The room was awkwardly silent then George walked in holding 4 pizzas.
"I got the pizzas!" he said. I asked Ellie if she thought four pizzas was to much, she replied with
"big family." we giggled as Jack scrambled to get the first slices. It smelled delicious so I couldn't blame him.

As Emily reached over to get a piece she hit my arm again. When she noticed, she started apologising
"AHHH OH NO, I'M SO SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO HIT YOU-"
"it's fine, honestly." I said smiling at her. She smiled back and my heart glowed with happiness.

I grabbed a bit of vegan cheese pizza and, to be honest, it was way nicer than I expected it to be. I always thought that food with no dairy wouldn't taste good but, I guess I'd just never tried it before.

As everyone was eating, I noticed Emily moving her leg closer and closer to mine. It was definitely intentional as she kept looking at me then her leg. I moved mine to hers and as they touched, I felt a spark. A connection I had with her that I didn't have with anyone else. I wanted to hug her right there on the spot.

At one point Adam had to go take his phone away and out of his pocket because it was blowing up with dms from fan girls, George went to clean up, isabel got up to go to the loo and Jack, well, I don't know where he went. Ellie said she was thirsty so she left to get a drink. It was just me and Emily.

"so y/n" she said, taking me by surprise, "what music do you like?"
"oh um, well I like Girl In Red and the Neighbourhood are quite good," I explained, trying to get my point across. She looked up thoughtfully, I was scared that she was going to say that she didn't know who they were but she said
"I also really like girl in red" winking.
I nearly fell out of my seat
"really?!" she nodded as a sense of relief flushed over my body.

After a few seconds of sitting there looking into each others eyes, my phone beeped. It was my mum telling me it was time to come home. So I said goodbye to Emily and went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Eliana and visited various other places to say goodbye to other siblings.

I walked out of the door and thought to myself,
"I absolutely hecking love this family" and giggled at the thought of Emily then mounted my bike and ride home.

I stepped through the door and the heat from the boiler washed over me as I realize how truly cold it was outside at this time of year.
"How's your friend Ellie darling?" I heard my mum call from the kitchen
"Oh, she's good, I also met her 5 other siblings and they all seemed nice!"
And that's all I said to her.
