Zaria's/Alexandria's P.O.V
Date: January 6th

"LAND!" I exclaimed as I jumped from the small ass car Juliet drove not even caring that it was 42 degrees out.

Juliet and I were driving Andy's car to their new house while Andy and CC drove the moving truck with all their, and mine, shit. I was grateful for not having to ride with Andy and CC but being in a tiny car while having motion sickness just doesn't work out very well.

"I'm not that bad of a driver," Juliet teased.

"I don't no." I half smirked as Juliet punched me in my arm. "Hey that wasn't very nice of you." I rubbed my arm trying to make it seem like she hurt me.

"Ah well," she shrugged.

I was about to reply when I saw the moving truck pull up with another car right behind it. Juliet walked over and started to talk to Andy, then he moved the truck into the driveway and killed the engine. The other car pulled behind Andy's car and Ashley and Jinxx got out of it.

"Hey girl," Jinxx greeted me. "What you doing sitting on the ground like that when it's cold out."

"LAND!" was all I shouted as I dug my hands into the frozen dirt and pulled up grass.

"I can't tell if your more like Andy or CC." Ashley walked up behind Jinxx laughing while shaking his head.

I stuck my tongue out at him and threw the dirt and grass that was in my hands.

Both Jinxx and Ashley looked and said, "CC." Which caused them both to laugh.

"What about me?" CC walked up to us with a box in hand looking like he was ready for work.

"Nothing, just that Alex acts a lot like you," Jinxx explained as I got up and walked over to the truck. I heard CC chuckle as I walked away.

Andy was in the back loading things off the truck and onto the ground for people to grab and carry in. I looked at the boxes and each one had a room written on it. One said "living room" while another said "bathroom."

I moved to pick up one of the kitchen boxes when someone pushed it away from me with their foot. My head snapped up to see Andy.

"I don't want to carrying in boxes," he stated in a way the seemed like there was no room for arguments but I never go down without a fight.

I cocked one of my eyebrows and crossed my arms. "And why is that."

"Cause I said so and I'm the adult." I tried to quite the scoff that left my mouth but failed. "Plus I don't want you to hurt yourself. You're still healing and if you keep hurting yourself or working yourself then it'll take longer to heal."

I stayed there with my arms still crossed. "Andy, what would I do instead?"

Andy sighed in relief not thinking I would have given up so easily when in fact I haven't even thought about giving up. "You would help Juliet organize and eventually go get food and supplies for the house."

"No." I moved to pick up another box and Andy stepped back in the way and I started to get mad cause I was sick of him and everyone else thinking I couldn't do the smallest of task on my own. "I'm not going to do a job that's demeaning while the heavier job that requires more people is lacking." I shouted.

"It's not demeaning and I don't care what you thing you're not going to be carrying boxes in," Andy shouted back.

I threw my hands up in frustration. "You are not my father you can not tell me what to do and what's it going to hurt for me to carry in some of the smaller lighter boxes. It won't kill me I promise."

Andy's arms snaked across his chest. "You're right I'm not your father but I am you brother who has custody of you which mean that I can tell you what to do and I say that you are not going to help with the heavy lifting." He turned his back on me and climbed into the truck leaving no more room for conversation.

"Wanna bet," I hissed underneath my breath.

I very silently and quickly grabbed one of the smaller boxes that said kitchen, knowing that he did have a point with me hurting myself. Once the box was in my hands I started to walk as fast as I could just to prove that I could help and just to prove that I was right. I know it's childish but hell if I care, I'm tired of being treated like a baby.

Andy noticed I had a box when I was halfway to the door and I heard him call to Jinxx to get the box from me. When Jinxx got close to me I glared at him daring him to take it.

"I will tickle you if you even try," I growled.

"Why does it even matter," Jinxx inquired. "It's just a box, if it were me I would prefer sitting and doing the easier stuff while everyone else does the heavy lifting."

"It's more than that," I mumbled feeling kinda stupid. "I'm sick and tried of everyone treating me like I can't do anything just because I have a few broken bones. It's driving me nuts. Before I came here I always did everything. I cooked dinner, I got my own plate of food, I cleaned the dishes, was able to carry my own things when I wanted, I basically lived on my own sense my dad was always at work or his girlfriends house. Now, I can't do any of that because everyone is afraid I'll get hurt. I have just been feeling so useless and right now it matters if I do this, to me it'll prove that I can still be useful, that I can still do things."

"Why don't you just tell Andy that." I starred at Jinxx like he was an idiot. "Wait, stupid question, sorry." He shook his head and started again. "I know Andy is stubborn and barely budges for anything but just talk to him maybe he won't be as bad." He paused then looked like he remembered something. "You also might want to consider the fact that he feels like he also needs to" he stopped trying to think of the right word "baby you, for lack of a better word. You see he lost you when you both were very young and I bet he had all these plans to treat you like the best little sister ever then when you disappeared those plans were crushed and he might be trying to make up for it now."

Great, now I feel like a bitch. I sighed and walked into to the kitchen and sat the box down. CC and Ashley had already gotten the table and chairs in the dinning room so I walked in there and sat down. How am I going to find middle ground with Andy? My broken bones really don't hurt that much and it wouldn't kill me to just carrying the smaller lighter boxes. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. "Ugh, why can't I just not have gotten the stupid broken bones in the first place?"

"Cause if you hadn't we wouldn't have ever been able to find you."
I jumped as Andy's voice came from behind me. I slowly turned around to see a hurt looking Andy. "Andy, I didn't mea..." I didn't get to finish it because he left the dinning room.
Just another thing you fucked up Zaria. I felt hot tears fill my eyes but blinked them back quickly. Gosh, why am I so fucking emotional right now?
Sighing, I got up and headed back outside. When outside I saw Ashley and CC stuggling with the sofa and Jinxx and Andy talking beside the truck. I started to move toward the truck so I could pick up more boxes but CC called for me.
"What's up?" I asked when I got to them.
"We were wondering if you could get the cusions for the couch so we won't have to bother with them," Ashley answered for CC.
I just shrugged for me answer which they took for a yes and picked the couch back up and started to walk toward the house again. The cusions were against the back of the trailer which was right next to the truck. Andy's eyes were on me the entire time and when I got to the trailer and grabbed the cusions he seemed satisfied and went back to picking up and carrying in boxes with Jinxx right next to him talking. I quickly let out a sigh of annoyance the picked up all the cusions I could, which was three, and carried them in.
When I came out for the last two throw pillows I stopped when I heard a helicopter. I looked up to watch it go by just so I could pass some time. But after like thirty seconds of watching someone shouted something and I was looking around to see what it was.
"I SAID WATCH OUT!" the voice yelled and I quickly jumped away as a skateboarder went by. I was about to call him some pretty bad names when he stopped and came back. "Hey, I'm sorry about that, I really bad about breaking."
I smiled at him. "It's ok."
He flipped his hair, which was as white as snow, out of his eyes and gave a smile that bordered on a flirtatious smirk. "So, you new around here."
"Obviously." I gave him a bored look.
"Yeah. I guess it really was a dumb question." He laughed and ran his hand through his hand. His eyes moved from my face down my body and he noticed the casts. "What happened to you?"
"Hit by a car." CC and Ashley were moving back to the trailer.
"Go Alexandria," Ashley hooted. "Not in town for even an hour and meeting boys."
I groaned as the boys brown eyes almost popped out of his sulk.
"I-is that Ashley Purdy and CC f-from Black Veil Brides?" He looked like he was about to faint. "What are they doing here?"
"You might want to close your mouth before a bug flies in there. Oh, and wipe up the drool, it's very unattractive." He quickly shut his mouth as CC and Ashley came to us.
"Who's this young man," CC asked.
"I'm Alec and I'm a hugh fan," the boy said so quickly that you had to wait a few seconds so you could sort out the words.
"Well nice to meet you then," CC spoke. "Always nice to meet someone who likes our music." CC turned toward me. "Zaria, I think Juliet wanted you to go to the store with her so you guys can get food for the house."
"Do I have to," I groaned like a five year old.
"Juliet? As in Juliet Simms?" Alec looked like he didn't know what to do with himself.
"The one and only." I turned to walk back into the house.
"I can't believe that people from one of my top ten bands is going to be living next door to my best friend." His eyes got huge again. "Oh my gosh, she is totally going to flip when she figures out."
I whipped around. "Don't you dare tell anyone."
He looked dumbfounded and so did CC and Ashley.
"I'd rather not have people knowing I'm related to a memeber of BVB just so they can act like they want to be my friend just to get closer to you guys. I want people to like me for me first then I'll let them know." I walked away from them to go and see when Juliet wanted to go to the store.
It took a while to find her but when I did she was in one of the bedrooms that was upstairs setting it up.
"Ah CC finally did something I asked," she joked as I walked in. "You ready to help me with shopping."
I groaned internally. "Not really. I kinda hate shopping but I will because I'm extremly picky."
We came back an hour later with almost everything. It ranged from food to the kitchen to toilet paper. Which was very needed because when we got back Ashley was going on about having to use the shiter.
"Why don't you go and see what room you'd like and I'll put away everything," Juliet suggested and I was happy to accept it.
First I looked at the one that was down stairs and it was kinda small. Atleast for a bedroom it was. It looked like it could fit the bare essentials and that was about it.
The other three bedrooms were up stairs and one was already taken by Andy and Juliet. The second bedroom I looked at was the one I was the on that I wanted that Andy had showed me on his phone.
It was big but not to big, it was conected to one of the bathrooms, and it had a triple window and had a seat on it. The windows looked out to the back yard and beyond the back yard were a thicket of trees. I walked over to a door that wasn't the bathroom door and opened it. Inside was a huge walk in closet. The closet was so big that I could probably fit my dresser in there and still have closet space.
I knew I should go and look at the next room to see if it was better than this but I knew it wouldn't be. I turned around to go down to tell Juliet that I found a room but stopped when I saw boxes labled "Alex's Stuff". My head cocked to the side in confusion. Why would my stuff be in here even though I hadn't chosen my room yet.
Andy walked trough the doorway with another one of my boxes. When he sat the box down he saw my confused look and chuckled slightly.
"I knew you would have wanted this room so I started to move your stuff up here," he explained.
"Ah, okay." I smiled at him. "Thanks."
"Welcome." He made a move to start leaving and that's when I remembered what I said earlier.
"Andy." He stopped in the doorway and moved his head to look at me. "I didn't mean what I said earlier, or at least not in the way you took it."
"I know." He turned around completely. "You just want not to have the broken bones so you can actually do things and not be babied."
If you know that then why have you been treating me like a baby, I wanted to scream but instead I just stammered, "H-how?"
He gave a slight smile. "When you saw Jinxx and I by the truck he was telling me all about it."
"That traitor," I yelled.
Andy's face fell at my words. "Why couldn't you just tell me yourself? I would have tried to understand. I want you to be able to tell me anything that's bothering you instead of doing what you did last week."
A lump formed in my throat. "I-I didn't even mean to do that," my voice was so weak and fragile sounding and I hated it. "I blacked out and didn't know what I was doing."
I felt Andy's arms wrap around me. "It's okay, I know you didn't intentionally do it but maybe it could have been prevented if you wouldn't have bottled up your feelings."
I felt the angry remark making it's way to my mouth but I swallowed it down. It sounds like he blames for it happening but how am I suppose to tell the son of my new parents that I miss everything? That part of me wishes that I was still in Florida with all my friends? How do I tell him that I wish that non of this had ever happened and I could have kept my family from going to jail?
"I'll try not to bottle it up so much," was all I said.
