I was super excited about flying back to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving, but boy was it hard to keep a secret. He'd randomly FaceTime me while I was packing, so I just told him I was going to see family in North Carolina. Although, I am surprised he couldn't tell I was lying.

We were just about to board the plane when of course I get a call from Brady.
Incoming Call
"Hello?"
"Oh hey G, I figured you were gonna fly soon and I just wanted to say to fly safe since you probably won't be able to talk as much when you're having family time."
"Aw, but you'd be surprised B, they're pretty chill people, I really don't think they'd mind. Oh, and thank you, I'll be sure to let you know when we land."
The intercom interrupts "Flight 2451 to Milwaukee is now boarding."
"Wait what?"
"That was just Hanna, she um, she was saying she hopes this flight 's WiFi is working , so she's not bored." Smooth
"Aw yeah, that sounded kinda like her, does she have a cold?"
"No nothing like that haha, she lost her voice a couple of days ago from cheering at a football game. Oops, that's my cue. The plane's boarding, but I'll call you later, Love you!!"
"A-Love you."
Whew, that was close. Thank goodness it was early for him, so he wouldn't be able to think about it too much. I boarded the plane very anxiously, and apparently I was so excited I kept shaking my leg and my sister got mad since it shook her seat.
We arrived shortly, and got a rental car. Apparently Coleen and Sean were out shopping, so Brady would have to open the door. It was perfect! Well, almost.
We parked at the Tutton's all jet lagged, but comforted at being home. I practically jumped out the car to slam the doorbell, with my family close behind. I rang the bell and planted myself right in front of the door, but it wasn't Brady who opened the door. "Oh my gosh Gen, it's been so long!" Casey said pulling me into a hug. "Brady's in the kitchen helping with dessert." I sneakily crept to right behind Brades and tapped his opposite shoulder, which was difficult with loud boots, thankfully Bublè was blasting. Brady turned away just long enough for me to step in front of the sweet potatoes he was mashing. "Uh," he utters before turning back around and realizing it was me. "Oh my god, G!? No way! How'd you? I thought I heard Milwaukee earlier." He said hugging me. "You did, but yet you still believed me."
Later on we all sat around the fire cuddled up eating pizza, since all the major cooking should be saved for tomorrow, and it felt like old times. Me and Bray just enjoying each others' presence and discussing the little things.
*After Thanksgiving*
Unfortunately, it was time to depart once agin with my second family. My family stayed in the car, but I thought I'd say goodbye to Brady again. I patiently stood waiting for B to answer the door, only one problem. It wasn't B.
"Um, hi can I help you?" Some blonde asked snobbishly. "You actually cannot, but where's Bray?" "Oh you mean my boyfriend?" She snarked.
I felt all of the color drain from my face and my throat closing in. Boyfriend. Her boyfriend.
"Who's at the door, V?"
"Oh V, cool nickname very original," I spat with anger. Brady came into view and as soon as he saw me you could see panic run through him. "Don't you want to introduce me to your friend Brady," I said forcefully. "Like, I already said sweetheart," the girl said," I'm his girlfriend." "I-" I didn't even let him say an entire word before I blew up. "Wow Brady. You can't even find the balls to tell me you had a girlfriend yourself, or even the fact you were dating anyone? Hell, you were just not gonna tell me and continue to lead me on since I would have no fucking idea in another state right?!" By now the entire family was watching me cuss Brady out and the girl went to watch tv. "Well tell you what, Brady Tutton, I hope you have a great time with her here in Wisconsin, but know that when I go back to LA and quit turning down all the guys that I did for you, just know that I'm not the one who broke our promise." Tears were streaming down my cheeks and all Brady could do was stand there in complete shock. "I'm sorry for the rest of you," I apologized to his family. "I had no right to swear in your household and I'll just be on my way. Thank you again."
I stormed out to the car, with Coleen and Casey right behind me. I could faintly hear more yelling inside the house as Sean and Brady's siblings scolded him. "Oh honey, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into him. He changed so much when you left, but whenever you came back he was normal and happy again," Coleen rubbed my back. Casey added, "If you ever need someone to talk to you know who to call," she said with a soft smile.
I wasn't certain of all that just took place, but one things for sure, as soon as I was on the plane I couldn't be happier.
