Rushing and getting my things in the box, I became frantic. Different questions were toiling in my mind and I felt like I was the cause!!!

"I'm so sorry I have to ruin your holiday Jace!!" I told him as I entered my seat and did my seatbelt. He sat beside me and did the same.

"Stop saying that. Mia's both our friend and believe me, this year's Thanksgiving is the best I've ever had." He told me. As much as I want to smile and say 'awwn' or 'really?' I had a lot of things to think about!! Then someone's hand were interwined with mine. I looked up.

"Muffin..... I don't know what is in your mind, and I don't know what to say, and I'm fucking bad at words, but always know I'm always there for you!! And remember what ever shit happens, everything is gonna be alright!!" He told me. I sighed.

"Promise?" I asked him. He put his hand on my shoulder.

"Promise!!" He said and kissed my forehead.

"Now why don't you sleep or relax your brain!! I'm sure you didn't get enough sleep!!" He said.

"Well..... I drank coffee!!" I told him.

"Muffin, I give you ten seconds to hear you snore." He said.

"I thought snores are annoying!!" I asked.

"Seven...." He said and I put my head on his shoulders.

Everything is going to be alright.

------------------

  We landed and we went straight to the hospital!! I got there and saw Cinnamon, James, Lily, Jayden.

"Hey guys!!" I said and they all turn. Cinnamon came and hugged me.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked her.

"Depression and all that crap. But he said she's gonna be okay!!" Cin said.

"I'm so scared!!" I said.

"Hey.... Don't worry. Mia will be fine." James said and I nod.

"Sorry dear!!" Lily said and I gave her a small smile.

"Oh, hey guys!!" Jace said.

"Hey Jace!!" Cinnamon greeted.

"Hi Jace!!" James mutter.

"Wait, so she was depressed.... Did she....."

"No. She went far with alcohol but not.... You know what I mean!!" James said.

"Geez, didn't she have plans?" I asked them.

"I think Bitch cancelled it!! And remember tomorrow's the day her Mom died!!" Cinnamon said. I remember that day vividly. We were playing in the garden when Titus, her Dad's secretary came and told Mia to put on black. And we went with different colors. Mia shouting on top of her lungs!!!!

"It gonna be okay!!" I heard Jace whisper to me and I hugged him.

--------------------

"Hey guys..... Awwn, why are you all looking sad?" Mia asked.

"Shut up freak. You made us fucking worried!!" Cinnamon said.

"Honeydrop!!" James said as he pecked her forehead.

"Mia...." I said and she gave me a weak smile. The smile only I understand.

"So what happened this time?" James asked her.

"Uhmm, I'll love not to be bombarded with questions now!!" She said and smiled

"But I don't want to go home. Please!!" She begged and I nod.

"You could stay at ours!!" Lily said and we all nod.

"Geez.... I miss you guys. Look at what your absence caused me!!" She said.

"Shut up!!" We all said and we started laughing and chatting. Even though I knew, behind those smiles, lies weakness. Sorrow and sadness.

-------------------

" You promised. We promised to never go down that road again!!" I said as I dropped my bag on the bed.

"Lizzy please. I didn't have any choice. I was alone and.... I just remembered..... About tomorrow!!" She said, but the part was silent. I hugged her.

"It's okay Mia. We're here for you now!!" I told her.

"Well.... At least you got two boyfriends to console you!!" She said and I pull away.

"I only have one boyfriend!!" I told her.

"You've broken up with Kelvin and you're not dating Jace. Girl you're a Bitch!!" She said smiling.

"Shut up. I didn't break up with Kelvin....... Yet!!" I said.

"Then why not do it now?" She asked.

"No Mia. I..... You can't understand!! Go wash up. You smell dirty!!" I told her.

"You are more dirty Liz. Oh.... And I've always wanted to ask this question!!" She started.

"Go!!!" I yelled and she grumbled and left. Few seconds later, the door was knocked.

"Can I uhmm come in?" I heard a voice.

"Uhmm.... Come in!!" I said and Jayden's figure came in. Oh.

"Hi Liza!!" He said.

"Hey!!" I said and he smiled.

"Uhmm.... Is Mia here?" He asked me.

"Yeah!!" I replied him.

"Oh-kay!!" He said slowly and scratched his hair.

"I want to talk to you!!" He told me. I nod and stood up.

"Let's go!!" I told him.

-----------------

   Entering his room, I stood in awe. James' room is nice, but usually dirty. Not with trash everywhere. But clothes all over the room. It takes him three days to clean his room with help. And God knows Cin won't help him!!!

  Jayden's room is neat, with pictures of the planet on their axis was on the wall. He had a big bed and a basketball net opposite it. And a study table and chair. With two doors. One written ' bathroom' and ' closet'
And a small Christmas tree beside his study table, a shelf with big books. And a rug with the picture of the earth. And his blanket was the planets and the pillows. Baby bear is even on it. And a night stand. His room painted blue and green. And a couch beside the shelf.

"You like my room?" He asked as he plopped on the bed.

"Yup. It's beautiful. Plus neat!!" I said and he smiled. I sat on the couch and I sighed.

"So..... What's it" I asked him.

"Well..... Mike and Jonathan recommended you to me!!" He started. I frowned.

"Recommend..... What? What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"They noticed I had a issue and they said you help with..... Stuff. Mostly relationships!!" He said.

"Gosh. Jonathan!!" I said and he grin.

"Can you help me?..... No.... Can you please help me?" He asked me. And I sat up and shrug.

"Well..... It depends!! On what kind of problem you have!!" I told him.

"Well..... I like Mia.... Well..... I know you'll be surprised. Uhmm, and it has been going for a long time now and.... I want us to be something, together and she doesn't!! Sometimes I feel she only wants to have sex with me and not..... Oh.... Uhmm, I blurted that out!!" He said.

"Well..... Continue!!" I said.

"Mia and i had had sex before and after, we just kept on doing that anytime we're alone or chanced. But then again, I want us to be something not sex mates or anything. But she just wants the pleasure. It's like she's using me!!" He said.

"Well Jay. I'm not sure what to say." I told him.

"Have you told Mia what you want?" I asked him.

"Yes. But everytime I do. I always end up getting hurt!!" He said.

"By her words!!" He added. I sighed and stood up

"Mia's complicated. Have that in mind." I told him.

"But she's soft. I can't really get in the middle of the two if you. But I just want to tell you something. Why don't you just tell her once more and if she doesn't comply. You leave. You don't talk to her anymore. And when she comes to you. You greet her and leave!! That's one step that would work!!" I told him.

"Really?" He asked. I nod and went to him and put my two hands on his shoulders.

"And don't worry. You'll be fine!! Just wait......"

--------------------

"What the fuck?!!" I heard Cinna yell. I sighed in annoyance. This is the kind of fight I don't like getting into. Cinnamon came to tell me James did something wrong. And now the two of them are arguing.

"It wasn't intentional!!" James said.

"Would you guys please shut up and chill?" I asked them. They sighed and looked at me.

"Now explain!!" I said.

"I saw a lady's underwear In his room!! In his closet!!" Cin said. I looked at James.

"It was for Bianca!!" James said.

"But you and Bianca broke up months ago!!" I told him.

"Yeah, but...... I just didn't have time to dispose it!!" He said.

"Or you held on to her!!" Cin said.

"As a memory or....."

"Cinnamon, I don't like Bianca anymore!!! Yes you might have seen her lady pants but I really didn't keep it for memory's!!" He said. And I felt Cin calm down. I sigh.

"I like you, and only you Cin!!" James said. Gosh!! I feel like a third wheel now.

"I know!!" Cin said and they giggled and kissed. Ewwww!!!

"I'm..... I'm just gonna go....." I said.

"Yah whatever!!" They both said and continued their kissing. And I just went out.

I went to Mia's but she's sleeping. So I called Eliza apologizing again and thanking her for the holidays.

With that done, i left the mansion and was driving round when I saw....... Leanie. I parked and went to her.

"Hey!!" I said and she turned, her eyes lit up when she saw me!!

"Oh my gosh. Liz!!!" She said and hugged me.

------------------

"So I was just doing nothing. But i think I'm gonna be a teacher." She told me. I shrug.

"That's actually Soo nice!!" I told her. She smiled.

"What about you?" She asked me.

"I'm not sure yet!!" I told her.

"Okay. I'm sure you'll know!!" She said and I nod. After chatting and chatting. I dropped her home and I left for home.

"Elizabeth, get out of there, I'm not getting younger!!" Jace yelled as I tried to put on something. He said we were going somewhere. I don't know anyways. I slipped into a black sweater and went out. I was wearing red shorts and white tank top and it's windy outside. So i just wore socks and boots and went out. He looked at me.

"Finally..... Grab muffin!!" He said and left as I grabbed my helmet and ran down. I got into his motorbike and wore my helmet then i held tight to him and off we were gone.

-----------------

"Whoa!!!" I said.

Tell me if I'm dreaming. Here I am in the amazing aquarium, it's beautiful and..... So amazing. I just don't know what to say.

"Jace it's beautiful!!" I said.

"Not as beautiful as you are anyway!!" He told me and I smile.

"Yeah. I am!!" I told him and he pulled me by the shoulder.

"Look at that one!!" He pointed at a weird looking yellow fish.

"Looks like you...."

"Really?" He asked and I giggled. After few walks admiring the fishes and chatting. He suddenly stopped.

"What?" I asked amidst laughs.

"The next time I bring you here......." He started. I listened. And he giggled.

"What?" I asked smiling.

"No it's just. You became serious and your serious face us deadly cute!!" He told me and I smile.

"Tell me!!" I told him.

"The next time I bring you to an aquarium....... I'm going to make it a special place you will never forget!!" He said and I smile. I nod.

"I can't wait...." I said. He kissed me and put his hands round my shoulder as we walked.

"Me too!!"

---------------------

  The next day being Monday wasn't a nice day at all. People were talking a lot about Thanksgiving, happy, hugging their friends. Saying I miss you. Mine will have been perfect too, but I just had to have a boyfriend who ignored me.

  Lunch came and he was no where to be found. I took a Nutella sandwich and went out looking for him. Where would he be? I went to the boys locker, I didn't see him. Then I went to the field, he wasn't there. I called James.

"Hey bear. If there's anywhere Kelvin will hide, where will that place be?" I asked him.

"Easy, his car in the parking lot eating an apple pie and sighing!!" James replied.

"Thanks!!" I told him and hanged up. I ran to the parking lot to actually see him eating apple pie I'm his car. I went to the window and knocked. He turned and opened the door.

"Hey!!" I said.

"Hey!!" He muttered.

"Nutella?" I asked him.

"Not on Mondays!!" He said. Is there a specific time to eat Nutella? Not for me though. I sighed and started eating it.

"How was Thanksgiving?" I asked him.

"Shitty!!" He replied and I nod.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"The usual!! This time, I don't think Dad's gonna be home anymore." He told me. Kelvin's house is a drama house like Bollywood movies.

"Oh..... I'm sorry!!" I said and he grinned.

"It's okay......" He said then looked at me and back at his pie.

"I heard you went to LA with Jace!!" He said. I cleared my throat.

"Yeah. He didn't have anywhere to go. I had tickets and.... It was fun hanging out for the first time with Eliza in Thanksgiving break!!" I told him. He nod.

"I thought it was the whole family?" He asked.

"Dad had appointments and Betty..... Was nowhere to be found.... Oh she went to Washington." I told him.

"Why didn't you tell me to go along with you?" He asked me.

"For God's sake, you had a family who was welcoming you to spend Thanksgiving with them. Kelvin, there so many Thanksgivings you've done with me and the others." I told him.

"My Dad wanted to meet you. Plus my Grandma and.... The rest!!" He said.

"And that was the first time in my life my sister willingly welcomed me to spend Thanksgiving with her Kelvin." I told him. He nod and stood up. Already done with his pie.

"Do you want to go back to the cafeteria?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"No. I rather prepare for the next class!!" He told me and took his bag. I sighed. I got out of the car too.

"Okay. We have the next class together, maybe we can go together?" I asked him. He closed the door, locked it, and nod.

"Okay!!"

-----------------

So maybe we didn't prepare for the next class but used the rest of Lunch break to make out even though I wasn't into it. Kill me. I was thinking of Mia, and Jace, then my mind switched to Jayden and went back to Jace. And then make out we had Thanksgiving break and I just had to smile and Kelvin thought I was enjoying it. Nice save!!! And when the bell rang, I fixed my hair and everything though the swollen lips were obvious. And I'm sure Kelvin was happy he was the reason it was like that.

We went to class, sat beside each other and held hands. It was cute but my eyes was on a hoodie just two rolls on front of me. After class and classes and classes, the bell rang and Kelvin drove home. We didn't really talk and I guess the both of us were avoiding the topic we needed to discuss. Urgently because it's the pillar of our relationship. I'm nervous and he was too. So we never really talked about it.

"Bye Kelvin...." I said.

"Bye Liz!!" He waved and left. I turned and entered the mansion.

"Hello Elizabeth!!" I heard Valencia say.

"Oh my God, I missed you!!" I yelled as I hugged her. Part true. Part lie. All workers always get a break for Thanksgiving and it's cool because she always go somewhere amazing!!!

"And then we went skydiving with Fiona!!" She said. We were in the laundry room talking about her niece Fiona. A troublesome, plus mischievous and a little bit of mysterious. She was brunette, blue eyes, tall for her age and might be a little too thin. She's fourteen. And I call her Ramona.

"She's getting fat these days. Her bucket list was to finish a whole jar of cookies!!" She said. I giggled and took a bite out if my muffin.

"Really? I actually thought she didn't like cookies?" I asked her.

"Exactly the point Liz. She was eating the cookies with disgust. But she just wanted to finish her list." She said. I giggled.

"My little Ramona." I said and Valencia nod.

"How was your Thanksgiving Break with the gang?" She asked me. I smiled.

"You'll not believe it when I say i didn't spend with the gang at all!" I told her.

"Really?" She asked. I nod as I

"Then with who?" She asked.

"Eliza!!" I replied her and she looked at me stunned.

"Really? Awwn, I'm so happy for you!!" She said and hugged me. I nod.

"Yeah...." I said and pulled away.

"We went to a fest where we did a lot of things, like a turkey challenge, rollercoaster, games. We tried everything. Plus stuffing ourselves with Taffy!!" I told her and she giggled

"That's amazing!!" She said.

"Oh.... And I went to the tallest building in LA!!" I said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah. With Jace!!" I told her.

"Is it that boy that always climbs up your window every night?" She asked. I felt my cheek heat up.

"Not every night." I told her. She coughed and i giggle blushing.

"Stop Valencia!!" I told her.

"No.... You just have to tell me. Why he always climbs up to your room? Why he gave you a muffin helmet? Why he followed you to Los Angeles and why you are blushing so much?" She asked me. I jumped down the machine.

"Whatever. When will Fiona come?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure. She'll come for Christmas though!!" She told me. I nod.

"Okay then!! We'll complete her bucket list together. Excuse me." I told her.

"Okay!!" She said and I went up to my room. Then my phone rang. Mitchell!?

"Hi Mrs.Chambers!" I said knowing she hates it. She said it makes her feel old.

"You know I can spank you right now?" She asked. I giggled.

"What's up Mitchell?" I asked her.

"Dinner party. With the Orchards!!" She said.

"Whoa!!" I said.

"And the Myers!! And Shellys!!" She said and I nod.

"Okay. So I'm I invited?" She asked me.

"You know you are. I'm trying to convince Cinna here to wear a dress. Can you please help me?" She asked me.

"I'll love too!! Be there in 15!!" I told her.

"Thanks!!" She said and she hang up. And I have to pick a dress for the dinner party.
