"dad!" elmo says excitedly as he hops up from the sofa.
"dad?"
i stand up as elmo runs down the hall, me following.
"dad omg!" i say.
this was the first time i've seen him home since mom died!
"hi my precious babies!"
my parents loved calling us 'babies', even though we're literally 17 and 18.
"what are you doing home?" elmo asks as we walk into the living room.

joshua looks towards me as i shake my head, signalling him not to say anything about me going to see him last night.
"well, i felt like i needed a break and decided that i should be here so we can support each other during this hard time! especially since the funeral is this saturday"
"wow. how long are you staying?" mars asks.
"maybe a week or two"
elmo and mars pull their dad into a hug.
"how are you two?" he asks them.
"really good!" elmo replies.
"and how are all you's?" their dad asks all of us as we reply with a series of 'good's and 'great's.
he walks off and down the hall as mars sits back beside me.
"i can't believe he's here!"
"yo me neither, that's so good though!"
mars cheerfully wraps her arms around me as i grin. i look over at elmo who couldn't sit still from how excited he was. they both have been the happiest i've seen in a long time and it's amazing. it for real made my heart warm.
we were all planning to go get pizza but mars and elmo decided to stay back to catch up with their dad.
"do you want me to bring you takeaway?" noen asks
"i'm good" elmo says.
"and you?" andre asks.
"yes please"
"we'll bring back a cheese pizza then" i say.
"my favourite" she says with a grin as i smile.
of course i remembered her favourite.
"stay the night?" she asks.
"no" elmo says quickly as everyone laughs.
"are yous gonna fuck or what?"
"shut up elmo, of course not" mars exclaims.
"yeah obviously not since your room's right next to hers"
"so what you're saying is that if i'm not there you would?"
"bruh you really love putting words in people's mouths" she says.
"yeah but not this time coz it's fax" i say as i send a wink to mars as everyone laughs.
"nice one jaden" elmo says pointing to something behind me.
i turn around and see their dad.
"uh. who's ready for pizza?" i say as everyone laughs once again.
they all start piling out the front door. i wave goodbye to mars and flip elmo off as i follow.
