Bad Habits 3 |D.T

One Problem After Another

School was over and I was just walking out of biology but I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder.
I turned around and it was Connor.

"Oh hi." I said confused.
He smiled "Sorry did I scare you?"

I shook my head "No you didn't it's just-what's up?"
"Well I texted you yesterday and I was hoping we could hang out today. After school maybe?"

The dinner..

"Sorry I cant tonight, I'm kinda busy." I scratched the back of my head.
"Why What could you possibly be doing that's so urgent?" He rolled his eyes.

"Just Family stuff." I said vaguely.
"Oh well we can-"

"Mal you coming?" Connor got interrupted by Aidan. I turned around and I gave Aidan a nod.
"Yep, I'll be there in a sec." I told Aidan and then I looked back at Connor.

"Sorry, I'll talk to you later." I gave him an awkward smile and Connor just sighed.

I walked out of the building with Aidan and I left Connor without saying anything else.

CONNORS P.O.V—

What could that freak possibly have that I don't?
And why's she running off with him? Why HIM?!

MALIAS P.O.V—
AN HOUR LATER—

"Mama I'm home!" I slammed the front door shut.
I walked into the living room and Uncle Grayson and my Dad were arguing. As usual. But it wasn't just a "you did this" "you said this", it was petty brotherly arguments, that's why my mom never gets involved because she knows she'll just end up beating both of their asses.

"You scratched my car! It's completely wrecked!" Dad pointed at Grayson.
Oh no...

Uncle Grayson's eyes widened "Ethan you're so delusional, how would you even think it's me?!"
"Because you got here today and THAT scratch on my car got here TODAY!"

Grayson chuckled "Well the Mail got here today so are you saying I'm the Mail man?"
HA! That doesn't even make sense.

"Why don't you mail yourself back to your own house?!" Dad fired back.

"Ugh you're such an annoying brother! Why're you my twin?! At least I'm mature!" Uncle Grayson yelled at him.
Ethan answered back and chuckled "At least I was planned."

Oooooooo shit!

I couldn't help but enjoy watching them argue. It was annoying but kinda entertaining.

"You know what? Maybe I'll scratch your car for real so you can actually accuse me of something I did."
"I'll fucking scratch your face in a minute!"

Grayson took a deep breath and flared his nostrils "For the last time. I didn't scratch your car!"
Ethan shouted even louder "YES YOU DID!"

Dad got interrupted by the front door opening. It was my brother Zack.
He was holding a bag of leaves after he finished cleaning the garden.

"Dad these hedge clippers work great! I tested them out on your car." Zack held up the hedge clippers.
Uncle Grayson and I burst out laughing but the only person who wasn't laughing was my Dad.

Ethan's jaw dropped and he walked up to Zack.
"You tested out hedge clippers on my car?" He couldn't believe what he was saying himself.
Zack nodded with a smile.

"But it's not that bad compared to mommy's, the side mirror on her car broke." Zack said.
All of our eyes widened and I was expecting my Dad to flip but.....

"That's my boy!" Dad smiled and gave him a high five.

"You did what to my car?!" My mom burst in the living room and all of us jumped.
OH SHIIIIIII!!

It was evening time and Aidan was going to show up any minute. He texted me before hand to wait for him when until he arrived. He told me he got really shy around meeting new people because all they ever did was judge.

The doorbell rang and I rushed to open it.

I opened the door and Aidan was standing there with his hands in his pockets and he actually looked put together for once. Usually he was one to not give a shit but I was guessing he was feeling kinda lucky.

"Hi." I smiled.
"Do I look okay?" He sounded nervous.

"You look great." I giggled. (A/N— UGH "giggled"!)
"My moms in the kitchen making dinner so come through." I opened the door wider, letting him in the house.

Aidan followed me into the living room where my Dad, Uncle Grayson and Zack were.

"Everyone, this is Aidan."
All of their heads turned in our direction.

"Haha Malias got a boyfriend!" My brother Zack shouted out and my face went red from embarrassment.
I looked over at Aidan and I caught him chuckling a little.

You brat!

Uncle Grayson knew I felt awkward so He quickly tried to step in.
"Nice to meet you." Grayson shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr Dolan." Aidan said and Grayson raised his eyebrow.

Oh he thinks-

"Aidan this is my uncle." I looked at him serious when I said "Uncle".
Aidan's eyes widened and he looked at Uncle Grayson.

"Oh I thought you were her Dad?" He said awkwardly.
Uncle Grayson said sarcastically "Why do we look alike?"

I quickly stepped in and stopped Uncle Grayson.
"Okay that's enough now." I said kindly but really I was serious.
I already knew Aidan was nervous and I didn't want my family to scare him away.

"I'm the Dad." My Dad got up from the couch and he gave Aidan a hug.
Aww.

We all sat down and I sat next to Aidan.

There was a silence for a few minutes until....
"Are you guys gonna get married?" Zack said and my eyes widened.

I glared at him and I felt the awkwardness that I started to cringe.

"Zack go and help your mother with dinner." Uncle Grayson made him stand up and he took him to the kitchen.

Yeah you little-

"Sorry about my brother, he just loves making people feel uncomfortable and embarrassing his sister." I mumbled the last bit under my breath.
Aidan shook his head at me and laughed "You got that right."
