Meg's POV

*At Christian's House in Malibu*

So, the Red Sox got eliminated in the Divisional and didn't play the yankees. Which means that me and Christian didn't go home to Boston in October. But we are trying to figure out Thanksgiving plans. I've developed a tradition where I always go to my nana's house for Thanksgiving and Christmas no matter how much dad treats me like shit. It's what mom would want.

I'm hesitant to tell Christian because he knows how much my dad treats me like shit. He's heard it from me, from Pat, and from Cait. He's also heard it from Mia and Matthew. I'm gonna send them a blast text to ask them their opinions.

Me: What would guys think if I did what I normally do for thanksgiving, only this time bring Christian home with me? Prob be there for about a week ish.

Matthew🤙🏻🐳: I mean if you really wanna subject yourself to that, I cant really tell you no bc it's ultimately your choice

Bueno🙈: matthew wont tell you no but I certainly will. Don't do it meg, it's not worth it

Pat🏃🏻‍♂️🥌: I mean dad hasn't been awful lately so maybe you'll get him on a good day. I don't think it's a good idea but it would be nice to see you. Bc it's with nana you might get rly lucky bc you know he won't say anything in front of her bc ur the fav grandkid.

Cait💙🏆: pat's right. Dad's been somewhat tolerable but that doesn't mean that he wont go back to how he usually is when you come. Talk to christian abt it obvi but it'd be nice to have you home for a bit.

Pat🏃🏻‍♂️🥌: if you do thanksgiving out here, don't do Christmas. Trust me.

Cait💙🏆: ^

Bueno🙈: ^^

Matthew🤙🏻🐳: ^^^

Me: I'll talk to christian. And let you guys know soon. I hope to see you soon.

They liked my message and then I text Christian.

Me: hey babe, no rush but any idea when your coming home? I wanted to run a thought by you.

CY🥰❤️: I'm on my way now baby, everything ok?

Me: yea everything's fine. I just wanna run something by you. Take your time, I love you

CY🥰❤️: I love you too, be home in 5.

Christian does indeed come home in five minutes all tired and gross from his workout with Ryan. I make him shower before he comes anywhere near me because he smelled.

"What's up babe?"

"What would you think about going home to Boston and having Thanksgiving at my dad's?" I say hesitantly.

"You mean having Thanksgiving with the man that you are no longer on speaking terms with? The man that disowned you as his child? The man that kicked you out of his house over a sport and told you not to come home until you quit? Not fucking happening. No way."

I reason, "Christian, please? It'd only be one day with him. And it's either thanksgiving or Christmas and I know for a fact that neither of us wanna be in Boston for Christmas."
