I woke up to the light shining through my curtains. I dragged myself up. I was exhausted. Yesterday was the best day of my entire life, literally. I have a home and a family and that's what I really wanted. Plus I was going with them to their reunion and on digitour. It was a dream come true. I opened my door and went downstairs. There was a smell of burn coming from the kitchen. I walked in and the toaster was almost a blaze.

"Jack", I screamed. I didn't know which one I wanted but one wold do. Gilinsky ran in and grabbed the fire extinguisher and sprayed the now burning toaster.

"You alright", he asked me.

"Yeah, what happened", I asked,

"Jack got a call and he seemed really serious, he asked me to watch the toaster but I heard him on the phone and he seemed shocked and excited so I went to see what it was and I guess I was gone too long", he explained.

"Ahh, I see", I chuckled. Then dad walked in.

"Gilinsky, I asked you to watch it, you can't do one simple task", he said smiling.

"Sorry bro, but I can't cook".

"Neither can I but, toast, seriously, it's the easiest thing to make", he said his smile fading.

"So what was the call about", i asked trying to change the subject.

"Well, we need to leave tomorrow for New York. Cause if we go next week it's too close to digitour", he said calmly.

"Alright, so what will we do for breakfast", asked Gilinsky,"I'm starving".

"Well if you watched the toast, you wouldn't be, but I 'll go to Starbucks while you two get dressed", he answered grabbing the car keys.

"Where are we going", asked.

"We're going to introduce you to our parents".

I walked back upstairs and went to my wardrobe and picked out my outfit. I laid it on the bed and went into the bathroom. I stripped out of my pjs and hopped in to the shower. I turned it on and let the water fall on me. I washed my hair and body and got back out.

I dried of and plugged in the hairdryer to dry my hair. When that was finished I put on my outfit and put my phone and money into my bag and ran back downstairs. Dad was there with Starbucks. I took mine and we headed to the car.

"So, do you think your parents will like me", i asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't they", asked dad.

"Well, cause I'm adopted", I said.

"So, that doesn't mean we love you any less", said Gilinsky.

"We should meet up with some of the guys later before we leave Omaha", said dad to Gilinsky.

I fell asleep listening to them talking.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wake up". Someone said shaking me. I opened my eyes and the jacks were smiling.

"Are we there", I asked.

"Yeah, this is it", said Jack.

I got out and looked around. It was so much different to L.A. They walked up to a house. It was nice. Dad knocked on the door and a woman answered.

"Oh, I missed you so much", she said hugging him. He went bright red. "Come in everyone is here", she said and we followed. There were loads of people inside. I didn't know who was who.

"Ohh. Is this Lisa", she asked smiling at me.

"Yeah", I said.

"This is my mom, Jennifer, my dad, John and my older brother Jeff", said dad, "and the rest are Gilinsky's".

I looked around at everyone. It was so silent.

"This is awkward", me and Jack said in unison.(from now on when I say Jack, I mean Gilinsky okay)

Everyone started talking again and dad introduced me properly to his family. His parents were really nice and so was Jeff. I was taking my phone out to check it and i guess I accidentally pressed the video I recorded yesterday. The room went silent again until Jack spoke.

"Wait a minute", he said," is that me singing in the shower".

I could see a smirk on dads face. Everyone started to laugh.

"Well, Johnson, she's your daughter, do something", he said while laughing.

"G I told her to record you", laughed dad.

He went red. We spent the night laughing and having fun. We brought our suitcases with us so we were staying the night.

"Why, don't we finish the night with 20 questions do our families can get to know Lisa more", suggested Dad.

We agreed and began.

"So, are you American cause you don't have an American accent".

"I am but I was Christened in Ireland so I some how have an Irish accent".

"What age did you go to the orphanage at"

"I was abandoned at the age of one"

The questions carried on until we came to the last one.

"Have you had your first kiss yet", asked Laura, Gilinsky's sister.

"No not yet but I'm waiting for someone special".

"Okay, we should go to bed, we have an early start tomorrow".

I followed dad up to his old room.

"You can share with me or one of the girls", he said.

"You, I don't know them well enough yet, for all I know they could murder me in my sleep". I said climbing in beside him. He turned of the light.

"Goodnight", he smiled.

"Night, daddy, I love you so much", I said laying my head on his chest.

"I love you too"and with that I fell asleep.

----------------------------------------------So it will get better. If you don't like don't read it, I'm not forcing anyone but I will improve it. So yeah. Thanks for anyone who did read it.-----E
