Gwen's POV

"I work and work and work and work for this family, and all I get in return is my children coming home at all ends of the night!" My father was drunk. Anyone could see that.

"They were at their school for heavens sake, James!" My mother wasn't as drunk, but there were empty, broken, wine glass remains were scattered across the floor by her feet.

"Dad, maybe you should just go to bed," Aly quietly interjected.

He turned to her with stone eyes and a forceful slap was delivered to her face.

Aly had crashed into the side table by the couch. The loud crashing noise could probably be heard from Cat's house.

"And you think just because you're out all night dancing with boys like a little tramp; that you can tell me what to do?" My father yelled. He was the picture of livid, and I couldn't even understand why. He and my mother had another go at it, yelling and whatnot. I crept over to Aly and helped her up.

She leaned against the wall, trying to get stray shards of the lamp out of her arm.

I heard my fathers slurs growing more slurr-ier with every word. Good, he was on the verge of passing out. Seconds later, as his head hit the couch cushion, Beck and Jade burst through the door. I held my fingers to my lips, making it clear to Beck not to say anything.

My mother looked back at my brother. "Beckett, take Allison and Gwendolyn in the RV. Now."

I swear Beck looked like he wanted to kill my dad. Jade walked over and grabbed my hand, leading me out the front door. Beck had Aly, and soon enough we were all in the safety of the Silver Streak.

"Gwen, are you okay?" My older sister looked shell-shocked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. But...are you? I mean, your arm," I pulled her arm towards me to inspect it.

"I'm fine."

Beck was busy looking for Band-Aids or bandages for Aly's cuts.

"What happened?" Jade rubbed her eyes all tired like.

I shrugged. "We just walked in and our parents were already fighting, and then my dad started yelling at us saying how we were late, and then Aly got pushed..."

"We should really just forget. Because that's just what's gonna happen when he wakes up tomorrow. He'll forget everything he said and everything he did. At dinner, he'll ask me what happened to my arm and I'll tell him I fell at dance and scraped it up or something." Aly rolled her eyes.

I knew she was right, though. Daddy always forgets when he has nights like this. We never do, but he does. Our mom we'll tell us he just had a little too much to drink because it was a stressful day at the office.

"Here, Al." Beck opened a wide tough stip band-aid and placed it on the cut up section of Aly's forearm. He cupped his hands around her face, "Now listen. You too, Gwen. What happened wasn't your fault."

I nodded, but Aly just got up pushing Beck out of the way. "I'm not retarted. Of course it's not my fault, I'm pretty sure it's Captain Morgan and Jack Daniels fault."

Beck shook his head and sighed.

Really, Aly? He was only trying to help. It helped me.

I watched as Allison opened the door and stepped outside. "Uhm, Aly?" Jade called after her.

"We can't all sleep in the RV, I'm going back in the house."

I looked at Beck, wondering if I should go after her. Instead he got up and made for the exit, "Stay." He told Jade and I before he walked out.

"I'm staying here because I want to stay here. Not because he told me." She mumbled.

I almost laughed. Jade didn't like being told what to do, but she always knew when Beck needed to be alone or something.

I couldn't help but wonder what Aly's problem was now.

Aly's POV

"Allison, are you gonna talk to me or not?" My older brother asked, walking from behind.

You wouldn't understand. You weren't there.

I sighed. "Why did he hit me, huh?"

Beck walked closer until he was next to me. "He's drunk, Aly."

"He didn't even yell at Gwen. Of course not, because she's better. She's always been better, hasn't she? That's why they adopted her. Because I was such a disappoinment, not growing up the way they planned. I'm just the trampy daughter after all..."

Did I really just blame Gwen? I shouldn't have said that, crap.

"Allison Jane. They didn't adopt Gwen because they didn't like you. That would be ridiculous, you were literally one year old when Gwen came." We had started walking and were already halfway down the road.

Of course I knew why Gwen was put up for adoption.

Beck told me that her real mom got pregnant when she was sixteen and she didn't want a baby. What a bi- grunge.

"Even though you were a really annoying baby." Beck smirked.

I couldn't help but smile. "Oh, thanks, Aladdin."

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked back to the RV.

"Aly-kins, are you okay?" Gwen hugged me upon entering. "Yeah, yeah. I'm okay." I looked over to Beck's bed which now held a sleeping Jade.

"Adorable." Beck whispered. Gwen and I exchanged a 'lolol, we should tell jade that' look.

After awhile, brother dear fell asleep, and then Gwen.

My sisters was on my lap and I looked down. Seriously, how could I live without this?

/

Sean Moretti sent you a Relationship Request.

I smiled to myself, hit accept and refeshed the page, just so I could see the words.

Allison Oliver is dating Sean Moretti.

New status update? I think so. Kickback was AMAZING.

I wonder what Beck's face will look like when he logs on and see's the new updates. He'd probably ask me a thousand questions and the yell about how I'm too young to have a boyfriend.

But, he and Jade were still sleeping. Gwen and I had woken up relatively early and quietly went into the house.

And I was right. The first words out of my dad's mouth: "Princess, what happened to your arm?"

I shrugged and told him I tripped at the Kickback and hurt myself. My mother gave me a nod of approval, like it was a prize to lie. Every bad thing that happens in this house just gets shoved aside.

My bulimia? She'll get better eventually.

Gwen found out she was adopted? It's no big deal, Gwendolyn.

Beck moved into a trailer? That's nice, sweetheart.

Daddy gets drunk and smashed you into a lamp? Lie because it'll make everything better.

The hem of my sweatpants buzzed violently and I slid my phone out.

New Text Message From Sexy McSexyton: thanks for accepting my request(:

I forgot I hadn't changed his name in my phone. I smiled though. Duh, Sean. Of course I was going to accept it. I scrolled down the main slap page looking at everyones updates. Trina was practicing her moves, oh god. That lesson went terrible wrong. First off, she almost kicked me in the face. Second...well, she's just a really bad dancer.

Tori and Andre were going out to lunch. AW! I mean, oh, how fun.

Robbie was at his MawMaw's house. Really? I was under the impression he lived there...

Cat was re-dying her hair. I smiled. Cat was exceptionally good at dyeing hair. She's the only one I trust to dye my hair. Gwen said I should let it grow back in brown, but I like it better blonde.

Oh, look at that. Gwenny's update.

Gwendolyn Oliver is now dating David Shizuka.

I'm glad she has a boyfriend. Maybe now she'll learn to be more mature, and maybe, I dunno, have a major makeout session? How would that even work...David's extremally tall compared to my sister, so either he would have to bend down, or we'd have to get her some phone books.

There was a knock at my door. "Are you taking a shower?" Oh, it's Gwen.

"Later; come in." She walked in and plopped on my bed. "Did you check out The Slap?" She grinned.

"Oliver girls are taken," I chuckled and shut my laptop. It felt good to be taken. Like, I belonged to someone. Sure, I would miss checking out delicious hotties and wondering what are babies would look like...but yeah, I love Sean.

"David invited me over to his house to like, meet his parents on Monday." Gwen smiled brightly.

"Awesome. And then you guys can go up to his room," I raised my eyebrows suggestively.

She wasn't a complete idiot, "We've been on one date and you already want me to do the tongue with him?"

"The least you could do is let him get to second base."

"Alllllyyyy, shut up." She threw my panda pillow pet at my head.

"Just saying,"

"Well, sue me if I don't want David feeling me up. Would you want Sean too? I do recall you saying you don't like people putting their hands all over, " Gwen moved her bangs out of her face.

"Sean's not just a person, he's my boyfriend. And I totally plan on letting him." I smirked.

She rolled her eyes back at me. "Oh, and should I tell Beck that?"

I gave her a serious looked and she raised her hands defensively.

Soon, I'll be eligible to join the tongue wrestling team. My tongue against Sean's. The thought of my boyfriend and I having a hot make out session seriously made me want to run to his house and glomp him. But, I couldn't do that.

I don't know where he lives.

I looked in the mirror across the room, mainly staring at my chest area. "Do you think my boobs are too small?"

"Bigger than mine," Her attention was taken over by the DS in her hands. When did that even get here?

"That is true."

"Why?" She looked up from her stupid game.

"I don't want Sean to have to go on an Easter egg hunt for them,"

Needless to say, Gwendolyn looked disgusted.

Gwen's POV

"An easter egg hunt?" I mumbled to no one. I sat on my bed backwards and put my feet on the wall. Aly was in the shower, taking forever as usual.

You know, how far would Aly really let him get? Personally, I don't want David's gigantic hands under my shirt. Making out would be pretty nice, but I still think I'm a bit young for the whole...second base thing.

"Beck saw your new relationship status," Jade called out, apparently walking up the stairs.

Poop.

She made it to my room and sat nex to me. "Did he completely freak out?"

"Well-"

"Gwendolyn! Allison!" And so the yelling begins. I facepalmed and hoisted myself right side up. Beck walked right in and crossed his arms in his ol' brotherly way. "Aly's in the shower." I said, refusing to look him in the eye.

"What did I do now?" As is on cue, Aly stepped in with fresh clothes and sopping wet hair.

Beck narrowed his eyes. "One date. One date and you're already on relationship status level?"

"Uh, yeah? Best. Date. Of my life," Aly smiled.

He sighed. "Gwen, you already know what I'm gonna say,"

"That broken glass isn't good for my tummy, although I may think it's kinda yummy. I should stay in school and don't eat broken glass."

And that's when Aly died of laughter.

"See? This is why they shouldn't be aloud to hang out with Robbie." Jade grinned and Beck ran his fingers through this hair.

Aly calmed herself and got off the carpet, "Alright, alright. I'm good. You were saying, bro?"

"Look, you two are seriously too young to have boyfriends. Your hormones are raging and things might happen."

Did my brother just say hormones?

"Oh? Things like what?" Aly basically dared him to say it. Beckett looked behind to his girlfriend for help.

"What he means is, he's afraid you'll go to far." Jade was in the corner cutting up construction paper.

Oh my god. He can't mean both of us. "Mainly you, Allison." Oh, good.

My sisters mouth gaped open, but then quickly shut. Weren't we just talking about this in her room? The whole second base thing?

She knew he was right, and he knew she knew he was right, which scared him.

Wow, I think the word 'knew' just lost it's meaning.

"Really? Because I know these two people who only waited until they were sixteen."

Beck looked worried and miffed, all in one face.

Oh, Aly. did you really have to?
