Alyana's family

Chapter 3: The Quads Arrived

Alyana's POV (not edited)

 Previously: Luckily, the doorbell rang getting stopping me from dwelling on it any sooner. I was so caught of guard that I didn't get time to think of how to surprise them and simply stood still from shock. Thankfully, they were all arguing to pay anyone else any attention. And when I say all of them I meant all of them except Noah, the youngest.

When they came in mom cleared her throat really loudly causing them to stop arguing and focus on us. When they saw us they all dropped their bags and kept looking at Lyssa and I. The silence was finally cleared when Noah finally seemed to break out of his trance and run up to me and hugging me while spinning around, "Your here! And you seem to have gained weight too, I'm so proud of you."

Noah had visited me 2 summers ago when he came to the east for some trip related to his doctor career that he is studying for. At the time I was dealing with a lot of things that I won't think about now but, he helped me get back on my feet and I probably wouldn't be here right now if he didn't help me. By now you probably guessed I had anorexia before and you are right. I'm still recovering though he doesn't need to know that I haven't healed yet. While I tried not to let his words affect me it was kinda hard to do when people say I gained weight.

Thankfully before anyone could talk about what Noah said, Amelia, Lauren, and Logan all rushed up to me and hugged me. The three of them hadn't seen me since when they left for college which was the same time I left. The four of them were all pretty tall compared to my 5'3" size (in feet), and they easily suffocated me in their huge group hug and I struggled for oxygen when they finally left me to hug the rest of my family. After the reunion they four of them left to their rooms to get ready before we all left for the restaurant. 

The restaurant we went to was owned by friends of ours and was one of the few we went to as a whole family as they actually had room for us. We all got seated down in the same place we have always sat at. Usually I would get Alfredo pasta but now just thinking about makes want to gag. Instead I ordered the least food possible hoping no one would talk about it. 

" Hi ya'll, I'll be your waiter today are you ready to order," The waiter who asked us seemed to be new since she didn't know us but knowing we will meet the owners later, we all ordered. Everyone was to busy chatting to know I barely got anything but I just hope it stays like that.
