Giordana

December 23rd (Phoenix, Arizona)

The last couple of weeks, have definitely not been what I had expected. I was hoping that Brian would have been more open, to what I wanted. To keep our professional lives, and personal lives seperate. But he hadn't.

It was currently two days before Christmas, and as planned, I had joined him to meet his family and spend Christmas with them. I had turned down invitations to spend Christmas with Monti, and Michael, back in Australia. And I know what you're all thinking, I didn't turn down spending the holidays with Michael because of Brian, I did it because I knew my parents would be there; and there was no way I was prepared for that.

Honestly, I didn't feel comfortable here. His parents and siblings were nice enough, but I knew it was mainly put on. I could tell they didn't really like me. That sucked, majorly. Right at this second, I wanted to jump on the next plane to LAX, and catch a connecting flight to Melbourne. But I knew that wasn't a possibility. I didn't want to spend my Christmas Day on an aeroplane, alone.

"Let's have a chat Gia," his mum said
"Sure," I gave a half hearted smile, and she lead me to the living room, and walked to the bar that was set up there, pouring herself a glass of red wine
"I'd offer you one, but I'm not one to condone underage drinking," she said, I was shocked. How old did this woman think I was?
"I'm actually, twenty one," I told her, "but I don't drink red wine,"
"Oh, okay," she seemed shocked by my words, "I can have Brian bring you something else if you'd like?"
"Sure," I smiled, again, it was half hearted
She called out to Brian, and he walked in to the living room, with a Corona, knowing it was the only drink he knew i liked, and I honestly didn't like beer that much

"So how did you meet my son?" She asked
"We met when I moved to LA, with my friend and band mate Monti,"
"So you're in music as well?" Well clearly, coming here was a mistake, his family didn't bother to learn about who his son was dating
"Yeah, Brian sort of discovered us," I said, "I actually knew the guys from 5 Seconds of Summer, who he's friends with,"
"Are you still friends with them?" She asked, "I learn you dated one of them, I mean everyone did, it was all over the news,"
"I did, but that's in the past," I shrugged, taking a sip of the beer

"So, how does Brian come in to this?" She asked, ugh I was so over all these questions. I felt like I was in an interview
"He wrote a song, sort of on my behalf, and Calum, showed it to me, and well yeah, I guess that's it. Brian followed me on twitter, and we started talking," I honestly don't know why I was telling her all of this, it's literally been made public knowledge since the news of mine and Monti's past broke
"And what about your music career?"
"What about it?"
"How did you get in to music?" She asked
"Oh, I've always written songs and everything, but Monti and I decided to release them on to YouTube just last year,"
"So you're only just starting out?"
"We definitely are, although we were given the opportunity of a lifetime, opening for the guys this year,"
"It's just so hard to believe that all of this was coincidence, with your connections,"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I almost screamed back
"To be honest, I haven't heard of you, or your band, except for what Brian's told me, and all of a sudden you're this huge name showing up in the magazines,"
"I'm surprised you haven't heard of us," I said, "although we haven't been around for long, we've actually been quite successful," I tried to remain calm, not wanting to burn any bridges, but this woman, was making that extremely hard!

"Well I'll admit I've seen the front pages of magazines, and I have to be honest, I'm surprised you showed up wearing clothing that's a little more conservative, seeing as what you're seen wearing on stage and photo shoots, well for lack of a better term, it's rather slutty,"
"Are you serious?" I scoffed, "you're actually judging me based on costumes?"
"I'm not saying that, I can't judge someone I don't know," she tried defending herself, but here she was asking me all these questions, just to see if I was the right girl for her son, "I'm just trying to find out if what the media says is true, to see if you're the right girl for my darling Brian, you know he's been hurt before, and from what he's said, you've hurt him as well,"
"Are you fucking serious?" I lost my cool just then, "obviously he's lied to you about all the crap he's done to me! And you just said, you didn't read the articles, you've just seen my picture!"
"You're a guest in this house, I'd very much appreciate it, if you didn't speak to me like that,"
"Yeah well consider this guest gone!" I said and stormed out of the living room, to the bedroom Brian and I were staying in
