To The Stage - An Asking Alexandria Fanfic-

Chapter Twenty-Two

"Your grandmother is amazing."

"That she is. Do you wanna meet the rest of the family? I'm sure they're still home."

"The rest?"

"Oh yeah. This entire section of the town is owned by my family. And I'm the next in line to inherit this house."

"What about your mom?"

I bit my lip. Was I really going to tell them this? Yes. I was. "My mom is disowned. I'm the only one my gma talks to out of my moms children."

"Why?"

"It's a long story. My family doesn't believe in divorce. We take 'till death do you part' very seriously. The only ways that a husband and wife spilt in my family is either death or by case of insanity. And in the four thousand years that my family has been around, there have been two cases of insanity. The rest were death. Well, my mother has been divorced twice. The first time my gma allowed because my father was disrespectful to my gma. She wasn't happy about the divorce but it was allowed. The second time though was un excusable. My gma disowned her within two days."

"Wooow." Ben's tone was one of holy shit.

"What were the two cases?"

"One was back in the 1800s and her husband practiced witchcraft. He was burned at the stake. The other was in 1999 when my uncle kept saying he could see satan. He's in an insane asylum on the edge of the water."

"Woah." I nodded.

"Who's the rest of the family?"

"There's my Uncle Xavier down the road with his wife and three kids. Aunt Layn is probably at the opera house. I mean they'll come visit us eventually because they'll want to see me."

"They can come to us."

"Bums." They laughed and I got up to go get something to drink. "You guys want anything to drink?"

"JENN!!" I put the glass on the counter and walked back in the living room. There growling was my sheep dog Alex. I whistled and he came running. I squated down and he licked my face.

"What are you doing? Hm? Are you patronizing my guests? Be nice." I scratched behind his ear and he barked. "Don't argue with me." He wimpered and sat down. "Good boy." I got up and George had an amused look on his face.

"What?"

"Did you just talk to your dog?"

"Yes. You should see me with the horses."

"Horses?"

"That's it, grand tour. Get off your asses." They all got up and I lead them outside.

"This is the back yard obviously. That building out there is the stables. And obviously this is a pool. And you've seen the rest of the tour."

"This is incredible. What's all this on the floor over here?" Cam was looking at my old painting spot.

"It's paint. I used to come out here and paint."

"What'd you paint?"

"Everything. There's three pieces on display at the art museum."

"Is there anything you can't do?" Ben looked at me.

"I can't play charades." That got them laughing. I shook my head and headed back to the kitchen.

"We should tour the town."

"Let's, i'm starving. Jenn any good places?"

"Family owned or not?"

"Family."

"Yeah. Come on. And no we will not wait for you to get ready." I loved the Levies girls, but they liked to get primped and preamed for everything. They just looked at me and we loaded into the cars. We had those kind of cars where you can hear everything someone says when they press a button. It was like the cars in Jurassic park when they're going through the park and then the dinosaur shows up and tries to eat them all(^-^ you go dino <3), but they were black Escalades. We drove through town and I gave everyone a run down of what was what. We finally came to 'An Cafe Lón'.

"What does that mean?" We were wallking up to the doors when Alex asked

"The Lunch Cafe. The menu is in Irish. But the people in here speak English so they can help translate. You cool with that?" They all nodded and we walked in.

"An bhfuil Annon anseo?!?"(Is Annon here?)

"IS THAT JENNIFER I HEAR?!?"

"IT IS! NOW GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!" I looked up and saw my cousin Annon (pronounced An-none) leaning over the railing. He took off down the stairs and engulfed me in a hug.

"What are you doing here, col ceathrar(cousin)?"

"Our band is playing in the European branch of Warped Tour and it kicks off here so I thought we'd come hang out for the week before it started."

"I see. I've got tickets to see the show. Sharon and I are going. But who are these people?" He gestured behind me.

"You know my band. These three girls are with George, Alex, and Jase. They're Jayana, Lauren and Liz. And then these five guys are Asking Alexandria. It's Danny, Ben, Cameron, James. and Sam. Those three girls are with Cam, James, and Sam. Ben is Jarvia's grá amháin(loved one) and Danny is mine. Guys this is my cousin Annon, and welcome to his cafe."

"Are you eating here?"

"Yes."

"Follow me then. Annesto!! Put these tables together!!" Annesto came out and put the tables together.

"We got rid of the Irish menus."

"Why?"

"It was easier. So everything is in English, except the desserts."

"Okay." They put four tables together and we all sat down. We all ordered drinks and I started explaining what each thing was.
