Amnesia (on hold)

8: Meeting the Family

Dedicated to Ilalalavayou, I'm going to miss you when I move and also because you pretty much wrote the entire chapter... again. MERRY CHRISTMAS EMILY! I HOPE YOU LIKED THE NECKLACE!

Addison's PoV:

"Hello?" Leah answered her phone politely.

"Turn your caller ID on dickward."

"YOU WHAT?!?!" She looked so pissed off as she listened to the person on the other end. I silently wondered if she looked like this when Luke called her from the hospital three weeks ago.

"What time?" The black haired girl spoke as if she'd convinced herself she was calm. She obviously wasn't, you could see it in her eyes.

"YOU DU-"She paused and took a deep breath "We'll be there soon."

Leah looked at us horrified "WE HAVE TO GO!!"

"Wha-" Raven was cut off as Leah announced Calum had told his parents the wrong time and they needed to be there an hour earlier than planned. As we made our way towards Leah's car you could hear her grumbling about not buying any shoes.

"What if they don't like me?" I ask Leah, we were driving to Calum's house and she had been humming the words to 'Darlin' until I spoke up.

"Don't be stupid, who wouldn't like you?" She turns the car down an unknown street, I had gotten changed back at Ash's house when she dropped Raven off.

I was dressed nicely in a really pretty dress. It wasn't the Hazel Grace dress but a cream coloured one with gold trimming.

"Hope" I say truthfully

"Yeah but Hope is a bitch" she says

I shrugged staring out of the window. They all pity me, everyone (except hope) feels sorry for me. I should've just ran away again. They would've given up eventually. The car comes to a halt, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I fiddled with the hem of my dress as we stood in front of the beautifully built house.

The house was cute. Not too big not too small. The pale blue rimmed windows gave a nice pop against the painted white bricks. It looked like a dolls house we had seen earlier on display.

I can't do this, it's too much. I can feel tears building in my eyes as I look at the gorgeous two story house in front of me. I can tell they won't like me already, their home is expensive looking. Sure I have a $79 dress on but my hair is chaotic, I still have this awful cast on and Raven's old light pink converse don't exactly match my dress.

Leah turned around giving me a confused look. I shook my head as a single tear rolled down my cheek. "They won't like me, they'll hate me I know it!" I choked out.

"Addi" she sighed "Calum likes you, I'm sure they'll like you." She paused "you are his girlfriend after all."

Girlfriend. There's that word again.

"I shouldn't be" I murmured barely audible.

"Addi-"

"NO!" I scream cutting her off. "I'm not going, take me to the hospital I'll live there for the rest of my life." I continued more calmly this time.

Leah rolled her eyes and grabbed my wrist pulling me forwards. My converse clad feet dragged along the soft green grass as I hopelessly struggled against her iron grip.

She walked through the door yelling a simple 'here we are'. I took a deep breath and hesitantly followed. Once inside a heavenly scent filled my nose. Leah walked straight ahead and through a walkway.
