We Are Unbreakable

CCs POV

Over the next week the two things I heard about most was Riley's acoustic performance and Seth starting school.
Honestly, I was getting pretty sick of Ashley talking about Riley. I'm sure Riley is sick of it. She was texting Kimber saying that he was still going on about it. Yes, it was awesome and I'm happy for Riley, but this could very well be short lived. If Ash isn't careful it will fizzle out for Riley and then she'll really feel like shit. I hoped Ashley didn't hype it up too much...
On the other end of the scale. Seth was starting school when the new week started and he was going nuts. He'd be excited one minute, worried the next, then nervous, then excited again and every other emotion possible for an eleven year old.
I was entertained by his bursts positive energy and I supported him.
I could tell he was getting comfortable with me. He would always watch me work or come hang out with me when I was watching TV. I was actually gonna miss him when he went to school.

"CC, do you think I'll fit in at that school?" Seth asked me as we finished dinner.
We sat at the table alone with empty plates in front of us cause Kimber left for work and didn't have time to clear them.
"What the hell you talking about? Of course you will! Are the nerves getting to you again kiddo?" I joked.
"No, I mean like, will they like me as a person? My school back home were so..." He trailed off trying to think of the word.
"Judgmental?"
"Yeah! Exactly! They didn't care much for music, which I didn't care about cause everyone has their own opinions. But they saw anyone who was different as a misfit. Which would have been a lot of people cause none is same... Right?"
This kid is adorable.
"Seth, those people are pretentious. Their too busy picking on others only to make themselves feel better. So if you think about it, they were jealous of you. And you're right, no one is the same" I said laughing patting his shoulder.
"So... I'll be fine?"
"You'll be more than fine" I assured him.
He smiled up at me and relaxed.
"Go get ready for bed. You have a big day tomorrow."
"Okay" he huffed, getting up from the table and going upstairs.

Seths POV

I looked at myself in the mirror one last time before exiting my room.
My black skinny jeans were too long and crinkled at the bottom. My thin, deep red knit clung to my body and my black denim vest hung over the top. I had straightened my blonde hair into a wispy mop, but decided against it and went over to my draws and grabbed my beanie.
Better. Much better.
"Seth, are you ready to go?!" My mom called to me.
It was so weird. I still wasn't use to having a mom. Like, it was great, but I always wondered whether she wanted me part of this family..
"Yeah! Coming!" I yelled back.
I glanced one last time in the mirror and was happy with end result. I had only changed five times.
I rushed downstairs, grabbing my backpack on the way and meeting my mom in the kitchen.
"Oh good, you're ready" she said looking at me up and down.
"Where's CC?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous.
"He went into the studio already. He did want to see you off though. He said he can maybe take you tomorrow."
"Okay" I said simply.
"Come on, were gonna be late if we don't leave now" she said starting to push me towards the door.

I entered my first class and everyone looked at me like I was an alien. They were aliens to me. It was nothing like school in Minnesota. As much as they were looking at me oddly, it was with curiousity.
My first class was music so all the 'alternate' kids were here. You had the moody, brooding type singers, that either wrote lyrics or quietly played piano. The loud, funny ones that would bang on anything that would make noise. And then you had the guitarists that would playfully strum their guitars or be full on head banging as they played along to a song.
The teacher looked up to my entrance and smiled.
She looked like one of those pin-up girl models, with tattoos covering her hands and what I could see of her arms. Her bright purple and black hair was pinned back to reveal her five millimeter stretches and other ear piercings, as well as the Medusa piercing.
"You must be Seth... Mora? Right?" She questioned.
"...Yeah..." I didn't realise I was enrolled under CC's name. "Sorry, I didn't realise I had my step dad's name" I apologised.
"That's okay. Well, I'm Ms Clarke and welcome to my class. What do you play?"
"Uhh, I play guitar."
"Awesome. Well cause you're joining us mid semester everyone is working on their projects. You're welcome to pick the other students brains and see where they are at or you can show me what you got and I'll figure something out for you. How long have you been playing?" she said brightly.
"A couple of years. I was getting lessons at my old school and will continue getting lessons from here or from my step dad or from his friends" I said casually.
"Oh, your step dad plays guitar?" She asked curiously.
"Um not really. He's actually a drummer."
Her face went somewhere for a moment then lit up like a light bulb.
"Mora... As in Coma Mora.... As Christian Coma Mora... Oh my God, I didn't realise you're CC's step son!" She always screamed, making a few of the students heads turn. "I have the perfect person for you to work with. You'd probably meet sooner or later anyways."
She started pulling me towards a boy with light brown hair that was sort on the top and shaved around the sides.
"Liam, I want you to meet Seth. Seth plays guitar as well, maybe you could help him out?" She asked him politely.
Liam looked up from his guitar and stared at me. "Sure" he said simply.
"Great! I'll be back to check on you in a bit" Ms Clarke said then walked away.
"Is she always like that?" I asked Liam.
"Yeah. It gets annoying especially in the mornings when you don't feel like being cheery yet. It's very tiring."
"I can imagine. So... I'm guessing she introduced me to you cause you're Kellin Quinn's step son, yeah?"
"Yep. Lead singer of Sleeping With Sirens, Kellin Quinn Bostwick. Me and Rowan go by Bostwick, it's less recogniseable."
"Yeah, I'm apparently Seth Mora now... My mom didn't even tell me she changed my last name" I complained.
"Don't sound so betrayed, it's the best thing going into a family that lives and breathes music. Kellin is honestly the best. So... Mora? That's CC from Black Veil Brides?" He asked.
"Yeah, he's pretty cool. I got to meet his band mates too and they are gonna try and give me guitar lessons."
"Nice. Soon enough you'll be caught up to us. Don't worry, I've got your back" Liam smiled.
"Thanks. I've got yours" I said and he held out his knuckles for me to fist bump him.

Notes

I know, I know. I haven't updated in a while...
And I know that Kellin's step son isn't 11, but he's around that age. So for the stories sake, he is the same age as Seth and they live in California.
But yeah....
