Okay, I'm back with this story. Sorry for the long hiatus, but some of my stories will be on hiatus longer than others. Sorry…enjoy the next chapter.

The six housemates walked through the front door as dark storm clouds began to roll overhead and thunder rumbled in the distance. Star, Brittney, Sabrina, Higgs and Ashley looked back as rain droplets began to fall from the darkened sky and Marco walked past them and towards the stairs, "Marco?" the half Latino young man ignored the blonde young woman as he walked up the stairs.

Marco walked down the stairs, carrying a box and his housemates stared at him with wide eyes. Setting the box down, Marco opened it and took out a yellow can, "Diaz," Brittney quietly hissed and Marco looked at the Asian diva in confusion, "Are you insane? Are you trying to get in trouble or-"

"There are no classes tomorrow and I think the situation calls for a few drinks," looking at his housemates, he arched a brow and shook his head, "You five want some? I've got plenty," the five slowly walked over to him before grabbing a couple of cans out of the box in front of them.

The six young adults sat in the living room, several empty cans spread out around the room. Looking over to the half Latino young man, Higgs arched a brow, "Hey Diaz," looking up, the five saw a stack of empty cans in front of him, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Building a pyramid of cans," his housemates looked at him in confusion and Marco shrugged his shoulders before he turned and focused on the cans in front of him, "Whatever,"

"Marco?" he looked back in confusion and Sabrina hiccupped before shaking her head, "How…how long…were you working for Brittney's mom?"

"Heh…you're drunk," Marco snickered and shook his head before sitting back and stared up at the ceiling, "I was about seven or eight when I met Ms. Jeri, parents took me and Monica to the mall," his housemates looked at him as he frowned and shook his head, "Parents…they tried to abandon me…of course…assholes,"

"But…but why…or how are you one of my mom's clients?" Brittney slurred and Marco looked at her, "How are you one of my mom's clients?"

Marco sighed and shook his head before he looked at the pyramid of cans resting on the table next to him, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to," Ashley slurred before hiccupping, "We learned your parents are…and your sister is no better, but-"

"And apparently…we all have history together…Star's parents are my godparents, Brittney's mom is my manager…who knows what else can happen," Marco picked up a can and took a drink before taking a deep breath, "Anyway…I wandered into the music store and…I can play the guitar, violin and obviously the piano and I was practicing the piano when Ms. Jeri saw me and walked up to me. We talked for a while and before my parents saw us, Ms. Jeri offered me a contract…I took it and…she's been trying to get me away from my family ever since,"

"But why didn't she tell my parents?" Star slurred and everyone looked at her, "Those…your godparents, they needed to help you," Marco sighed before he stood up and staggered over to his blonde housemate, "Hey…what are you doing?"

"I…I think you had enough for all of us," he tried to take the can from her before Star jumped forward and knocked him back and landed on top of him.

Marco's bloodshot eyes widened as his housemates looked down at him and licked their lips. He looked around and slurred, "Uh…we-we-we're all drunk and we don't want to make any mis-"

"What's the problem, Diaz," Higgs slurred and shook her head, "You're the one who said we don't have classes tomorrow, so what's a little extra fun between housemates?" Marco looked around in a panic as his housemates inched closer to him.

Okay…a few things to apologize for. The long hiatus, the length, the crappy cliffhanger…I wanted to turn this chapter into a lemon, but I've got stuck with babysitting duties and my cousin wouldn't give me a damn break for a minute. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
