Jadyn's POV

      The days passed so fast I wished it would have been slower-paced. After the first day of being here and the lunch plus shopping Caitlyn saw that once my mother had something in mind she kept to it. My mother showed this by taking Caitlyn, Madison, and myself to many different places. Pedicures,  manicures, more shopping, food shopping, school shopping, movies, plays, concerts, attractions, Disneyland, etc. Caitlyn also learned the way around my house after the first day and now our days were crammed with so many items it was crazy. The girls in the house we were up by six, out the door by eight and made it back around ten at night. And that was hopefully making it back at ten. Sometimes my brothers or father joined us but that was rarely since they had been preparing the house for Thanksgiving. When we returned home from doing whatever we had been doing I was asleep before a minute passed. I was that tired.

        As the days passed the homesickness came from London. Surprisingly I missed the familiarity of my little apartment, the stupid meow of Caitlyn's kitten, my car (I loved it better than the SUV), the hectic schedule of my school and homework, and every little thing in between. I also realized I missed Harry too, but of course he was with Sarah who I learnt from Caitlyn that nobody approved of their relationship. Like I cared...That was an understatement, I always thought of him. I mean I could not go into Madison's room, it was full of One Direction crap. I walked in once, walked right back out and spent the rest of the day eating chocolate ice-cream and cursing out everybody in every love story.

          Now it was the day of Thanksgiving and that always meant diaster with a capital D-I-A-S-T-E-R. Both of my grandmothers hated each other, and then all of my male cousins and brothers liked to talk about who was best which just made it worse. My mother didn't like talking to my dad's sister Jane because Jane wasn't the nicest person in the book and Sarah, one of my girl cousins had an eating disorder and rarely ate anything. Everything always happened over Thanksgiving dinner which was happening now.

            "Come on everybody! Time for supper!" my mother called as my siblings, Caitlyn, and I headed from our game room while the rest of my family headed from our living room to the dining room.

"Wow! Look at everybody!" my Nana (mom's mother) said hugging my siblings and I before looking at Caitlyn. "Hello, are you Adam or Alec's girlfriend?" Nana asked her.

"No Nana, this is my friend Caitlyn, she is from England," I told her as my Nana smiled.

"It is lovely to meet you," Caitlyn said as Nana smiled wider.

"Look at you! A cute little accent and I love your outfit," she said pulling Caitlyn in for a hug. "Any friend of Jadyn's is a friend of mine. I mean welcome to the family honey! You fit in perfectly! You can call me Nana," my Nana added as Caitlyn looked shocked but hugged her back lightly.

"Thank you...Nana," Caitlyn said as Nana released her.

"Oh! I love your accent!" Nana said squeezing Caitlyn's arm before my mom clapped her hands.

"Alright everybody! Sit down! It is lovely to have all of you here!" she said sitting at one end of the table while everybody went to their seats.

I sat between Madison and Caitlyn, Caitlyn on my left and Madison on my right. Sarah, cousin, sat across from me, while her sister Savannah sat on her left. Her mother sat on her right and looked at me in slight disgust.

"It looks like you have gotten a little more weight than the last time I saw you Jadyn," Aunt Jane told me as I patted my hair.

"Well I haven't, must be the muslces I have made, I mean who would want to be a little stick figure?" I asked sweetly shovingly a bite of mashed potatoes into my mouth smilingly at my favorite aunt...sarcasm.
