(Ryan's POV)
"Why aren't you here yet?" My Mom clips through the phone.
"I'm too sick to fly."
"So first its Thanksgiving now it's Christmas. That boy is keeping you away from us. I know you aren't really sick you're just trying to stay out there with him." Rolling my eyes I hold back a cough so she doesn't think I'm faking it.
"No I'm actually sick, I wanted to come home I need a break from California."
"I expect to see you as soon as you get 'better' Ryan. It's really disappointing that you aren't going to be here, this is the first Christmas with you away from us. What am I supposed to tell your aunts, uncles and cousins?"
"That I'm sick and I can't make it."
"That's a terrible excuse. I wanted you to have a man because of how uptight you were, but now it's just annoying that you keep missing out on family time." Uptight? Wow thanks Mom, I think to myself.
"Alright mom, I'll buy a ticket as soon as I'm better."
"Okay Ryan we have a lot to speak about once you come home."
"Love you."
"Love you too baby girl." She hangs up making me sigh. Letting the cough out that I was holding back it sends me into a coughing fit. It was Christmas Day, Justine went to Broderick's with John and Michael went to his mothers house despite being sick. He almost begged me to come, but I didn't want to impose on his family time especially with his bitter ass brother lurking around. Going on Instagram I get on live not expecting so many people to come. Setting the camera down I wrap my blanket around me watching the comments roll in.
"Hey guys, I'm sick and home bound." I pout to the camera. "I'm bored and I decided to do a little QnA because I don't have anything else to do. So get y'all a questions ready." I hold I up finger to the camera leaving to go make a cup of tea. I already had it simmering on the stove I just needed to add some sugar and honey. Putting the different ingredients on the coffee table I bounce back on to the couch.
"Damn can y'all calm down? I'm back." I laugh seeing that most of the questions were about Michael. "Where is Michael? He's at his parents house. It is Christmas after all, I would be at home with my family too but his loser ass got me sick." I smack my teeth seeing that he got on my live. "Look here he comes trying to defend himself, like he didn't get me sick." He dropped some laughing emojis.
"Now he's stealing my shine, y'all don't pay attention to him. When am I going to film another video? I'll film some on New Years, there is a ball or something and I'm going to be wearing designer. They want me to vlog the experience of me in the dress and everyone's reaction."
"Who got you the ring? Oh this?" I show the camera the ring Michael gave me smiling. "Michael gave it to me as a early Christmas gift. Y'all drop what y'all got for Christmas and what you're doing if you celebrate." Looking at what everyone is saying I smile.
