"Dinner is ready!" May yells walking out the kitchen and through the living room to get to the dining room.
I push the dogs off of me and get up. I dust myself off and grab my phone from the kitchen. I walk back through the rooms and into the dinning room. Some people are staying in the living room to eat, mostly kids and a couple adults to watch them. I sit down near the end of the table with Mark and Ethan on either side of me. Amy sits next to Mark and Tyler sits next to Ethan. People fill the seats , living one at the other end of the table for May.
I look around the table . Dishes and plates are betting set down full of steaming food. May sits down, observing everything. She seems really happy. She always loved making big meals and feeding people because it makes her feel as though she's doing something helpful. The food is a mix of cultures . There are a few Korean dishes , a couple pasta dishes , a full roasted chicken, and basic Christmas foods like mashed potatoes, rolls and mixed vegetables. The table was already set so people start grabbing for their food. I grab mashed potatoes, a roll , some slices of chicken , some pasta , and some Korean dish that I can't remember the name too.
I look over at Ethan and he seems really hesitant to grab anything, probably because of his allergy.
"Oh Ethan, don't worry, there isn't a trace of peanuts anywhere. I've checked." May says noticing his face.
He starts to grab some food but I don't notice what because I start eating . Everything tastes really good. The chicken is seasoned and juicy , the pasta sauce is kinda sweet, which I love, and the Korean food taste really nice.
I can't even remember the last time I had an actual family dinner with people I consider my family. Besides thanksgiving that happened a month ago, I haven't had any real cooked food. But this feels different then the thanksgiving dinner Amy and Kathryn made. This has more love and work in it. There's more happiness coming from each bite.
I turn to see Ethan looking at me, smiling .
"What?" I say quietly , not wanting people to really notice.
"Nothing, you just seem really happy right now. Almost like your in love with the food" he says laughing a little .
"I'm really happy right now" I say taking another bite of the pasta .
"What for?" He asks, also taking a bit of pasta.
"I've missed May's cooking. She cooks with a lot of love and happiness that you can practically taste it." I say smiling bigger.
Ethan doesn't say anything, just nods. He takes another bite and smiles.
"So Mark," May starts. "How's LA? You wanna move back to Ohio anytime soon?"
"LA is good mom, and you know that I would come back but LA is where my meetings happen and I can't leave there right now. Maybe in the coming years" He says, a little sad about not moving back.
"Oh.. what about you Y/n , you ever wanna come back?" She asks me.
"No" I say , taking a bite of chicken. Everyone seems kinda shocked about the quickness of my answer. "Well, uh, I mean , sure I love Ohio but after 19 years of the same place it gets really boring . Maybe when they move back I'll go somewhere else, I've always wanted to go to Europe. I never really did anything with my gap year anyways..."
Tyler seems shocked by the last part of my sentence. I know I moved to LA to be with Tyler and Mark but eventually I am gonna have to leave and maybe Europe is better then just back to normal.
"What? Y/n Europe, are you crazy?" Tyler says a bit loud. Mark seems equally as mad, I guess, maybe concerned.
"I think it's a good idea, living in another country would be cool" Ethan says , he doesn't seem surprised or mad, just happy.
"You're only saying that 'cause it's y/n" Mark says, laughing at his comment. His laugh wasn't his normal laugh, it was snarky and almost douche-y.
"You should be saying that because it's me" I say back. Mark glares at me and I roll my eyes.
"Oooh, she got you Mark" Amy says laughing.
"Yeah yeah whatever" he says taking another bite of his food.
I get out of my chair and grab my plate, heading for the kitchen. I rinse my plate off and put it in their dishwasher . I lean on the counter , scrolling through my twitter timeline. Someone comes up behind me and does the same thing. I figure it's one of Mark's uncles and don't pay attention to them. After they put their plate in the washer they come behind me and wrap their arms around my waist and rest their chin on my shoulder, making me tense up. I raise my head up a little to see blue hair and I relax into his body.
"You okay?" He asks
"Yeah , I didn't think Mark and Tyler would be so upset about the idea of my leaving the country."
"Well, your his little sister and practically Mark's . They just worry about you a lot . right before you came they wouldn't stop talking about you. They would always be cleaning your room, making it perfect for when you could finally come." He says making his grip around me a little tighter.
I turn around in his arms so I'm facing him. His eyes brighten up when he sees my smile. I hug him and slide out of his arms. He looks at me confused. I walk away from him and towards the front door.
"Where are you going?" Mark asks getting out of his seat.
"I don't know, maybe a walk." I say rolling my eyes and opening the door.
"Where?" He asks louder.
"Fuckin hell , around the block maybe." I say back walking out the door.
"Y/n. You're not going out there. It's freezing!" Tyler yells , running out the door.
"Leave me the alone!" I yell running down the street, away from Tyler and Mark.
I stop running and look around . I see woods with a trail going through. Everything was covered in snow. The trees were bare making the snow look pretty. I make my way toward the path and notice there isn't any footprint or any sign of people walking. I continue walking , trying to get Tyler and Mark out of my head.
They can't fuckin control me. Thots.
