-------------------------
We're having a family dinner. The Styles are back. Two things I've been trying to ignore for the past three hours while getting ready. As you guys already know, family dinners are something I abhor with a passion. They usually begin smooth, no arguments, everyone's really polite and quiet, but then my dad always has some shit to say about my mom. He either comments on her weight or on her outfit, and thats it. All hell breaks loose.

I sigh and adjust Orions outfit. She actually picked it out herself and it doesn't look as bad as you think it would. She's got a grey sleeveless dress with a white peter pan collar top underneath. She looks so cute.

"Auntie lulu, can you please help me put my shoes on?" She asks, holding out her black Dr Martens. I grab the shoes and pick her up by the waist and carry her to the bed setting her down on top of it.

What if Harry didn't come with them? What if he stayed in England? There's a great chance that he probably did, right? I mean what am I supposed to say if I see him today? 'hi my names Lucia, you used to be my best friend and we also had feelings for each other.' I don't know who he is anymore. What are we going to talk about? I think I should probably stay home and avoid this crazy dinner.

"Liam!" I call for my brother. I call him twice and almost at the third time he rushes out of his room, adjusting his navy blue suit.

"What's up?"

"Listen, I don't feel good at all. I think I'm staying." I say nervously, scratching the back of my neck.

He shakes his head.

"We have to go." He picks Orion up before walking down the stairs. I groan.

I follow them towards the front door and as we wait for the elevator to come up I admire my outfit in the mirror. Nothing special, just some black high waisted skinny jeans, a black transparent long sleeved shirt with a black lace bralette underneath. I've got nude pointed stilettos and my black and nude Celine bag. My hair? We dont talk about it, we just don't.

"You look good, sis." Liam compliments me.

"Not so bad yourself." I pat his back, walking towards the car.

My heart is racing so fast. I swear, it will pop out of my chest and run towards the Hudson. I can't seem to control myself. I keep sighing and holding my breath for too long. I want to turn back around and climb on my bed, turn on the ac, and wrap myself in my blanket, but I can't. My dad is already mad at me for missing brunch and I don't want to get disowned any time soon. Plus, I promised myself to behave and ignore any negative comment towards me, and I have Zayn and Liam with me, how could this dinner possibly go wrong? Oh fuck, who am I kidding? This whole dinner thing is such a bad idea.

I get on the passenger seat as I wait for Liam to strap Orion on her seat. I look back at her and pucker up my lips, she does the same and I lean all the way back to give her a small peck. Liam gets into the drivers side, I put my seatbelt on and after he turns the car on we're out of our parking garage. My hands are sweaty, my heart is racing and I can't seem to stay put.

"Hey," Liam grabs my hand. "Chill, lulu, chill." I glare at him.

"Leave me alone." I narrow my eyes and cross my arms, leaning my head agains the window. The drive to my dad's apartment isn't particularly long, but there is a lot of traffic, to my luck. We pull up to the garage and Liam opens it up with the code. I look back at Orion who's been quiet the whole ride. She's fallen asleep with her thumb in her mouth. As soon as Liam parks, I get out of his car and walk to the backseat to get Orion.

"I'll take her to dads room." I assure Liam, he gives me a knowing look.

"What?" I whisper yell.
