Chapter 21🥀Thanksgiving (2)

🎵Listen to In The End by Linkin Park🎶

            *WES POV*

I am seated on the passenger side of my green Audi R8. Edward is behind the wheels driving me to my father's mansion for the thanksgiving dinner.

I had asked Edward to take a break for the holidays but all he said was that his family is complicated to be around .

I wish Chicago was by my side but she wanted to spend the holidays with her parents and who am I to deny her.

The loud ringing of my phone brings me back to reality. I check the caller ID and see its Jean.

"You're late." She says in a firm voice.

"I'm forty five minutes away. I had to fix a few things before coming." I defend myself.

"I'm bored.bAlex is spending the holidays with his family and I'm here all alone ..."

I listen to her whining for the next forty five minutes. When she's about to end the call I tell her I've arrived and she squeals out of happinesses.

                     ***
As we enter the dinning room together I see that Jean was right when she said I was late.

My dad and Jayda are both seated at the ends of the huge dinning table. My dad's younger sister, Aurora Hughes Wales is seated next to her husband Tharon Wales.

Next to them is their sixteen year old daughter, Denise.
Opposite the Wales is my father's older brother, Gale Hughes together with his family. Aunt Elizabeth and their twenty two year old twin sons, Adam and Aiden.

Besides the twins sits Serenity. She is mine and Jean's cousin from our mother's side.I still don't know why she still comes to these gatherings.

Her family stopped coming once Jean and I turned eight. Now twenty years later she still comes to all Hughes family gatherings.

She is my favorite cousin.We are practically the same age. She is six months younger than me and Jean.

I scan my gaze again and my eyes land on a smiling Meghan.

Meghan !

What is she doing here. Doesn't she have a family to go spend thanksgiving with ?!

Why do I ask... she probably murdered them... who knows ?

I walk towards the table and sit next to Serenity. Jean seats directly opposite from me.

"I missed you." Serenity whispers in my ear and I whisper it back to her.

I turn and see Jean eyeing me suspiciously. She always had this bizzare theory that the reason Serenity still hungs out with our family is because she likes me intimately. I laughed at that.

Serenity and I were just really good friends.

My conversation with Serenity is cut short when food is brought by waiters dressed in black and red.

Everyone is eating while making small conversation. Plastic smiles covered on their faces. I know better than anyone that none of us like each other.

I keep my gaze on Meghan in case she tries something stupid. In which I know she will.

Ten minutes into watching her she abruptly stands up and excuses herself. I follow her suit raising everyone's suspicions levels to a hundred.

I find Meghan leaning on one of the walls in the hall way, a devilish smirk plastered on her face.

"I knew you'd follow me. You just can't stay away from all of thi-"
