Thanks Giving and DRAMAALERT

Yes I went Ohio for Thanksgiving. No, Logan and Jake didn't come because we weren't "celebrating" it. So I went with Alissa and Ricky.

I was bored on our flight and attempted to call Rice but I already knew he's heading to London. I sighed and asks for peanuts from the attendant lady. I slouched back and shut my eyes.

"Wake up we're here y/n!" Alissa had shook me awake.

I smiled at her even though I felt grumpy from losing sleep.

We were greeted by Alissa's family. I turned towards Banks and I could tell that he was nervous about their approval. We climbed into the van and put on some Christmas carols even though it was November. I tried texting Logan but he didn't reply fast so I was stuck with them. Not a bad thing though.

They had gave us a tour of Cleveland and then we had went to their house. I called rice as I gathered my thing to take a quick shower.

"hey" I said.

"hey y/n" he had said.

"what are you up to" I asked him.

"I'm going to spend time with the family." It sounded as he was shifting positions to become comfortable.

"tell your mom I said hi." I smiled a bit.

"will do. I've missed your voice." He chuckled softly.

"Me too. I wished you came with us." But I knew he had a family of his own.

"its hard knowing that you're across the country."

"I have to go take a shower." I said

"the I'll leave you to it." He stated.

"Bryan I love you." I stared at my shoes, hoping he'd repeat the same words.

" I love you as well."

I hanged up and I was happy. I knew it be a great vacation. However I spoke too soon.

Suddenly, Maria, one of Alissa's friend had invited us to go to the barley house bar. We had drunk a few shots but not enough to call us drunk. We were about to leave the place but we needed to use the restroom. Everything happened so quick.

Alissa got assaulted. Ricky had broke his fingers. If it weren't for him I'd be in a hospital bed too because I was recording. I was shocked and scared. Never in my life I met up with this.

The good side was that Ricky had been approved by Alissa's family.

I called Bryan because I needed someone to talk to.

I dialed his number and waited for the love of my life.

A few minutes he had picked up.

"hello?" I greeted because he hasn't spoke yet.

"who is this?" A feminine voice had asked.

I hanged up.

Was he with another girl? Maybe that's a female friend using his phone. But why didn't he answer he is always attached to it.

I packed my things and left Alissa's house.

Alot was going on and I didn't want to be such a burden. My hometown isn't that far from Cleveland. I walked on the curb until I saw a park. I sat and the swings.

I shouldn't have gotten attached. Now look at me. Heartbroken.

I called an uber and waited for a few minutes.

A black Honda civic had pulled up with an uber sticker on the window shield.

The tall fellow in black slacks and a white shirt had opened the door to let me in.

I buckled my seatbelt and sat back.

"Now miss, where would you like to go." He asked

I wanted to go where it all started. Logan's, Jake's, and my career had begun.

"Home"
