Chapter Twenty one

Picture of Jonah:)

"Okay everyone, Lucas is bringing Elena up; so be nice," Scarlett says, mostly towards me because I am not in the mood to be playing house.

"Yes, we will," says Mel; I still think it's funny how nice Mel is being towards all of us. I know it's because of her special man, Royce Anderson. She won't admit it, but I know it's true.

Drew and Jonah also agrees and reluctantly, I do too.

"Alrighty then; I'm so excited for you all to meet her properly and get to know her," Scar says ecstated.

"And how well do you know her?" I ask and she rolls her eyes.

"I know her well enough to call her my family," she states, with a hand on her hip.

Lucas prepared a big brunch for us all before we woke up and Scarlett planned this whole family gathering so it's supposed to be a big deal.

To her, anyways.

I know I shouldn't be grumpy, according to everyone, we're all one, big happy family, but to me I know we're all just fooling ourselves. I honestly don't understand why I'm so pessimistic now- maybe it's because I miss my parents, maybe it's because I've had too much drama in the past month, I don't know. I just know, that I'm not the cheery girl I used to be before all this happened.

I need to get my groove back- just I don't know who can help me with that besides myself.

"She's here!" Scar squeals happily. Just seeing my sister with a big smile on my face makes me really happy on the inside. I know New York has changed her, and I feel as if it's taking a toll on me now also, but I just know I need to support her on the whole motherly thing, I just don't know if I want to be as excited as her.

She's left us once; who says she won't do it again?

"Mom!" I hear, snapping me out of my thoughts. Scarlett opens the door for Elena, capturing her in a big hug.

"You can do this," Drew says beside me, giving me a supporting smile. He takes my hand in his, "come on," he says, leading me towards the Adam's Family.

"Alexandria," Elena greets me with open arms and I step closer, so she can wrap her skinny arms around me. She's definitely has put some meat on since the last time I seen her. She used to be hardcore skinny, and now she's more thicker.

"Hi," was all I could say. I could see Scarlett's frown from the side of us, so I barely put my arms around her frail body.

''How are you Elena?" Mel greeted with a light smile, while we break up the hug.

"I'm great, thank you for having me," she replies and smiles to everyone else, "this gentleman has been really kind to me," she says, nudging Lucas, while he shrugs, with a hearty smile, he wraps his arms around Scar's shoulders and they whisper things to each other.

They're quite the golden couple though. My mind wonders to Zach- if Scarlett is taking her place in the spotlight back, and is now in a relationship with Lucas... what happens to Zach? Will he go on with his daily life and does as he will?

I get a lump in my throat, thinking about never seeing Zach again. Maybe that's a good thing, I thought. I don't want it to be, though.

"Let's eat!" Jonah says excitedly, as he rubs his stomach and everyone laughs.

We all sit at the dining table, then the door rings, "Who's that?" Jonah asks and Scarlett gets up to get it.

"Ahhh, I've missed you so much!" I hear a familiar voice and I look to Jonah and he shrugs, not knowing who it is.
