Bad Habits 3 |D.T

A Sight For Sore Eyes

She ran into the taxi, holding a suitcase and her high heels in another.
"Fucking step on it. I'm heading to Jersey." She commanded.

She held up her shoe and the taxi driver put his his foot down on the pedal and sped down the street. His eyes widened when he saw the shoe in her hand.

A FEW HOURS LATER—

MALIAS P.O.V—

We were all eating breakfast and I was sitting in the kitchen with Zack whilst mom was making pancakes.
The smell of warm pancakes in the morning always made me feel happy.

Especially if it was my mom that was making them because one time Addison's mom made pancakes that were already pre made and she ended up burning them in the microwave. I don't know how but she did.

"Here's your breakfast." Mom handed me a plate with three pancakes on, drizzled with maple syrup and with a few slices of banana on the side.

She handed a plate to Zack as well and he took it happily.
"Gracias Mama." He said and both mom and I smiled.

"de nada bebé" Mom smiled.

"Who taught you that Zack?" She asked him and Zack looked at me with a grin.
"Malia." He said and I smiled.

Uncle Grayson came into the kitchen and he took a pancake off my plate.
"Sure you can have my food." I said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

He laughed "Sorry."

There was a knock on the door and my eyes widened.
YASSSSSSS!!

Quickly I ran to the door and I opened it.
I immediately jumped for joy.

"Someone call?" It was Aunt Allison.
"Oh my gosh, Aunt Ally!" I jumped in for a hug.

She walked into the house.
"I heard it was someone's prom."
I laughed "Yep."

We both walked into the kitchen and my moms jaw dropped when she saw Allison.
"Oh my gosh Ally." She dropped the spatula and ran to give her a hug.

"There's my bestie!"

Grayson went to give her a hug and I noticed the awkwardness between them.
"Good to see you." He said to her and she smiled.
"You too. How's Kaitlin?" Allison asked him and I sniggered a little.

Grayson corrected her "Kasey not Kaitlin."

"How's Noah?" He asked her.
She shrugged and rolled her eyes "I wouldn't know. He's always on business trips."

Poor Aunt Allison. I knew she felt left out because even though she's with Noah, she still hasn't married or had children like her best friend or other friends did.
Neither did Uncle Grayson. It's like they're both missing out a part of their life by being with the love of their lives.

My mom always told me Grayson had trust issues and at times the only ones he ever trusted was my Dad, her and Allison.

"Well I hope he's alright." Grayson said nervously.
He hugged Allison again and this time it was a long and meaningful. They both really missed each other. I could tell.

They both pulled away from the hug and Allison looked at Zack and I.
"You guys look just like your parents. Damn! They have some good genes!"
I laughed at what she said and Zack just looked at me confused as always.

"So I heard someone's going to prom and you need help finding a dress?" Allison asked me and I nodded.

My mom walked up to us "Actually Ally, I had everything under control."
Allison chuckled "You always say that Yaz but you never admit to when you need help so that's why I'm here for you."

"What's all the noise?!" My Dad came into the kitchen and he was looking all tired.
His eyes widened when he saw Allison.

"Wow Allison's here." He said sarcastically and gave a nervous smile, slowly backing out of the kitchen again.
"Nice to see you too Ethan." Allison yelled.

My mom and Allison were in the guest room with Grayson.
Grayson was moving his things out of the guest room so Allison could move her things in.

"Grayson I don't want you to do this, I don't mind sleeping on the couch-"
"It's no worry. You travelled this far and consider it as a favour." He interrupted her.

Grayson picked up a box with his clothes in and he took it downstairs.

I was getting ready and I was picking some clothes out from my closet.
There was then a knock on my door and it was my mom.

"So are you gonna tell me the real reason why you called your Aunty Allison here?" She stood by the door and I sighed.
"Okay fine." I sat down on my bed. She shut the door behind her and sat next to me.

"It's not just because I need help for prom but....it's meant to be Grayson and Allison."
She rolled her eyes and sighed "Malia you can't help everyone. Grayson and Ally are already with someone-"

I scoffed "Yeah right. Ally hardly sees Noah and Grayson fights with Kasey so much that they have to see a therapist."
My mom didn't say anything but laugh at me.

"What now?" I rolled my eyes.
She shook her head "Nothing, you just remind me a lot of myself. I used to be like this all the time when I was your age."

I gave a soft smile "Principal Hosey called me Yasmine the other day. She said I'm just like you as well."
She nodded "You honestly are and I'm proud."

She got up from the bed and clapped her hands "Come on get ready, if you want your Aunt to take you to the mall for a dress you best hurry up."

I got up and I laid my outfit on the bed.
Mom opened the door and right before she was about to walk out, she turned around.

"I think the same thing too." She said and I lifted my head up and looked at her with a smile.
"You think?-"

"It always should've been them together. I know when it comes to my best friends happiness." She said and then walked out of my room before I could say anything else.
