Part 12: Family

Heyyyy I know it's a little late cause thanksgiving was like almost a month ago...ish...But either way...HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND ENJOYYYY ❤️

"-So next question. What are you all doing for Thanksgiving?" I give a little laugh and say.
"Probably just hanging at the dorms." Sam laughs and just nods along before turning back to the others.

I already know what the rest are doing. Asher going with Hammie to her Moms house because she is finally home again. Roshan and Tremain are going to Roshans family's, and then there was me. I'll just be...There.

I mean I don't mind but still it sucks when you have to spend a holiday that's literally entire meaning is being together with family alone...

Hideo appears almost out of thin air and gives me a crooked smile. I give a small smirk in response.

"So...Heard that the dorms are gonna be pretty lonely this time of year." I roll my eyes. Of course he caught on. It didn't look like anyone else had realized that I was going to be alone, but this is Hideo. Can't get much past that big brain of his.

"Yup! Just me!" I try to pass it off as a joke, but my laugh is short lived and quickly fades away. I watch as Hideo frowns and then his eyes light up.

"Come over to my house! Your over there enough anyway and plus mom loves you! She would probably enjoy having you there more then she would me." He rolls his eyes and laughs a little at the last part.

"Don't act so surprised! Many people like me!" I say placing my hand over my heart slightly offended.

"Keep telling yourself that Em and maybe it'll come true." I give him a little shove and he stumbles still snickering at my reaction.

It's silent for a second before he looks at me.
"Mi, I'm wasn't kidding...Come on over! It'll be fun!" I stare at the floor before looking up at him.

"You absolutely sure I would be intru-" he scoffs.
"Emika." He gives me such a perfect judgmental look that I have no choice but to believe that it has been practiced.

But what he doesn't know is that I have one that can rival just about anyones.

Do I want to intrude? No....

Do I want to spend some time with my best friend who also doubles as my boyfriend? .....Yeah....Yeah I do....

I frown before breaking the eye contact. He gives a small fist pump and I just roll my eyes.

"It's only cause I need to make sure that I don't die of food poisoning, when I try and eat some stupid ass feathered bird." He smirks.

"Are you sureeee that it's not because you want to spend time with me?" I scoff.

"You would have to be mental to want to willing spend time with such a big headed, egotistical, stuck up, billion air such as yourself." The interviewer next to me chokes on her drink. Hideo smiles into the camera.

"This is my best friend. Her name is Emika Chen and she can be such a little shit when she wants to be." He gives a dazzling fake smile to the camera before waking away.

I stay behind for a second and look back at the camera.
"He doesn't know what he's talking about....I'm awesome." I role my eyes one more time before  walking after Hideo.

Hideo: You never did give me an answer 😒

Emika: weeeeellllll if you want me there sssoooo bad...Im sure I can find a way 🙄

Hideo: don't deny it
Hideo: You so want to be here

Emika: Do not

Hideo: Do to

Emika: I could do this all day.

Hideo: STEVE THAT YOUU

Emika: Idiot.

Hideo: your favorite idiot :)

Emika: ....
Emika: Fine...I guess you can be my favorite

Hideo: MWUHAHAHAHA 😈

Emika: 😑

Hideo: 😁

I raise my hand up to knock but before my fist can even hit the door it's being flung open.

Hideo leans against the doorframe with a smirk.
"Knew you would come Sunshine." I roll my eyes and invite myself inside.

With anyone else I would obviously wait for them to wave me in or something like that....But this is Hideo. My best friend who as of a year ago doubled as my boyfriend. So I can invite myself in. This is basically my home. I'm in this house more then I'm in my own.

"Emi? Hon, that you?!" My face breaks into a wide grin.
"Hi Mrs. Tanaka!!" I make my way into the kitchen and within seconds am wrapped up in her arms.

"I heard everything! Don't you dare for one second think you sent welcome her Emika Jane Chen!" I laugh and little and soon we fall into sync.

I'm peeling the potatoes and finishing up the mashed potatoes before I start on the stuffing. Hideo is throwing together a (very delicious looking) teriyaki chicken bowl, and Meena is filling the room with the wonderful scent of freshly baked apple pie.

Before long we are all sitting down at the table laughing and talking. I carefully link my hands with Hideo and he gives my hand a small squeeze. I don't hesitate to squeeze back.

This is how Thanksgiving is supposed to be. Together with everyone you love, not caring  about anything other then the food and the people in front of you.

Thanksgiving is a time for family, and that is who I am with.

Hideo, Meena, and me.

One small family just trying to survive the rocky path of life.
