***CARRESSA'S P.O.V***

It was good to be back with everyone. I missed the boys. They had grown to be my family , and not one made up of imaginary people like when I was little. I laughed at the thought , I still some how remembered them.



A mom , with a flower print and red high heels , her hair and make up always done perfectly. She did all the cooking and cleaning. But she also loved me and Ashley the very best. When there was a thunder storm , or I had a nightmare , she used to lay in bed with me and Ashley , singing us soft loving songs until we fell asleep.



And there was a dad , he was very handsome. He always came home right before supper , he would eat with us then come outside to play before bathes. Not caring about how dirty his suit would get. The mom would hustle us in , joking about how she has three children , instead of two and a husband. Our dad would bathe us , but mostly played with the toys in the tub. He would read us our favorite bedtime stories and right before we would fall asleep he would kiss our forehead telling us he loved us.



There was also a dog , who did you know , dog things. It was the very best family. I laugh sighed and sat on my bed. I was walking Austin around trying to get away from the party , I mean I love the guys but they're a rodeo. Austin had got distracted at the music room Jinxx had wondered in so I left them to play. I glanced at the alarm clock on my bedside table. It read 4:30 P.M , I glanced outside , theres no way it could be right. I thought about it for hours until Austin came in. He sat on the bed beside me and wrapped his arms around my waist , nuzzling his face into my neck.



"What are you thinking about?" He asked with no emotion to his voice.



"Honestly. I'm trying to figure out why the fuck it's dark out but the clock says it's only four!" I yelled sarcastically , throwing my hands over my head.



Austin started laughing , letting me go. He crawled up the bed and laid against the head board. HE crossed his ankles and looked over at me.



"We've been gone a year and a half. Who knows how many time changes that things missed." My expression went serious. Oh my god , I'm such an idiot.



"You're fucking kidding me! I'm so stupid!" I face-palmed and started laughing.



Austin did too , I loved his laugh , it was so manly and deep , but still had a childish twang to it. The door downstairs opened , hmm , that's weird I thought everyone was here. Austin looked at me confused , he must have heard it too. We walked down the hall , and to the railing over looking the living room. What I seen made me shudder. That isn't who I think it is! They weren't due back for 4 more months. My body started shuddering , it must have been visible because Austin put his arm around my shoulder.



"Who are they?" Austin whispered in my ear. I Gripped the railing , so hard my knuckles went white.



"My parents." I muttered.



***ASHLEY'S P.O.V.***



Carressa , Austin , Jake , Jinxx , CC , Sammi , and my beautiful boyfriend Andy. All together again. I missed everyone so much. It was good to finally be together again. I missed them so much , it had been only a month , we get all of December off , and then we go back on tour , a couple more stops , Warped and we're done.



I lived living with Any , we took break to move my stuff to his place , and get used to each others living habits. Andy had some strange habits. But I did too.



Like , for example , he will only shower if he's eaten a banana first. He says it's because if people slip on banana peels as much as they do bath tubs , he thinks if he strips a banana of its peel and throws the peel in the bathroom garbage for the tub to see , the tub will get discouraged so it won't let him slip.



Or the fact you are not allowed , under any circumstance to sleep threw Bat-Man. That's really hard too , because every Saturday morning , at 6A.M , they play three episodes of the classic Bat-Man in a row. And if you do sleep threw them you are shunned for the rest of the day. It's kind of cute actually , the fact he sticks to his childhood roots so much. On those days , when I don't sleep threw , I don't really watch the show , I watch him. Light up and smile the entire time , as if he were in a trance.



I smiled at the thought , Andy was cuddling into my chest on the couch. He looked up just in time to see the smile spread. I looked down at him , he smiled back at me.



"What are you thinking about?" He asked emotionless , but with curious eyes.



I bent down and touched his nose with mine , the guys 'Awwwe-ed' and Sammi gave me the "Do-It-Do-IT-Now!!" look , I just ignored her.



"You!" I said in a baby voice. He blushed and looked back to the game of Connect-4 he was playing with CC.



I heard Carressa and Austin laughing upstairs , that made me smile too. That guy is crazy about her , and she's just as crazy about him. Austin moved into the house with Carressa , and planned on living here permanently. I say this with confidence because I know they're gonna last. It's like they were formed for each other.



I heard a car pull into the driveway , I turned my head to the window but couldn't see because of how Andy was snuggled to me. I did a head count after , five down here counting myself , 2 in Carressa's room , and 1 in the music room. That's everyone. I wonder who could be here.



My question was answered when the door opened. A familiar face popped in , with a frown permanently twisted on her face. He dark brown eyes hard accompanied by the bags and wrinkles under her eyes. Mom?!



And following her was a short fat man.With drooping brown eyes , his lips a hard pressed line under his thick brown mustache. His tuxedo and hat with a feather was what made his recognizable. For he always wore them. Dad?!



They stood frozen the door way not knowing what to say. My moms eyes scanned the room , then landed coldly on mine. Her faced flushed red with anger , Andy jumped off me and threw me a panicked look.



"What is this?!" My father boomed. Making all my fri-family jump.



"It's a family you fat fuck! Oh wait! You wouldn't know what the hell a family was if it slapped you in the face!" Carressa yelled back from the railing looking onto the living room.



She shook Austin's hand off of her and came down the stairs , Austin following a step behind her. Carressa stood fearless in front of Mom and Dad. I don't know how she did it though. Honestly I felt like I was going to piss myself.



***CARRESSA'S P.O.V***

"Watch your tone girl. I am your father! And this isn't , this is a room full of little emo boys!" My father scoffed in my face.



"Don't tell me to watch my tone you bastard! And these amazing people are my family! And they are a better family then you have ever been ! And will be!" I yelled back.



"Oh. How so? Did they clothe you? Or house you?" My mother said in a purr voice , sure she just won this augment. But oh how she was wrong.



I smirked and walked over to Ashley , putting a hand on my his shoulder.



"No , they didn't. But he did. He payed the mortgage. He bought the food. He lent me money for cloths. Sure he did it with your money , but I didn't see you coming back to pay mortgages , if Ashley didn't figure it out we would have been homeless , not that you would care. This man spent his entire youth raising me to be a good strong person! He took care of me when I was sick , and bailed me out of jail twice , but kept me out of it more then that. We made an unbreakable bound. And I thank you for leaving us stranded , because if you didn't I never would have had the relationship with him if you hadn't.!" I smiled and looked at Ashley , he had tears in his eyes. I moved on to Andy , before we both started crying.



"And this gazelle right here is Andy , he's protected me better then anyone else! This one time , a huge , and I mean muscle every where guy tried to take me from a bar we were at. Andy seen , he got really pissed and beat the shit out of him! No one would have ever guessed such a small guy could do that." I poked Andy in the ribs causing him to laugh , he's extremely ticklish.

I sat in between CC and Jinxx , wrapping my arms around them.



"And these two are CC and Jinxx. They are like my two other big brothers! They always always know how to make me laugh! Even on the worst of days , they can have me in a good moo forgetting all the bad stuff in seconds." I kissed both there cheeks and sat on Sammi's lap.



"And this beauty right here is Sammi! She's like the big sister I never had! I can count on her to keep a secret. She's always there and ready to talk when I feel horrible. We gossip and hang out ends on ends. She makes me happy." She hugged me tight.



I looked Jake in the eye , a small smile tracing his lips.



"And Jake. My little Jake-y. He is a way , did feed me I guess. No matter what time of day or night , if he's busy or not , he'll make me food. Whatever I ask , but it's always the best! I'd prefer him over a restaurant any day!" I five fived Jake and walked back to my parents. I folded my arms infront of my chest. I pierced my eyes with my moms then my dads , daring them to say something. Do it , say something.



My fathers glance reached Austin , who stalked in the backround. He knew the way I felt about my parents. I guess he wanted to make sure nothing got out of hand.



"Him?" My father said still looking at Austin.



"Him? Oh , you mean Austin , well what can I say about Austin. He's not family , he's more , he's like my other half. HE completes me , I love everything about him. His smile , his laugh , his eyes , the way he twitched his nose when he's uncomfortable , or the way he bites his lip when her really want to say something. He makes me better , and keeps me sane. I can't even remember life without him , other than the fact it was Hell. And I don't want to picture a future without him. I need him. Like fish need water and humans need air. I love him. I love you."



I hugged Austin tight , my family , my real family 'Awwe-d' when my 'parent's stayed quiet. A hot blush run across my cheeks , this was the first time I told him I loved him. And it was infront of everyone. Austin cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. Electricity over came my body. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he moved his hands to my waist. Finally I pulled away , seeing Andy and Ashley doing the same.



"Carressa I - "



"Ashley thats enough! I will not house faggots! Cut that out this instant! You know bett-"



"SHUT UP DAD! Ashley is in loooooooove! You can't just turn that off!" I snapped. at my 'father'.



"He can if it's a sin." My mother said in the same purr , sure she won this time.



"To each there own. Jesus is love , threw and threw , and if a male fall in love with a male , or female and female , or male and female , it is still love. And thats what Jesus is. Andy and Ashley are not sinners , they are lovers." Austin spat at my mother.



HE was very religious , and did not hold back when someone used it as an excuse. My mother and father stared and Austin blankly. A smirk played with his lips , but he didn't allow it to spread. I wish he would though.



Andy pulled Ashley into another kissed. My mother stormed out of the house , murmuring something about faggots and disrespect. My father followed her , and the car took off. EVeryone cheered.



"How about drinks?! I know I need one!" Ashley spoke up. Everyone agreed with him and the party went on as planned.



I headed for the kitchen , but Austin grabbed my by the wrist and pulled me back to him , our bodies touched lightly.



"CArressa , I love you too." I red hot blush came across my cheeks , he didn't have to say anymore , or any less for me to believe him. I knew everything about this mans body language and I knew he was telling the truth. I kissed him lightly and passionately.



We went into the kitchen and everyone took a single shot. "Cheers! To family!" we all chanted slapping out glasses together then took them. I slipped my hand in Austin's pocket taking out his phone. The time was 9:30PM



"Guys , if we're gonna make it to that dance on time we have to start getting ready like , now , and that only gives us half an hour. Boys to Ashley's OLD room and Sammi , to mine." I took Sammi's hand and we marched up the stairs.



Tonight will be amazing!
