Choices

Chapter 41

The song is Fade To Black by Metallica! I hope you like this little scene! I've been watching all the missions for GTA V story mode and thought what better way for Evan to meet the family than a good old fashion family therapy session! Lol, enjoy the chapter! 

(Hopes POV)

      My phone started ringing, waking both Evan and I up. I reach over to the nightstand and grab my phone, seeing a number I don't recognize. I sit up and answer it as I rub the sleep from out of my eyes.

     "Hello?" I ask groggily. Evan sits up in bed, wrapping his arms around me.

     "Hey Hope, are you free for the next hour or so?" I hear Jimmy say on the other line. I was more awake now after hearing his voice. Evan looks over at me confused, I guess he's never met Jimmy, or Tracey, or mom, or dad.

     "I mean I just woke up, why what do you need?" I look out of the window in front of the bed, it has to be at least 10 in the morning.

     "Well, dad isn't doing so well. I went to go check on him and the whole family is just miserable. Mom wants to work out things with dad because we aren't staying at the house anymore. She wants all of us to go to Dr. Friedlander's office for a therapy session, to hopefully work some things out with dad. Dad and I are picking up Tracy now." Jimmy says with a sigh. I look over at Evan as he's already getting up and out of bed, going to the bathroom. I'm going to regret this, I am going to regret this.

     "Alright, alright fine, I'll be over there as soon as I can. Jimmy, how did you even get my new number?" I ask him. I can hear Michael mumbling to himself in the background.

     "I still have Brians contact you know, he gave it to me. I have to go, we're at the tattoo parlor." He ended the call.

     I sigh and get out of bed, going to the closet. I get out one of Evan's black shirts and high waisted white shorts from the closet before going to the dresser for some not so sexy underwear like I was wearing last night. I start to quickly get dressed as Evan casually walks out of the bathroom and goes to the closet.

     "You finally putting some clothes on?" I ask as I slide the shorts on. He rolls his eyes as he looks through his clothes.

     "Well, it looks like you get to finally meet the family." I put the shirt on as I sit back on the bed to slide on my black hightops.

     "You mean I get to see where your daddy issues came from?" He says, beginning to laugh. Yeah no shit, he has every reason to laugh because it's true.

     "Look, just get dressed and we'll go see the fucking family. I'll be downstairs getting something to eat while I wait for you, please hurry." I grab my phone and head downstairs.

     I grab an apple from the fruit basket as I lean against the island. My phone buzzes, I glance over and see it's just Jimmy texting me the address to Dr. Friedlander's office. I felt a hard slap on my ass as Evan kisses me on my cheek. I kneel over the counter in pain.

     "THAT FUCKING HURT HOLY SHIT!" I yell over to a smiling Evan.

    "Come on, I'm excited to meet the crazy family behind the crazy girl," Evan said already walking to the front door. 

     I look over at him as he's wearing a baggy red hoodie, his regular black pants, and hightops. I throw the apple back in the basket and run to Evan's side.

     "Just warning you now, I'm only somewhat close to my dad than anyone else so you can wait in the car if you want," I say. Evan chuckles for a second before shaking his head no. He hits the down button on the elevator for the garage.
