Things Have Changed For Me [SEQUEL TO FORM A MOUNTAIN]

Ch. 39

Ryan and I spent Thanksgiving day with his family preparing dinner and such. I hadn't talked to my mom at all since she'd gone back into rehab and I didn't plan on talking to her any time soon. When I got home I would need to find a job since I'd be living on my own for god knows how long. Living with dad in New Mexico didn't sound so bad but I really couldn't be that far away from everything. 

"Pey, are you okay?" Ryan asked me as I chopped up some carrots. 

"No" I told him "I miss my mom"

"I know you do" he said. He put down his own knife and wrapped his arms around my waist. I put down my knife too and rested my hands on the kitchen counter. My head hung down but I felt Ryan's lips on the side of my neck. 

"It'll be okay" he whispered. "I promise"

"I just...I miss her" I said. 

"Baby, I promise she'll be okay, and so will you. Think about it, after we go back to school there's only a week until Winter Break, then we have a whole month off for whatever we want. Kendall and Brendon want to do a road trip"

"Ryan I need to look for a job" I told him "I need to support myself while mom is gone, but I don't turn eighteen until next month"

"You never told me when your birthday is" he said. "I mean I've probably seen it on Facebook but..."

"December third" I told him. 

"That's so soon!" he said "We have to celebrate"

"Ryan I'd rather not. Let's get through tonight first"

"Right right" he kissed me before going back to boiling potatoes. 

All the food turned out really well. Ryan's mom was accepting of the fact that I was a vegetarian so she picked up some tofurky just for me. 

"Ick, how can you eat that stuff?" Ryan asked me. 

"Just try a bite" I told him as we sat down at the table. 

Ryan and I stopped talking when his mom cleared her throat to give a little speech. 

"Peyton, I'm so glad you're here. Between Ryan's dad leaving us and my being at work all the time, I'm glad he has you to make him happy, even if you only make it out here every so often. I love you kids"

"We love you too, mom" Ryan said. 

"Love you mom" Angela added. 

I just sat there and smiled, I didn't have to say anything. They all knew I was happy to be wanted at this time. We passed around the dishes of food and filled our plates before digging in. 

"Seriously RyRy, try my fake turkey" I told him. 

"RyRy?" Angela asked before busting up with laughter. 

"Shut up" Ryan said to his sister. "Gimme a little piece"

I put some on my fork and fed him like a baby. I watched his face as he swallowed the piece I'd given him. 

"Not bad, but I still like real meat" he said. 

"I understand" I told him. 

After dinner and dessert, I offered to help with the dishes but Ryan's mom wouldn't hear it. 

"No, no. You're the guest. You go enjoy your time here. Angela and I will clean up"

"But mom--" 

"Angela, when you have a long distance relationship, you don't have to do dishes but for now, you help"

Angela unwillingly got up from the table and started helping her mom while Ryan and I went outside for fresh air. It was a nice night and the fresh air did feel good because we were both stuffed full of delicious things. We sat on his front porch swing and looked out at the ocean. 

"Your house has such a pretty view" I told him. 

"I like the view in my arms more" he said. "I love you so much, never leave me"

"I love you too, and I won't"

I leaned over and laid my head against his chest, right over his heart. He held me as close as he could while the swing rocked back and forth. 

"I wonder how Kendall and Brendon are doing..." I said. 

"Probably having a special dessert" he replied. 

KENDALL'S POV

Brendon slammed me down on my bed and ripped open his shirt by the buttons. Our parents were outside smoking post-dinner cigars, thank god. His lips were biting at my neck as he moved me farther up the bed. 

"I can't find the zipper on your dress" he complained. 

"On the side" I told him. 

He found it and tore the garment off my body to reveal my black bra and underwear. In a quick motion my bra was on the floor and he removed my panties with his teeth like an animal. I moaned against his every movement. He pushed his cock into me and we rolled around the bed fighting each other for control. He pinned me down and pushed again to the point where I was moaning his name repeatedly. When he came, he pulled out and replaced the used condom with a fresh one before diving back in. When we were completely finished, I couldn't move at all. 

"Well then" he said as he got up off the bed and looked at me. He replaced all his clothes and helped me get redressed too. 

"We should, um...jesus I can't even think right now"

We went back downstairs and said goodbye. Brendon and his massive collection of siblings got in their giant van and drove home. I went back upstairs to shower and pass out. Who knew Thanksgiving Dinner could be quite so eventful?
