Adventures at Hopkins

meeting the family

Today I was going to meet Amelia's family. I was very nervous but I felt ready. I went to Amelia's place and we ate a late breakfast together and left to go see her family. We arrived at the airport and took a plane to New York. We arrived a couple of hours later. We landed and went to get some lunch on our way to her mother's house. We stopped at a donut shop and bought a box of 12 and 2 coffees. We both ate 2 donuts on the way and kept the rest for later to share with her family. We drove in the driveway of this huge and gorgeous house.

"Are you ready?" Amelia asked me as we stepped out of the car.

"I think I am yes." I answered really nervous. I gave her a quick smile as she came over to my side of the car.

"We can always tell them that we are coming tomorrow and just go to a hotel or something."

"O, no Amelia we are going to do this. It'll be fine."

"You don't know my family, they are so mean. They are always saying how I am the black sheep of the family just because I am the youngest and haven't accomplished anything big yet. Just know that it'll be a chaotic weekend." Amelia said looking at me with sadness in her eyes, I could tell she was hurting. Her family didn't talk good about her and that hurt her and seeing her hurt makes me very sad. I gave her a big hug and td her everything will be fine and that I am here to defend her."

"Ok, thank you Arizona. Let's go inside then." Amelia took my hand and we walked to the door. She knocked and let go of my hand when her mother opened the door so she could give her a hug.

Her mother backed up and gave me a big smile while saying: " You must be Arizona. I have heard a lot of great things about you."

"Yes I am. It is nice to finally meet you." I said and she gave me a big smile telling us to come inside.

We went inside and to the living room. It was only the 3 of us in the house. I saw Amelia looking around to see where the rest of her family is. She looked at her mom and she went into the other room. We were getting our drinks when all of a sudden the bell rang. Her mom ran to the door and there they were her 3 sisters were all talking and walking over to the living room. The saw Amelia and I and they stopped talking. Amelia gave me a quick warning look and then returned to her sisters.

"Hi Amy!" One of the tall girls yelled.

"Hi Nancy, Lizzie and Kathleen. I see mom called you all here. It's been a while since we last saw each other, how are all of you." Amelia said carefully and nervous.

Her sisters ignored her question and looked at me and then back at Amelia asking her who is was. Before she could answer I stood up extending my hand and telling them my name is Arizona. They all shook my hand and disappeared in the kitchen returning with some bottles of wine. We all sat at the table and her mom went to do the last parts of the diner.

Amelia's POV

We all sat at the table and my sisters were talking to each other completely ignoring me. I took my phone and send a text to Derek asking if he was coming tonight because I really needed him here. Derek was the only one that stood up for me when my sisters were being their mean selfs. I got a text back and he is suppose to arrive in 10 minutes. I looked at Arizona and smiled a little letting her know that I was trying to make the best out of the evening despite all the sister talk. I stood up and told mom I was going to give Arizona a tour of the house. We went out the kitchen and upstairs.

I gave Arizona a tour of the house starting upstairs. We went up the stairs and I apologized for my sisters. She said it was no big deal but I really hated this, I never bring people home because of them. We went to my room and stayed there for a moment before returning to the tour.

"So this is where we will be sleeping tonight. This is my room."

"It is very big and pretty. I love how you have so much stuff on the ground you know just being you."

"I am so sorry about that, I haven't been here in a while and everytime I am here i am just too lazy to clean. I will make sure it is before we go to bed. I will put up your bed later tonight or we can just both sleep in mine since we do that all the time." I said while picking up some clothes from the ground.

"It is ok really this is you and it doesn't bother me. And you don't have to put up an extra bed for me we can sleep together like we always do after the bar."

We talked some more in my bedroom and went back downstairs when we heard the doorbell. I ran to the door opening it and being greeted by Derek and his big smile.

"AMY!" He said very happy to see me. He hugged me very tightly and lifting me of the ground.  He put me back down and walked over to Arizona introducing himself.

"I am Arizona. It is a pleasure finally meeting you Derek. I have heard some good things about you." Derek gave her a hug and said he was happy finally meeting her too.

We all went to the living room to help mom put the dinner on the table. We sat down and started eating. It was silent for a minute and then my sisters started again telling me what they had accomplished and what I didn't. The whole evening went like this, Derek defending me and them not stopping.
