THE THOMPSON RESIDENCE WAS NEARLY UNRECOGNIZABLE AFTER THE NEW YEAR. THE GLICK FAMILY HAD REALLY GOTTEN TO THEM THAT NIGHT. THE NIGHT WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED. Footballs were put in storage in exchange for textbooks borrowed from the library, notebooks and papers scattered all over the floors. Rosie was barely seen, working overtime to keep face and show dedication to both her children and her job. The house, despite the aforementioned school supplies strewn about, was spotless, always clean and organized.
It was terrifying to see just how willing the family was to change in an effort to keep Diana with them.
When she had returned that December night, the Glicks had already left. A bowl was broken and all three of them were crying. When she opened the door, Diana was bombarded by a hug from her godmother, begging her to never run out again.
Danny had given them an ultimatum. Prove that they were worthy of Diana or say goodbye forever. It had chilled the Thompsons to the bone, shocking them to the core. Evident by their change less than a month later.
A few days before school was to start up, Diana emerged from her room to grab some food. She nearly made it back to her room without getting caught when Flash opened his own door, looking shocked to see her.
"She lives," he joked faintly, leaning against his doorframe, "You wanna share those chips?"
She glanced down at the bag, before looking back up at him. "You wanna watch a romcom?"
"Ryan Gosling?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nah. 13 Going On 30 with Jennifer Garner? It's good and a little uncomfortable, you'll like it. Let me grab my laptop, grab some drinks."
He nodded, smiling, and headed over to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She stepped into her room and grabbed her laptop and charger, chips still in hand, walking back out and into Flash's room.
She stopped short, staring at his bed. They were filled with books and papers, there was barely room on the bed for him to sit, same went for the floor. His desk had most of the things that used to go on the floor, his chair covered with laundry he never put in his closet.
"It's vacation," she commented as she side stepped her, shoving things to one side of the room, carrying all the books from his bed and onto the floor in the corner
He nodded. "Perfect time to catch up, get ahead."
She shook her head, plugging in her laptop and sitting down. "You need this movie more than I do. Here, have some." She opened the bag and pulled up the movie.
"Jennifer Garner?" he asked, throwing a few chips into his mouth.
She nodded. "Yup. Mark Ruffalo, too. Remember the guy from those magician movies, Now You See Me?"
He nodded, eyes wide. "I remember him. Good actor, great guy. This a good movie?"
