Welcome to the Family, Adrian!
Chapter One
*Adrian's POV*
"Adrian! Come here please!" my foster mom, Stella, called from the bottom of the stairs.
"UHG, alright," I groaned, not wanting to get up. "What do you want?"
"Adrian, you know that Valary and I have been trying to find your dad for quite a while now," Stella said, I nodded. "Well, we have found him, but he's out of the country right now."
"So, how is him being out of the country going to help me? I'm not going to fly to some random guys house, run in and yell 'DADDY!' and hug him," I replied with a sarcastic tone.
"Well, that's not going to happen. He's actually flying back now. Just because he wants to meet his only kid." Stella said back, with a bit of frustration.
"Okay, well, tell me when he's here. I gotta go to band practice. I'll be back by nine," I said and ran to get my guitar and phone.
I texted my band members telling them there was an 'emergency' band practice, I only had an hour since it's already eight at night. Out band is called Rift and we have onlt been together for about a year.
I walked over to Alex's house, which was only about five minutes away. We always have band practice here because his parents are the only ones who believe we can make it big time and actually have a chance to be famous.
"Adrian!" I heard Nick, our drummer, call as he ran into the garage. "You better not be telling us you're quitting the band!" He yelled as he picked me up into a hug.
"No, why would i quit a band like this?" I asked, laughing a little. "I have amazing news for you guys." Everybody looked at me and Nick put me down so I could talk. I swallowed nervously. "My dad was found."
"OH MY GOD!!!" Bailey, out rhythm guitarist, yelled. "WHO IS HE? WHERE IS HE?"
I laughed at her enthusiasm, "I don't know hsi name or even anything about him. All i know is he was out of the country but, he's on his way back now."
"So, you're just going to start living with some guy? Who you know nothing about?" Alex asked tentativey.
Alex and Nick have always been very protective over me since the last time a saw my mom. She pushed me down a flight of stairs, drunk like she always was, and almost broke my arm. I ended up running over to Alex's house and his mom called the cops on my mom. Bailey doesn't know that, yet, since she has only been our friend for three years.
"No, I'm going to ask Stella and Valary if I can meet up with him a couple times before I actually start living with him. So I can get to know him a bit better," I said, reassuringly.
"How come, whenever anything like this happens," Bailey started. "You guys always act kind of protective?" she motioned toward Nick and Alex.
"Because," I started to explain. " When I was ten, mom would always come home, drunk off her ass, and would just hit me, for no reason at all. Nick and Alex have been here through thick and thin," I finished explaining.
"Well then, why are you in a foster home?" She questioned.
"She hit my really hard at the top of the stairs one night. I fell down, almost breaking my arm," I started to tear up. "I ran to Alex's house, his mom called the cops after I had explained what happened. His mom took me to the hospital to make sure i was okay. My mo was arrested and she had her rights to see me or talk to me taken away. Once Nick found out about this, he and Alex promised me they wouldn't let anything bad happen to me, ever again," I couldn't hold back the tears. Alex came over to me and pulled me into a hug. I just cried into his shoulder.
"I wasn't always like this though, once I turned 13, I started to act out a little bit at a time. I also got my peircings," I explained.
"Were you some sort af a goodie-goodie?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah, she was," Alex answered before I could open my mouth
My phone started to ring but, before I could grab it, ALex was already answering it.
"Hello?" He said into the phone.
"Where's Adrian? She was supposed to be home 30 minutes ago." Stella said angrily.
"I'm right here," I said into the phone. "I'm sorry I'm not home yet. Me and the band got caught up in practicing. I'll be there soon." I lied, everybody else started chuckling quietly.
"9:45," Stella said before I hung up.
"I guess this means you've got to go, huh?" Nick asked.
"Yeah," I replied pulling myself from Alex's grip. "See ya guys later," I said as I walked out of Alex's garage.
"Bye," Bailey and Nick said in unison.
"Be safe, bye," Alex said, waving.
I walked home, my guitar in one hand, my phone in the other. I walked slowly, I kinda wanted to be late, I didn't want to leave Alex's house. I've always felt safe there, no matter what has happened.
"There you are, Adrian! I just got off the phone with your dad, I have more information for you," Stella explained excitedly. I nodded, telling her to continue. "Okay, well his name is Brian Haner. He is in a band, I can't remember the name. He only lives about 15 minutes that way," She pointed towards Alex's house.
That name sounds familiar. My thoughts were interrupted by Stella.
"I told him you guys could meet tomorrow for lunch since he just got back. Does that sound good?" She asked.
"Yeah but, do you think that before I move into his house, we could meet up a couple more times? Just so it's not like I'm moving in with a complete stranger."
"That could work. He will be here tomorrow at 11:30 to pick you up. I'll wake you up around eight so you have time to get ready, okay?"
"Alrighty, then I should probably sleep," I said, faking a yawn walking up to my room. I pulled out my phone and texted Alex
'Brian Haner, does that name sound familiar?'-Adrian
'Yeah but, I don't know where I've heard it'-Alex'
'Alright, thanks anyways. I won't be at practice tomorrow. I'm meeting up with my dad for lunch'-Adrian
'Okay, I'll tell the guys'-Alex
'The guys' I said in my head as i got into my pajamas. Even though Bailey is a girl, Alex called her one of 'the guys' because we were like a family.
I didn't reply to him after that, he knew that if I didn't reply, I was sleeping. I fell asleep trying to remember where I've heard the name 'Brian Haner' but, didn't get far until I passed out.
"Adrian! Come here please!" my foster mom, Stella, called from the bottom of the stairs.
"UHG, alright," I groaned, not wanting to get up. "What do you want?"
"Adrian, you know that Valary and I have been trying to find your dad for quite a while now," Stella said, I nodded. "Well, we have found him, but he's out of the country right now."
