"You're moving here? Why? Where are you going to live?" Drew exclaimed.

"My uncle lives in Dallas. A couple of months ago, when we were still planning our meet up, my mom convinced my uncle to buy a house here in Granbury and let him live with us." I said.

"Doesn't he have kids? Wife?"

"No, recently he got out of prison. I don't think anyone would want to date a man that was convicted of theft." I said rubbing the back of my neck.

"Since we're all here, why don't we go back home and do the talking from there?" Madeline said.

"Hey Lilah's mom, can Lilah come with us?" Drew asked.

She let out a soft giggle. "Sure, I'll wait here for my brother; and by the way, call me Kendra."

"Mom, are you sure you'll be okay here? Carrying all our luggage?" I asked cautiously.

"I'll be fine, honey. It's not that heavy. Go have fun with your new friends."

"Great, just follow me." Drew grabbed my hand and led me out the airport.

♡

Drew drove us home. Madeline was in the passenger seat, telling me all about Drew. On what he would say about me, his fans, and his life in Granbury.

"Drew always talked about you. He would be like, 'Lilah this, Lilah that,' I honestly thought y'all met on Black People Meet." Madeline giggled.

I shook my head, grinning wildly.

"We met on Vine. I would make the crappiest vines and it would rarely end up on Popular Now. One day he tweeted one of my vines on Twitter. He called me a bitch, so I decided to message him on Vine and call him a bitch. We just talked more from there." I said.

"What do you guys want to eat?" Drew said.

"I don't care." I said.

"Subway." Madeline said.

"What do you want, Lilah?" Drew asked.

"Just buy me a bag of chips." I said, scrolling through Twitter.

Drew slowly parked at Subway. He got out, expecting Madeline to follow him inside. Madeline stayed, making the shift into and awkward silence.

"I'm pretty sure Drew loved you." Madeline said.

"Loved? What do you mean?" I asked.

"When I said he would always talk about you, I wasn't kidding. Twenty four - seven, it was something about you. When you came and told Drew you were living here, I saw something escape out of him. I'm not sure if its good or bad." Madeline said.

Before I could answer, Drew came in the car with bags of chips.

"I didn't know what chips you wanted, so I got all of these." Drew said spilling them all at once.

"I don't care what chips you got, I thought you knew that Drew." I said, reaching for some Lays

Madeline and Drew grabbed a bag and we sat at a Subway parking lot for 5 minutes. We ate in silence until Drew revived the engine, and drove away slowly.

♡

Drew's house appeared after a 13 minute car ride.

I was eager to jump out and meet the rest of the Phillips.

Once we parked, I jumped out.

"Hurry up Drew!" I squealed.

"Chill." Drew said.

We entered the house as one large group.

"Mom, we're back." Drew yelled, hanging his keys up.

"Is your friend here?" She yelled back.

"Yeah, I'm here Pam." I yelled.

Pam came running from no where and gave me a hug.

"Your Drew's friend, huh? He's so excited that you're here." Pam said.

"She's living here, too." Drew said.

"Here in Granbury? Why? Wouldn't you miss it from where you came from?" Pam asked.

"I don't miss anything back there. I only had two friends, but they'll do fine without me." I said.

"Well, Drew, why don't you lead her around the house?" Pam said.

"Nah, we'll just hang out in our room." Drew said, grabbing my hand.

Drew dragged me in his dark room and shut the door.

♡

After what seemed like hours, my mom finally came to pick me up.

While I got ready to leave, Drew whispered something.

"What was that, Drew?" I asked.

"When are you starting school?" He spoke up.

"I don't know, I still have to register, and wait for my schedule to print out." I said.

"Okay, well bye Lilah." Drew waved.

I walked out his room and find my mom and Pam talking.

"Hey honey, ready to go?" My mom asks.

I nod.

"You'll have to come again, Kendra. I can show you around Granbury since you're new here." Pam said.

"I will, Pam." My mother laughs.

We walked out the door and into an unknown car.

I get in the backseat and buckle my seat belt. I look up and finally see my Uncle Mason after all look these years.

"Hey Li, do you like it here?" He asks.

I nod.

"I love it."

♡

Yikes ! I need an update schedule.

Hope y'all liked it.
