-------------------------------------------------------------------

After our little family talk in the driveway, we had spent the rest of the day  helping the people from the DIANA'S DECORATING SERVICES that dad called to decorate the back yard.

After decorating mom sent all of us upstairs to dress, i originally planned that this year i would go causal in a jeans an sweater but mom said that i have to wear a dress.I settled for a long princess-ish red dress and place my hair in a simple bun.

I went in Cara's room and she was dressed in a short flare dress and sandals.

"You think Alec will like this?" She asked spinning around.

"No, the same way he would like being listed under pedophiles." I said before exiting her room and going into the one opposite hers into the land of dinosaurs and Cars.

 Luca was on the ground tying his shoe lace all dressed and ready.

"Hey buddy, you getting through there?" I asked him leaning on his door frame.

"Yeah, i'll be down in a minute." He said.

"Alright." i replied before leaving.

When i reached down the stairs dad was hunched over fixing moms sandals as she sat on a chair rubbing her very pregnant tummy.

as soon as reached the last step dad finished and stood up, spinning around.

I smiled when i saw them. dad look really good as did om wearing almost the same color of dads jacket.

ignore the cigarette

"Damn you guys look smoking!" I said to them.

dad gave a pose and i snapped  a quick pic with them together when the door bell ran at the same time.

"I'll get it." I said.

The DJ was already here early playing some music in the back and Ed Sheeran''s Castle on the hill was playing at a moderate volume.

I plastered a smile unto my face and swinging the front door open.

Their stood Aunt Liv and Uncle Jace stood with their thirteen year old son Monty and there Eight year old daughter Logan.

"Riley!" Logan shouted.

"Hey guys." I said smiling at them.

Aunt Liv, was mom's girl friend/best friend and Uncle Jace and dad used to play in a band together when they were in highschool.

"You look so pretty honey." Aunt Liv said kissing me on my cheek As she held a huge gift in her hands.

"Aw. Thank you, come on it." I said smiling.

"Hey Frizzy." Uncle Jace called me. That was a name that never left me when I was eleven and Mom was awat and I had forgotten tht it was picture day the following day at school and the night before i was experimenting with moms stuff and rubbed a bunch of things in my hair and even attempted and press it.

The next day my hair stod straight up like a christmas tree and I could pat it down or else it would have breaked.

I begged mom to leave me home but he teached me a lesson and sent me to school anyways.

Uncle Jace, from what i've told was quite a character in his Teen years, matter of fact he still is. But from what mom told me it seems like he's calmed down.

"Hey uncle Jace, I missed ya." I said,his wofe and kids had already went out back.

"I know i've always been the favorite Uncle." He said grinning down at me before embracing me in a tight hug.

"Says who?" A voice in the back of him spoke up.

We moved away and turned around to find Uncle Peyton and his girlfriend.

"Uncle Peyton!" I shouted and laughed.

Uncle Peyton was Aunt Liv's brother, the eldest of the Hold Brothers, he was 33 years old. Without a little son with Aunt Aurora.You'll meet her soon.

"I know when i'm not important anymore." Uncle Jace said dramatically before walking into the house.

i chuckled at his behaviour.

"Hey Riles." Uncle Peyon said hugging me. "Gosh I haven't seen you for a while." He was in the Navy seals and we hardly got to see him sometimes.

"I missed you." I said.

A few years ago one of his friends had died, and he buried himself in work not wanting to be around anyone, and indeed no one had seen or heard from him for almost a whole year back then.

"Missed you more Angel. You gotten tall. and even ore pretty I see. the boys must be tailing after you." He said causing me to laugh.

then someone cleared their throat causing us both to shift our eyes to the girl standing next to him who was holding the a book wrapped prettily together with groft wrap.

"Oh right, Riles, this is Lucy, Lucy this is Little Riley-Well no so little riley. Ross and Laura's daughter." he said gesturing back and forth to the us.

"HI."She said giving me a fake smile.

Honey, I already don't like you.

"Hi." I said giving her back a fake smile.

"Well we'll head inside." He said awkwardly rocking on his heels.

"Yeah, party is out back." I said as they ade their way in.

Just as I was about to close the door A convertable drove up the drive with loud music playing.

"AYE RILEY!!!!" Two guys shouted at me before one killed the enginge and they both jumped out of the car.

A grin immediately came unto my face when i recognized they were .which wasn't long.

"Uncle Cory & Uncle Cody!" I squealed jumping up and down.

Uncle cory and Cody were...Oh my god, HOT!

they're twins, and at just 22, Have managed to already managed to be almost halfway as rich as my by DJing and organizing events for big super stars all over the place.

They were the smallest of the Holt brothers, Aunt Liv and Uncle Peyton's little brothers.

and from stories from mom and dad, when they were younger they were a ball of energy and always fought, like thoses twins from cheaper by the dozen, but when they put there minds together to make mischief boy was it Loki's sons.

They ran up the driveway and swallowed me into a hug.

Ah, what's better than being swallowed by two hot guys?

"Oh my god, i haven't seen you in like forever."

"You've gotten tall."

"Damn did you get boobs?"

"Christ, Rilenator you've gotten even more prettier."

"You're 17 right?"

"You still have you're baby cheeks."

"Awe, you're so adorable."

Questions and statements were shot at me from left and Right from these two tall Greek Gods.

"Wow, wow, wow. to many question Uncs." I said laughing.

"Oh shit." Uncle Cory said before running back to his car and pulling out a gift from the seat. the runningback to us.

"We're your Girlfriends?" I asked them laughing.

I didn't know if these were my favorite uncles, because they were closer to my age? Course they would torture me when we sometimes hadthanksgiving or just family Parties and they came over.

i just had awesome uncles that i couldn't choose.

"Uh, Mary's down with the flu, and his girlfriend..we couldn't find her...Oh wait, that's right, he doesn't have." Uncle Cody said causing himself to laugh at his own joke, just for his twin to smack him on the head.

Then before you knew it the two boys were smacking each other.

I watched with wide eyes.......And a grin

It was a smack fest.

have you ever seen anything so beautiful?!

"Boys! stop it." Aunty Liv shouted coming up from the hall.

"Boys!" She shouted ripping her little brothers apart.

"Are you serious right now? smackign each other, what are you five?" She said before smacking them each on their heads and puling them by their ears inside.

"Ouch, Ouch, it hurts!" I chorus of Ouch drifted down into my house as she carried them in the back.

i began laughing so hard that tears spilled out of my eyes.

Ah, I lived for these stuff.

Just then My cellphone began ringing in my dress pocket.

Without checking the caller ID, i answered. "Tatle" i said clsing the front door.

"Hey Riles." Ronnie answered.

"Hey sugar, what's up?" I said making my way into the kitchen.

"Nothing much, just checking on you." she said, i heard papers moving through the phone.

"Oh, i'm fine, just saw this epic smack fight with Uncle Cory and Cody." i said laughing at the memory again.

"oh, the Adonises have arrived." She said.

"Yup, inall their glory.my life is beautiful, i'm surrounded by hoy people, i mean damn even my parents are hot, and that should say alot, because no body thinks their parents are hot." i said through the phone.

"Why thank you, Riles." My dad said walking up from behind me, stold a handfull of finger snack and ran out the back door just as quickly.

And crazy people too.

"Anyways i've just called to check up on ya. I'll be there in a few." She said.

The door bell rang

"Great." I said before ending the call.

Before i could get to the door, Luca had though he had to almost jump to get the knob.

A tall woman with dark hair holding a one year old boy smiled when she saw both Luca and I.

"Aunty Aury." I smiled.

Luca ran hugged her legs since he was small.

"Hey buddy, you've gotten so big." She said.

I took One year old Miller, from her.

Aunt Aurora, was the daughter of my grandad mother adoptive sibling. so she wasn't blood but was still family.

Aunt Aurora is a model and her and my mom used to work together.

Did i tell you that?

yeah anyways. my mom was a model untill she retired up until this year when she found out about baby number four.

She was pretty famous and though they begged her to not retire, she figured it was her time and she was getting old.

As if, 35 is still young.

"Hey Miller.What's up." I cooed to the sleepy one year old.

So yeah, Miller's dad is Uncle Peyton.

They used to have this on again off again reltionship, that is up until Miller came along.

No one really knows why they just can't stay in a relationship.

But mom says since they were younger, they never got long, but she had suspected that was because they liked each other.

But now things were just too complicated.

After she hesitantly went in.

Mr an Mrs Holt came in.

They were the parents of Aunty Liv, Uncle Peyton, cody and Cory and Dacia and Darcia whom we've yet to see.

After a our neigbors and dads and moms other highschool friends.

Moms ex model friends.

Ronnie, jody, Kareem, Alec and Elliot came afterwards.

A black range Rover similar to one of my dad's rolled up into the drive way and out came Darcia whith her two young kids and her small pregnant belly and her Husband Kyle.

"Riley, how you doing sweety?" She asked me smiling.

Aunt Daria was another of the Holt kids one of the smallest sisters though she wasn't the last.

"I'm okay." I smiled at her.

gosh i've been siling all afternoon my mouth hurts.

after she went in, Uncle EL came bouncing in with his wife Lisa , there triple boys,Jonah,Julius and Jahim age twelve and ten tear old boy Niall.

Uncle EL for Ellington, was in the same band with dad and uncle Jace in high school.

Later on Aunt Dacia came throtting in with her Fiance Eric and A huge gift.

after we gritted each other she went in and i sighed.

Thank god that's over with.

Instead of going outback where the party was I went straight for the kitchen and microwaved my Piece of burger that was left and quickly ate it.

I shuffled to the back wear it was just beginning.

"Welcom Welcome, Welome One and All To the twelveth anniversary our dear Mr & Mrs Ross Lynch." Uncle Jace who was the MC spoke.

I took my seat at the table where all my friends where sitting..well to be fair they did leave a seat for me.

Mom and Dad were seating in two huge and decoreated chairs that faced us.

Gosh they just looked so adorable.

There were two professional Photographer there One Videoed while the other snapped away.

A big white cake was at the side of them and i was already planning ways in which i would devour the masterpiece.

"You look Pretty." A voice spoke softly in my ear causing shivers to run down my back.

I turned my head to find Alec smiling at me.

He moved back a little in his seat and I smiled at him.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I replied back softly.

He smiled at me and when i turned back to Uncle Jace i saw Aunt Dacia and Darcia who were seating next to each other beaming and shooting me with their pearly white teeth as they grinned at me, Uncle Cory Wiggling his eyebrows at me, While Uncle Cody pointed at Alec, and made a motion of cutting his own neck, telling me that Alc was dead.

i Laughed and rolled my eyes.

Adults.

Later on the party was in full swing and people were dancing and laughingnd talking with eachother.

But if you're Like Uncle Jace, Kareem and Alec you'd be by the buffet table fulling your plate.

Dad and mom were on the dancing floor rocking away to Say You Won't Let Go as well as some Elderly couples.

Jody was over at the corner talking to one of my neighbours daughter.

"So you and Alec dating yet?" Ronnie asked.

I stopped what i was doing which was feasting on a chickenbone which i stold fro Alec plate. thus the reason he's at the buffet table.

But get this. The guys plate is quarter empty as he eats, and i just robbed him on ONE chicken! Just one Chicken which doesn't really do anything to his plate because their still food. Alec throws a short tantrum and goes back over to the Buffet table just to refill his plate JUST because i took ONE chicken.

It makes no sense. He just wants a reason to full up his plate.

I looked at my best friend.

"Get this through your head Ron, theire is nothing going on between Alec and i." i said to her.

"Oh god so we don't have to pummel him then." The voice of Uncle Cody, spoke up behind us.

I turned in my chair to grin at him. "Not unless you want to go to jail." i Replie before biting into my juicy chicken.

I looked around for his Twin to see him Getting all up close and Personal to my neighbour Mrs. Archibald's daughter. Sarah.

Cute.

Uncle Cody Laughed and walked away as his phone ran.

Just as i was about to bit into mychicken again My phone began vibrating.

ARGHHH THE AGONY!!!

i used my unchicken-sauced hand and pulled out my phone and answering.

"Hello?" I answered annoyed.

"Hey, Riley, It's Oliver."

ARGHHH THE CRUSH!!!

"Oliver!" I Answered excitedly.

Ronnie's looked at me, eyebrows lifted up as if questioning me.

"Hey, uh is it a good time i'm hearing music, are you at a party i can call you back." I said.

Gosh his voice was just ......Music to my ears.

Swee sweet music.

"No, no, it's okay." I said quickly.

"Oh, Okay, so i was wondering if you know the date, If you'd uh, Like to go tomorrow." He said.

THE SOUND OF HEAVEN TOUCHING EARTH!!

I'VE LIVED.

"Yes!..Uh i mean sure, tomorrow is fine." I said answering and sounding too eager at first.

"Great, at seven, I'll pick you up at your house." He replied.

His voice sounded like he was smiling.

was he smiling?

I hope he was smiling because i'm smiling.

matter of fact i'm grinning.

"Great, I'll text you the address." I said.

"No Need for that, i already know were you're living." He said.

He knew were i was living?

Yes dumb fart him and Alec were friends, you've been living next to alec Almost all your life.

"Oh, Okay. i guess i'll see you." i said grinning.

Ronica rolled her eyes and went somewhere else.

She didn't like the though of Oliver and I dating. She was a Ralec fangirl and was All for Ralec.

As if.

"Yeah, i'll see you, bye." He said. A grin still on my face.

miind I tell you while all this is happening I'm still holding a bar-be-qued chicken in my hand which i have forgotten.

"Bye." He said before ending the call.
