"YOU LEFT HER HERE ALONE!" Bobby screamed causing Arieanna fell straight out of bed. She hit the floor hard on her elbow.

"SHIT!" she yelled. She jumped to her feet and stormed to the door

"She is fine Bobby. She fell asleep and I left to find you guys!" Sofi yelled back

"You are so fuckin' crazy! I swear!" Bobby yelled.

"Excuse me!" Arieanna yelled "It is 3 in the morning! Some people like to sleep at this time and some would murder if you woke them up! What the hell is going on?" she yelled

"Nothing!" Sofi and Bobby yelled at her.

"Can we please stop yelling then?" Arieanna asked

"Yes…" Bobby replied still glaring at Sofi

Arieanna started back upstairs but turned back around "Find anything with moms boyfriend?" she smirked

"You knew?" Bobby asked

"Yeah and I tried telling you but your so hardheaded."

"You never tried telling me anything" Bobby replied

"I was trying to tell you last night but you just stormed out. You don't listen to people Bobby when you are so focused on something. Its so annoying. You didn't hurt him did you?"

"No…he told us he was seeing her."

"After Bobby slapped him around a little" Jack chimed in

"Jack…shut the hell up!" Bobby yelled

"I am going back to bed!" Arieanna replied "This is just too much at 3 in the morning."

She walked back upstairs to her room and passed out of her bed.

The next morning Arieanna was so tired but she knew she needed to get out of bed. School started in two days and she was dreading it. She opened her door and heard the showering going. She walked past the bathroom and sees Bobby sitting on the toilet with the door wide open.

"OMG!" Arieanna yelled. She grabbed her nose and ran past the door.

"Hey hey!" Bobby yelled "Get back here!"

"Don't you know how to shut the door?" Arieanna asked still holding her nose

"I did!" Jack yelled from the shower

"When you gotta go you gotta go!" Bobby told her with a smile on his face.

"What do you want?" Arieanna asked. She poked her head around the corner on her door and stared at her brother.

"You want to hang out today?" Bobby asked. Arieanna just stared at her older brother.

"What not killing anyone today?" she asked bluntly

Bobby rolled his eyes "Can we talk about this after you get off the toilet?" Arieanna asked not letting him talk. She turned around and ran straight into Angel.

"Hey!" he replied. He walked past her into the bathroom, then walked straight back out. Arieanna just died out laughing.

"Whoa!" he said fanning in front of his face. "That's Bobby for you!"

Arieanna laughed again "Yeah….he sure knows how to make everyone leave!"

"Hey shutup!" Bobby yelled from the bathroom.

"No seriously!" Angel replied still laughing "You know me and Sofi did a lot of making up last night!"

Bobby chuckles while nodding his head. Arieanna just rolls her eyes until Angel opened up his robe. "I think I got a little rust on my tools!"

"Holy shit!" she yelled "What the hell are you doing?" Arieanna quickly covered her eyes

"Get the hell out!" Angel yelled

"Yo man don't go showing that shit to me!" Bobby yelled "Ask the cockologist in the shower!"

"How the hell would I know?" Jack asked "I am just trying to take a damn shower in peace and that's not even working"

"Just look!" Bobby replied. Jack poked his head around the shower curtain. He looked for 2 seconds at Angel crotch, "Rug burn." He replied then going back to his shower.

"I swear I do not understand why God decided to punish me!" Arieanna replied throwing her hands in the air.

"He punishedYou!" Bobby replied

"Yes, you guys call Jack gay but yet you will sit in a bathroom while one is showering and the other is taking a shit. And then theres you, just showing your unit to everyone!"

"UNIT!" the boys said in unison. They start laughing while she just rolls her eyes

"You guys need to grow up!" she replied annoyed. They just continued to laugh. After a while everyone finally settled down.

"Hey you guys I don't think Jerry is being true to us!" Angel replied

Arieannas eyes get huge as she listened to her brother. "He is some serious trouble. He's gone bankrupt and hasn't had money for a long time."

"Are you serious man?" Bobby asked. Arieanna eyes just filled with tears as she listened to her brother talk about Jerry.

"Listen I need you guys to go look into this Douglas man. He is a counselman, and I think he would know about what is going on with Jerry"

"Wait what are you going to do?" Arieanna asked

"Yeah Angel what are you going to do?" Bobby asked as well

"I got other things I need to look in to" he replied fixing to walk out of the bathroom.

"Angel if you have something then tell us!" Bobby replied

" This is a situation that's going to require a little finesse. And giving your prior reputation as a hothead, you'll be the first one to fuck it up." Angel replied
"What are you talking about? I wrote the fucking book on finesse! Just let me wipe my ass…" Bobby yelled after his brother. Arieanna rolled her eyes and walked out of the bathroom "So much for a day out with my brothers!" she replied.

"Will someone get me some toilet paper!" Bobby yelled throwing the empty roll

"Get it your own damn self!" Arieanna replied. She slammed her door to her bathroom. She heard Angel close the door to outside. She just prayed that Jerry had nothing to do with moms death, or Bobby would do something so stupid. She heard a loud bang on her door and she stormed over and opened it

"Whats your problem?" Jack asked

"Nothing I just want all this shit to stop. I want to spend some time with you guys and its never going to happen."

"Come here!" he told her. He wrapped his arms around his sister "Here I got something for you!" he told her. He sat her down on her bed and pulled an envelope out of his pocket. "We went to see the lawyer after mom died and she had a box full of things. Information about us, money, concert tickets, and this necklace. I'm sure she would want you to have this, but what I really wanted to show you is this." He opened the envelope. "Did you know anything about your parents?"

"Yeah I knew my dad but nothing about my mom or anything else why?"

Jack smiled "Your mom was a singer. She sang all over the world, but wasn't well known. She sang in clubs and toured once. She found out she was pregnant with you and decided to settle down and take care of you. She wanted a child more than anything.Evidently she settled down with the wrong man. He ended up killing her one night when he was drunk. Hedidnt want a child in his house.He beat her to death one night, you were just a littlegirl. You probably dont remember anything.You had a baby sister, she was about 2 when that happened with your mom."

"What happened to her?" Arieanna asked interested like a little kid with a scary story.

"She died in a car accident 2 years ago. You guys were split up when you went into foster care. Except you always ended back with your dad, and she just moved from foster home to foster home. She actually found a good place, with a good mom and a good dad. She was driving to a friends house and was hit by a drunk driver. Evelyn left a picture of her in the box and it was in the envelope." He lifted the picture out and showed his sister. A petite, blonde girl was hugging a man and woman on the beach. She was so beautiful "She looks exactly like you Rie." Jack responded

"She is beautiful!" Arieanna replied "Jack, I had a sister and a mother that I didn't know anything about."

"Yeah, Rie you were just a little girl when she was killed. You couldnt have done anything. Just like you couldnt have done anything with 'our' mother."

"Did he blame me? Is that why he hit me and kicked me?" she asked, tears started welling up in her eyes "Was is my fault?"

"No of course not. None of this is your fault. Rie your mother loved you. She gave up singing for you just so she could have you."

"Why? Why did she have me?"

"Why are you saying all this?" Jack asked rubbing the side of her face "You are meant to be in this world whether you think so or not. You are meant to be in this family, and you are meant to be here right now with us. Screw your father. He was an asshole who needed a life. You don't have to see him again."

"What else was in the envelope?"

"A letter…"

"From who?"

"Evelyn.."

"Jack!" she said starting to sob. Jack embraced his sister in his arms and pulled the letter out.

"I'll read it…" he replied.

Arieanna,

My baby! I love you with all my heart. You mean the world to me. I can remember the day you walked into my life, and it was such a blessing from God. You were just so cute in your little pokadotted dress and hair in a little bun, like you were a perfect angel. We found out later if you were or not. I remember you looking straight at Bobby and weren't scared of anything. Angel just loved messing with you though, you would always follow him around. He loved you, probably more than his self. Jeremiah would always make sure you weren't into trouble. He would always be there to get you out whether it be at home or at school. Then there is Jack, I never knew that you guys would be the best of friends. He would always watch out for you, you two did everything together. He truly loves you with all his heart. You two were meant to be together as brother and sister. You changed him Rie, you were always watching out for him too. Arieanna I want you to know that you mean the world to me, along with your brothers. All of you made my life so much better. I know that when I am gone that your brothers will watch out for you and protect you. They love you Arieanna. They would give up everything to protect you. Never underestimate the power of family. Faith will guide you to where you need to be. All you need to do is believe in that faith and trust in it. Have faith in your brothers, listen to them, love them I love you with every part of me. Have faith and stay strong, don't give in to the temptation.

I love you,

Your Mother

Arieanna wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face, as Jack folded the letter up and put it back into the envelope. "Rie, that letter is the truth. You need to trust it. Trust what our mother said to you. Have faith in us and know that we are trying to protect you."

"I trust you Jack, I trust all of you. I know that you guys will protect me for everything. I don't trust myself."

"You are going to have to learn to do that Rie. Only you can do that."

"Thanks Jack for showing me that. I never knew any of this. All I can remember about my mother was she was beautiful."

He smiled "You are beautiful Rie. Mom was right, we are destined to be together. You changed my life in so many ways and I love you for that. I am sorry that I left. I never should have, but I am here now. I want to rekindle what we had. Bobby loves you too. You have to believe that. Yeah he freaks out a lot but you know that's just Bobby. That boy loves you with every bone in his body and would kill for you. You know that right?"

"Of course." She replied "Jack, you don't think Jerry had something to do with moms death do you?"

He looked down at the ground "To tell you the truth, I have no clue. I hope not. Oh man I hope not." He let out a deep sigh.

"I pray he didn't." she replied "Bobby would kill him without even thinking. That's what scares me the most about him. He doesn't think, just gets revenge."

"Nothing is going to happen to Jerry, Rie. We are just going to go talk to this counselman and then talk to Jerry. It has to be some misunderstanding, it has to be,"

She nods her head but hears Bobby walk into her room. He is smiling "You guys alright?" he asked "Crying you little fairy?"

Jack rolled his eyes "Are we leaving yet?"

"Yeah, I was just coming to get you guys."

"You mean I get to come watch this?" Arieanna replied

"Yes, we aren't killing anyone. I don't plan on killing anyone anymore. I promise" Bobby told her

"Good…." Arieanna replied, just got up from the bed and hugged Bobby " Then maybe one day we can spend sometime together without interruptions"

"Yeah about that…" Bobby started

"Save it Bobby. Lets just go."

He smiled at her and messed up her hair, she swatted at his arm and ran down the stairs. The 2 boys followed her "We are going to have to have a talk with Angel about letting family in on secrets. He needs to learn he cant keep anything from us. We always find out what is going on."

"Yep, but something tells me that I don't want to know what is going on!" Arieanna responded looking out the window. It finally stopped snowing, but there was about 3 inches on the ground still making the roads a little slick. Thank God they got a rental car and not that piece of crap Bobby wrecked. She just stared out the window, Bobby reached over and grabbed her hand gave it a little squeeze. She slowly turned her head and looked at her brother. A smile came across her face.

"I promise when this is all over, we will all go out as a family and do something. Me, you, Jack, Angel, and Jeremiah."

"If Jeremiah is still alive!" Arieanna responded without thinking. She just closed her eyes but heard Bobby laughing

"He might be hurting, but he'll still be alive." She smiled at the comment and finally felt at ease about all this. Maybe Jeremiah was just in trouble with the bank and had absolutely nothing to do with moms death. After all he did watch out for them when everyone else left. He was always there making sure they had what they needed. He paid the bills, and made sure Arieanna was staying out of trouble. He couldn't have hurt someone he loved so much. Right?

Author: There you go, another chapter. I hope everyone liked this one. I decided to change somethings and add somethings. Also you guys didn't know that much about her past so I put somethings in there. Also in the next chapter will be some flashbacks of when she was living with her dad, so if you don't like beatings then you might not want to read the next chapter. Also I don't know what I am going to with Jack yet. I am getting a lot of request not to kill him. Haha! Yes it was sad that he died in the movie, but it also made the movie great. I never expected one of them to die. Haha but anyways…please please REVIEW! I love seeing those emails pop up that I have reviews! Thank you!
