Marlow's POV
Thanksgiving is this week and we don't have enough money to go back. I miss my moms. Lemmy misses her moms and her sisters. We really want to go back but I'm not making that much money and neither is she. "Hey Lemmy, what are we doing for Thanksgiving this year?" I asked. She shrugged. "Do you wanna go home?" I asked. "We cant go home. I cant teleport that far and we don't have the money" she said. "I know but we have to do something" I said. "Babe I really wanna help you but I have to get this album released and I really need to focus right now" she said. She's looked back to her computer. "Sorry" I said. She has to get the album out by Thanksgiving or they'll drop the label. I should probably go do my broadcast. 

"Babe!" Lemmy bursts through the door. "Hi?" I said confused. "I did it! My album is releasing on Wednesday!" She announced. "That's amazing baby!" I hugged her. "Will you come to my release party on Wednesday?" She asked. "Am I gonna get smothered by security again?" I asked. "No, this time you'll be my plus one" she said. "Ok, then yes" I agreed.

We're at the party. She's such a star. She's found where she belongs. I just wish that I knew where I belonged because its not here. I realize that I like being a DJ but I like doing my radio broadcast even more. I could do that from Florida. I wont leave Lemmy here, but I really wanna go home. Even if its just for a minute. I don't like city noise. I'm used to the people in Orlando just setting off fireworks even though its nowhere near the 4th or new years. I'm used to hearing the owls and frogs that don't shut up while you're trying to sleep. Now I just listen to the horns of the cars and the arguments of my neighbors. "Mabel this is my girlfriend Marlow" Lemmy introduced us. "Hi" I shook Mabel's hand. "Babe, Mabel is gonna be one of my backup dancers" Lemmy said. "Oh! Ok" I smiled. I don't really care but Ill pretend. Lemmy introduced me to her backup dancers and a few other people she works with. Do you know how embarrassing it is when your girlfriends friends ask you about your job and all you can say is, I have a radio broadcast that pays two dollars an hour? Its very embarrassing. Lemmy is the only thing keeping me going right now.

"Hey, I haven't gotten anytime alone with you" Lemmy sat down at the table with me. "That's because you're a star and in about two minutes this table will be flooded with your fans" I said. "I know, which is why we're leaving" she said. She took my hand and we walked out to the car.

"So have you found something to do on Thanksgiving?" she asked. "I didn't know that was on me" I said. "Well I haven't really had time to think about it" she said. "I've been busy too, ya know" I said. "I know" she said. "I just don't understand why you think that I should be the one to choose when you don't even give it a thought" I said. "Ok well I did give it a thought, and you're being incredibly rude right now" she said. "Oh I'm so sorry your highness" I said sarcastically. "Marlow!" She yelled at me. I leaned on the counter and put my head in my hands. "I'm sorry" I mumbled. "Its ok, you know Ill always forgive you" she rubbed my back. I hugged her. "Here's what we'll do. Tomorrow we'll stay home and just enjoy each others company ok?" Lemmy says. "Ok" I said.

Alex's POV
I wish that Lemmy could have came back for Thanksgiving. We haven't heard a word from her or Marlow since they got on the plane. Kai is keeping Cal happy. I'm not doing so great. I lost my girlfriend and my sister. Cleo comes back for Thanksgiving week tomorrow. I'm so excited to see her again. "Hey Cal" I said. "Hey Alex" she said. "Are you exited about Cleo coming?" she asked. "Yeah I am" I said. "I don't know how you're gonna lie to her" she said. "What?" I asked. "Well you say you're fine but I know you're not" she said. "How do you know that?" I asked. "Because you're more distant, you're gaining weight, and NO you're not fat, but you're not ok" she said. "What am I supposed to do? Act like nothings changed, because everything has changed!" I exclaimed. "I know, but maybe you should get a job. Like a real one that pays, or go to the gym. Go on a diet or workout. Treat yourself" she said. "When did you become the smart one?" I asked. "Well if Lemmy's the dumb one and your the scared one, than that makes me the smart one" she said.

I walked into my room and stopped in my tracks. "Hey babe" Cleo sat on my bed. "You're here!" I cheered. She  got up and kissed me. "I missed you" I said. "I missed you too. Oh! Ok, I'm gonna spend Thanksgiving dinner with my family, but be by right after." She said. I nodded. "Ok." I smiled.

Cleo just came back from her family. She sat at the bottom of the bed in her dog form and stared at me. "What?" I asked. "You're so cute" she said. "You're cute too" I said. I leaned forward and scratched behind her ear. Her foot started twitching and I laughed. "I have something to tell you" she said. "Oh no. That sounds bad" I said. "No its not that bad. Max and I found a better college and we're moving there" she said. "Where is it?" I asked. "Its in... New York" she said. "What!?" I exclaimed. "I know its far away but its a really good college and I really wanna go" she said. I sighed. "You're not coming back, are you?" I asked. "Not until I'm done with college" she said. "Not even on holidays?" I asked. She shook her head. "I'm really gonna miss you!" I hugged her. My eyes watered. "Baby don't cry" she said. "I'm not. I just really don't want you to go" I said. "Ill be back eventually. You know that" she said. I nodded. "Just like Lemmy" I huffed. "I will be back. I promise" she said.

"Hey you were right" I said. Cleo left a few days ago. "I'm right about a lot of things so what were you referring to?" Cal asked. "I do need a job and I am gonna treat myself." I said. "I'm happy for you. Woah! Lemmy just texted and said she released her album!" Cal said. "Are you serious! Oh my Zeus that's insane" I said. "This is amazing! I'm buying it right now" Cal started searching through her phone.
