y/n's pov:

i was washing the dishes laughing at something karls mom had just told me

"can i help with anything?"

i finished my last dish and turned around to see taylor, i flashed her a sweet smile

"yes yes take this to the table please and thank you" karls mom handed a dish to her 

"dinner table! time to eat" my mom yelled

everyone began to walk over to the dining room table, i left myself behind in the kitchen

"y/n cmon you've cleaned everything"

there wasn't anything to be worried about.. i always sat beside karl at dinner time i was the one in the seat next to him it was always like that. i took a long breathe befrore stepping out and into the dining room area and yea i saw taylor sitting right beside him laughing with him. a seat was open between the cousins and it brought a smile to my face. i was okay with that

"so how long have you guys been together" my mom asked

"a year and of course many more" taylor chuckled

i choked on a piece of food i was eating but thankfully only nick noticed. he went wide eyed and smirked in my direction causing me to try and not giggle and spit out everything

"what are your plans for tomorrow taylor?" karls mom asked

"Christmas with the family is all. im hoping karl can come later to spend a bit with my family too"

"i dont wanna disappoint, but the boy is stuck and glued here for the day" she apologized

"oh no worries! ive taken him and hung out with him plenty already" taylor smiled

the conversation died down and soon everyone had their small talk with people around them. i continued to eat my food but felt my leg anxiously starting to bounce up and down, something only karl knows i do when im anxious

"why is the table shaking" star whined

"s-sorry thats my leg my bad" i apologized

you okay i saw karl mouth 

i sent his a fast nod and looked down to proceed to eat my food

-

"y/n please PLEASEE" star begged

"please please please please please"

"hey nick wants me to play video games with him im sorry i want to. im sleeping over star ill have the entirety of the day to play dolls" i assured

she nodded sadly taking ahold of max's hand and waddled away

"your fucking fault" i crossed my arms and glared down nick

"my ass" he giggled

once gone upstairs, i made my way towards nicks room and threw myself on his bed

"movie or video games?" he asked

"whatever you want" i played with my fingers

"whats up" he rested his hand on my knee rubbing it with his thumb

"its karl huh"

"well n-no its not him. me. its me. dude i dont know"

"not gonna lie i could somewhat hear the yelling downstairs last night between you guys with angie. but wanna talk about what happened?"

i nodded sadly and he dropped the subject of last night as i glanced around his room

"you know i think he like.. fell out of love with taylor i dont know"

my heart beat began to pick up

"o-out of love?"

"he seems so happy with her how could you say that" i laughed sadly

"have you talked with him about it yet" he asked

"if he fell out of love?"

he nodded and i shook my head signalling no 

"first time hearing about it right now"

"cmon i cant be the only one who noticed?" he questioned

"youre overreacting probably, you tend to do that a lot" 

"oh shove off dude no i know karl. best friend and all but seriously like yea hes happy but is he himself? like ive seen himself when hes around you"

'nick what the fuck are you trying to say"

he couldn't respond as immediately star and max bursted thru the door running to nick and i

"i wanna hangout with y/n! not taylor she sucks" star pouted

"sh sh thats not nice" i laughed

on cue then karl and taylor walked into the room eyeing us all

"their calling us all down" he stated pointing behind him

one by one we walked out, and i walked out without bothering to look at karl or acknowledge he was there
