Under the Moonlight

Chapter 32

"I can't run anymore" I barely spoke. I was barely breathing. I was tired and I wasn't feeling my legs. I thought I would die. We were running with Taylor in the woods. We started with the training and the first thing on the list was jogging. 
"A bit more" he said still running in front of me. Of course he wasn't tired. 
"I am gonna pass out. I can't" I said still breathing fast and barely running. 
"okay" he gave up and stopped. "Let's get back" he said after he turned around and looked at me. 
I was so sweaty and tired. I was real mess. 
"I need to take a breath first. I can't walk immediately." I said as I leaned with my hands on my knees and looked at the ground. In one moment I looked up and I saw Taylor looking at me, smiling. 
"It's not funny. I am really tired" I said seriously. 
In that moment he got closer to me and kissed me. 

"Is it now better" he asked with a smirk on his face. 

"I don't know" I said smiling. "try again" I said and he kissed me again. 
We end up making out on the ground in the middle of the woods. 

We got back at the house. Isaac and Jess were sitting in front of it. They were close to each other and smiled. They looked cute and happy.
"Well you are finally done. I thought you'll never get back" Isaac said laughing. "it looks like you like jogging together" he added, still with a laugh on his face.
"Of course." I said seriously. I knew he was just messing with us.
I got in Taylor's room to take a shower and change my clothes. After I was ready I went downstairs. I saw Maria and Nate making out on the stairs. They weren't there when I got back from jogging. They probably came after I went to take a shower.  
"Can I take a picture of you or?" I asked and they both looked at me. I laughed and just passed between them and made my way toward the front door. "sorry for interrupting though" I said before getting out of the house. 
This time Jackson and Chuck were there too. They were all sitting in front of the house. Taylor was shirtless and I just looked away from him as I joined them. 
"What are we doing today?" Jackson asked and looked at Taylor.
"Practicing" Taylor said. "We'll just wait for the others." He added. The people in Jess's pack weren't there yet.
"I am done for today. I can't even move, so I'll just go home and sleep like forever" I said "but I also can't sleep because I need to help for Thanksgiving dinner." I said. In one moment I totally forgot it was Thanksgiving.
"Go then. See you later" Taylor said as he got closer to me and gave me a short kiss on the lips. I got in my car and made my way toward home.
I arrived in front of the house and decided to text Nate before getting into the house.
To Nate
It would be nice to have some help from you for the first time on Thanksgiving. Come home.
Nate was always not at home for thanksgiving. He was always somewhere with his friends. He was actually avoiding it. Since his dad died he didn't want to celebrate this kind of celebrations. He was always somewhere else but his family.

From Nate
I'll be home in an hour.

I wasn't sure he would come home even when I read the text. He was always kinda lying to us that he was coming and later he wouldn't show up. But this year I thought it could be different. I had faith in him.

When I got home everyone were in the house, doing something. Mum and aunt were cooking and making an amazing dishes. Dad was setting up the table. Philip like always was doing nothing. He was laying on the sofa, watching TV and waiting for the dinner. 

"Hello family" I yelled happily. I tried to be as much happy and smiled as I could. I was successful though. 
"Hello honey" my mum smiled at me as she was carrying on the the pies and put it on the table. 
"What can I help?" I asked them.
