Its been a while in school, it's Thanksgiving Break! Yay! Well, Jaslyn came out to me and Trinity as.. Lesbian. I kinda took that hard. I mean.. Jaslyn and I act like we're dating each other. I don't want anyone getting any ideas!.. I'm straight. I.. I think..?
Yeah. I'm straight. Well this Thanksgiving, Gabriel, Angel, Trinity, Jaslyn and I are going to get two hotel rooms. Stay there for the whole break! I cant wait to spend it with them. I ju- I DIDN'T PACK. OH MY GOD. I NEED TO GET STARTED. I threw stuff into a large duffle bag, yelling at myself. My mother entered my room and stood in the door way, "We'll miss you at the reunion, Payton."
"Mom, I know. But there's no talking me out of this!" I stated, as I threw my makeup into my huge duffel bag.
"Payton, why do you like hanging out with your friends so much? You're always on your phone anyways. Do you not like us, your family? What did we ever do? Something wrong, hunny?" My mom rambled on and on. I just kept packing, checking things off my list.
Phone - check.
Makeup - check.
Charging gear - check.
Clothing for each day, two extra just in case - check.
Hair appliances - check.
Health products - check.
Two books - check.
Blanket - check.
And, a pillow - check.
That's it for everything! I zipped up my bag, just as I heard the door bell ring.
"That's my ride, bye mom. Love you, I guess.." I mumbled and walked pass her with my things. I opened the door and it was Jaslyn. I smiled brightly as she took my bag for me. She gently put in her moms car trunk. Then she opened the door for me. I gladly got in and buckled up. She sat besides me, not saying a word. I look at her, in confusion.
"Jaslyn.. what's wrong, hunny?" I whispered to her.
"My mom doesn't trust me with you and Trinity in the same room as me.." She whispered back.
"Oh my god.. Jaslyn!" I hugged her.
"Nothing will happen and I know that. You're our best friend." I whispered gently.
"I know. But she just doesn't..!" She replied softly.
"We'll talk later about this.." I stated, being the motherly figure. She nodded. The rest of the car trip was complete silence.

We got to the hotel and took our luggage to the room. I flopped down onto the right bed.
"I call dibs on this one!" I shouted as Trinity and Jaslyn entered the room.
"That's not fair! We weren't even in here!" Trinity cried.
"I'll take the couch Trin." Jaslyn told her. I frowned.
"Jaslyn, its your vacation too. In fact, you're the one who payed for our room!" I said, angered.
"Then either share with me, or let me die.. alone.. on the couch.." She replied, dramatically. Trinity and I laughed so hard that Trinity started snorting.
"Ok! I'll share with you!" I told Jaslyn. She smirked, deviously.
"Great." She replied. We all started to unpack. I got finished first, I had everything where I needed it to be. Then the guys bursted in.
"Heyo!" Gabriel shouted and grabbed Trinity by the waist. He smirked and let go.
"Hi people." My small little boy said.
"Aw. Hi Angle. Come here baby." Jaslyn chirped. He walked to Jaslyn, she gave him a huge hug. Almost squeezing the breath out of him.
"Air! Mom, air!" Angle managed to squeal. I looked at everyone in the room.
"Maybe, Trin and Gabe should room. Then Angle, Jaslyn and I, could take this room. I mean. Look at those love birds!~" I sang. Jaslyn and Angle nodded.
"Fine. But nothing is happening between me and him!" Trinity stated.
"Yeah, totally." Angle joked. Jaslyn gently hit his back. He chuckled and went to pack his things, switching rooms. Gabriel, Angle, and Trinity were in the other room. Me and Jaslyn were packing some of Trinity's things. The thing I didn't expect was the talk that me and her had.
"You said, 'talk later' in the car earlier. What's to talk about?" Jaslyn asked, sweetly, the words rolling of her lips so lightly.
"Jaslyn.. how did you figure out your lesbian?"
"I just never was sexually attracted to boys. I am to girls. I don't know why. But I am."
"What would I be if I told you, I don't care about gender. I'm attracted to all. I fall in love with their personality."
"Well, you'd be pansexual." She told me.
"Oh.. then.. I'm pansexual, Jaslyn."
"Really?" She questioned.
"Yeah, and there's more.."
"What is it?"
"I have fallen head over heels for you." I told her, proudly and fiercely.
"Oh, Payton.." She replied, a small, gentle smile came across her face. Right in that moment, her eyes sparkled the brightest they ever had in years. She became closer, and closer. The next thing I knew, her soft, tasteful lips were placed against mine, just like a puzzle piece. She pulled away, after a couple of seconds.. or minutes. I can't tell.. time flies when she's with me.
"Payton, I've felt the same way, since junior high." She whispered gently. I smiled and combed my fingers threw her hair.
"I would've never guessed." I teased her.
"Payton, shut up and be my girlfriend already." She joked. I nodded.

The next day, I woke up before Jaslyn and Angle. I got out of bed, carefully, trying not to wake the beauty in it. I got dressed, quietly. I did my makeup. Then went to wake my loves up. I walked to Angles side and gently rubbed his back.
"Psst. Angle.. morning babes." I whispered gently. He rose, awakening, yawning and stretching ever so slightly. I smiled and kissed his forehead.
"Get ready, there's free breakfast downstairs." I told him. That changed everything, soundly Angle was out of bed and ready to go. I told him to go on with out me and Jaslyn.
I was on her side of the bed and patted her back carefully.
"Morning, babygirl." I whispered, sweetly. She groaned, not wanting to get up.
"There's breakfast downstairs, Angles already down there." She shot up and threw the blankets to my side. She sat in front of me, I smiled and combed her hair back gently, behind her ear.
"Breakfast? Why aren't you eating down there with him?" She asked, still with sleepiness in her voice.
"I wanted to make sure my babes, is awake and ok before I went." I replied. She smiled and pressed her gentle lips onto mine. I pulled away.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Morning breathe baby." I replied, giggling in my tone of voice.
"Oh! I'm sorry, babe." She laughed and got up.
"I'll be downstairs with our child, love." I told her as she pulled off her shirt.
"Ok. I'll be there once I get done." I nodded and closed the door quietly. Walking downstairs to the breakfast. I saw, Trinity and Angle. But no Gabriel in sight. I got to the table and asked,"Where the hell is Gabriel?!"
