"Stayin' up all night, order me pad thai"

Alex's POV
I once again lucked out or maybe missed out. Thanksgiving is an American holiday so Tom doesn't celebrate it. Therefore I once again have missed an opportunity to meet Tom's family.

Since we got off work for Thanksgiving Tom went back to England last night leaving me all alone. Harley currently has a free schedule since she's not doing any projects but she's spending all her time with her new boyfriend Thomas.

All my friends went to spend thanksgiving with their families. I could go hangout with my mom but then again she might be unreachable since she's up in the mountains with her boyfriend.

My phone rang causing me to forget my bad thoughts. It was Tom!

"Hello!" He smiled at me "hey Ally what are you doing?" I sighed "laying in bed thinking about how much I wish I wasn't alone" he laughed and I heard people talking in the background "well I was hoping you would say that! How about you ditch the idiot holiday of yours and come here!" I smiled and then frowned "thanksgiving is the one day of year you get to eat how much you want and whatever you want without being judge!" "Well my mom can cook" I smiled "I'm on my way!"

After hanging up with and buying my plane ticket I was furiously packing. Once I had everything I waited outside for my driver.

I have a license and I could technically drive but this was just easier. Bernie opened the car door for me and I slid in "thank you Bernie!"

"So how long has he been gone before you just had to hop on the next plane to him?" I smiled sheepishly "about 12 hours" he laughed and drove me to the airport.

🖤

I was waiting outside for Tom. He told me he would be on time but he wasn't anywhere to be found.

My phone rang and I grabbed it thinking it was Tom. I answered the phone and saw Sebastian's face "hey Alex!" I smiled "hey Seb how are you?" He sighed and looked behind the camera "not good, Anthony is over here" I smiled and then a car pulled up honking.

"Oh Tom's here wanna say hi?" I pointed the phone at the car and Sebastian hung up. "Who was that?" I sighed "it was Seb and Mackie" I climbed in and Tom kissed my forehead.

He pulled off and I started playing games on my phone. "So what is the point of Thanksgiving?" "Well... it's about... honestly I'm not sure. I think it's about a peace treaty or something like that" he laughed "so why do you celebrate it?" I looked over at him smiling "because of the food".

After about another 30 minutes Tom stopped the car in front of a house. "Come on" my heartbeat speed up "I need to grab my luggage" Tom smiled "I have it" I smiled and slowly walked over to him.

I've never met my boyfriend's mom before. My very first serious boyfriend was Mac Miller but we broke up about two months before I was casted in Homecoming. He and I were always busy so there was never time to meet his parents.

I looked up at Tom and he was already staring at me. "You're cute when you're nervous you know that?" I sighed and he grabbed me hand.

"They've been begging to meet you Ally, it's going to be fine" I raised my brow at him "promise?" He laughed "promise".

We walked up to the door and before Tom could even put his key in the door flew open revealing a women who I assumed was his mom.

"You must be Alex! Come in, Come in!" I smiled walking through the door. Tom's mom hugged me and I hugged her back. I was staring to relax "you're so pretty!" I smiled "thank you so much!".

I looked around smiling "you're house is really nice Mrs. Holland" "thank you darling! Tom take Alex's stuff to your room. Come with me to the kitchen".

I followed Nikki to the kitchen and she gestured for me to sit down. "So are you hungry?" "Not really but I'm sure I will be later" Tom walked in smiling "where is everyone mom?" Nikki was cutting up bell peppers as Tom waited for her to respond "they all went out for dinner" "but aren't you cooking right now?" I asked and Tom laughed "no my mom is just a weirdo and likes to eat bell peppers" "I like bell peppers" Nikki gave me one and I bit into.

"Disgusting" I smiled and when Nikki turned around Tom pulled my hair. "So Alex how are you liking your role?" I looked away from Tom and faced his mom "umm I actually really like it! It's very different from anything I've ever done. I'm a singer and before this I acted on Nickelodeon".

"Well I'm glad you're liking it" "it helps that your son is very nice also" Tom stared at me and I winked when his mom looked away.

Just then the door opened and the quiet house became loud very quickly. "Hey Tom!" I smiled and my nervous feeling came back flooding my entire body.

One of the boys walked over to Tom smiling and I tried to calm myself. "You must be Alex! I'm Sam" I smiled "hi it's nice to meet you, all of you" they all looked at me but not in a weird way just observing. Tom must have noticed that I was feeling off because he interrupted.

"Do you guys wanna play games?" "Yes!" The kitchen became empty leaving me and Tom "you ok?" I looked up at him smiling "your family is nice!" He helped me off the chair and I hugged him.
