WTF?

Chapter 17

**KIA'S POV**

"Are you gonna bring her when Sour starts touring again?" I heard someone ask

"Definitely! I've missed enough of her life, I won't miss any more of it." Corey exclaimed quietly as someone began running their hands through my hair

"Awesome, I can continue with her guitar lessons then!" I heard #4 happily reply

"I'm sure she'll love that. I just hope that she's truly happy." Dad stated, sadness tinting his voice

"Why do you say that?" The voice I didn't recognize ask

"She wasn't happy with her mother. I don't honestly know if she's happy on tour with all these weird, crazy people around her all the time. She has no privacy, and at her age she really needs that." Corey responded

"Dude, I'm sure she's happy. She doesn't seem to me to be the kind of person who'll keep her emotions inside." #4 stated

"I guess you're right." Corey sighed

"Uuuuuuugggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh" I groaned, letting them know I was awake

"Kia! How are you feeling, honey?" Dad asked

"Paaaaaaaaaaain." I groaned

"Let me get you a pill. Do you still have some water, Jim?" Corey stated taking charge

"Yeah." #4 replied, running his hands through my hair

"Hi Kia!" Shawn (Stone Sour bassists, not Clown ^_^) exclaimed

I simply nodded at him. Corey returned a few minutes later with a pill and #4 handed me his bottle of water to take it with. I curled back up, resting my head back on #4's leg. Corey was sitting on the floor in front of the couch and Shawn was in the lone chair. Dad was flipping through my sketch book looking at some of the latest sketches I'd done and commenting. He even said that he thought one of them would be perfect for one of their albums. Slipknot or Stone Sour, I'm not sure which one he was talking about!

I half-heartedly smiled since I wasn't feeling too well. #4 had begun running his large hand through my hair again and it was all I could do to keep from purring. They talked about going home in a few weeks so I just stayed silent. They were all very excited but I was getting a bit nervous. I was meeting my biological paternal grandparents for the first time as well as my little brother and Aunts & Uncles. Would they like me? Would I fit in with the family? I closed my eyes for a second listening to #4's voice and fell asleep!

"Little one? Little one, wake up!" I barely heard #7's voice exclaim

"Huh?!" I groggily stated

"We've stopped for breakfast. You need to eat." He replied, moving hair out of my face

"Don't wanna move." I quietly replied

"I know Little one but you need to get some nourishment into your system. Come on, I'll help you off the bus." He replied, sort of pulling me up off the couch and onto my feet

I found myself clinging to him since my leg had started throbbing. He wrapped his hands around my waist and then placed his lips to mine softly. Good morning to me! I smiled into the kiss which made him smile too.

"I miss our time together, Little one." He whispered into my ear

"Me too... but I feel like total crap." I whispered back, leaning my head on his chest

"I know Little one. If you ever want to lay with me, you know where I sleep. You'll always have an open invitation to my bunk." He replied as Corey called for us
