Chapter eight

Liz's POV

I was sitting on the sofa two days later, tuning my guitar, when Andy walked through and sat next to me.

"We need to talk" he said, striking fear into my heart.

"Um, alright then. What's up?"

"Well, we need to talk about your inheritance"

"Wait, is there something I don't know? Should I be worried about Ash?"

"No! No, of course not. I mean from your parents. They had a lot of secrets from you. They asked me to tell you when I think you're old enough. They were enormously famous musicians. They were extremely rich and they had a house here, in America. They invested in a load of flats to pay the bills until I could give the house to you. They also had about three cars, a tour bus and £250,000,000. That's just the big stuff. They had a load of instruments too. Oh, and the library!" exclaimed Andy.

"Jesus, fucking, Christ" I said slowly. "Are you sure?"

"Yep! We're going to see it tomorrow. I've made sure that everything is in the same condition as it was when your parents passed. You'll love the house, your parents designed a room for you, in preparation for tomorrow. Also, there's something else you should know about but you'll find out tomorrow. Anyway, I'll help you practice if you like, me and Ash are bored"

"Nice! I'm excited for tomorrow. I'm alright practicing solo for now, there's some stuff I want to sort out in my head and I need peace for that. Thanks though"

"Alright. Was that Xavier?" Andy asked as the baby started to cry from Ash's room.

"Yeah, I think so. I'll go to my room and practice so I don't disturb you" I said, picking up my guitar and walking through to my bedroom.

I sat down on my bed and considered what Andy had just said.

'Do I really own all that? Will I be able to go without missing my parents? Go and talk to Andy'

"Hey, Andy!" I said as I walked out of my bedroom again. "Are the others coming tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I think they are. Could you watch Xavier for a minute while I find Ash?"

I nodded and picked up Xavier.

I put my knees up and rested her on them, leaving my hands free. I tickled her belly, making her squirm a bit.

Xavier quickly fell asleep, leaving me alone. Never a good place to be. I plugged my headphones in, shutting out the sound of Ashley laughing from the bedroom. Andy came out of the bedroom half an hour later, looking dishevelled and blushing. Andy followed and they ran into the kitchen in shame.

I picked Xavier up and carried her to the kitchen. They were making out on the counter as i walked in.

"Nice to know that you had sex while I looked after your child" I said sarcastically.

Ash winked at me while Andy blushed and tried to hide his face.

"Anyway, it's late as fuck and I'm exhausted. See you tomorrow" I said, going to bed.

The next morning, I was awoken by Ashley, running into my room and jumping on my bed right next to me.

"Wake the Fück up, we're going to see your house!" He yelled.

"Christ on a bike, can I please get dressed first?"

"Of course!" Ashley sang as he left the room.

I leaped up, slapped some clothes on and ran into the living room. I made coffee and grabbed an apple for breakfast before helping Andy pack Xavier's stuff.

"Right! Let's go!" Shouted Ash, grabbing his car keys and walking out of the apartment.

"I call shotgun!" I screamed as I dashed past him. I jumped into the car and strapped in the car seat. We waited for fifteen minutes while Andy tried to work out the car seat, before I helped him.

Andy hoped into the car next to Xavier and Ash set off.

We drove for around two hours, blasting 'Bring Me The Horizon' and 'Green Day' the whole time, often singing along. (Well, Andy and Ashley were singing, I was screaming, terribly)

We eventually pulled down a private road and saw it. My house.

There was an enormous driveway with seven cars parked in it, three being mine. I wondered who owned the other car. The house was enormous, not as big as the one in England but definitely big enough for the whole band to live there. There was a shelter off the side of the house with an enormous black tour bus in it. There were fields out the back with a stable at the end.

"Jesus Christ, this is all mine?" I asked.

"yep! All of it" Ash said.

"Wow" I marvelled.

"The others are inside already, Jinxx has a spare key" Andy said, snapping me out of my reverie.

"You go inside while I park up" Ash said.

I jumped out of the car and walked inside. The hallway was painted French gray with a black marble floor. There were doors leading off on either wall and I opened the first one to reveal a utility room. The next was a kitchen with a door leading to a dining room. After that, I opened the door to find a living room. Standing there were Jake, Jinxx, CC and... wait, josh dun?

"LIZARD!" Cried CC.

"CC! How's it going?"

"It's good! Have you met josh?"

"No, actually. I'm a huge fan of your music" I said, blushing slightly and trying my best not to fangirl.

"Aww, thanks! I'm glad you like it"

"Yeah, there's something familiar about your music that makes me feel really homesick"

Josh started blushing. Ash walked in, saving me from the awkwardness.

"Guys! Come with me to stock up the fridge" Ash said, leaving me alone with josh. We sat down on opposite sofas, awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

"Y'know, you look strangely like my brother..." I said, desperately trying to break the silence.

"Yeah. Do you remember six years ago when he died? Remember how you never got to see the body?"

"Yeah, it was a bit weird actually"

"That's because he didn't actually die. He asked the nurse to tell you he was dead so you could mourn and forget him. He assumed you would move on. However, he saw how hurt you were back then. Even now, you are hurt and upset looking at me. Anyway, there's a reason I'm here. I am your brother. Samuel Robinson. I changed my name and moved away in hopes of reinventing myself"

I sat in shock at the information he had given me. Tears subconsciously spring to my eyes and spilled down my cheeks, making my eyeliner run.

Josh stood up and hugged me, allowing me to bury my face in his chest. We were both crying at this point, opening up our hearts to each other.

Half an hour later, we stopped crying but we're still holding onto each other in silence, making up for six years of lost contact.

"So, what now?" I sniffed.

"Well, I could show you around the place? I've been living here for the last five years, keeping it safe for you. I gave up my inheritance when our parents passed, I couldn't handle it"

I nodded and stood up, josh following me. He led me out of the room, showing me the rest of the house. On the ground floor, there was a utility room, kitchen/dining room, lounge, recording studio, music room, spare bedroom and a bathroom. On the second floor, six bedrooms, Josh's room, a study, a private lounge, two bathrooms and a balcony. The third floor consisted of a library with a door, leading to my bedroom. There was an ensuite as well as a private study.

"Well, what do you think?" Josh asked me once we completed the tour.

"It's amazing! I'm tempted to ask the guys if they want to move in, if that's alright with you"

"It's your house, your choice. I'm fine with it though. Do you want to come and see the horses?"

"Yes!" I squealed as we sprinted downstairs and outside, racing to the stable.

There were three horses, one black, one white and one a strange grey colour. The black one was called demon, white was castiel and grey was Freya.

"Hey, do you want to go for a ride?" Josh asked me.

"Yes! I remember taking riding lessons ages ago"

"Alrighty then. Let's saddle up"

"Shotgun demon"

We sorted out our horses, me on demon and josh on Freya.

We left the stable and rode around the boundary of our land.

After about an hour, we were back inside and the boys had arrived back.

"So, instead of renting a huge house in the city, we could all live out here? If you still want to"

"Um, yeah, that sounds good. It's nice and secluded, there are enough rooms and you already own it" Andy said

"All those in favour, raise your hand" CC said. Everyone raised their hands immediately. "Motion carried, everyone go and pack your stuff! We're coming to live in lizards enormous house!"

"Yay! Let's go!" I yelled, jumping up.

"I'll come with you, Liz. My van will have room for your stuff" josh said, and we all separated to our own flats.
