Moving from England to America, moving in with your cousin Devin and his family and a complete new lifestyle is tough and extremly exciting at the same time as you havent seen your friends and family in years.But will moving back be the best option ?
I wake early at 7 am. Feeling much better. I remember today is the day i finally get to speak to Kevin after many years. Butterflies swirl in my stomach. A smile forms on my face. "Today will be a good day," I tell myself. I hear breathing which startles me and i look to my right and see Devin sleeping. His hand is under his pillow and he looks like a baby. I grab my phone and quickly take a picture of him and laugh. The urge was real. And i couldn't resist it. I squeezed his cheeks forcefully causing him to moan. "What are you doing" He says. I giggle. He continues"Someones in a happy mood aren't they" he smiles, rubbing his eyes. "Yep I'm gizzy AF" while winking at him. He laughs and lies his head back onto his pillow.

I pull his arm, "Devin wake up we gotta get up, lets make breakfast together for the fam". "5 more mins ma it's so early." He moans. "I don't care pleaseeeeee dev ". I yank his body out of the covers and make him follow me to the kitchen. He sits down on the table, really tired. "Dev, you no were making pancakes, your fav right". His eyes light up immediately and a smile beams of his face.
We wash our hands and We begin cooking i make the batter and the presentation of the end result and Devins on cooking duty. We lay out all the ingredients on the surface area making sure we cleaned it first. Then I begin adding the ingredients with devins help as he wanted to join in as well. Devin pours the mixture into a pan and begins to cook it. I make a full English for the family so they can get the British vibes. And definitely not forgetting the tea.
Devin laughs loudly. "Why you laughing, Devina". His face drops. "Don't you ever call me that again"He frowns. "And that's gonna taste nasty altogether." "Okay, If it takes nasty imma buy you summit but if it tastes good u gotta buy me somethin. DEAL!". We shake hands. and continue making the food.A smirk creeps onto my face because i knew he will loose. i begin thinking about clothes that I'd like him to buy me, or shoes, a handbag, or perfume.
______30mins later_____
Devin and I finish laying the table and before we realized the Gordon family was standing at the door. They looked so happy looking at the food and they all ran to the table and sat down immediately.

"So, i tried incorporating a British vibe in the breakfast with the full English and tea so we hope you enjoy it"I tell them and they dive into their plates. I begin eating my pancakes as my mouth was watering due to the delicious aromas that surrounded the air. I sipped my tea and my attention was caught in devins direction. His plate had no food on it and it was as if he licked it clean. I couldn't help myself and i burst out laughing causing droplets of tea to escape my mouth. Devin definitely knew why i was laughing and he looked at his plate and his face was very guilty. "Hmmmmm..... Dev i guess it doesn't taste nasty then". I say as i gasp for air. Lexi and Jazzy laugh as well.
"Hey Lex is there a chance that you could take me and Dev to town?" I ask while clearing up the table. "Yh sure why? Is everything okay?". She asks. "Yh everythings good i think it's time to speak to Kev cuz anything could happen tomoz and he won't understand why i did wat i did and plus i miss him sooooo much". "Yh i need to get somethings aswell, cuz have u seen jazzy's wardrobe." Pulling a funny face. (Dont mind the logo at the top).

I laugh loudly. After I'm done I run to my room to take quick shower and to get changed."UGGHHH I only have winter clothes because England is so cold" i think. I spray perfume on myself Beyonce heat obviously. I walk into Devins room. "You have got to be joking" He looks at me confused and then realizes why i said it.

"I know you love me a lot dev and i 100% respect that but still matching colors is a lil to much" I say to him . "Excuse me i think its the other way round and respect your elders, as there always right" He says walking out of his room. I follow him, rolling my eyes. We meet Lexi and jazzy at the door and we walk to the car. The journey wasn't that long which was good. When we got to the mall and we arranged to meet each other at the car at 1pm as it was currently 9am. I kiss Jazzy and Lex goodbye and me and Devin walk away.
I explore the mall closely, "Bloody hell everything changed!!" I say out loud. me and devin walk around the mall for hrs and hrs until we both got hungry. We go to the food court and Devin orders at chipotle while i order at subway.
I was about to pay when a hand was put in front of me and paid for my meal. "Hey you don't have to do that uno" I say while looking around to the owner of the hand. Our eyes meet and we look at each other until i pull myself away from the stares. i insisted on paying but he wouldn't allow me to so i had to just keep it and leave it as the rest of the line was getting annoyed. I grab my food and say my thanks to him . I sit down at a table and search for Devin but i couldnt find him. I begin to eat my subway until i was interrupted. I look up to see the same guy at the subway line, in front of me. "Hey again" i say. "Hey, your accent is soo beautiful", "Thank you" I blush. "Im Josh" He greets me with his hand. I open my mouth to reply but i was rudely interrupted once again. "And I'm Devin, its great that were playing the name game ,now bye." He waves him goodbye.
I shrug. "What was that for Devin" I say annoyed af. "Why is he asking you for your name, your too young to have a boyfriend, i aint lettin my lil sis get hurt by a fuck boy like that."
I reply"Devin he asked for my name not my number or address and i get that your protective but come on I'm a year younger than you that's it". He says back" I don't care end of story eat your food and were gotta head outta here if you wanna see Kev". I had totally forgo and i begin to feel anxious but i push it at the back of my mind.
We finish eating and begin walking back to lexis car. We get in and we were about to get home when i said" Hey lex can you drop me of to Kevins". I knew i had to say it sooner or later as during the car ride Devin kept nudging me to say it. Lexi nodds her head and 5 mins later we are outside Kevins house. It hadn't changed a bit. I begin to feel my anxiety increasing and my stomach making me feel sick. I get out the car and look back. "You just gotta text okay and imma be down yh" The words Devin speaks comforts me but still I'm left feeling like crap and worrid. "Thanks". i say quietly.
I walk up to the door of the house. Memories flooded my mind. I knocked several times but there was no answer. However, the door was unlocked. I walk inside the house and my breathing became uneasy every step i took. My throat felt extremely dry and it was if there was a golf ball lying inside of it. It was as if nobody was at home. until i am able to hear sobs. I follow the sound and i end up outside of Kevins room. Apart of me wanted to just run back home and try tomorrow but another screamed OPEN THE DOOR. I gather enough courage to place my hand on the handle and before i could stop. My hand turned it and the door opens ..............
