The Song Remembers When

(2) Family Meeting

Everyone gathered into the living room and sat down on the big sectional. Amelia sat next to her twin brother and laid her head on his shoulder. He whispered "We will play more after the meeting k?' 

"Yeah." she whispered. 

Bucky sat with his brother Bradley in the corner and said "I get to play guitar next." 

"Yeah yeah." Bradley said 

James and Bryan walked into the living room andBryan said "Okay.. so we have been doing a lot of talking over the last several months about trying family vacations again." 

"I don't know why we even stopped in the first place we haven't been on one in almost two years. Well I mean we haven't done a big family thing." Bucky said 

AJ said "Buck.. you know why we stopped going." then he turned his head to the side and Bucky said "Oh.." 

"But we are good now right Amelia." Bryan said 

"Yeah sure" she said in a low tone. 

"Dad Millie isn't having a good day so just cut to the chase where are we going?' Asher said 

"Wait.. what happened Millie?' Emma said 

Millie looked down as she played with her bracelets and AJ said "Casey broke up with her after practice today." 

"Millie it's okay.. " Emma said 

Bryan looked to AJ and he mouthed "She's good ." 

"Okay.. um we are planning our first trip for Christmas to a ski resort in Colorado. We found us a house that's big enough for everybody. IT has a indoor basketball court sauna indoor pool and hot tub full gym theatre room. A huge family room that you all set up in if you want to pack your music stuff with you. Boys  you all are more than welcome to bring your girlfriends along if their parents don't mind them spending two weeks away. Bucky and AJ you two will share a room regardless. Millie you get your own room Becca and Alexis share a room and Bradley and Asher get their own rooms as well." Bryan said 

"Well then it has to be a pretty big house for it to have all that and enough bedrooms." Asher said

"It is..so we are good right guys.. everyone feels comfortable about doing big family vacations." Bryan said

"Yeah." they all said 

"Okay.. well you all may go." James said 

Amelia was out the door to the guest house and picked up the drumsticks and she started to play "The Chain" by  Fleetwood Mac. The rest of the siblings came out and picked up their instruments and Bradley took over for her and she went back up to main microphone and they were all singing. Bucky was playing bass guitar and their parents came out with their drinks as they sat and watched them in the lawn chairs. 

"Best damn thing we ever did was put them in music and vocal lessons." James said as they clinked their beers. 

"Amen to that." Bryan said 

Millie started to play her acoustic guitar as she started to sing "I'm The Only One" by Melissa Etheridge. 

"Get it baby" Emma said 

Winnie said "So is she going to be okay on this trip?' 

"Yeah she will be fine.. I've talked to her therapist she's made tremendous progress in two years." Emma said
