A Family Reunion

Coming Home

You'll see why i chose this in a second

Y/N's POV

I've been preparing for this moment my whole life: walking across the stage and getting my Master's in fashion design. And here it is. "Y/N Pearce," I walk up to the stage as my name is called. I look over to see my brother, Roman, and his best friend, Brian, cheering for me. When I get off the stage, I run over to them.

"When did you guys get here?" I asked, excited to see my brother and Brian.

"Just a few hours ago," Roman says, while Brian nods in agreement.

"So, since you have your degree, when are you moving back to LA?" Brian asks with a big smile. When we were younger we were almost always together. Whenever Roman was in a good mood he would invite me to hang out with him and Brian.

"I'm not sure, I kinda want to stay out here for a while," I say.

"I think you should stay out here, it's nice," Roman says in agreement.

"Umm, okay, well, I've missed you guys, but I'm going to dinner with my friends," I say.

"Oh, that's okay. We weren't planning on staying long. Brian has to get back to his kids," Roman says casually.

"Brian has kids? You know what, text me about it later. I gotta go. Bye, I love you guys," I say, running to get in my friend's car. 

2 hours later

I came back to my studio apartment after dinner. I could stop thinking about how Roman didn't want me moving back. Like my own brother doesn't want me to come back home. I take a shot. I look at the glass. It's the shot glass Brian got me for my 21st birthday. I sit on my couch and turn on Bluey. Yes its a kids show but some of the episodes have deeper meanings behind them. Plus I just like the show. BzzZz. I look at my phone to see that my brother sent me pictures of Brian's wife and kids. They look happy. Brian had kids and I didn't even know. I had to go back home. I had to go meet my new niece and nephew. I run down to my room and start packing. As I'm packing I think about if I should tell my brother. I end up deciding not to tell him. I book my plane ticket to LA for tomorrow and hop into my bed.

I wake up at 2am and call my friend to come house sit while I'm away. I hop in the shower then get changed.

After I get dressed I do my hair and makeup. Once I'm done, I grab my suitcases and walk out of my apartment and lock the door. As I'm walking out of my apartment building I call an Uber. I get out of the car and take the long journey that is getting on a plane. Once I'm on the plane I take a nap.

When I get into the cab I look at the time. 5:00 am I read off my phone. I scroll through Instagram so I don't get bored in the car. The car stops and I get out of the car. I stand outside of the house where Roman's location said he was. I go up to the door and turn the handle. To my surprise the door is locked, Roman would forget to lock doors a lot. I knock on the door, my brother opens the door and looks at me confused. I push past him and yell "Daddy's Home".

Well that was really long but I really wanted her to say that. I hope you enjoy this. And don't expect me to write a chapter this long ever again (641 words). XO, Andi
