Author's Note – So I wanted to write this story for such a long time so here is the first chapter! This chapter might be a bit confusing but everything will come together in the next couple of chapters. Review even if you hate It!

Sony's POV

"SHANE IS COMING?"

"He sure is and he said he's bringing a friend"

"SHANE IS COMING?!"

"Calm down!" my mum said waving her hands in front of me just like she always does when I get over excited.

"CHERYL!" she screamed from her place in the kitchen and I placed my finger over my mouth to show her not to yell again.

"...I'll tell her" I said slipping off the kitchen stool and walking out of the kitchen and into the hall.

"Cheryl!" I called again

"Yeah?" A girl with bright red hair, orange jeans and grey top with pictures of Mickey and Minnie Mouse appeared on the top step of the stairs. I eyed her for a couple more seconds as if it was the first time I have seen her, and looked up at her.

"Dinner is ready" I told her calmly, which was a complete change from all the screaming I did.

"Be right down" she informed me and disappeared into our room again.

I grinned to myself and walked back into the kitchen, sitting back down on my usual stool.

"Well?" asked mum getting out some plates from the cupboards and handing them to me."Did you tell her?"

"Well...No...I want it to be a surprise" I lied...well it wasn't a complete lie. It was going to be a surprise. Or a scary shock, but I didn't lie about the not telling part.

"Okay" she said getting back to her cooking or whatever she was doing, cuz I couldn't see her anymore as I went into the dining room and started to set up the table.

I didn't think it would be that easy, I thought she'd protest for me to tell her but I prefer this much more. If I knew she would be so easy today, i would have asked her to get me a laptop of my own, so I wouldn't have to share with Cheryl anymore.

I came back into the kitchen and grabbed the glasses and cutlery starting to walk back out.

"When is he coming back?" I asked stepping back into the kitchen.

"Tonight"

"Tonight? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I shrieked clearly shocked

"Well, wouldn't it be way harder to wait for two weeks than 2hours?"

"You knew for two weeks?"

"Well-" she began but Cheryl's voice filled the room and mum snapped her mouth shut

"Hey guys!" Smiled Cheryl grabbing the glasses that my right hand was barely balancing.

"Hey Cher" I greeted her and pulled her out of the kitchen before mum got a chance to blab everything out. There wasn't much to blab out but if she did, all of my plans would be way harder to achieve.

"So what's new?" she asked placing the glasses beside each one of the plates.

"You were only studying for an hour. What can happen in an hour?" I laughed trying to hide that I was lying, but since I was usually good at lying I think she believed me.

Lying was like my secret talent, that I didn't tell anyone about cuz if I did no one would believe in anything I would say.

"Yeah I guess you're right" she giggled and grabbed the cutlery out of my hand, since she could see that I was in Sony-Land and wasn't getting ready to finish setting the table any time soon.

"You working tonight?" I asked leaning my elbows on the back of one of the black leather chairs.

"Yeah, but only for a couple of hours. After your dad get's back I have guitar lessons and I will lock up the shop-"

"Like you always do"

"Exactly. Daily routine" she laughed finishing up with the cutlery and pulling out of the chairs from under the table and resting her butt on it.

"How can it be a daily routine, if you only give guitar lessons twice a week?" I smirked copying her and sitting down.

"I always lock up, don't I?"

"No, sometimes dad does, and sometimes Debby does-"

"Debby hasn't been in work for over a week"

"Okay...I do sometimes" I said and Cheryl erupted with laughter

"Oh yeah? When was the last time?" she questioned putting on a cheeky smile and raising an eyebrow. I really had to think about that one, cuz the truth was I can't even remember the last time I locked up.

"I give up" I sighed and a grin spread across Cheryl's face.

She looked down at her wrist-watch and sighed.

"I guess I'll just have dinner and go" she said her face dropping a little.

"Why? You still have an hour before the guitar lessons?"

"Yeah, but sometime the parents drop the kids off a bit early and then they complain that I wasn't there"

"Ooh, that's rough"

"Tell me about it" she sighed and sighed again and then got up walking out of the room.

If I told her now what was going through my mind she would have killed me, that's why I had to bite my tongue down since I wanted her to know so badly, but if I wanted my plan to work I couldn't tell her.

I stayed sitting down with my tongue between my teeth for a couple more minutes, until the need to tell her went away and I got up and helped mum and Cheryl bring the food. It seemed like there was going to be a party, looking down at all the food she made but when I thought about it I remembered how much dad ate when he was hungry.

I only picked at my food with my fork, for a couple of minutes before pushing the plate away.

"Everything okay, Sony?" asked mum putting down her own fork and looking at me with pleading brown eyes. What do you want me to say to those eyes? No?

"Oh yeah, everything is fine...just excitement...." I blabbed then quickly bit my tongue. I slowly turned my neck to look at Cheryl hoping to find her eating her own food and not getting ready to ask me a certain question. Or any question really.

"Why so excited?" she asked bursting my little bubble of hope. She wasn't looking up at me, she was picking at her food with her fork just like me a couple of minutes ago.

"Ummm...." I was about to lie or run off or something, but my dad the saviour burst in the door and singing happy tunes under his breath, skipping over to the table. Not a usual thing for my dad to do but....

My head snapped back to look at mom who was staring right back at me.

"Does he know?" I mimed and she nodded. I looked down at her empty plate, and made the puppy dog face no one could resist.

Mum sighed and got up bringing the plate with her.

"Come on Jeff, I have something to show you" she lied winking at me. Smart.

"You going to eat that?" I asked nodding at Cheryl's plate hoping to change the subject so she wouldn't suspect anything. She shook her head and pushing the plate away stood up.

"Well, I know you're not going to eat it" she stated with a giggle as she stretched out her arms.

"Yeah, I know..." I just can't wait for you to leave. I wasn't going to say that, but who said I couldn't think it. I needed her out before Shane got here. Then she wouldn't be able to kill me. I don't know how she would kill, with a bone-crunching hug or a knife and shot gun. I prefer the first one.

"Stupid work" she muttered before walking out the door.

"Hey...umm...Cher? You do know that you were the one with the guitar lesson idea?" I told her getting up as well, and starting to collect the not so empty plates.

"Yeah, I'm just not in the mood. I'd rather stay at home" she said slipping in her feet into colourful converses.

"Good luck, strangling the kids" I laughed giving her a thumbs-up.

"I do not strangle kids! And they're not kids really. The oldest is 15" she informed me and I thought of something to say back but I had nothing, so with a sigh I carried out the plates to the kitchen.

"See ya, Cher" I walked out of the hall/a place we eat (what do you call that?)

"Bye"

At least now she was gone, and I didn't need to lie anymore because no matter how good I was at it, I felt kinda guilty lying to my best friend.

I handed the plates to mum, and rushed upstairs to get changed out of my pyjamas. So what if it was past 5 in the evening, it's the summer holidays, and that means no school and/or I cans stay in my pyjamas as long as I wish. How did Shane get off work during the summer holidays, stayed a mystery to me but I didn't think about it too much, the fact that he was coming and made me really happy and that was the whole point.

I opened my/Chery's closet and threw all the clothes that were on my side of the closet on the floor. I looked down at the sea of colours and smiled to myself.

I laid out all of my clothes around the whole room. There were clothes on shelves on our computer table, on mine and Cheryl's beds. In other words I had a lot of clothes.

My brother is Shane Grey, he has to get me something for my birthday. He used to get me clothes but he got the sizes wrong almost everytime but now he only send gift-cards and then I buy clothes myself, the right size, which is way more comfortable to wear.

I marched around the room, looking at my clothes and as I went around the whole way, I took out some clothes out of the game and in the end was left with two outfits.

A silver and black hood dress that I would wear with grey converses. Or a pink colourful top with 'All You Need Is Love' written on it, with a grey plaid skirt and a black velvet vest.

I closed my eyes, span around 17 times and opened my eyes, to find myself staring at the ceiling. I kinda fell down. I pulled myself up to see, which outfit I was closer to, and was disappointed to see that I fell right on top the black hood dress. I shook my head and collected the other outfit of Cheryl's bed.

I quickly got changed and went over to my/our vanity table. I grabbed a brush and ran it through my black layered hair. Not much you can do with such short hair so I just left it hanging loosely around my shoulders.

I looked up at the mirror, and noticed that I still had the makeup from yesterday on. It was all smudged and ugly so I quickly grabbed a napkin and wiped everything off. I grabbed eyeliner and started a new.

Shane's POV

"What if they won't like me?" asked Mitchie worriedly pulling at her hair.

"You are worrying too much. Why wouldn't they like you? Everyone likes you" I laughed placing a kiss on her forehead. She giggled and snuggled into my chest.

"What about your sister?" she spoke softly into my chest.

"What about her?" I whispered into her hair

"What if she doesn't like me?" she raised her head and looked at me with her brown puppy dog eyes. Don't look at the eyes, Shane, don't look.

"Come on Mitch! Will you relax? Everything is going to be fine! It's my family, they're not royalty." I couldn't help but laugh. I never though Mitchie could be so nervous. My Mitchie was barely ever nervous.

"Yeah, but their son is close to that" she laughed and placed her head on my shoulder. Let's hope the taxi driver has no idea who I am or tomorrow's headlines will be 'New Hiding Place...Taxi"

"Really?" I joked kissing her, she kissed me back and laughed pulling away when she saw the taxi driver giving us weird looks. I laughed with her but kissed her again. As long as the taxi guy didn't have a camera with him, I don't care what he thought.

"How old is your sister?" she asked with a smirk

"The last time I saw her she was just about to turn sixteen, but now she's nearly 18...I think"

"In other words she'd 17?"

"Yeah"

"Do you miss them?" she asked suddenly perking up.

"Who?"

"You're family" she told me in her usual 'duh' tone.

"Well yeah...I saw Sony two years ago during Christmas, but I haven't seen my parents or been home for over two and half years."

"That must be hard, living away from your family" she sighed lowering her eyes.

"Well yeah, but now I have you" I smiled and kissed her forehead.
