"You didn't get lost?" CC calls as I open the door.

"Nope." I say as I walk in.

"You were gone a while so I wasn't sure." He admits from the couch.

CC strums one of his many guitars, I walk past him and I ruffle his hair. He groans and starts to fix it.

"It takes me an hour to get my hair like this." He complains as I open the fridge, I grab a beer. "Hey, get me one to."

I hand CC his beer and crack mine open. CC does the same and we drink for a while in silence.

"I gotta job." I say and he smiles.

"Atta girl, Bee!" CC congratulates me.

"And I met up with a couple of old friends." I say and he looks confused.

"You had friends?" He wonders in his jokey way.

"You're an asshole." I say drinking more beer and he smiles.

"Yes, I am." CC says proudly, drinking more.

"What do you know about this bar called the Rainbow?" I wonder and he thinks for a minute.

"Its a pretty cool place, a lot of rockers hang out there." He explains. "It's where I met up with my band, well nearly beat the crap out of the lead singer but still met up with them. Why?"

"I'm meeting up with my friends there later on." I explain and he nods.

"Sweet, me to. Maybe I'll see you there." CC laughs.

"Yeah, maybe." I say and finish the rest of my beer.

I walk into the bar at about nine thirty. I got lost big time. Sunset Boulevard is huge and there's so many bars and so much traffic. The bar's crowded but I instantly see Rikki, Bret, and Bobby. They see me to and wave. I sit down at one of the open chairs at their table and Bret looks over to me.

"Get lost?" He wonders and I smile.

"Only slightly." I admit and they laugh.

"You made it though." Bobby says and I nod.

"My other option was to unpack and drinking sounds a lot more fun." I admit and Rikki laughs.

"I don't know, sounds like fun to me." He jokes and I smile.

"As I remember, your singer said you had a drinking problem." Bret smiles.

"I don't have a big drinking problem." I smile and they laugh again.

"I think guitarist and her will get along fine." Bobby says, he points at Rikki. "You were worried." Rikki smiles again.

"I just wanna see if he gets that girl's number or not." Bret says looking around.

"Well, I'm gonna go get alcohol. Anyone else want anything?" I wonder as I stand up.

"The red head at the bar's number." Bret jokes.

"This is why we need to drink with a girl more often, they're nice." Rikki speaks up.

"We're good." Booby translates.

"Alright, I'll be back." I say and I start to walk over to the bar.

I wade through the hoard of people and make it to the bar in one piece. I instantly bump into someone and go to apologize. I look over to see that I ran into my brother.

"Watch where you're going, Bianca." He tells me but then yells for the bartender, who ignores him. "Been up here for twenty fucking minutes."

"It's because you're short." I smile and look down the bar. "Hey, bartender!" I call.

"Very funny." CC mutters.

The bartender turns and walks over to my brother and I. He smiles at me. I place mine and CC's order and he turns away and starts to mix our drinks.

"Did you find your friends?" CC wonders and I nod.

"Yeah, I got lost driving here though." I admit and he laughs.

"Should've drove with me." CC smiles.

"I told them I'd be hear at nine, not seven." I tell him and he rolls his eyes.

The bartender hands CC his drink first and CC turns to walk away. Bartender smiles at me before handing me my drink.

"What are you doing later tonight?" He asks me and I tense up. I hear CC laugh from somewhere behind me.

"Listen, I just want my drink." I say as nicely as I can. "Besides, I came with someone."

I reach out to grab my drink and his hand wraps tightly around my wrist.

"Get your hands off me." I say sternly and he smiles.

"What you gonna do about it?" He wonders.

"Me? Nothing but the can of pepper spray I have and the knife on my hip can do a whole hell of a lot of damage." I smirk and he releases my wrist.

I turn to and start to walk back to the boys, I flex my hand open and close to regain blood flow. I make it back to the table and I sit down.

"Gone a while, what did you, hook up with someone in the bathroom?" Bret teases and I shake my head.

"Bartender's just an ass." I admit and Rikki half smiles.

"Kick his ass?" The voice of my twin says.

I look up to see him sitting across the table from me. I half smile and cross my arms. I see out of the corner of my eye, Bret, Bobby, Rikki looking awful confused.

"Hey CC." I say and he nods up at me.

"How's it going, Bee?" CC wonders with a similar expression on his face.

"You know each other?" Bret asks and CC shakes his head,

"Nope, at least not by choice." He admits and I flip him off. "Its my little sister, Bianca."

"You know, when you said you had friends, I didn't think you meant mine." I smirk and Bobby kinda laughs.

"Blonde haired, blued eyed, guitarists, from Brooklyn. How didn't we get this sooner?" Bobby keeps laughing.

"So this sarcastic New Yorker." Bret points at CC. "Explains this sarcastic New Yorker." Bret points back at me.

"Jesus CC, did you just steal her clothes growing up?" Rikki wonders between laughs.

"He did, actually." I add and they laugh harder.

Rikki

CC and Bianca are related, yeah it makes sense. I mean look at them, listen to them talk. It adds up. I mean they're clearly twins. That makes realizing this part fifty thousand times harder.

I'm crazy about Bianca.

I'd be lying if I said I forgot about her. To be honest, she never really left my thoughts. She was just kinda there, always. Those eyes, those beautiful trouble maker eyes. Eighty percent devil, twenty percent angel.

I'm crazy about my best friend's twin sister.

Jesus Christ. 

CC is going to kill me.
