Gerard's POV
After apologizing to everyone, we decided to meet up at Bob’s place tomorrow, as he only lived an hour away. I walked inside and sat down on the couch, next to Danni; she had been crying.
“What the hell was that all about?” I asked after a few moments of silence. Danni just shook her head.
“I don’t know... I don’t know why I over reacted like that. It’s just...” she sighed. “She just really embarrassed me in front of everyone. And I didn’t mean to say all of that stuff.” She started crying again, burying her head in her hands.
I saw Nikki peering from around the corner, her face still red. “Danni...” she whispered. “Come talk to me.”
Danni slowly rose, following her sister back to their room.
When they were out of sight, I leaned back against the couch and closed my eyes. These girls would be the death of me. I really hoped they wouldn’t fight like that all the time. After a few seconds, I felt a hand on my shoulder and someone sit down beside me on the couch. I opened my eyes to see Frank.
He smiled, “They’ll get over it. You should know. You fought with Mikey all the time, and now you two are inseparable.”
I laughed, “I really hope you’re right.”
“Well, I don’t hear any yelling from them yet, so I’m going to assume they’re working it out. Nikki loves Danni more than anything else in the world. She could never stay mad at Danni.” Frank grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I leaned closer to him, resting my head in his neck.

Danni
My dad held open the door to their dressing room for me and Nikki to walk through. We had worked everything out the other night, and I was happy to be on my sister’s good side again. I explained to her my feelings, as did she. We talked about tons of other things, like her feeling for Dustin, and why she was so upset on having to leave him in a few weeks because we were moving. I was pretty upset as well, because I broke up with Cori not too long ago. We were working on our friendship though so it wasn’t all bad.
I sat down on one of the couches in the room, and waited for the others to get here. We came early, so dad and Frank could introduce us to the crew. They were all really nice, and welcomed us to the family.
I watched as dad and Frank put on their jackets and boots. Dad walked over to me, smiling as he sat down next to me.
“So, you guys want to stay off to the sides, or do you want to be in with the crowd?” he said, tying his boots.
“I don’t know about Danni, but I don’t want to be crushed to death.” Nikki laughed from the chair across from us. I laughed and agreed.
Not soon after, Uncle Mikey came through the door, along with a woman about my size. She was very pretty, and I had a feeling I knew who she was.
“Nikki, Danni, I want to introduce you to your Aunt Alicia, my wife,” my Uncle Mikey smiled. I stood up, and Nikki and I walked over to them. She wrapped her arms around the both of us.
“It’s so nice to have other girls in the family,” she said to us. “I’m happy you guys are here now.”
“Me too,” Nikki and I said in unison.
About an hour later, it was time to for them to play. Dad pulled Nikki and I behind him and explained that they do this before every show. Two lines formed, and everybody started high fiveing each other. After that, we walked to where they guys entered, and where we would be standing.
“I love you guys,” dad said, pulling Nikki and myself into a hug.
“I love you too,” Nikki and I said. The house lights dimmed, and the crowd started cheering. My heart was pounding as I watched them walk onto the stage. Nikki intertwined her arm with mine, smiling at me.
“I can’t believe we’re actually here right now.” I almost couldn’t contain my excitement.
Nikki nodded, “I would have never guessed we would ever see them. This is amazing.”
“I really hope they play Vampires will Never Hurt You. It’s my favorite song..” Turns out, that’s what they opened with.
In Portland, Oregon
“We’re here!” my dad said from the front seat. We drove the 16 hours across the country from Queens to Portland. I shook Nikki from her sleep as we pulled into the driveway. The moving van was already here, all we had to do was move in.
I pulled off my seat belt, and stepped out of the car. Looking around, I noticed it was almost like home. A very quiet neighborhood, with not too busy streets.
“What do you think?” Frank asked as he opened the door to the house.
I shook my head, “It’s just like home.” Nikki agreed with me. We all walked into the house, stepping into the living room, that was a little bigger than the old house’s.
“I call the basement,” my dad said. Nikki and I looked at each other, before running upstairs. Both of the rooms looked the same, but I took the the one on the left.
We went back downstairs to start unloading the van, seeing that dad and Frank had already brought in part of the couch. I walked outside, and saw Nikki standing in the middle of the yard, staring at something.
Going over to here, I asked her what she was looking at. “...hot guys...” she said in a quiet voice. I looked to where she was looking, and noticed them. One was a pretty tall guy, in black sweat pants and a wife beater. He had dark brown hair that almost seemed to glisten in the sun. The other guy was a little shorter, but not by much. He had on grey pants, and a black and yellow striped shirt. His hair was side-swept, and the same glistening color as the other guy’s.
“Wow...” I heard from beside me. I looked over and saw Frank. He just laughed and winked at me before heading back to the van.
Nikki pushed me out of the way, just before a football hit close to where we were standing. I looked up to see the guys jogging towards us.
“Sorry!” the taller guy said as he reached us. I bent down and picked up the football, and then tossed it to him.
“You must be our new neighbors. I’m Ryan, and this is my brother, Brenden. It’s nice to have some new people around.” The taller one said. Ryan, that was such a cute name.
Nikki laughed, “Yes, I’m Nikki, and this is my sister Danni. It’s nice to meet you. And over there doing all the heavy lifting is our dad Gerard, and the shorter one is Frank.” They waved at each other.
“Are they... together?” Brenden asked.
“Yea,” I said chuckling.
“Ah, what a relief. It’s so good not to be the only one around here...” Brenden said. We all laughed.
“Well, I have to get ready for work, but it was nice meeting you. If you guys need any help, or anything, one of us is always home.” Ryan said, turning and walking away.
“Okay, thanks!” Nikki said, with a dazed look in her eye. “He’s freaking hot!” she said, turning to me with a smile on her face.
“Yes, I noticed that as well.” I laughed at her, ogling over Ryan.
