair free from its ponytail. His eyes turned fiery as I very slowly began to
untie
