Cherry: New Beginnings.

I Didn't Understand.

A/N: Violet chapter coming next!!!

THEO'S POV:

    My hands sweat against my steering wheel as I turn down the street towards uncle Mitch's house. I see her eyes. She's completely in shock right now, and I guess I never really realize how money looks.. I also never really think about how much our families have. I keep watching her, and I don't know what her thoughts are or how she's feeling at all right now. I don't know how to even ask either so I just sit here nervously, gripping my steering wheel tight.

    "So... Your uncle Mitch..." She speaks out casually. "Is he... Famous?" She asks carefully, trying not to make me uncomfortable.

    "He's.. I mean yeah kind of. Him and my Aunt Sarah." I agree.

    "Are they your mom or dad's side?" She asks, and I shrug.

    "Both.. I mean, they're not my blood aunt and uncle.. They. Okay, let me just start from the beginning. Mitch, and Sarah were the drummer and guitarist for my dad when he was in his prime.. They worked closely with my mom Darlene, or if you ask him, they call her Cherry.. Anyway, they all worked on my dad's team, and were close with him before my mom branched out and started her own music.. They were incredibly close and now they're basically family.. I only have one real aunt. Her name is Gemma, that's on my dad's side. My mom didn't have any siblings." I tell her, and she nods slowly taking it all in.

    "Okay so I'm meeting world famous musicians today? Cool." She nods, trying to stay calm.

    "If it makes you feel any better Mitch isn't here right now, he's traveling with my dad and my sister." I tell her, dancing around that.

    "Didn't I meet your sister a few weeks ago? What made her want to travel?" She asks.

    "She graduated, and she was going through some stuff which I'm sure you could tell that much.. My parents decided after hearing that song she recorded during your studio time-"

    "That was a good song." She chimes in, and I nod in agreement.

    "Well she's really good at writing, and singing.. But anyway, my parents decided it was best for her to get away from the problem.." I tell her, and she nods.   

    "What gave them that idea?" She asks, and I shrug.

    "I'm not really sure.. I guess they knew my sister felt out of place so they helped her leave.. Though I don't know why they didn't just take her to another city instead of another country all together.." I talk to myself too, working through some of my own confusion. I look to the side at El as we pull up to Dani's house, and she looks completely thrown off right now. "I know this might be a lot.. If you want to go somewhere else instead of hanging out with them I'll completely understand.. I don't want you to feel-"

    "No, don't be ridiculous.. I guess when I met you in the studio I had never imagined that you were.. I mean I thought you were some intern that got lucky.. I didn't think.. I didn't know that this was just your life.. I'll get used to it, I just need to adjust." She laughs lightly, and I nod.

    "Fair warning.. Dani is incredibly blunt.. She's sweet, and funny, but she will tell you how it is, she's just like my uncle Mitch." I tell her, and she nods.

    "Do you think she'll like me?" She asks, and I nod.

    "I think you two will get along really well actually.. But she's going to embarrass me, so.. I've prepared myself.. Just be ready for her to overshare about my life." I sigh, and Eloise laughs, her smile making my chest tighten. I look away because I don't want her to catch her staring, and I get out of the car, moving quickly to her side. I help her down from the car, and she stands next to me, her hand lingering in mine. She's short, or maybe I'm tall...
