James' POV:

I took off my wrist brace and hopped into the shower. The guys were having a house warming party and Sidney's and I was already running late. "James? How long are you going to be gone?" Jen asked. She wasn't going to the party with me, becuse her friend, Trina, was in town from Nashville.

"Uh...I don't know, baby. Is Trina staying the night? And do you want me to take Nolan to the party?" I asked

"Yeah she's going to stay in town a few days and no. I'll keep Nolan here." Jenny replied

"Okay, honey..." I replied, washing my hair and sighing. It wasn't that I didn't like Trina, it was just...Trina didn't like me at all. I had overheard her telling Jenny that she thinks that Jen should have left me when I cheated and should take full custody of Nolan and never speak to me again. She thought that I was a horrible person, which was mainly true, I did cheat on Jen and all, but that was in the past. Also, Jen would never leave me and I heard her saying that to her..."I would never leave him, Trina, I love him..."

I loved her too, but I was just confused about Allison and what was going on with her...I sighed, putting those thoughts aside and finnishing my shower, putting on a 412 hoodie and sweats. I grabbed my towel and trunks and put them in my bag before heading out. "Bye, sweethear." I said kissing Jen

"Bye, daddy!" Nolan called running up to me

I picked him up, hugging him. "Bye, buddy. I love you. Be good for mommy."

"I wills."

"Bye, Trina..." I said with a smile, she just rolled her eyes at me. "Whatever..." I replied, sitting Nolan down before leaving.

The drive to Sid's was about 15 minutes. He lives in the suburb next to the one that me and Paulie live in. Geno, Sid, and Mario all lived in the same neighborhood. I sighed as I pulled my car into the driveway, heading outside.

Allison's POV:

"Are you sure you're okay doing this?" Max asked me

I nodded, "Yeah." We were about to Sid's house for the party.

"Does he know we're coming?"

"Geno said he'd tell him..." I replied

"What if he didn't tell him?"

"Well then, he'll be surprised, won't he?" I snorted

Max looked at me seriously, "I just don't want there to be an issue..."

"There won't be an issue, Max..."

"What if there is?"

"Max...why are you being this way? There isn't going to be a problem. Geno told James we'd be there and James won't cause an issue!" I yelled

"But..." he protested

"Max...it'll be fine, okay?" I was getting annoyed. There wasn't going to be an issue at all...

"Okay. I'm sorry." Max replied

"It's fine." I said as Max pulled into Sid's driveway. We got out and headed inside.

"Hey! Thanks for coming!" Sid said hugging both of us.

"Thanks for the invitation. Nice house." Max said

"Everyone is in the pool room...would you guys like a tour?" Sid asked

"Sure." I replied with a smile

Sid smiled as he showed us around the house. His house was lovely! He obviously had a decorator help him set it all up. "So this is my kitchen and the living room is that way. The pool is out that way, but lets see upstairs first."

"Your house is nice." I said smiling

"Thanks. It took a while to get it all fixed up and set up. Mel helped me out a lot." he replied, as we got up the stairs. "This is my bedroom, the main bathroom is in my room, this one is the guest bathroom and I have two spare bedrooms. So if my parents and sister come for a visit, they can each have rooms."

"Nice!" Max said

"Alright, that's about it. We can head back downstairs. There's a chaning room in the pool area for you to change in." Sid said as he headed downstairs

Max and I followed him back downstairs and into the pool area. All of the commotion stopped when we entered the room. Judging by the stunned look on James' face...Geno had NOT told him we were coming...
