"Happy Birthday stranger." I turned to see Josh walking towards me.

"Stranger I just saw you a few days ago, and thank you." He sat down next to where I was laying on the bed swing.

"I see you less, and less now that I have a job and you are always at Gerard's." He sighed lying down next to me.

"I'm sorry, but he's really been trying to teach me." He laughed

"Yeah I don't want to know what he's been teaching you."

"Oh my gosh Josh." I said slapping him playfully. "Im talking about my art technique."

"So anyway. How are things going? Have you decided if you are going to tell Ray and Christa tonight?" I groaned turning over on my stomach.

"He wants to, but I'm just not ready. They have an album coming out in October, and I really don't know if this could cause a problem."

"Liz you are officially an adult now. They love you, if you explain it they should except it."

"It's the what ifs, I'm worried about. There seems to be more problems that could happen doing this. Gerard and Ray fighting, their friendship ends. The band breaking up. Me having to choose between Ray and Gerard. Ray kicking me out because I'm causing problems."

"Liz stop freaking out, and I could never see them kicking you out. After the trouble you told me they went through to find you. I think you are freaking out about nothing."

"Easy for you to say, you aren't dating someone 11 years older and is your uncles best friend."

"Well I've done my fair share of hiding things from my family. My whole life I've had to hide my music they didn't approve of."

"I'm just not ready."

"Ready for what." I screamed looking back to see Christa standing there.

"Shit, you scared the crap out of me." She stood laughing.

"Sorry, I just wanted to come and say the guy's should be here in about an hour. They are finally done at the studio. Have you decided on where you want to go for dinner?"

"Chinese!" I said grinning ear to ear.

"Josh you coming?" He looked at his watch.

"No, I actually need to get home and get ready for work." I gave him a sad look. "Don't give me that look. I promise we can do something this week. As long as you stay home a day and don't go to Gerard's for a learning lesson."

"Any day you want I will leave it open just for you." I said as he got up and walked away.

"You have been spending a lot of time there lately. I didn't want to bring it up but I've been worried. Is something going on, like something that makes you not want to be home?" She looked at me concerned.

"No not at all. I'm very happy here, I love being here. He's just helping me perfect my art, he's the best person I know to help me with it." She smiled at me looking relieved.

"You better not make me fall I will take you down with me." I said as Frank led me blindfolded down the stairs. He chuckled beside me.

"Hey they are the ones that decided to have the klutz help the other klutz down a set of stairs. If we fall we need to take it out on them." We both erupted laughing.

I went a few more steps and I felt we were walking down the hall. I felt another set of hands grab my other arm and I instantly knew who it was.

"Happy Birthday Beautiful." He said in my ear louder than I would have expected. I must have looked shocked because I heard him and Frank laugh.
