The girl next door (An Impractical Jokers Fanfiction)

Chapter 3.

I decided to start reading my book. It was kinda hard not to glance at Q's house hoping he saw me and came out to say hello, but I knew there was no chance of that ever happening. My phone buzzed, it was both Hailey and Alex.

"Hey girl." said Hailey, I replied.

Alex's text was a paragraph also. We talked for a little bit then she had to go. Seems like we can never talk too long.

My days went exactly like this. I came downstairs, my mom left me a note saying she's working. I make myself some breakfast then read and watch tv. Then I make lunch, my mom comes home and makes dinner. I play on my phone. Then at night I go to my room and pray for my dad to get well. After that I pray for my old life... The one I had before I left for college, the one where Q was in it. That was my everyday life and it just never got better.

Thanksgiving came quick and it was family time. But it didn't feel the same without dad, we did visit him in the morning and ate breakfast with him but that was it. No special family time or joyful laughter. Just the smell of medicine and sick people. We stepped out of the room for a couple of seconds when we hear a strong beep and people rushing into the room. We of course followed but soon were kicked out. After some worrying minutes, the doctor came out and gave me the worst news of my whole life. My father was dead. I fell to the ground with tears. I could barely breath, this was not happening! How could this happen? Why now? My whole heart sank and I wished I was dead. I calmed down after a few hours as we came home.

My mom was preparing this wonderful dinner, but what for? This isn't the same thanksgiving we have every year. It's different. My grandma was coming over with Jeffery, and I only looked forward to seeing him. My annoying cousins were coming with their husbands/wives and children. Maybe dad is lucky he's not here to witness this terrible time. Usually we would be so joyful, spending time together and celebrating. Making mom yell at us for bothering her while cooking. Then having her hit me with the wooden spoon but very lightly because she didn't want to hurt me. Having my dad drag me into the living room to finally give my mom a break and watch the parade on TV. Laughing at the weird parade floats and then greeting family members at the door with the biggest smile ever, even if it was fake. Being with him was all I needed to be happy. Finally we sat down for thanksgiving dinner and had a blast. It was all I ever wanted, but now it has been taken away from me. Today will always be the worst day and it will never be the same.

A tear fell down my cheek thinking about all that. I was in the kitchen watching my mother make dinner. We invited family members earlier this year so we can talk about what happened and to be thankful for him living a long life... Bullshit. I want him to live!

I decided to go to the living room and watch the parade alone now, it wasn't the same. I glanced out the window and saw that Sal, Joe, and Murr were going into Q's house along with a bunch of family members. I wish I was there and I probably would've been if we were still dating. I sighed and just took a nap on the couch. Thanksgiving was just beginning.
