~~~ Val's pov ~~~

" ok guys, their on their way!" I shouted to Brian and Matt from the kitchen after I received my moms text. Michelle and I ran around frantically trying to make sure everything looks perfect. Which was pretty much pointless being that our mom kept the house spotless to begin with, but it kept us busy for the time being.

" I hope for her sake your guys OCD doesn't run in the family" Brian snorted, making Michelle throw a magazine at his head.

" look guys please just act normal, I don't want to scare her off" I pleaded.

" So the strip tease is off?" Matt retorted as him and Brian busted out in laughter. I rolled my eyes and went to back to my meaningless cleaning. As nervous and Michelle and I felt I knew our Bella had to be exploding with all kinds of emotions. I just wanted to make sure she felt comfortable and welcome. I froze as I heard a car pull into the driveway, followed by three doors shutting.

" Their here!" I yelled. Michelle ran up next to me as we locked hands and took our spots in the foyer by the front door. We both took deep breaths gazing quickly at each other and then back to the door as it slowly opened.

~~~ lexa's pov ~~~

as we walked up the steps leading to the front door I felt my legs get weaker and weaker with each step. I was waiting for my knees to buckle at any moment as the anticipation crushed down on me.

" Ready sweetie?" Debbie asked. I nodded and she opened the door with nick stepping in first followed by Debbie and I. My mouth dropped open when I saw valary and Michelle standing before me. Without missing a beat they ran up to me hugging me, almost knocking me over.

" it's so good to finally have you home Bella!" I heard one of them say as I felt their bodies tremble as they cried. I probably would have cried too if I wasn't in so much shock at the moment. I couldn't believe they were my sisters, this was my family. But another thing that stuck out in my mind was that she called me Bella, was that my real name? We all seperated as a male voice cleared his throat gaining our attention. They each grabbed one of my hands as we turned in the direction of the voice. I felt like I wanted to pass out, obviously I knew that since I'm related to valary and Michelle I would meet Matt and Brian. But I was still in a state of awe as they smiled over at me. I saw Brian look down at my thigh seeing the death bat tattoo, he nudged Matt making him look as well.

" Well we were going to introduce ourselves, but I see by that tattoo on your thigh you already know who we are" Brian chuckled. Val and Michelle gave them a puzzled look as the both looked down to see what they were talking about. They both looked up at me smiling at the discovery. I still couldn't find my voice, my eyes just kept darting around from person to person.

" Oh my god! How crazy is that!" Michelle squealed. Both Brian and Matt made their way over each giving me a big hug.

" Welcome to our big crazy family kid!" Matt exclaimed as he hugged me. We headed into the dining room to eat the lunch Val and Michelle had prepared before we got here. We sat around for a couple hours at the table talking and getting to know each other better. That's when I learned that my birth name was indeed Isabella, Bella for short.

" Sorry if I slip up and call you Bella, it's just that that's all we've known you as for twenty eight years" Val said. I chuckled shaking my head.

" No worries, I know it's going to take us all a while to fully adjust" I said finally starting to relax.

" So if your up to it I thought we could have alittle get together tonight so you can meet everybody else. especially since you've already met beavis and butthead over here" Val chuckled, nodding her head in Brian and Matt's direction. Causing all of us to laugh and Matt to toss a dinner roll at Val.

" sure, I'd love that" I said feeling my insides churn with excitement. And I knew there would be alcohol more than likely, and I was way beyond ready for a drink. After we chatted a while longer we all said our goodbyes to nick and Debbie as we all piled in to Matt's SUV. I sat in the back between Michelle and Brian as metallica blared through the speakers. I laid my head back closing my eyes as I let the fresh breeze blow through my hair as we sped down the street. They say good things come to those who wait, and I smiled as I realized that the time had finally come. Not only had I gotten the loving family I always wanted, but they just happened to be connected to my favorite band of all time. We pulled up to what I assumed to be Matt and Val's house and no surprise to me it was just as gorgeous as nick and Debbie's.

" want a drink?" Val asked me once we got inside. I smiled as I saw the bar stocked full of alcohol as Val made her way over towards it.

" oh yes, please. Anything will do" I said making her chuckle at my excited response to alcohol. She poured everybody a glass of jäger and redbull and handed them out as we all sat on the couches.

" This is my favorite" I beamed taking a big gulp of the drink.

" Yep, your definitely our sister" Michelle cheered, giving me a high five. I quickly downed my drink, in which Val already had another one made waiting for me.

" so who's your favorite?" Brian blurted out. I gave him a puzzled look not sure what he meant.

" you know in the band, who's your favorite?" He asked again. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as he kept his glare on me waiting for my answer.

" All of you are my favorite!" I said shooting him a smile. I hoped he would leave it at that, but I knew better.

" Oh no don't give me that shit, which one of us did you wanna bang? Everyone has their favorite, ya know the one you wanna grind up on" he said bringing his beer up to his lips as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I was mid sip of my drink when he made his statement causing me to spit my drink out everywhere.

" Brian!" Michelle gasped in horror, smacking his chest. We all erupted in laughter at the situation as the alcohol began to numb out inhabitions.

An hour after we had gotten here people started to pile in the house. I finally met jimmy, Johnny and zacky, as well as a ton of their other long time friends. An even mix of classic rock and heavy metal blared trough the house as everyone socialized and drank. I was caught off guard when the last song ended and transitioned into Justin bieber. I turned to see Matt standing at the stereo just staring at me with an odd expression, like he was trying to see inside my mind. I scrunched my eyebrows and shot him a disgusted glare.

" What the fuck is this shit?!" I yelled over the music to him. I saw his face relax as a huge smile framed his face, almost like a look of relief as he switched the music back.

"don't mind him, he was testing you. he was worried you might have bieber fever" Val chuckled in my ear as she stood behind me. I laughed, now understanding why he did what he did. I nodded my head to the music as I sipped my drink and looked around the room. My eyes landed on zacky, beautiful zacky. In my drunken daze I didn't even care that I was probably staring at him like a total creeper while he chatted with a group of guys. I looked over slightly to the left and caught Brian looking at me chuckling as he drank his beer. I guess he finally got his answer to his earlier question. I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment that I had been caught as Brian walked over to me.

" So it's zacky huh? Good choice, hell I'd bang him too. Too bad though, I was hoping you were going to say it was me" he whispered in my ear as he stood next to me. his comment stunned me, that he suggested it was too bad he wasn't the one I wanted to fuck. He shot me a wink as he made his way over to talk with some other people. The words ran over and over in my head. But I decided to just shrug it off, he probably was just joking with me anyways. Besides he was married to my sister, what would he want with me.
