The little angel on my shoulder told me I should stop drinking about three hours ago, but she fell off every time I reached for the whiskey bottle. I found a cozy leather chair and sat back watching the room spin away before me.

" Come with me to the bathroom" Val yelled to me over the music. I slid my butt to the edge of the chair, ending up with her having to help me up. Since at this moment getting out of a chair was too much of a task apparently. Michelle caught up to us as we all piled in the hall bathroom.

" Girl talk!!" I heard someone sing. I turned to see jimmy behind us waving his hands excitedly in the air. At this point we were all drunk and didn't care if he was there while we all took turns peeing.

" So little missy, Brian told me your little secret" Michelle squealed. I just stared up at her with my mouth open as I sat on the toilet just out of pure laziness.

" oh snap girl!" Jimmy yelled in his best girl impression. Snapping his fingers once in the air while he sat up on the counter.

" oh, I know what it is!" Val cheered.

" I do too, you wanna sex up zacky" jimmy said blandly, like it was obvious. Geez what was this? Gossip central...

" I'm gonna kill Brian!!" I growled as I stood up from the toilet. I seemed to have forgotten that my shorts were still around my ankles as I went to take my first step. Which in turn sent me head first into the laundry basket and my left shoe flying off into the tub. I heard the three of them erupt in laughter as I did too from the laundry basket. I felt two long arms snake around my waist, pulling me out.

" Ya, you are definitely related to us. Don't feel bad that's mild compared to some of the nights we've had" Michelle chuckled as Val pulled my shorts back up. We all left the bathroom and headed back out to the party, that was still going strong despite the fact that it was already three in the morning. I stepped out onto the back patio and put a cigarette to my lips. I lit it as I looked around, momentarily forgetting my plan to kill Brian until I spotted him in the pool. I marched over to the edge of the pool, standing with my hands on my hips waiting for Brian to notice me.

" Hey Bella bear" he cooed once he saw me. He pushed himself out of the pool and stood before me, his body dripping. I didn't have time to address his little nickname for me right now, I had more Important business to tend to. I reached out grabbing his left nipple, twisting it.

" Owwww!" He shouted, his hand flying up to cover it.

" What was that for! And why do you only have one shoe on!" He shouted, at first confused ending amused as he looked down seeing my lack of footwear.

" Why are you telling everyone that I "want" zacky?!" I said as low as possible.

" oh don't even! I saw you eye fucking him! And I only told family" he said sticking his tongue out at me. He was so freakin hard headed!

" I was not eye fucking zacky!!" I said now shouting. I saw Brian's eyes grow wide as he looked behind me. I didn't even want to look, I already knew what Brian's look meant. It meant zacky was right behind me and heard what i said. I turned to run into the house when I felt zacky grab my arm stopping me infront of him. I should have listened to the little angelon my shoulder earlier, because two seconds later I threw up, spewing it all over zackys shirt.

" That was so fucking sweet, like some excorcist shit!" I heard jimmy yell from across the yard. I slapped my hand to my mouth as I ran into the house and up the stairs to one of the bedrooms. I wasn't sure whose it was but I just wanted to hide and possibly die after what just happened.


The next morning I woke up groaning as I stretched. I put my hands to my face to rub my eyes when I realized I had sunglasses on.

" ya your going to need those" I sat up in the bed seeing Val smiling at me from her bathroom. My expression turned to horror when I remembered that I threw up on zacky last night. Today we were going to our grandparents house for lunch so I could meet the rest of the family. I dragged my body out of the bed and joined Val in the bathroom.

" You have fun?" She chuckled, wrapping her arm around my shoulders.

" I am so embarrassed! I really know how to make a first impression....." I groaned, looking at my disheveled hair and smeared lipstick in the mirror.

" Honey, you have nothing to be embarrassed about, were all family" she said trying to soothe me. It was now that I realized how huge her bathroom really was, it was crazy!

" Your bathroom is seriously the size of my whole apartment!" I gasped out causing her to laugh.

" Well it's kind of funny you mention that, because we all wanted to talk to you about moving out here" she said looking slightly nervous. I honestly hadn't really thought that far ahead, but at the same time I really didn't have any objections either.

" I mean I don't have anyone back in New York, my family is here. I don't want to miss anymore time with you guys" I said, seeing Val's face light up immediately with my words. We decided to discuss the specifics later since we were already running late. Michelle and Brian had already left to head to the lunch leaving me, Val and Matt the last to arrive. It went as excpected, a lot of people, a lot of tears. But I wouldn't have changed a second of it, it was so great to finally have my family.

" ok, ok one of just the girls" Debbie shouted, arranging everyone around as we took a slew of family photos out in the backyard. I stood in between Val and Michelle as flashes came from every angle.

" ok Matt and Brian get on in there, but stagger it out, boy then girl" Debbie directed as Matt and Brian made their way over. I took advantage of the slight break in between photos to rub my aching cheeks from smiling so much. I was now on the end with Brian right next to me as he swung his arm around my lower back.

" Say cheese" nick shouted as he got down on one knee for a better angle. At that moment I felt Brian's hand slyly slide from my lower back to my ass, squeezing it gently. I slightly jumped in surprise causing everyone to look at me.

" Sorry, a mosquito was on my leg" I smiled as I lied right through my teeth. I could see Brian out of the corner of my eye fighting off a shit eating grin. As we took the last few pictures I could see the other guys walking out into the back yard from the house. My heart dropped when I saw zacky amongst them, I didn't know he was going to be here.....
