With arms wide open

/ getting to know each other /

I woke up the next morning with the smell of pancakes, and when I opened my eyes and looked over to my parents bed I found it empty, so when I was widely awake I quickly got down to the kitchen to find Mom and Dad already there, they were talking about something:

"Okay, so that's set" Dad said "now we'll have to find your maid of honor, because I already know that I want my brother to be my man of honor"

Mom started laughing and said:

"Are you kidding me right Chris?"

I saw how Dad looked at Mom with a strange look and he said:

"No, why?"

Mom sighted and said:

"My maid of honor is obviously going to be Lu"

He opened his eyes wide open and so did I, was I really going to be the maid of honor at my parents wedding, I felt how little tears came down my cheeks and then my Mom asked:

"How do you think she'll take it, and what will she say?"

I stepped out still with little tears in my eyes and said:

"She'll take it very good and she'll say yes, thank you very much"

Both of them turned around to face me and smiled widely, they came to me and gave me a hug while Mom said:

"Really?"

"Of course Mom!" I replied while hugging her back. There was a silence and then Dad said:

"You know we love you right?"

"Yeah, I you that I love you too very much?"

They let out nervous laughs and said:

"Yeah honey"

We let go and finished the making of pancakes while the rest of the family came downstairs, the first one was Stella that came in with a worried look and told me Mom:

"Aunt Jess, Lu in not on her room"

"I'm here Stella" I say before my Mom could say anything

When she saw me she smiled widely and came to me running to give me a hug, I lift her up and hugged her back, I sat her down at the table and helped my Mom finishing up with the pancakes while the rest of the family came down and sat at the table and ate breakfast.

I spent the morning making  cookies, Dad made a photo of us and placed it on Instagram, when I saw it the only thing I could do was laugh, and then I placed it too myself on my Instagram.  (foto)

After we had lunch I heard the doorbell ringing and grandma went to open it, to come a little after to tell me while she winked:

"You have a visit" 

My Dad saw it and quickly closed the book and said:

"What?"

I stood up and running I went to the door, went outside and closed the door to see Lucas:

"Hola" / "Hi" I tell him

"Hola, ¿y esa rapidez?"/ "Hi, and what is with the rush?" he asked after giving me a kiss

"Mi padre, ¿damos un paseo?" / "My father, wanna go to have a walk?"

He smiled and laugh a bit before saying:

"Vale" / "Sure"

I opened back the door and said to no one in particular:

"I'm leaving with a friend I'll be back in one hour" and closed the door 

----------------------------------------- time skip -----------------------------------------

We were at the park, siting in a bench when Lucas told me:

"Tengo que decirte algo" / "I have to tell you something"

I quickly looked at him in the eye and asked:

"¿Sí?" / "Yes?"

"Mi familia y yo nos vamos a mudar a Los Angeles en un par de días" / "Me and my family are moving to Los Angeles in a couple of days"

"¿Cómo?" / "What?"

He sighted and said:

"Si, lo siento"  / "Yeah, I'm sorry"

I looked down and started thinking, when it came, Dad told me that he lived in LA, that we were in Boston only for a couple of days, my smile came back, and I looked up and told him:

"Mi padre me dijo que vivía en Los Angeles, a si que supongo que nosotros también nos iremos para allá" / "My father told me that he lived in LA, so i guess we'll be going there too"

"¿De verdad?" / "Really?"

I nodded, and her gave me a hug, and after that we continued talking

----------------------------------------- time skip -----------------------------------------

I got back, as I said, an hour later, Lucas stayed with me till I was inside my house and when I got in, with a cup of vanilla ice cream I headed to the kitchen to throw it to the trash when Dad came in and asked me making me jump:

"Who was that boy?"

"¡Coño!" I said while jumping, I turned around to face him and I said "He's a friend"

"Only a friend? Come on princess, you can tell me anything"

"Yeah right, you'll freak out anyways"

I left the kitchen to go to the living room and sat down on the sofa, and my Dad next to me:

"There's nothing between that boy and you right?"

"I don't know Dad"

"What do you mean by that?" he said, clearly nervous

"I don't know really Dad"

He sighted and didn't insist on it again, there was a silence and I asked him after a while:

"When are we going to LA? No that I don't like it here, but I would like to know"

He looked at me and said:

"Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about this, we'll be going tomorrow"

I looked at him with astonishment, and before I could say anything Mom came in and asked me:

"How was your afternoon with your friend?"

Dad turned to her and asked her in a joke tome:

"So you're pushing this forward?" 

Mom and me laughed for some time, in which she came to my side in the sofa and hugged me, and when she could manage to talk she said:

"I think they look cute together, just that"

Dad rolled his eyes and said:

"Whoever, I'm seeing that this is a lost battle already"

We kept talking till it was 7, when we decided to go up and get all of our stuff together for tomorrow's flight, we finished at 9 and we got down to have dinner with our family, they've grown a lot on me and I could that it had happened the other way around, specially with Stella, I knew it was going to be tough to say goodbye, when we were going to go to bed I said:

"Oh, one thing"

Both my parents stopped what they were doing and looked at me, and Mom asked:

"Yes honey?"

"My birthday is in two months"

"Oh, yeah, forgot about it, but now go to sleep, we have a long day tomorrow" said Dad

"Okay, good night Mom and Dad"

"Good night hon" my mother said with a smile

"Good night princess"

And with that I fell asleep
