Drake's POV

The plane had landed and we were finally in California, my old home town. I told Adam and Josh we would be staying at mine for the night as Warped Tour didn't start till tomorrow afternoon. So that gave me time to show them both around and to let them meet some friends of mine. Little did they know they were going to a photo shoot where none other than Black Veil Brides were at also. I asked Andy, CC, Ashley, Jake and Jinxx to come along and meet Adam and Josh. Yes, I know Black Veil Brides, I toured with them when I was with my old band and I hoped this would be the biggest surprise for Josh and Adam. We stepped into the terminal at the California Airport and waited for our luggage.

"So do you live yourself or with anyone else?" Adam asked.

"Well, I still live with my parents, I can't leave them for some reason. I feel completely lost without them" I replied.

Adam nodded as he grabbed a bag from the conveyor belt and Josh and I did also when we saw our bags.

"Hey, where did Zoe go?" Josh questioned.

"Over there" I said, pointing to Zoe over at the food court.

"Didn't she eat on the plane?" Adam said.

I shook my head lightly.

"She hates plane food remember" Josh mumbled.

Adam slapped his forehead and I started to laugh at them both. We picked our bags up and walked over to Zoe as she sat down at a table with food. I sat next to her and Josh and Adam sat across from us.

"So, the two of you listen up. You are gonna go to Drake's, drop off your shit and then Drake is gonna bring you to a photography studio where we have a photographer waiting to take photos of you" Zoe said between a mouthful of food.

"Why?" Josh and Adam asked at the same time.

"Because...the organizers of Warped Tour are going to be promoting you guys around a little" I muttered.

"Woah...awesome" Adam whispered.

Josh nodded his head and I smiled a little. I nudged Zoe lightly as I knew she had something else to say. Something that the boys might not like.

"Ah yes...there is something else...I'm not coming to Warped Tour with you...in fact I'm not your manager anymore" Zoe explained.

Adam and Josh's jaws drop and I bit my lip slightly. This can't be good.

Josh Stitches' POV

"Ah yes...there is something else...I'm not coming to Warped Tour with you...in fact I'm not your manager anymore" Zoe explained.

My jaw dropped and so did Adam's.

"What!" I exclaimed.

Zoe nodded her head and I frowned a little. How could she be leaving us like this! Why oh why!

"But...why..." Adam muttered as a tear slid down his face.

"Truth is I've had a boyfriend for a while now, and you two never knew and well...I'm pregnant now..." she replied.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Wow..." I mumbled.

"So we go to Warped Tour with no manager?" Adam questioned.

"Pretty much" Zoe said.

I folded my arms and sat back and bit my lip. This was not what I expected. How were we gonna cope!

"Listen I gotta go I'm seeing the boyfriend in an hour. See you both soon" Zoe said as she stood up and walked off.

"So...let's go to my place and then get to this photo shoot" Drake said cheerfully.

I stood up and grabbed my stuff and muttered to myself. Adam and Drake followed closely behind. Suddenly this tall guy with blue hair, red eyes, pale skin and snakebites ran towards us.

"Elliot!" Drake exclaimed.

"Drakey bear!" the guy who appeared to be Elliot yelled back.

Drake ran up to him and they embraced in a tight hug and shared a little kiss.

"Someone get me a bucket" I mumbled.

Adam punched my arm and I winced.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed.

"Don't be mean!" Adam yelled.

I rubbed my arm and pouted my lip just as Drake and his mystery man walked up.

"So these are the two sexy Australians!" Elliot yelled.

"Elliot! Don't say that" Drake exclaimed.

"Oh sorry hehe" Elliot giggled.

"It's nice to meet you" Adam said, shaking Elliot's hand.

Elliot smiled and I shook his hand lightly. If I had to stay in a house with these two I was going to flip. I'm not a homophobe I just hate seeing mushy shit. I picked up my bag as we started to make our way out of the airport. Drake and Elliot walked in front of Adam and I, hand in hand. Adam smiled a little and I rolled my eyes.

"What? It's cute" Adam said.

"Yeah sure" I mumbled as we walked out of the entrance to the airport.

Please make this trip go fast for the love of god.

Skyler's POV

"Skyler you fucking bitch! You're gonna be late for your stupid photoshoot thing, hurry up!" my boyfriend Ricky yelled as he pounding on my bedroom door.

"Fuck off Ricky! I'll be ready when I'm ready!" I screamed back.

I hated living with him, he was a horrible boyfriend. We've been together for at least 8 months now and he treats me like crap. I stay with him though because I love him and I'm afraid of him killing me or something if I break his heart. He beats me a lot and I have to cover up the bruises, he also forces me to have sex with him every night. I can't take it anymore, I hoped this photoshoot would take my mind off things. I looked in the mirror and sighed at the bright purple bruise I got under my eye from last night. I covered it with concealer and foundation and then put on the rest of my makeup. I straightened and teased my hair then changed into a BVB shirt, black skinny jeans and converse. I grabbed my bag, keys and camera and made my way downstairs.

"About fucking time" Ricky snarled.

"Shut up fuck head" I growled back.

He grabbed me by the arm and slammed me against the wall and I winced in pain.

"Don't back chat me bitch, get in the fucking car so we can go" he spat.

I shakily moved away from the wall and made my way out the door and to the car. I sat in the passenger seat and dabbed my eyes with a tissue from the tears I felt coming.

"You better behave while I am taking photos" I muttered to Ricky.

"I will, just don't go flirting with any guys, I am warning you" Ricky replied.

"Yes sir" I said sarcastically.

A stinging sensation hit my cheek as Ricky slapped me hard.

"Shut up!" he yelled.

I started to cry again and dabbed my eyes continously, I couldn't let him see me cry.

He pulled out of the driveway and we sped down the road to the venue. I've never met the new band I was going to be photographying. I knew I was going to be seeing Black Veil Brides, I've known the boys for a while, all I knew was that this new band was called In Stitches and consisted of three guys, Adam, Josh and Drake. The name Drake rang a bell, I have a brother called Drake, but he doesn't own the same name as me. I haven't seen him in years, it made me angry. My heart started to pound widely at the thought of this Drake I was going to meet was actually my brother. I looked out the window and bit my lip. What if he was...?

Adam Vanity's POV

I can't get over how rude Josh was being to Drake and Elliot. They were offering us a place to stay for the night and he had to be all stupid about it. We walked into the hallway of the venue and looked around at all the band photos that were framed. I was wondering who took them because they look amazing. Josh looked at one of Andy from BVB giving the finger to a hater and we both laughed. We walked along and saw more bands like Motionless in White, Bullet for My Valentine, Green Day and then we came across to Blood on The Dance Floor. I had a little fan boy moment when I saw Jayy Von Monroe, I have a man crush on that guy. Josh rolled his eyes and laughed at me.

"Someone has a man crush" Drake said jokingly.

"I kinda do" I replied with a laugh.

Drake laughed and we proceeded to walk up the hallway. I heard muffled sounds from the door we were walking up to.

"When does Skyler get here!" I heard someone whine.

"CC shut up she will be here when she can" a deeper voice replied.

Josh and I stopped in our tracks and looked at each other.

"Did that sound like..." Josh spoke.

"Andy Biersack" I finished.

"Surprise" Drake said with a grin.

He opened the door and there in the room sat CC, Andy, Ashley, Jinxx and Jake. Josh and I stood there with our jaws dropped.

"Oi both of you close your mouths something might fall in there" Andy chuckled.

"My dick will" Ashley said with a laugh.

Jinxx slapped him on the arm and Ashley pouted his lip.

"Don't make them feel uncomfortable you idiot" Jake whispered.

"Yay new friends!" CC exclaimed.

CC ran up to us and embraced us in a big bear hug. I looked over at Josh and he was smiling widely. I smiled also and then CC pulled away.

"Welcome boys" Andy said.

I stood there speechless.

"I...uh...omg" I muttered.

Drake laughed and CC and Jinxx joined in also.

"They don't bite" Drake replied.

"How do you know them?" Josh asked Drake.

"He toured with us when he was in his old band" Jake said.

Josh looked over at me and grinned, I grinned back. This was so amazing! Just then someone burst through the doors. I turned around and my heart went stood the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I stared for a while and just got lost in a trance, until I saw someone walk up behind her and wrap his arm around her. Fuck my life.

Drake's POV

"Sorry I'm late!" Skyler yelled.

I looked over at the girl and my heart stopped. Skyler looked so much like my sister! I haven't seen my sister in years!

"About time!" CC yelled running up to her and hugging her.

The guy who she was with was scowling at CC, so I suspected he was the other half in the relationship.

"Shush CC" Skyler said with a giggle.

I looked over at Adam who was in a trance, probably over turned to me and her eyes widened a little. I looked back at her and then there was an awkward silence.

"Skyler...what's your last name?" I asked.

"Robbins" she replied.

She was my sister!

"Is you mother's name Ellen?"I questioned.

She nodded and I broke out into a smile. I couldn't believe this.

"Wife to Daniel and mother to two children Skyler and Drake" I whispered.

Skyler smiled and threw her arms around me.

"I knew you were roaming somwhere!" she screamed.

I smiled and we hugged for a long time before Andy cleared his throat.

"No more mushy stuff before you make Ashley cry" Andy laughed.

"I am not crying!" Ashley yelled while pretending to fake cry.

We all broke out into fits of laughter except for Skyler's boyfriend.

"Oh...um...this is Ricky everyone, my boyfriend" Skyler mumbled.

Must be a rough relationship. Ricky nodded his head slightly and I saw Adam frowning a little. I didn't like this guy one bit.

"So who is ready for photos?" Jinxx said as he stood up.

"Let's do it" Skyler said as she grabbed my hand lightly and we walked into the photography studio.

I somehow got a suspicious feeling that Adam is attracted to Skyler. He has never kept his damn eyes off her. Not that it bothers me, this Ricky guy seems like an ass. If only I could get Skyler alone to talk with her.

Skyler's POV

We had been taking photos for hours now. I kept notcing that Adam was glancing at me now and again, I giggled a little. Maybe he likes me? No...not someone like me...I'm hopeless. I packed my camera away and hugged Andy, CC, Jake, Jinxx and Ashley as they had to leave for an interview. I saw Ricky scowling at every one of them, it made me feel ashamed to have brought him with me. Only Adam, Josh, Drake, Ricky and I were left in the studio. I caught Adam looking at me again and I blushed. I felt Ricky grab me by the arm and turn me around.

"I told you to not flirt with anyone" he whispered with an angry tone.

"I...I haven't been flirting" I stamnmered.

Ricky slapped me across the face and I screamed loudly.

"Hey let go of her!" I heard Adam yell.

I toppled to the floor and lay there crying, I felt Drake's arms around me as he lifted me up. I looked over and saw Adam and Ricky at each others necks.

"Don't you ever hit her like that!" Adam spat.

"No! She is my girlfriend I will do whatever I like!" Ricky yelled.

"Ricky it's over!" I screamed.

Ricky stopped and looked over at me, hurt in his eyes. Adam turned and looked at me also as I wiped tears from my eyes.

"This is all because of you!" Ricky snarled as he slammed Adam onto the floor.

"Adam!" I exclaimed.

Adam winced in pain and swung his feet up hitting Ricky on the back of his leg. Ricky yelled in pain and dropped to the floor. Adam stood up and walked over to him and punched him in the face. Ricky whimpered in pain again and then stood up and punched Adam in the jaw. Adam groaned and stumbled back and I covered my eyes as I couldn't look anymore.

"You will regret this Skyler!" Ricky yelled.

I moved my hands away and I saw Adam with his fist around Ricky's neck.

"Just...fucking leave" Adam growled.

He let his grip go and Ricky bolted out of the studio doors. I ran up to Adam and threw my arms around him.

"Thank you" I whispered through tears.

Adam's arms slipped around me and he hugged me tight. He smelt amazing and was just so warm. I think I might like him.
