Sick.

Chapter 12

Claire's POV:

It's the day before thanksgiving and I have to visit my family in New York. They were spending a vacation there. Just my mom and my brother. They decided to all celebrate for my brother coming back from his coma though. The rest of us are tagging along for thanksgiving. My parents, and my two siblings will be there. Jeffrey decided to tag along because he said, and I quote, "I don't have any shit to do".

I packed my bags and waited for Jeffrey. He was getting himself ready. I didn't do much since it was 3 in the morning. All I did was put on black leggings with a gray sweater and a beanie over my head.

*airport*

"Ready?" Jeffrey asked as we stepped out of the car. I nod and take his hand. We walk towards the main gate and get in the plane.

"I'm hungry." I whine.

"But you just ate two slices of pizza. Including mines." Jeffrey chuckled.

We settle down and the plane successfully made it to the air. I start to get nervous. My mom is fine, though it's simple between me and her. We rarely talk.

For my brother no problem. He's really cool to hangout with. I'm really excited to see my sister too.

On the other hand though, is my father. He looked down on me all the time, never appreciated anything I did. I showed him my love as his daughter, but all he did was push me away.

The only thing I'm glad of right now is that my mother promised me she would never forgive my dad. He did horrible things to all of us.

"You okay?" Jeffrey asked, snapping me out of thought.

"Y-yeah I'm fine." I stutter.

He puts his hand out to me and we intertwined our fingers together. I smile at myself and drift to sleep.

We head out the airport and into our rental car.

As Jeffrey drove, I broke the silence.

"What if something bad happens?" I whisper.

"What do you mean.." Jeffrey asked.

"Like, if we all get in a fight. I don't know how things would work out then. I told you how my father was and my mother. The promises we made. But still, I just feel like something bad is going to happen." I finish.

"Nothing bad will happen Claire. It's your family. Just keep cool." He smirked.

I smile and look down.

It took us about an hour to get into our hotel due to traffic. It was currently 2 in the afternoon.

We checked in and set down our stuff. I ran to the bed and plopped down facing the ceiling.

Jeffrey ran to me and attacked me with kisses.

"Jeffrey!" I giggle.

"What time is your dinner thingy?" He asked.

"Five. So we have 2-3 hours to get ready." I reply.

"Okay." He smiled, giving me small kisses down my neck.

"Why are you so happy?" I laugh.

"Because I get to spend some time with you. It's corny but whatever." He smiled, kissing my cheek.

I laughed and sit up.

All I did for tonight was curled my hair and pinned my bangs to the side. I slipped on a tight black dress ending above my knees.
