Yeah first chappie! Well second...w/e. -.-

The room was a wreck. All you could see were clothes thrown on the ground and a bump on a bed. That bump, was Joey. She groaned as her alarm went off playing " Ocean Avenue", and rolled off her bed, literally.

A small "Ow." Was heard from the right ride of her bed, as she stood up looking groggy and frustrated.

" Stupid alarm going off at friggin 7 AM..." She said to herself. Her eyes widened. She was going to be late for her own graduation...shit. She switches the song over to Get Free by The Vines and grabs random Grateful Dead Band T-shirt off of a chair along with a pair of torn jeans and underwear and runs to the bathroom only to emerge from it five minutes later.

Looking at her clock, Joey grabs her book bag and skateboard and puts on her chucks. Grabbing a hair clip she runs out of her room her cell phone and iPod in tow. She skateboards down the busy streets of L.A, heading towards her school, only to arrive twenty minutes late.

After a long and tedious ceremony, she was finally free. Although she was rather ticked off that her mother had not shown up, she'd promised to be there the day before but there was no sign of her. Sighing, Joey grabbed her skateboard, said goodbye to her friends, and skated towards her home. On the way she saw something that would change her life forever.

There had been a car accident so big a few hours earlier that they had not cleared the street yet, and being pulled out of a black Jeep Wrangler that had been completely destroyed, was her mother. Joey gasped and ran towards the car wreck that is until an office tried to stop her. " You can't go by miss. Go along your way."

" That's my mom!" Joey answered as she forced herself past him and closer to her mom's dying body." Mom?" Joey said as tears spilled from her eyes. Joey's mother opened her eyes and lightly smiled. " Joey," she whispered. " You belong with your father now."

" No mom! You're gonna be fine! We just need to go to the hospital now. No one will listen." Joey looked up shaking as she cried and yelled, " WHY WONT ANYONE TAKE US TO A HOSPITAL? CAN'T YOU SEE SHE NEEDS A DOCTOR? PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP!" People looked at her with pity as she wrapped her arms around her mother's now dead corpse and cried.

Two Weeks Later...

It had been a year since she last saw his mother and sister, and when the news of his mom dying came it hit him hard. Sure he hadn't spent as much time with her as he'd like, but she was still his mother and she had been good to him. Now, Joey, his sister, would come live with him and his father.

Eric Rivers stood at gate 30 waiting for Joey's arrival but so far all the people who had come out were obviously not here, hence the fact that he is still standing there... Then he saw her. There she was, all grown up. Yes, corny, but hey he's older by a minute. " Joey!" He called to her.

Joey smiled when she saw Eric calling and what appeared to be waving her over, she wasn't sure because it looked like he was having a spasm. " Eriiiiiiiic" She said as she carried out the "i" a little longer than usual.

" Joeeeeeeeyyyy" Eric replied and enveloped her into a hug. " I've missed you sis, how are you doing? Better?"

" Yeah, I'm faring nicely good sir, and art thou faring well as well?"

" Nay, for my father hath been home lately and i utterly despise him like Queen Mab despises ear wax."

" For thou hath not changed. I am glad." Joey laughed and shook her head. " We haven't done that in years! Man i can't believe i still remember the words."

Eric chuckled and agreed. " Yeah, i thought you had gotten over Shakespeare and i wouldn't have to carry on the conversation..."

" Yeah well i saw As You Like It last month and I've been back on Shakespeare since then."

" Oh god, sometimes i swear you're not my sister..."

" Yeah, I'm too intelligible to be related to you."

" ...Right" Eric chuckled and wrapping his right arm around Joey's neck he pulled her outside. " Now there isn't any more luggage right?"

" Nope. But I'd like my head back please." Joey responded.

"Yeah...maybe later."

With that, Joey and Eric walked out of the airport and to the bus stop to wait for a bus taht would take them home and into a new life.

Cheesy i know but eh. XD
