Only Time Will Tell

meeting the fam

I'm completely freaking out. It's been a week since Liz brought up the topic of meeting her family, and today is when I finally get to. I haven't talked or seen her much due to her schedule, so I'm hoping everything works out.

To help calm my nerves, I decided to go into the kitchen and conjure up something. Liz has been teaching me a bunch of recipes, which I greatly appreciate. I chose to go with a classic BLT bean Salad. Noting too fancy or special.

Once I finished, I headed into the living room and plopped down onto the couch, turning on an episode of The Vampire Diaries.

Somewhere within the episode I must've fell asleep, as I'm startled by the loud sound of my phone ringing. Frantically picking it up, it was Liz.

"hi y/n!"

"h-hey!" I respond, quickly putting on my glasses.

"are you alright?"

"yeah, just was watching a scary movie." Completely lying.

"oh okay. well, i wanted to let you know im on my way now to pick you up."

Ohh fuck.

"o-okay! i gotta go Liz, I'll see you once you get here."

"bye!"

Damn it, I couldn't be late for this.

Rushing up the stairs, I ran inside my room and searched for the perfect outfit. My anxiety was taking over me, I was not good at choosing them for special occasions. 

After going through 100 outfits, I went with a white blouse and mom jeans along with a brown handbag. Perfect.

Putting my hair into a bun, I hear my doorbell ring. After applying some chapstick, I swiftly went downstairs, opening the door for an absolute angel. She wasn' wearing anything fancy, but Liz always managed to pull off anything. "I-wow-" Stuttering, as usual.

"Wow, yourself." She responds with a laugh.

We both exchange kisses and Liz takes my hand, leading me to the car. Once I finished helping her in, I anxiously got in. Nervous would be to say the least, I was extremely tense and Liz definitely noticed.

She places a hand on my thigh. "What's wrong, darling?

"Everything. What if they dont like me? What if I say the wrong thing?I was rambling like crazy.

"Hey. calm down, alright? She'll love you, just be yourself. I talk about you all the time and she knows how happy you make me. Alright?"

Gently nodding, "Okay."

After a long singing competition and multiple conversations, we'd finally arrived outside of a house. It was very nice, there were plants everywhere and had a nice homey feel to it. Before I could get out of the car, I see both the twins running outside to us. "Y/NN, LIZZIE!"

A big cheeky grin appeared on my face, I hadn't seen them in a while so I was super excited. They both pull me into a hug, which I joyfully accepted.

We all walked up to the door, I tried to take Liz's hand a few times, but she never accepted it. I can't lie, I was a bit upset about it, but I chose to ignore it. Once at the doorstep, I see an older couple make their way over to greet us.

They both go to hug Liz, conversating for a little before they turn their attention to me. "And who might this be?" The woman asked with a warm smile. "Im Y/n, Liz's gir-" Before I could answer, I was cut of by Liz. "My friend."
