Thanksgiving day

I woke up with a giant smile on my face which is strange

The feeling of being in jersey made butterflies in my stomach it was a nice warm feeling

I got up putting shorts up and look out the window of the room I stayed in seeing the orange and red leaves fall from the trees

In California you don't see this, theirs not a lot of seasons that you see it's either really hot or chilly and being back home is really nice

I opened the window instantly feeling the cold weather. I quickly closed it and went into my suitcase pulling out a dark purple hoodie and putting it on

Whenever I put hoodies on I can't leave my hair down so I put it up and open the door walking down the hallway past cams room

She flew in last night I wasn't able to see her since I was dead asleep but I'm making sure to talk to her about her love life

I walk down the wooden cold stairs instantly regretting not putting on socks

Nobody was up yet and I know Matt really missed my cooking so I'm doing this for him

I decided to make biscuits and gravy and another choice is a bagel with eggs bacon and cheese on it

I started making the stuff and I hear the creaking of the steps make a noise meaning someone was walking down the stairs

"Good morning"I heard Ethan's voice say from behind me. I turned around and saw him rubbing his tired eyes then stretching

"Good morning"I said turning back to the food I was cooking

"Oooo can I make the bacon"he asked me in a pleading way

"Yeah just grad the little grill and the bacon and do the rest"I said remembering when I taught him how to cook the bacon last time

He started putting the bacon on the hot grill immediately hearing the sizzling of the bacon being cooked

—————————

"Oh my gosh Ellington you don't know how much I missed your cooking"Matt said as he got up to go get seconds then sat back down devouring the food

"Don't be messy"Lisa said and Matt quickly stoped shoving food in his mouth

"So Ellington are you going to try out for volleyball at NYU"Sean asked biting the bacon

"I don't know I might since NYU's team sucks ass"I said and Lisa glared at me for saying ass

"I think you should"Logan said shrugging his shoulders

"Your good, won 3 championships on an academic and athletic scholarship what could go wrong"Cameron said and I nodded actually listening to what they had to say

Maybe i should.....

"Ok I'll do it"I said

"Oh thank god I need to do something that doesn't require me to fly across the country for"Sean said

He's always been the athletic guy to be their for the twins and I's sports and college admission for the athletic scholarship

He wasn't biologically my father or adoptive parent but he made sure to be their for me since I didn't really have anybody accept people at the foster home including Lisa too

"I guess we must start decorating and cooking for the afternoon everyone is coming and we need to take out the 4 tables from the garage"Lisa said pointing her attention to Ethan and Grayson

They nodded their heads finishing up their food and standing up at the same time

———————
"Ellington"I heard my name being called out throughout the house by Lisa

"Yes"I said walking to the kitchen where I heard her

"Do you know how to season the ham the way your mom did"Lisa asked me


Dad and I sat the table up as mom took the ham out of the oven and quickly walked over to the table setting it on a tray releasing a giant breath of relief. It smelt good really good. My mom has always been a really good cook.

"Well"she asked us as she sat down taking out a fork and knife cutting pieces of ham onto a plate

"Here honey"she said and handed me the plate as I had to get the rest myself

-
I can remember that day so well, it was the last official meal we had together and it broke me into pieces thinking about it

"Hun you ok"Lisa asked me snapping me out of my thoughts

"Uh yea yes"I said shaking my head a little and walking towards the pantry and looking through it finding the right spices my mom used for the ham

I found the right ones and poured it on the uncooked ham without measurement since it didn't really matter, putting them back and walked out going into the garage to help Ethan and Grayson with the tables


"Are we putting them outside"I asked them as Ethan Grayson carried one glass table

Matt and I carried a table

Logan and Christina carried a table as Makenzie was dead asleep on a couch

So that means another two people have to come back and get the last table

We had to go through the garage door since we can't fit the table through the doors and turns the house has to get to the back yard

Grayson pressed the button to the door and it opened revealing the long ass driveway they have

Matt was in the front looking back every once in a while making sure he wasn't gonna run into anything as we walked in the grass into the backyard

Me making sure their where no snakes around so one doesn't fucking attack me

We made it to the back and their was a giant white tent that was in the middle of the backyard that had some lights around it and torches......

I liked the lights knowing it's going to make it prettier in the dark but I don't know about the torches

I thought they knew how I felt about fire

We sat the tables down in the grass, two side by side in the front and two side by side in the back if we can get the other one out here without fighting of who goes back

——————
"I can't believe they made us do Rock Paper Scissors to see who goes back"Ethan said to me as we walked along  the side of the house to get the other table

I laughed agreeing with him it was unfair i suck at it

We walked in the garage and picked up the table

"Do you think we need that one? We don't want anybody reaching over us to get food"Ethan said pointing his attention on the small white table in the corner of the garage folded up

"Let me see"Ethan added

"ETHAN NO!"I yelled as he let god of his side as the table came crashing down shattering everywhere I released my hands off the table as Ethan looked like he was about to shit his pants

"What is going on out here-"Lisa said then she realized what happened

"Are you serious"she said like she wasn't surprised

She probably knew that was gonna happen

"It was his fault"I said pointing at him as Ethan tried to find words to support his case but nothing came out
