Welcome to the Family, Adrian!
Chapter Twelve
After we got lunch, it was 2:30. The car was silent except for some music playing in the background.
"So," My dad started. "What are you going to do once we get home?"
"I'm going to...." I trailed off in my thought, 'what am I going to do?'
"Do nothing?"
"Yeah, probably. Or just sit on my butt and watch TV"
"Oh, even better! Can I join you?"
"Why not?"
"Sweet!"
I nodded in agreement as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and texted Alex.
-Hey, you wanna come over and chill?-Adrian
-Sure, tell me when to head over there-Alex
-Alrighty will do <3-Adrian
-<3-Alex
"Is it alright id Alex comes over too?" I asked, putting my phone on my lap.
"Sure, tell your other friends too, we'll have a big band practice together. How does that sound?"
"That sounds great!"
We pulled into the driveway five minutes later. I jumped out and ran into the house as I pulled my phone out.
-Get your asses over here now-Adrian
-Why? Did something happen?-Alex
-No, we're gonna have a band practice with Avenged Sevenfold, now get over here!-Adrian
-OMW!-Bailey
-On it!-Nick
-See ya guys soon!-Adrian
Ten minutes later, the door burst open, revealing an excited looking Jimmy.
"ADRIAANN!!!!" He yelled and ran over to me.
"JIMMYYYY!!" I yelled back
He ran over to me and picked me up into a bear hug.
"Jimmy, as much as I love your hugs. I do need to breathe," I choked out.
"Oh, sorrry," He put me down.
Matt, Zack, and Johnny all arrived at the same time. Five minutes later Alex, Bailey, and Nick arrived.
Alex came over to me and gave mt the biggest hug and a quick kiss. I heard a chorus of 'awe's from around the room.
"Let's go down to the studio!" Jimmy called as he marched down to the basement. My dad, Matt, Zack, and Johnny followed. Bailey, Nick, and Alex stayed behind for a minute.
"So, are you guys like, officially going out now?" Bailey questioned as she made her way to the basement door.
"Yeah," Alex answered, he grabbed my and and intertwined our fingers.
"I knew this would happen!" Nick shoved a fist in the air triumphantly.
We walked down the stairs, I saw Zacky admiring my guitar.
"Hey, syn, when did you get this?" Zack asked as he held up the guitar.
"Actually," I pipped in. "That's my guitar. I got it a couple days ago."
"Oh really? I didn't know you could play," Zack started. "And, I see it's left handed."
"Yeah, I'm a right handed writer, left handed guitar player," I chuckled at how silly that sounded.
"Well," My dad injected. "Shall we get started on this practice?"
"Hell yeah!" Bailey yelled.
The Avenged guys practiced some new songs they are writing, as for me and my band. We don't really have any songs to call ours, we just cover songs. I decided to practice my Second Heartbeat solo.
"Shit!" I yelled when I messed up again. "I can't fucking get the solo!"
"Adrian, here, watch," Zack said and started to play the solo, almost flawlessly.
"Zack, you're a guitarist extraordinaire like my dad," I said. "You make me so fucking jealous."
"Well, did you see what I did there?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Just do what I did, you'll get it," He said, then returned to watching.
I played it how he showed me and I got it.
"Zack! You're like a miracle worker!" I yelled and ran over to give him a hug.
"Hey, what can I say?" He joked
We practiced some more and the Avenged guys told us some stories about when they were our age.
It came to be 10:30 and I was almost falling asleep on Alex's shoulder. We were all watching Matt record some vocal tracks for a new song. I ended up falling asleep.
About 20 minutes after I had fallen asleep, I got picked up. I opened my eyes to see Alex carrying me up the stairs.
"What time is it?" I asked sleepily.
"It's 10:50, you fell asleep," He replied.
"Well no shit, sherlock."
He got to my room and opened my door.
"Alex, I don't want to sleep," I said as he put me on my bed.
"Too bad, you need to. School starts tomorrow," he said sitting down next to me.
"Shit, really?"
"Yeah," He said back. "I got to go. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, night," I said as he leaned down for a hug. "I love you."
"Love you, too" He replied back, he kissed me, then left.
"So," My dad started. "What are you going to do once we get home?"
"I'm going to...." I trailed off in my thought, 'what am I going to do?'
"Do nothing?"
"Yeah, probably. Or just sit on my butt and watch TV"
