It had been days since I told Eddie about my family. He's been very sympathetic and sweet about it and of course it was great but it didn't change the fact that I still didn't have a family.

I got up and rushed to the phone, dialing Eddie, Alex, David and Michael to all come over.

I first started with Alex, of course he could come I mean what else would he be doing? David said he'd be a bit late due to martial arts or something like that and Michael was able to come too.

I then dialed Eddie.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's y/n."

"Oh hey what's up?"

"Nothing, everyone's coming over if you wanna join?"

"Sounds good to me."

"Great be here soon."

"Will do." I could practically see his smile through the phone

I made my way around the house, checking if we had enough beer and cleaning up here and there. I guess it couldn't be that messy since I'm always the only one home.

Soon enough, everyone started to arrive. Michael came first, a six pack of beer in his hand. Then Alex came, obviously in sunglasses. Eddie then arrived and we all waited for David.

"He's always so late to everything." Alex said

"Yea and I get the whole martial arts thing but he's probably spending an hour on his hair alone!" I say

"Don't even get me started on the amount of time it takes him to decide what he's gonna wear." Michael laughs

Eddie just nods, laughing along. Eventually David makes it, wearing alarmingly low rise pants and a t shirt.

"So how is everyone." He practically yells

"Good." We reply in monotone

Alex invited his girlfriend as did Michael so they showed up soon enough and everyone was just having a good time. We played records and chatted.

"Hey does anyone wanna play a game?" I ask

"What kinda game?"

"Beer pong." I say

"Hell yea!" Michael shouts

We set up the game, filling up every cup almost to the brim. He throws first, sinking the ball into a cup which I quickly finished. The game went on and we were tied, both of us only having two full cups left. He throws the ball, somehow sinking it into a cup. I throw and miss, he wins the game and I finish the cups.

"Wow good game y/n." He says

"Hah thanks. Anyone else wanna play? I know a few more games."

"Sure why not." David says

"Ok in this one someone will ask a question and if we don't wanna answer, we have to take a shot. Hey Alex you wanna ask questions?"

Alex agrees and we start the game.

"Ok David, what's the real reason you're always late."

"Well mostly martial arts but occasionally I'll meet a girl or something." He says

We all nod, not believing what he said.

"Ok y/n is there a reason why you've invited Eddie over five times this week?"
