Chapter 2: Welcome Back

Ugh... This bell is teasing me! Why won't it ring faster!? It's too slow! I think this bell is trying to keep me from seeing my brother.

*ring*

Thank God! I grabbed my bag and ran out the door as fast as I could. I met Bobby and Scott at the front entrance. We skated back to my house.

I saw this big black Cadillac park in front of our lawn. He's here! We all ran through the garage and threw our stuff on the couch. We then ran straight to the lounge and saw Chris sitting on the couch with the remote in his hand watching some random show. I jumped on him and started poking his sides.

"Who's annoying who huh?" I asked while poking him.

"Alright alright get off me." he pushed me off him. " Hey Scott. What's up Bobby?"

"Good"

We pulled him to the garage so he could here our music. He sat on the couch while we set up our instruments. We all agreed ,yesterday, that we would do our rendition of 'Hey Brittney' by Forever The Sickest Kids.

...

When the song ended he applauded us.

"Great job guys. You guys sounded amazing. By the sound of you guys, I'm gonna guess that your gigs are hits as well." he smiled. "Are you guys gonna enter the Battle of the Bands?"

"We all thought about it but we said we were gonna wait another year. We aren't ready for that yet" I replied.

He gave me a confused look. "You guys are more than ready." he said with a smile.

Really? He really thinks we're ready. We've only been a band for three years. I know some may think that that's a long time but it took us a while to get used to playing with each other. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.

"Why not give it go?" I asked the guys.

Bobby and Scott looked at each other. "Really? You know Brett is competing too, right?" Scott asked.

"Well then that just makes me want to do it even more. It'll be fun to watch him cry as we take away his chance to win."

We all laughed and agreed to do it. Chris told us that he will sign us up and send in a video for the first round of elimination. He and the boys went back inside for some food.

...

A few hours later, mom came home with another box of fresh pizza for a celebration. We love our pizza. This time though the pizza was vegan because Chris is vegan. That's the only downside to him coming back. But who cares at least he's back. We all took our slice of pizza and started to eat.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Who could that be? I walk to the door and opened it.

What the hell? What is he doing here? Why is he at my house!? "Scott! Your douche bag brother is here!" I shouted into the kitchen.

"Woah there, I'm not that much of a douche bag babe." Brett said, grabbing my waist from behind and pulling me in closer to him.

"Get your hands off my little sister you dick head." Chris said while prying Brett's hands from my body. "Why don't you leave my sister alone. She isn't someone you can toy around with so back off!" Chris said sternly.

"Alright alright, I'm just here for my brother." Brett said.

"I'm not going home. I'd rather stay with Riley than with you."

"Fine by me, just don't forget to use protection." He chuckled and went back home.

"Is it okay that I spend the night here then?" Scott asked my mom.
