Red Flag

Chapter 4

" 🎶 I don't wanna miss out on the holidays🎶 " shouted Gallo surprisingly on key

"🎶holidaaayyyys🎶" sang Cruz and Ryan, the man right next to Gallo and the girl on the other end of the call.

"🎶but I can't stop staring at your face🎶" the blue eyed boy laugh as Casey walked by with a confused look

"🎶at your faaaceee🎶" Ryan snort laughed once she saw Matt's face, who was now standing behind Gallo and Cruz.

"Why Bieber, out of all of the Christmas songs, why the Bieber one?" The blonde man asked with a facepalm.

"You gotta support the Biebs dude!" Ryan said proudly, to which Casey shook his head in disappointment.

"OoOoh Ryry, you're under the mistletoe" Cruz joked wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Of course baebae!" She yelled at him before blowing both him and Gallo many kisses.

"Okay Ryan, we gotta go. I'm picking you up at the airport in a few days, love ya!" Gallo told her with a big smile.

"Kay bubba, I got y'all christmas gifts" she winked at Gallo.

"YEEESSS!!!! I filled up your stocking with much love" Gallo exclaimed.

"What'd you get Gallo, a dildo?" Cruz asked making the younger man turn to him with an indignated gasp.

"They're called toys now Cruz, educate yourself" he told his friend with a cocky smile.

"Okay ladies, my favorite duckling is quaking. Gotta go" she spoke loudly over their silly argument.

"Kay, bye Ryan...ooh, bye Evans!!" The boy leaned over to see the girl's family.

Ryan lifted the phone so they could see them all sat at the table playing Uno.

"Bye, Gallo merry Christmas guys!!" Her parents waved at both Cruz and Gallo and just then most of the squad peaked into Cruz's phone to mock Ryan.

"Merry Christmas Evans clan!" Seaverite said cheerfully "give Matty a big smuch from me Ryry" the gray haired man said batting his eyelashes at the black haired girl.

"Shut up, Kelly" she let out with a  disgusted expression.

"Ha!!" Gallo laughed in Kelly's face only to earn a glare.

"Bye guys!" She said quickly and hung up. "Uhg...I love those guys but they. Are. Draining." She turned to her family, Sebastian chuckled from his seat.

"Hey, hurry up freckles. I've been playing for you for 5 rounds now" her father said playing her cards and then his.

"Shh shh shu-shush-shush-shush!! Just 5 more minutes" she excused herself covering the screen with her hand at her dad's indignated face "one more call, it's uh...Jazmine, from back home in Chicago" she spoke quickly while walking sideways towards the stairs. "You don't know her." She said, her head popping back out before everyone turned back to the game. Ryan's quick footsteps filling the awkward silence.

Mackenzie blinked at her husband as the rest of her children focused on their cards.

"Y'all saw it was Matt too, right?" Sawyer asked her siblings before putting down a card.

"Yup, it's him" Ben nodded, playing his own card.

"Who's even called Jazmine these days?" Peyton made a 'pshhh' sound with her mouth before skipping Nick with her special card.

"We're gonna be spending next Christmas in Ohio, I'm telling ya. Be prepared" the blonde-ish boy patted his dad's back with a sad smile.

"Matt's not the funny one from that beach show she likes, right Joe?" Mackenzie asked her eldest son.
