I'm Adopted: Vengeance Edition.

*Zack's POV*

We were just setting up for the gig that night, when Brian quickly ran over with a grin. We hadn't heard anything from the girls since they left, and I was somewhat worried.

"DUDE! They're heeerrree!" He smirked "Your sister looks smokin' and I can say that, because my girlfriend dressed her." He smiled as Matt walked over.

"What's wrong with you, Syn?" He laughed and looked at the time on the wall "We go on in ten minutes, don't pass out from crazy."

"Oh, I'm not the one who'll be passing out, Shadows." Brian rolled his eyes and nudged me as a back door opened. I looked over and laughed as Michelle dragged Jackie in by the arm. Jackie was tugging down at the tight black dress that fit snugly just below her ass. She winced and smacked Michelle with a giggle. I just turned to Matt and watched as his jaw faultered and closed quickly, noticing I was watching him. But I knew one thing neither of the girls knew, and Brian knew it too. Matt finally took ahold of his own life and ditched the bitch.

*Matt's POV*

Michelle dragged Jackie into the venue as she protested a little against it, tugging down at her formfitting black dress, it showed so much skin I thought I might fall over. It was strapless and showed a crapload of clevage that I never knew a seventeen year old could have. I felt someone staring at me and noticed it was Zack. I quickly checked my mouth and made sure it was shut, I had to close it. I glanced back at Jackie and couldn't help but stare. Her dark hair hung in long waves around her bare shoulders, complementing her somewhat dark makeup and blush pink lips. She had on a pair of dark purple pumps that made her match Michelle's and Zack's height, but she was still shorted than Brian and I.

"Who is this and what'd you do with my sister?" Zack laughed as they walked over to us. Michelle flicked her brown hair behind her ears and smiled as Brian pulled her into a hug.

"Oh I know right?" Michelle smiled proudly "I did a great job."

"For sure." Zack laughed "I might need a closet and a lock to keep her in... you do remember she's underage, right? Jailbait?" He laughed as Michelle rolled her eyes.

"I won't let her out of my si-"

"WOAH!! DUDE! Who's the hottie-... holy fuck! Jackie?!" Jimmy ran over with Johnny "DUDE! What happened to you?"

Jackie giggled and blushed, looking incredibly adorable. I could atually say that now without feeling guilty. The car ride home with Val didn't go her way, at all. I dropped her off at her house and told her to get her shit while I was out tonight. It wasn't exactly mutual, and I didn't expect her to leave this easily, but we weren't getting back together.

"Why thank you, Jimmy. Michelle gave me a makeover." She smiled "And then snuck me into a bar..."

"OHhhhhh that's right, you aren't legal." Jimmy nodded "Yeah. That's a problem, because I think Shads over here might have forgotten that." He smacked my arm "Dude, eyes belong in your skull and mouths are supposed to stay shut unless your talking."

I checked and shut my mouth again, taking my eyes from Jackie and glaring at Jimmy "Asshole." I looked back quickly at Jackie and she was blushing like crazy.

"Anyways!" Johnny piped up "We're on in five."

"We'll be watching from the front row." Michelle smiled "As usual."

"But it's good this time! 'Cos Val isn't here to bitch to us!" Jimmy highfived Johnny. Michelle and Jackie gave us all confused looks.

"Clearly." Michelle laughed.

"No, we mean she won't be ever again." Johnny smiled wide, I almost knocked him over from nudging his side.

"WHAT?!" Michelle bounced up and down "I mean, ohhhh you son of a bitch.." She tried to sound angry, but I could see right through her. I rolled my eyes and nodded as we made our way for the stage. Zack ran back over and picked Jackie up in a hug, spinning her around. I couldn't help but watch, her dress rode up ever so slightly and exposed some of her ass.

"AH! Put me down!" She giggled as Zack gave her a normal hug and made sure she made it into the crowd safely before joining us on stage.

*Jackie's POV*

After the show, we all gathered outback of the stage again, and then congregated into the bar to mingle with people like a party. It was actually fun, other than the fact I wasn't allowed to drink. But soda and virgin strawberry daquaris worked for me. I currently had the latter in my hands as I sat at the bar, watching Michelle try to find Brian, who was pretending to hide behind her, but it was working.

I laughed and felt someone sit next to me. I didn't look, but knew who it was by the laugh "He's such a moron."

"They both are... they're hilarious." I laughed "I'm sorry for earlier... I didn't mean any-"

"It wasn't you." Matt waved it off as I turned "She had it coming for a while, she's been getting crazy over the past two years. I mean... yeah."

I laughed "Well, she has a right to be worried. She had herself a great guy, from what Michelle told me about you, you're quite the gentleman." I smirked as he blushed a little, smiling and showing off his dimples.

"I'll have to thank her later for putting in a good word." He laughed and ordered a beer, then paused "Wait... can I just get a soda?" He laughed as the bartender gave him a weird look but nodded "I really don't feel like getting drunk."

"Oh, me neither. This is non-alcoholic." I laughed as he rolled his e yes "Zack might pump my stomach if I drank infront of him."

"Oh, most likely." Matt laughed and paid the man when his soday came "So... you look nice tonight."

"Thanks, so do you." I nodded as he laughed "What's so funny?" I asked.

"Oh nothing, you're just getting a ton of looks from a group of guys down there." He gestured to a group down the other end of the bar. I laughed "They're like... thirty."

"Oh and you're any better." I rolled my eyes "Anything over eighteen is old when you're underage." I laughed and glanced down the bar "Ew.... but I could barf."

Matt let out a loud laugh "I can bet you ten bucks one of them'll come ask you to dance or try to take you home."

"I could handle that, I'm not that weak... but deal." I smiled and we shook on it. He leaned back against the bar.

"Now... we wait." He smiled "They won't be ready to leave until near eleven anyways."

"Past my bedtime." I joked as he laughed, it was so... easy talking to him. Like today hadn't even happened.

Within five minutes of our bet, some skeezy lookng guy walked over and stood infront of me. Matt scooted over a seat and watched.

"Hey, what's a girl like you doing alone?" He kept standing infront of me. I crinkled my nose. His hair was messed up, like he'd just had sketchy bathroom sex, he smelt like every mix of alcohol in the books, and looked older than my dad.

"My brother's band." I motioned to the stage the boys were on earlier.

"Ohhh." He smiled "How about you go tell your brother that you have a ride home, hm? We can go back to my place and have our own party.." His eyes scanned my body and I felt like a layer of scum covered me with each glance.

"No, I'm fine thanks..." I smiled, but he took my hand. I looked around and Matt was gone. Oh God... Matt.. what the fuck?! Great... just great timing...

"No really, you'll have fun. We'll have a few drinks, and then let the real party start." He pulled me up and I shook my head, trying to scan the floor or Matt, praying he would come back soon.
