Elena woke up to an empty bed. Yawning, she pushed herself to her feet, stumbling out of Luke's bedroom. She groaned to herself as she did so, her bones aching and her body feeling sticky after having slept in a pair of skinny.
Her feet fell heavily on the stairs, the loud thumps echoing throughout the house. She scratched her head as she almost fell off the final step. Her head snapped up as she heard someone chuckle, and her eyes widened immediately, her mood changing completely.
"Calum!" She rushed into the older mans arms, who was sat at the kitchen island with a coffee in front of him. Calum laughed as he almost fell off his chair, having to grab the island counter to ensure that he didn't. Luke laughed at the two of them as he sat opposite them. "I've missed you! I haven't seen you in forever!"
Calum laughed, wrapping his arms around the teen, her face squashed into his chest. "I know! I've missed you too, Little Hemmings!"
Elena pulled had face away, a frown forming on her lips. "I'm not twelve anymore, Calum."
"I know." Calum grinned. "But that doesn't change the fact that you're still the littlest Hemmings!"
The man wasn't wrong. Elena was tiny compared to the rest of her family - her brother standing at over six foot, just like his father, whilst she was a mere four foot eight. Everyone else thought it was cute, but Elena hated it.
The doorbell rang, disturbing the group. Luke got up to open it whilst Elena stayed with Calum, telling him about her most recent book - the girl enjoyed reading and she often found discussing a book the easiest way to make conversation.
"ELENA!" The shout interrupted the two, and Elena nearly fell to the floor in shock. Turning her head, she grinned when she saw the source of the noise.
"MIKEY!" She replied, her voice matching the volume the man had be speaking seconds before. She abandoned Calum, racing towards the man with the wild hair.
Racing into Michael's arms, the man enjoyed a small oof as she barrelled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and she returned the gesture, although their embrace was short lived as they were interrupted by someone else.
"Hey! What about me?"
Elena laughed as she turned to see her favourite drummer, and she left Michael, replacing his embrace with Ashton's. He lifted her into the air, spinning her around. There was no denying it - the drummer was most definitely the strongest in the band.
"I haven't seen you guys in forever." Elena laughed, as she pulled herself out of Ashton's arms.
"I know! Look at how much you've grown!" Michael pointed out, ruffling her hair.
Ashton laughed from beside him. "She hasn't grown at all."
Elena pouted, "Luke! Ashton's bullying me!"
"He's not wrong!"
