(A/N okay so I got a mixture of reviews on the last chapter one that confused me. Why was the chapter hilarious?)

Upstairs in our room I lay on my bed feeling broken. Jack came in at some point. Being the youngest we were of course we were taking it the hardest. Bobby was in the bathroom, even though the water was running I could still hear him crying. My attention was brought back to Jack when he started strumming a few chords on his guitar. I sat up in my bed and stared at my brother, his music always helped, now it just confused me.

Jack looked up in my direction, "Come here Riles." he had put his guitar down and moved over so there was room for both of us to lay on his bed. It felt nice to be next to him again. He wrapped his arms around me for comfort being the best big brother he could be.

"You been crying in here ya fairy?" Bobby asked walking into our room, taking a seat on the floor using Jack's bed as a back rest.

"Leave it alone man, leave it alone." Jack's deep voice told me he was holding back tears, trying to be strong.

"How you holding up kid?" Bobby asked.

"Too weird in mom's room?" I countered, I really didn't have an answer to his question.

"Yea too weird. I mean everything's the same, she didn't change anything." Bobby answered looking around.

"She wanted everything to be the same… for when you came home." I stated with a low timid voice.

Look at you guys." Jer said leaning against the frame of the door.

"What are you going on about?" Jack asked. I knew, it had been awhile since everyone had been at home. I only wished that it was under different circumstances.

"Nothing I'm just happy to see my brothers again that's all." I felt the same way. But I had to roll my eyes at his comment.

"Last time I checked Jer, I had boobs." my comment caused an outburst of laughter.

"Boobs, since when?" Bobby retorted. The whole room was filled with laughter. Down the hall Angel was heading to the stairs as Jerry and Bobby were talking about getting a turkey and acting like a real family.

"Where do you think your going?" I asked bringing Angel to everyone's attention.

"It's a little heavy in there. I'm gonna just go outside and get me a little air." Angel answered looking down the stairs. Jack and I started laughing again.

"You're full of shit, man. You can smell that ass from down the street, huh?" It was on, the war between Bobby and Angel over, La Vida Loca.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what we're talking about with La Vida Loca." Bobby chuckled.

"Ain't nobody going to get no La Vida Loca nothing."

"She's got a boyfriend." Jerry added.

"She got a boyfriend. She's got hard dick in her right now. She's screaming somebody else's name, and the last thing she's doing is thinking about your black ass." Finished. Jack was howling with laughter. Jerry and I just watched as Angel had enough and walked out.

"You guys get some rest, you've had a hard day. I'll come over tomorrow and we can have that Thanksgiving dinner." Jerry stated heading for the stairs. Bobby got up and followed him. In all honesty I should have went to my bed, but I was too comfortable with Jack.

"Hey Jack?"

"Yea Riles."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" I asked the extent to how tired I was, showed in my voice.

"Sure."

The Next Morning

Jack moaned and I slowly got up, Bobby's voice was just too damn loud for the morning and Angel's girlfriend wasn't helping at all. I left the room closing the door, trying to give Jack at least some peace this morning.

"Oi Loco Ono shut up! Your giving me a headache!" I yelled walking past her on the stairs.

"Thank you!" Bobby smiled thinking I had sided with him.

"You too Bobby, your voice is just annoying in the morning." I retorted. Angel and Jerry starting laughing as Jack came downstairs yawning.

"Don't get me started on you Angel. What the hell were you thinking bringing her here?" Hell yes I was cranky, I had hardly slept last night. I had to have woken up at least five times from nightmares I hadn't had in god knows how long.

"You know what Angel I'm leaving." Sofi said steaming, she stomped out of the house slamming the door behind her. Once she was gone all eyes were focused on me.

"What crawled up your ass and died?" \Angel asked.

"Nothing." Jack and I went into the kitchen to start preparing the food for dinner.

Kitchen

"You had nightmares last night? Didn't you?" Jack asked putting the turkey in the oven. I was cutting up the vegetables for the salad. I slowly turned around to face him. It was like he could see through me. I nodded.

"How'd you know?" I realized after I had said this that it was one of the most stupid things I could have said.

"You were muttering things in your sleep." how embarrassing is that. I couldn't believe that happened in front of Jack I mean I wanted to impress him, maybe get him to like me. Whoa did I really just think that? We heard Angel and Jeremiah wrestling with Bobby commentating .

"Hey is dinner almost ready? I'm starving." Bobby asked coming in from the living room.

"Yea, just wait a bit." I answered Jack was setting the table the dining room. I was still in the kitchen preparing other things, but I was still listening to their conversation.

"Hey I have a serious question. Have you come out of the closet yet? I mean I don't care I'll still love ya man your my brother and all but I was just wondering." Bobby asked.

"Man I have slept with more women than you ever will." I was slightly hurt by Jack's answer only because I finally realized just how much I liked Jack, and to hear he was sleeping girls left and right, well it kinda stung.

"And they're alright with the fact that your gay?" Damn Bobby was going to far with this.

"I'm not gay."

"Jack why do you let him get to you like that?" Jeremiah asked taking his seat at the table.

"Because I'm not gay." he answered.

"That sounded pretty gay to me. If your not gay then why do you have that big meat tenderizer in your mouth?" I seriously could not believe that Bobby would say such a thing. Jack walked back into the kitchen looking really pissed while Bobby called after him saying he was only joking.

Jack looked like he was just about rip his tongue ring out at any moment. "Jack just don't listen to him. He's just being a prick." I said looking him dead in the eye, " You know some girls think tongue piercing are hot." I added taking the last of the food and putting it on table in the dining room. Jack smirked before joining everyone in the dining room.

We said grace and started to eat it was so awkward eating as a family without mom. I just had to watch my brothers maybe I could see what they felt at the moment. Maybe I wouldn't be the only one that felt broken. I noticed they stared at mom's seat at one point. Jeremiah even reminded Angel of keeping his mouth shut while eating. Something mom had told us all.

"Riley, honey you know Jack needs you. And you need Jack, just be there for each other. I'll always love you sweetheart." I couldn't believe it when I looked at mom's seat for a moment she was there, just like old times. It was too much for me.

"If you'll excuse me." I got up and rush upstairs tears in my eyes. I faintly heard Bobby say that he had enough and that he wanted to go play a pick up game.

Upstairs

"Riles you want to come?" Jack asked from the door of our room. I wiped away my tears before I got up to answer him.

"Yeah I'll come watch, maybe I play. You know if you guys start to lose." I said jokingly. So we went and played hockey just like old times. Of course when I got checked all for of my brothers basically jumped the guy. It was the most fun I had in awhile.

The next day we went and visited the our mothers lawyer to go over her will. It wasn't something I wanted to do but I was dragged along anyway because I was apart of the family. I didn't want to go because that would mean I've excepted what happened and that she was truly gone forever. I was snapped out of my daydream by Jack.

"How much do we get?"

"Jack, what the fuck?" I asked as Bobby smacked him upside the head.

"Come on, man." Jeremiah basically was taking on daddy mode and was disciplining Jack. The lawyer excused himself and retrieved a metal safety deposit box from a counter and set it on the table in front of Bobby. Angel was sitting on his right while Jack was sitting on his left, I was next to Jack and Jerry was next to me.

"I'll leave you to look through it." with that said the lawyer left and Bobby started looking through its contents. First he handed Jeremiah papers and then Jack his own papers. They were their Birth Certificates and adoption papers.

"Henry Ford Hospital. So I am from Detroit." Jerry seemed happy at that thought because he was smiling I slightly wondered if I had papers but then again I didn't need any paper to tell me who my family was because I was sitting right next to them and I loved them more than anything. " My mom was sixteen?"

"I got any papers in there, man?" Angel asked disappointed.

"No."

"You got any papers in there?" he asked.

"No."

"Whoa mom went to Woodstock." I said surprised.

"You didn't know mom was a hippie?" Bobby said cracking up. He then pulled out some money and equally handed it out to Angel, Jerry, and me. He handed Jack one of mom's favorite necklaces. "That'll look good on you."

"Whatever, man." I could tell Jack was disappointed. Hell I would be disappointed, he was always getting treated differently from the rest of us. I took the necklace out of his hand and gave him a look that said 'don't question me.' and handed him the money I got from Bobby.

"it's a very nice necklace, just so happens to be our birthstone Jack." I said clipping the necklace around my neck and walking out with my brothers, Jeremiah had wanted to show us something.
