Cherry's Point of View

When we got back there was a lot of commotion in the front room. We all walked in to find three strangely familiar looking boys sat down, with Jenna shouting at them.

"Guys, whatcha doing home?" Jake asked, concerned.

"Oh, they've all just decided to take a random gap year!" Jenna exclaimed.

I finally recognised them as Jenna's eldest sons.

"Well, what're they gonna do?" I asked.

"Hey, Cherry. I'm Scott, in case you've forgotten." he grinned at me. "I was thinking of travel repping for a while, and these idiots are just gonna lounge around for a year."

"No we're not!" Luke, the fitter twin, cried.

"We're taking rep jobs for science companies!" Elliott added.

"What does that mean?" Nicky asked.

The three men stared at him.

"Who's he?" They asked in unison.

"My brother," I told them.

"I thought your brothers died," Luke muttered.

"Luke!" Elliott exclaimed as tears filled my eyes. Theo instantly wrapped a comforting arm around my waist as Luke clapped his hand over his mouth.

"Shit! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to come out that way I was just surprised. I'm so sorry!"

I nodded. "It's okay."

"How you holding up, kiddo?" Scott asked, climbing out of the chair and coming to my side. "You look a little shaky.

Theo gave me a reassuring squeeze. "I guess I'm doing okay," I mumbled.

"Well, I'm here for a few weeks before I start work, but until I'm gone you can always come and talk to me, okay?"

He smiled and ruffled my fringe, making me scowl at him.

"Don't touch the hair."

Luke chuckled. "Feisty."

"Have you guys seen Sam and Josh yet?" Jake asked.

Jenna shook her head. "I don't know where Sam is, but Josh is out with Lucy."

"Who's Lucy?" Elliott asked.

"His girlfriend," I said, while Theo muttered "My sister."

They looked between us.

"So, our new sister is dating our cousin's girlfriend's brother? Practically incest," Luke chastised.

"Shut up," I mumbled. "It's not incest."

"Sure it’s not. But we still haven't quite worked out who this chap is," Elliott reminded everyone, gesturing towards Nicky.

"This is Nick, my best friend from back home. He came over because we had a funeral to attend with Colin in Hollywood, and he's staying for a few days," I told them.

"Who's funeral? You okay?" Scott asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

I winced. "Whitney Houston's?"

They all gaped at me. Theo, Nick, Jake and Lindon broke into peals of laughter.

"My Dad was Jonathon Parker... You, umm, never figured that out?"

"Ohmygod!" Scott gushed. "Jonathon Parker's dead?"
