Chapter 18
ECHO'S POV
"So, I talked to your um.."grandmother" today." My mom said, putting air quotes around grandmother. "And your father and I had a long talk about this. Do you guys want to meet them?" My mom asked while we were eating dinner.
"Yeah." Davey said.
"Why not." Nate shrugged.
"Echo?" My dad asked.
"Can I bring Haven?"
"We don't want to introduce them to too many people for certain reasons."
"I don't know, she kind of creeps me out."
"We will be with you guys the entire time." My mom said.
"Sure." I said, continuing to eat my food.
"Alright, I'll call her back and set up a date." My mom said.
*One Week Later*
"So, you meet your grandparents today, right?" Haven asked as we sat down at lunch.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot." I said, starting to eat.
"You nervous?"
"I guess. She kinda creeped me out so I'm kind of scared to see what her husband is like. It feels weird calling them my grandparents since I've grown up only having one set."
"I can imagine. I only have one set too so I guess that would be pretty weird."
"Oh yeah, that's right." I said, remembering Ashley's parents had died when Ashley was a kid. "I just wish you could be with me."
"I wish I could too, but your parents said it would be safer if it was jsut the five of you?"
"Yeah, they don't want history repeating itself in anyway."
"I can understand that. Just be sure to tell me everything that happened, alright?"
"Got it." I smiled as we got up to throw away our trash. Haven walked me to my next class and I kissed his lips before he ran off to his class.

"Echo, Davey, get in the car." My mom said. I dropped my bag at the door and slipped my phone into my pocket, walking out to the car. I got into the backseat with my brothers as my parents got in the front seat and we drove for about thirty minutes.
We finally got out at a limestone, one story house. This must be there house.
"Stay with us at all times, you understand?" My mom said and we nodded. We walked up to the door and my mom gripped my dad's hand as she knocked.
"Niki! It's been so long!" Her mom exclaimed, hugigng her.
"Yeah." My mom sighed.
"Nice seeing you again." My dad smiled at her. She rolled her eyes and peered around my mom to look at us.
"Hey, if you want to meet my kids, you have to respect my husband first." My mom said.
"Hi Andy." My grandmother sighed.
"That's a start." My mom groaned. "Anyway, this is Echo, Davey and Nate." My mom said.
"I'm guessing...he suggested these names?" My grandmother asked, eyeing my dad. Holy shit, she's rude.
"No, we decided on them together. Now if you're done insultuing my family-"
"You're right, the boys do look a lot like him...what a shame. Let's hope you two don't turn out like your dad."
"I thinik it's time for us to leave." My mom said.
"Hold on, let me get your dad." She said, walking away. "Come in if you want."
"Do not go in whatever you do. We're going to meet your grandfather then leave." My mom told us.
"Good idea." My dad said.
"She's really rude." Nate said.
"I know." My mom said.
"Niki!" My dad exclaimed.
"Hi." She said, hugging him. My grandfather totally ignored my dad, going straight to us.
"This is Echo, Davey and Nate." My mom said.
"Well it's nice to meet you three." My grandfather smiled. "Well arn't you pretty. You look just like your mother when she was that age, what are you, seventeen, eighteen?"
"Sixteen."
"I was close. And you two look so much like...it." My grandfather groaned in disgust, eyeing my father. "What a shame, let's hope you'll grow out of that."
"Goodbye, we're leaving." My mom said, pushing the three of us to the car.
"Wait!" My grandmother called.
"No, fuck you! You lost your fucking chance!" My mom called as my dad followed us to the car. We got in and drove away.
"I WAS FUCKING RIGHT! THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED ONE FUCKING BIT!" My mom screaming, punching and kicking the dash.
"Niki calm down."
"NO! THEY'RE FUCKING RUDE AND DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR YOU! I'M SICK OF IT!
"I never want to see them again." Davey said.
"Good, cause you never will."
