It's been a few days since we left Bali. Andi told me that since the boys are going on separate breaks so I can go home for a few days.
Portland isn't a small city, but it's not huge. The Willamette flows through the middle of the city. I love it all.
"Let's go shopping for the tour," Liv says pulling me out of the hotel room.
"Andi is going to kill me if we leave without security." I remind her.
"Let's sneak out the back and have Greyson come with us." she grins, running towards his room.
"Alright," I smile at her excitement. We never get out anymore because of the success of my music. It's nice to pretend everything is how it used to be.
"He agreed to, as long as you buy him some food."
"Sounds fine," I grab my purse. "Grey, when do we get to go to the house?"
"Around six o'clock." he smiles, wrapping his arms around me.
"I love you brother. Thanks for protecting me." I smile at him.
"I don't want boys touching you, so I have to be there to protect you."
Liv, of course, ruins the moment by saying, "Goals."

"Where to next?" Grey asks. So far, only a few fans have asked for pictures and what not. Not too bad if you ask me.
"Salt 'n Straw!" I cheer, "I fricking love their ice cream!"
"Oh my gosh, yes!" Liv agrees.
We wait in line for about ten minutes, before getting our ice cream.
"Grey, take a picture of us!" I hand him my phone.
He snaps a photo then hands me back my phone. The picture shows my confused face I was making because Grey was winking at us. Weirdo.
I quickly post it to Instagram, captioning it "we are glad to be home". (A.N. picture above)

I retweet Calum's tweet then shut my phone off.
"Let's get going, we have dinner in an hour." Greyson says, looking at his watch. "Em said mom and dad are really excited."
"It's been awhile since I've seen them."
"I'm surprised they didn't meet you at the airport." Liv says.
"They just got back from Hawaii for New Years." I say.
"Oh, right."

"Mason!" my mom shouts running towards me. Her arms wrap around me as I hug her close to me.
"Mom," I breathe out.
"We've missed you so much!" she cries.
"We really have, kiddo." my dad smiles at us.
"Dad!" I go in for a hug.
"How are ya, bug?" he uses my childhood nickname.
"I'm wonderful. Grey and I have been so excited to see you." I gesture to my brother.
"Oh Greyson!" my mom cries even more.
"Hey mom," he says quietly. "Hey dad."
"How are you, Grey?"
"Oh you know, I'm great. It's fun to be Mason's dad when you're not there." he smiles.
"Any boys I should be worried about?"
"If there are, I'll tell you when I beat them up." Greyson jokes.
"Let's go inside. Em and Jay are inside."
"I'm glad Andi didn't come." I laugh, nudging Greyson.
"Yeah, I heard Jason and Katie were trying for a baby." he says, as we enter the living space.
"May!" Jason grins, "Grey!"
"Jason don't call me that." I roll my eyes.
"Nice to see you too." he laughs.
"Hello Katie." I smile hugging my sister-in-law.
"Mom, when is Ma- Mason!" my sister yells, running from stairs.
"Em!" I smile brightly seeing my little sister.
"I can't believe you're here!"
"Em, I saw you for Christmas."
"That was a while ago."
"Whatever you say."
"All my kids in one room!" Mom smiles. "This hasn't happened in years."
Due to my job, I haven't been home in like a year. I haven't been home for practically any holidays in two years. I could've gone home this year, but I didn't, probably because my parents never really understood me wanting to make something of myself. They also didn't approve of me quitting school at age sixteen, and moving to Los Angeles. Andi and Greyson followed me there, trying to convince me to come home. That's when Andi finished college and Grey took courses in physical defense. My siblings were the ones to encourage me. According to Emerson, my parents are now understanding my reasons for leaving Portland. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have just randomly left but oh well.
"I'm glad to be home." I smile at my beautiful family.
"We are so proud of all of you. Jason and Katie are pregnant!" My mom's smile couldn't get any bigger.
"Oh my gosh!" My hands cover my mouth.
"Congrats."
"I didn't know Jason could get pregnant. Is it in his duderus?" Greyson grins, earning a fist bump from me.
"Oh shut up, Grey."
"Your father was promoted to Chief Firefighter!" mom cheers again.
"Congrats dad!"
"I have five thousand followers on Instagram!" Emerson does jazz hands.
"Whoa, round of applause for Miss Em, right here." I smirk.
"That's my sister!" Greyson yells, making everyone laugh.
"Mason, what's going on with you?" Dad asks.
"I am the opening act for a huge band on a world arena tour?" I bite my lip and shrug.
"That's my sister." Jason yells, pointing at me.
My parents just stare at me. Everyone else looks between me and them.
My mom is the first to speak.
"Wow, honey, that's amazing."
"Yeah," I smile.
"Dang kiddo, I'm so proud of you." Dad smiles at me, "I'm so proud of all of you."
"LET'S GO PRINCES!" Em yells doing a little jig.
filler filler filler
