I hope you all enjoy it because I really like writing this story…Enjoy!!!

Skye is lying down in her bed sleeping when a woman who looked to be about 25 entered her bedroom. She had brown hair and green eyes. The woman sat down on the bed and watched as Skye's eyes fluttered open.

"Rise and shine, Skye."

"Melanie, you do know that it's the weekend right?"

"Of course I do sweetie, but your brother told me about your date last night and I wanted to hear some of it."

Skye sits up in her bed and smiles.

"It was the best night of my life."

Melanie smiles and nods her head.

"Please tell me it was with Brianna Evans."

"It was," Skye says with a smile.

"Thank god, all you have been talking about is this girl."

"We kissed last night. Mel, it was amazing. I've kissed girls before, but this was so much different. It felt right and it felt perfect," Skye whispers with a smile.

Melanie smiles and brushes the hair out of Skye's hair.

"I remember a day like that with me. It was the day I married your brother."

Skye nods her head.

"He's worried about me isn't he?"

Melanie nods her head.

"He's being the overprotective brother-slash-father. It's just who he is."

"He doesn't have to worry about me."

"Skye the last relationship you had got you kicked out of your house."

"No it didn't. I got kicked out because my parents are homophobic. They always pictured their only little girl to like guys, but I don't I am gay and I love girls."

"And does Brianna like girls?"

"It's different with her. She falls for the person not the gender. She's a sweet and sexy girl," Skye says with a smile.

Melanie laughs and looks at the rose that is on Skye's desk.

"She give you that?" Melanie asks as she points to the rose.

Skye nods her head.

"You know what it means don't you?"

"Yes, I do and I feel the same way."

Melanie stands up from the bed and looks at her sister-in-law.

"Well in that case she needs to come for dinner."

Skye looks at Melanie and her eyes go wide.

"She can't," Skye says as she stands up from her place on the bed.

"Why can't she?" Melanie says as she puts her hands on her hips.

"I really haven't told her about my home life," Skye whispers.

Melanie sighs and gives Skye a hug.

"If she told you hers I think it's about time you told yours, don't you think sis?"

Skye nods her head.

"Dinner sometime next week."

"Alright," Skye says as she watches Melanie leave her bed room. Skye sits back down on her bed and groans.

Brianna is sitting at her desk with a word document open on her computer. Peyton walks in and looks over Brianna's shoulder.

"You're stuck aren't you?" Peyton asks as she sits on Brianna's bed. Brianna turns and faces Peyton.

"Pretty much, Peyton, I can't write this paper."

"Can you answer me a question Bri?"

"Depends on what the question is."

Peyton smiles and asks the question.

"What is family to you?"

"Um, I don't know. I used to think it was about having a mother and her loved one along with having a brother or a sister."

"Why did you say 'used to'?"

"Because I don't have that anymore, I don't have a normal family or what people consider normal."

Peyton smiles and stands.

"Start there," Peyton says before leaving Brianna's room.

Brianna lets out a breath and looks around her room. On her desk are 3 different pictures, one picture is of her and Skye while they were sitting by their favorite tree. The other picture was of her, Brooke and Peyton. The last one was of her mother, Sarah, Tyler and her. Sarah had her arms around her mother's waist and was kissing her cheek while Tyler was on Brianna's shoulder.

Brianna smiles and turns back to her computer and starts writing…

Peyton walks into the living room and sits down next to her wife. Lucas and Brooke were talking about something while Summer was sitting in Lindsey's lap.

"Brianna is currently writing her paper," Peyton says as Brooke grabs her hand. "What are you and Lucas talking about?"

Brooke laughs and looks at her wife.

"He was asking me if Brianna has shown her teenage angst yet."

"She hasn't Lucas, but I don't know if she will."

"What were you two like in high school?" Lucas asks with a smirk.

Brooke and Peyton look at each other and groan while Lindsey and Lucas laugh.

Brooke gets up from the coach when she hears a knock. Brooke opens the door and Skye walks in.

"Hey Brooke."

Brooke grins at Skye and hugs her.

"What was that for?"

"Because you are dating my daughter."

Skye looks around the room and blushes.

"Is Bri here?" Skye asks with a smile.

"Yeah, hold on a second," Brooke says as she walks over to the stair well. "Brianna your girl is here!"

Everyone in the room laughs.

A few moments later Brianna walks into the room with her paper in her hand and gives it to Peyton.

"I'll be home later, okay bye," Brianna says before grabbing Skye's hand and walking out the door.

When the door closes Lucas looks at Brooke and Peyton.

"Skye is dating Brianna?" Lucas asks in shock.

Outside, Brianna and Skye are walking hand in hand.

"Stop for a second," Skye says while halting their movements.

"What?"

"You forgot to kiss me," Skye says with a grin.

Brianna laughs and gives Skye a soft kiss on the lips.

"How was that?" Brianna asks with a grin.

"Perfect."

"So, what was so urgent that you had to see me today?"

"I have to tell you about me and my home life," Skye says softly.

Brianna and Skye take a seat on a nearby bench and Skye rests her head on Brianna's shoulders.

"Baby, tell me," Brianna whispers.

"I live with my brother Ty and his wife Melanie. About a year ago I was dating this girl and it was nice and I really liked her, but I had not come out to my parents, but I did with my brother. Anyway, when I told them they were really mad. They are homophobic and they kicked me out. My brother took me in and is now my legal guardian. I haven't seen my parents in over a year."

"Okay, but you do know that I didn't have to know right?"

Skye lifts her head off of Brianna's shoulder and looks at her.

"I felt that I had to though because you told me about your home life and you're my girlfriend and I just thought it was time that I told you about me."

Brianna nods her head in agreement.

"And there is something else," Skye whispers.

"What is it?"

"My brother's wife Melanie said that she wants you to come over for dinner…to meet them."

Brianna laughs and then smiles at her girlfriend.

"I guess I have to the whole meet the parent's thing huh? I've never done that before."

"How come?"

"Because I was never in a relationship for that long to actually have to."

"How long do you think we will be together?"

"Skye, we just started dating and you're worried, but you don't have to be. I care for you and I would love to meet your family."

Back at the Sawyer house everyone is looking at Peyton funny. She seems to have a trickle of tears running down her face.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Peyton looks up from Brianna's paper and smiles.

"Brianna wrote her paper."

"Why is it making you cry?" Brooke asks confused.

"They're happy tears. Do you want to hear it?" Peyton asks.

Everyone in the room nods their heads and Peyton starts reading the essay.

My family is different than most. It's true that I have a mother and I have a father although I haven't seen him in forever, but there are other people in my family. My mother Laura was married to her friend Sarah, they were married when I was around 7 years old. I have a little brother named Tyler. That was what I had considered my family, but now they are all gone. 2 years ago I lost my mother and brother and the year before that I lost Sarah. Still have no clue where my father is or what I liked to call the sperm donor.

A few months ago, I met some new people. I met Brooke, Peyton and their family or what they call their family. I also met Skyler. I consider them my second family. Brooke and Peyton have been great and a lot of the times they remind me of my own mother and Sarah. Brooke and Peyton aren't really close to their family, but they are close to their friends, the entire Scott family. Their friends are their family which is why I considered Skyler into mine. She is my best friend.

My family isn't like others. Some have step parents or step siblings. Other's are from single parent households with no siblings or some are from single parent households with siblings. I have two families, the one that I was born into and the one that I made for myself. I don't just have a definite definition of family because honestly, no one can out a definition on family. It's what the individual thinks. So, family has many different definitions and I can't just make one. It's impossible.

A/N-So we got info on Skye's past a little bit and we met Ty's wife. I hope you liked Brianna's essay. More chapters to come and I hope you liked this one. Read and Review please!!!!!!!
