God, he was gorgeous!

Recap: Twins, finally reunited."Hey," Ashton whispered. "Welcome, home."

*Alyssa's p.o.v*'Home?' I thought... Yeah, I guess it was now. I pulled away from the hug, sniffing slightly. I decided to text dad, let him know that I arrived safely, but to be honest, I don't think he would really care. "You must be exhausted!" My mum exclaimed, suddenly "I am a bit, but I slept on the plane so I'm ok," I replied"Are you hungry?" She asked "I always thought that the plane food is horrible,""Yeah, I am actually," I said, suddenly aware of how hungry I was."Then let's go home!" My mum cried and led me out of the airport, into the bright Australian sunshine and over towards the car.

On the way home, Ash and mum were asking me many many many questions about myself, such as my preferences, in pretty much everything, varying from colour to animal to food to band."So, anyway," Ash began"Yeah?" I replied"You said you told me what you thought of my band's music," Ashton said, looking at my quizzically"The truth? I absolutely LOVE it! You're an amazing drummer!" I gushed, then blushed because of how stupid I sounded."Aw, thank you!" Ashton replied, poking me lightly on my bright red cheeks. He then leant over, so only I could hear and whispered "there's no need to be embarrassed, we're family after all,"Family. I liked the sound of that.

*Ashton's p.o.v*It was so good to finally meet Alyssa. She was everything I expected and more. She looked exactly like me, except she was a girl (duh). She was funny and sweet and seemed really genuine. These last few days before her arrival were pretty hectic - we had to sort out all the house, cleaning space for all of Alyssa's stuff. I hadn't realised that it was going to be so hard! But, I figured it would be worth it.

On top of that, I had decided to plan a little surprise welcome home party type thing. It would just be me, Mum, Lauren, Harry, Calum, Luke and Michael. I really wanted them to meet my band members because they're basically my brothers, they practically live at my house half the time, for gods sake! Luke, Cal and Michael were already at the house setting up the decorations and deciding which pizza place to order from. Knowing the lads, they probably let Mikey decide as he was the one who was, how could you say it... Passionate about pizza. I looked out the window and nudged Alyssa."Hey," I said. "We're here!"

*Alyssa's p.o.v*"Hey," Ashton said, nudging me. "We're here!"I looked out the window and saw THE MOST gorgeous house coming into view. I know that it's weird to call a house gorgeous, but it really was! The house was made of brick, which seemed to be reflecting the sunlight, the front door was painted a beautiful shade of royal blue, ivy was creeping up the sides of the door and the green grassed front garden stretched around the house and disappeared into what I can only assume, was the back garden. "Woah!" I gasped"You like it?" Ashton asked, chuckling slightly at my expression."I love it!" I cried"And this is only the outside!" Ashton laughed as the car pulled to a stop. "C'mon, I'll show you around" *Ashton's p.o.v*I showed Alyssa around the house, leaving the living room till last, as I knew the lads were hiding in there. I had texted them on the way over, asking them to be quiet as I didn't want to give anything away.

*Alyssa's p.o.v*Ashton showed me all around the house, but he left out the living room, which I thought was a little odd, but didn't say anything. He showed me his room last. "And this, will be our room," he said, opening the door with a flourish. I peered inside. The room was large and spacious, a bay window letting the light stream in. The walls were painted white but Ashton had covered his side of the room with band posters. "This is your side," Ashton explained"My stuff!" I cried. All of my belongs were stacked in boxes in the corner of the room."Yep," Ashton laughed. "Come downstairs and I'll get you a drink.""Thanks," I replied and followed him downstairs into the open plan kitchen. He opened the fridge and tossed me a can of coke."Thanks," I said again, cracking open the can and taking a sip."C'mon, I want to show you something," he saidAnd with that he left the room.

He led me to the living room and opened the door. Inside, I could see Mum, Lauren, Harry and three guys who I recognised as Luke, Calum and Michael. 'Oh, shit!' I thought. 'Here I am standing next to three of the hottest guys I've ever seen and I look like this!'"Surprise!" They all yelled and I couldn't help but smile."Guys, meet Alyssa!" Ashton said to the three lads"Hi, I'm Michael!" Michael said (obviously)"Hey!" I said, smiling and waving"Hey, I'm Calum, it's so good to meet you!""And you too, Calum! Ashton has told me a lot about you!" I replied grinning. Calum playfully punched Ashton on the arm. Then, Luke looked straight at me. God, he was gorgeous!"And I'm Luke. Luke Hemmings."
