Chapter 20 Trip part 2

Trigger warning: mention of abuse

---Melody's pov (November 22nd)---

"Is that my two favourite people in the whole world" Naomi shouted after opening the front door. She then engulfed me and Zeke into a tight hug. We both hug back and ignore the chuckled from the four idiots behind us.

Naomi was a hugger. She had been when we first met her. I had been with my Dad at IKEA cause Zeke broke his bed and needed a new one (to this day I never knew how he broke it but I could give a good guess how).

Naomi was there with a younger Zak who was being a pain to her cause he was energetic and running off. Zak also needed to get a new bed. We didn't meet each other at first in IKEA. It wasn't until Sonic crashed into me and we both fell onto the floor. I screamed and shout at Zak which he retaliated with his own cursed words.

Naomi had immediately asked if I was ok while my dad was more focused on Zak who was going red in the face due to him shouting. When they both realised we were fine they both appologised to each other before dragging us away from each other.

We didn't meet them again till a month later when me, Dad and Zeke went to a cafe. For some reason my Dad offered to keep a eye on Zak while Naomi worked and she said "yes thank you". We were at the cafe for eight hours. They became good friends after and it wasn't long after till I caught them making out new years eve.

"I'm so grateful you both decided to visit. It's a shame George couldn't come"

"If you ask me George is lucky to get out of this" I mumbled before glancing at the four boys that just stood their. Michael then smiled before hugging Naomi. She seemed a bit shocked but eventually hugged back.

"Thank you Mrs Thompson for giving birth to my new best friend Melody"

I just groaned. I had forgotten to tell Michael, Luke and Calum that Naomi wasn't my Mum.

"You seemed to have changed your hair colour since the last time we saw you at the resturant"

"Ah you met Lilly. My name is Naomi. I'm technically Zeke and Melodys step Mum and Zaks-"

"MICHAEL CALUM" Zak cried running at them both with a massive smile on his face before hugging them.

"Is Dad still working" I asked turning ti Naomi as we watched the three of them hug and talk to each other. Luke eventually joined in with them.

"I made sure your father didn't go to the office today. Hes in the kitchen doing his work. So what are your new friends names" Naomi asked turning to Zeke. I then chuckled before grabbing Ashtons hand and leading him into the place I used to call home.

"Tell the others to watch their heads" I quickly asked as Ashton nodded turning around. I just looked around the small house.

The wooden shoe rack was still near the door but it had acquired a sign written in Naomi's hand writing. "Guests take off your shoes please" was written in different colours. The coat hangers were replaced with pcitures of trips we went on.

"You went to france twice" Ashton asked noticing what I was looking at. I just nodded before taking my shoes off. Ashton then followed suit as he looked at more photos.

"Who are these two" He questioned pointing. I glanced at the pciture and smiled at him.

"That is Aunt Julia, my Dads sister and her wife Aunt Katie" I pointed out before picking up the pciture. It was from one of my Nana's parties. I then pointed at one of my many cousins.

"That's their son Adrien" I muttered. I was trying hard not to cry or to break down in tears. Adrien was my favourite cousin.

"Are you ok" Ashton asked wrapping a arm around me. I quickly nodded before hanging the photo back onto the wall. I then forced a smile before turning to Ashton.
