It's Always Been You (Issac Garcia)

10; Promise

Alyssa pov
It is getting closer to Thanksgiving. I don't really know how to feel. Normally I love it but it's the first Thanksgiving without my parents and sister. Issac's been helping me through it.I talk to him about this type of stuff all the time. My outfit today is a light blue t shirt with my white nike hoodie and my black cargo pants. I put a ponytail braid in and put mascara and lipgloss on. I'm eating breakfast and sitting next to Lee, Jordan, and Parker. Issac soon comes down and grabs a plate.

"Hey Issac you might want to swap out the leather and get a warmer coat. It's an 80 percent chance of snow guys" George says.

"Sometimes you got to sacrifice comfort for style. Like this leather jacket say tough chill smooth. You get it." Issacs says as he walks over to me at the table. I give him a weird looks and he ignores me and kisses me on the head when no one's looking.

"Well frostbite also says tough chill and smooth. Get it." George then says back. I laugh and Issac just glares at me.

"Did you hear back from on our dad? Do you know what time he's calling tomorrow"  Lee asks. Issac tells me Lee has been waiting for this call from their dad for a while.

"Yeah around 11 o'clock" George replies.

"Hey girls do you want to make anything for tomorrow. Around here everyone makes one dish and then we add to the the Thanksgiving meal." Katherine says trying to include us. I was about to answer until Jordan and Parker started fighting over who was making yams.

"What are you doing?" Issac asks as Lee fiddles with his watch.

"I'm setting my alarm," Lee says. Issac gives him a weird look.

"Well, I make two turkeys. Obviously, " George says, and let's out a chuckle.

"So, are there any Howard family traditions I can go pick up the ingredients?" Katherine offers.

"Yeah, pick your favorite thing," George buds in.

"Uh, could you pick up things for an apple pie?" I say. I loved my mom's apple pie it was the best.

"Yeah, of course, honey. What about you, Jackie? "

"It's ok. I'll pass. If that's ok." Jackie says and then leaves. George and Katherine whisper something, but I can't her them. I know this is our first Thanksgiving away from New York but she got to stop being the fucking Grinch of Thanksgiving. I sigh and continue eating.

"Can I help with your apple pie? Since i can't do yams, " Jordan offers as he sticks his tongue out at Parker.

"Yeah sure but you can't leak the the secret Howard recipe. Got it" I say as I hold out my pinky. He nods and then we pinky promise. We then got to school. It's the last day before break so we basically do nothing. After school I go to the lark so I can check up on Jack.

"Hey Haylee can I get a green tea and a chocolate chip cookie" I ask.

"Oh hey Alyssa yes I got it for you. No Issac today" she asks as she walks around to get my order. I shake my head as I grab my wallet to giver her the money.

"No I just thought I'd stop by to check on Jackie" I say as she hands me my food while I hand her the money.

"Well that's nice of you. I'll see you tomorrow at the Walter's." She says as I walk away. I wave at Jackie and walk towards the table. I talk with her for a minute before I leave.
*time skip to morning of Thanksgiving*

Today is the big day Thanksgiving. I got up a little late cause Issac snoozed my alarm. I decided to wear a dark blue raumper  which had flowers all over it. I took a shower this morning, and now my hair is still wet. I decided to leave it natural and put a little coconut oil in it. I put my fuzzy blue and white socks that have snowmen on them. They are literally my favorite. No mascara or anything besides some chapstick and lip oil. I go downstairs, and everyone is running around the kitchen.
