Chapter 31

Claire's thanksgiving party was alright, I suppose. It was just like last year, but instead, her other family; the one who came to the reunion in Miami, showed up to the party, surprisingly. The most amazing thing about Claire's family parties are the food. The food ... Is something to die for! Once the cooking and baking are done, the table is decked out with deliciously goodness. The aroma filled the entire house and caused stomachs to growl instantly. The whole day consist of preparing and relaxing. I arrived to Claire's house after stopping by the hospital for a little awhile. Once I stepped in the house, I was immediately dragged to Claire's room to relax and talk, not wanting to help the others downstairs. Eventually though, we've been summoned and needed for help.

I wake up, feeling the heat of the sun, shinning through my window. Last night, I came home late and was too tired to close my blinds. Feeling groggy, I get off my bed, stretching as I do so. Walking to the bathroom, I turn on the shower, letting the cold water run for a second. I quickly brush my teeth and rinse off, not wanting to waste water from my shower. Checking the water by putting my hand in the shower, feeling the slightly cold water running, I discard my clothes, then hop in. After soaping and shampooing myself, I end my shower, grabbing a towel from the rack and wiping myself down. I step out of the shower, wrapping my towel around my waist, and head back into my bedroom. Deciding on wearing light clothing for the day, I take out a pair of cream-colored shorts and a white short-sleeve polo shirt. Putting on a pair of black and white striped boxer as I pull the towel off my waist. Then, I take my shorts and put it on, sliding it up my legs. Before I button my shorts, I put on my polo shirt, tucking it in my shorts. I walk back to the bathroom to style my hair with the many hair products that Claire got me when I had my haircut. After that, I head out.

I drive to the diner, deciding to grab breakfast there. I haven't visit or work there for couple of days, kind of missing all my co-workers and taking people's order. I've talked to my boss beforehand, letting her know that I'm going through something right now. I'm grateful that she gave me some time off from work.

I park my car right next to the entrance. Hearing a ring when I open the door, I walk in, smelling the mouthwatering aroma of food in the air.

"Scott!" I see Laura shriek as I walk in, look of joy on her face. I laugh, walking towards the counter.

"Hey, Laura. How are you?" I ask as I sit on one of the stool.

"I'm good. I miss you, buddy." She leans over the counter to wrap her arms around my neck, giving me a hug. I lean over as well, making it easier for her to give me a hug.

"I miss you too." After our hug, I ask for the breakfast platter with a cup of coffee, feeling my stomach grumble from the smell. She writes it down and putting on the note stand for the cooks. We talk for a little while as I wait for my food. She ask me if I'm handling things okay with Maddie, since I've told her and everyone else the week after Maddie's accident. We, then, talk about other things, like about how she found out that her current boyfriend is actually a dad of two kids. He didn't know that he had kids until his ex surprise visit him, letting him know, at his apartment. Laura found out the same day as he did, when she walks in, interrupting their conversation.

"Wow. What did you do when you saw them?" Intrigue to know more.

"His ex was shock to see me, like she doesn't expect him to be dating anyone." We hear a ding, seeing a plate on the window. Laura grabs it, then placing it in front of me. She takes the coffee pot and refilling my coffee. Then, she continues. "I got angry all of sudden. I started questioning him about her, since I've never heard anything about her." I dig into my food, still intriguingly listening to her story. "He tried to calm me down, explaining to me on who she is and that everything is not what it seems. She then smugly told me their conversation, telling me about her two adorable little girls who looks like their daddy."
