Dustin's P.O.V

"Bored out of my mind. I seriously can't wait till tonight's show," I heard Samantha say. "Yeah. Me too," chimed AJ.
We have a concert in LA at around 8 pm. "Remember, we have to get to the venue for sound check in about 4 to 5 hours," I said in a serious tone. "Yes guys. Listen to our father," Jess said as she walked into the living room and joined us. I flipped her off and she stuck her tongue out at me. "You guys are mature," Michael said sarcastically. "Shut up Michael. You're only 16, kid," Jess said. "Someone's pissy," Samantha said. "No I'm not," Jess argued, "Just thinking." "About?" I asked curiously. "Danny called me. He wants to talk things out." As soon as she said that, I snapped and stood up. "You're not talking to him, you hear? You're not gonna go anywhere near him," I said getting defensive. "Actually, Dustin, I think it'd be best if they talk things out. Then they'll move on with their lives," AJ suggested. I wasn't gonna let my little sister get hurt again. We all looked at Jess, expecting her to make a decision.
Jess' P.O.V
I sighed, "I'll talk to him. Let's see what excuses he can make up." "If anything, you call us, we'll fix him up," Dustin said. "I'll be fine," I responded. I walked back to my room and I called Danny.
-Phone Convo-
D: Hello?
J: Hey Danny
D: Did you think about what I told you?
J: I'll talk to you, but it'll have to be fast. I have to get back for sound check.
D: Alright. Thanks for the opportunity. Really.
J: I just agreed to talk to you. That's it.
D: It's a step. Anyways, I'll pick you up in about 20 minutes. We can go somewhere and talk.
J: Sure. Bye.
D: Bye.
-End Of Phone Convo-
I'm still not so sure about this whole meeting up to talk thing, but it's better to get things through with. I stayed in what I was wearing, which was a red My Chemical Romance shirt, black ripped jeans, black combat boots and my bracelets. I felt kinda lazy for make up so I quickly applied some eyeliner and I let my hair down from the ponytail I had it in. A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell ring. "Dustin, you better not open the door!" I shouted from my room. I knew Dustin wouldn't contain himself and would end up beating the crap out of Danny. Rather save myself the struggle of trying to separate two people from a fight. I quickly grabbed my keys, phone and some money and I ran to the living room. Dustin was standing next to the closed door with a frown on his face. "I would've only hit him a little bit," Dustin said. I chuckled and messed up his hair, earning a smile from him. "See ya," I said and I opened the door. "Hey, ready?" Danny said. "Yeah," I said.

We went to a Starbucks to sit and talk. We waited for our orders and once we'd received them, we found seats and began the talk. "Listen Jess. I'm really sorry. For everything. I was a jerk. I know I hurt you, and I hate myself for it," he said. I kept a serious face throughout his whole rant. "Why did you do it? You made me feel like shit," I said. "It was a drunk mistake," he repeated like he always did. "Not just that time, Danny. You know what I'm talking about. You made me feel like shit all the time. You blamed things on me. Beat me. Why?" I asked remembering every single time he made me feel worthless. "Because I was an idiot. I thought if I dominated, it'll all go how I planned. Instead, I ended up hurting you and losing you. I was stupid. Please," he said taking my hand in his, " forgive me."
I looked out our hands then at his face. I don't know why, I saw honesty. I sighed. I hope I'm making the right decision. "Look, I'm not saying I forgive you completely, but I'll give you a chance to regain my trust," I said. He smiled and got up from his chair, never letting go of my hand. "Thank you Jess," he pulled me up from my chair and hugged me. He then drove me back to my house.

"Did he hit you? Did he say something to hurt you? Are you guys gonna date again? Cause if you are, I'm not letting you," Dustin said as soon as I walked into the house. "No. No. And of course not. I'm just gonna let time pass and see if I can trust him again," I said.
Dustin nodded at my answer. Did I make the right decision? I decided not to stress myself about it too much. Time? 11:47. About 3 hours and 30 minutes until sound check time, I told myself. The doorbell rang. I walked towards the door and opened it. "Heyyyy," Rydel said excitedly with the rest of her siblings behind her. "Heyy," I answered. Rydel hugged me tight and then so did the rest. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked them. "We wanted to hang!" Riker said enthusiastically. I laughed lightly and then my siblings came into the living room.

Riker, Dustin, Ryland, and AJ started an intense game of Call Of Duty in the living room. Rydel and Samantha were watching them and talking about random stuff. Michael, Rocky, and Ross were trying to distract the boys so they wouldn't succeed in the game. Goofballs. I walked towards the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Nothing really looked appetizing, so I just took a few grapes and ate them. I was sitting in our kitchen island, scrolling through my phone, when I felt someone sit on the stool next to me. I didn't even bother to look up. "Why so lonely?" I heard a voice say. I finally looked up to meet Ross' gaze. "Oh, hey Ross. And I just wanted some quiet time," I told him. He nodded. "So... how have you been?" he asked, trying to start a conversation. "Eh, standard. Not completely happy. Not completely sad," I shrugged. "You should be happy. You have a concert in a few hours," he pointed out. "Yea. True." We sat in silence for a while. I don't know what got into me, but next thing you know I leaned my head and rested it on his shoulder.
Ross' P.O.V.
She leaned her head onto my shoulder. I took the chance and grabbed her hand and interlocked our fingers. She looked up at me and gave me a sweet smile. Then we started to lean in. I could feel her breath near my face as our lips inched closer. "Hey guys- Oh," we heard someone say and we immediately pulled back away from each other. We looked at the person. Oh shit, I thought. Rocky.
