"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Brent and Campbell have been together for almost a year. Well, they aren't together right now because of her memory loss, but that's beside the point," Grace said with a scowl.
"I'm sorry, what?! My daughter moved here to be here with this lying cheater!" Jessica replied, making everybody go silent.
"Mom," Maya said, standing up from her sit. "Brent and I broke up the summer before my junior year. I am the cheater not him. When I moved here, I thought I could get him back, but he was already in love with Campbell."
Nathan sat in his seat with no reaction. His face was neutral. But his wife on the other hand, quickly stood up from her chair.
"You can't even keep a boyfriend! You are a disappointment to this family!" Jessica exclaimed making Maya's lip tremble as she tried not to cry.
"That's enough," Ross said, calmly, standing up from his chair.
Maya glared at her mother then she took a deep breath before opening her mouth.
"I am not a disappointment! You two are! You two should be ashamed to call yourselves parents! I have tried and tried for years to get you two to love me, but I can see that it impossible. And since I'm already a disappointment, let me tell you the actual truth! I don't want to be a model! I want to be a reporter! I don't want a boyfriend who loves somebody else! My weight is fine! My makeup is fine! How I dress and act are fine!
And if you two are not going to accept that, then there is the door!" Maya exploded, throwing her hands up in frustration. Then she sat back down in her seat without another word.
She took a bite of her food and she smiled. "This food is delicious, Aunt Lisa."
"Thank you," Lisa thanked with a confused look on her face.
"Thank you for lunch, Lisa, but we have to go," Jessica said with a tight smile.
I looked over at Maya to see that she was completely shocked. I don't think she was suspecting that.
"Nathan," Lisa said with a soft expression.
"Jess, you go ahead. I'm going to stay," Nathan told his wife.
Jessica scowled,"Nathan Walker, if you do not walk out of here with me, we are done."
"Well, I guess we are done then," Nathan replied before taking a sip of his water.
Jessica scoffed,"Idiots! All of you are idiots!" Then she stormed into the house, and I heard the front door slam.
"It's not a holiday if there's not family drama," Nick said, earning a glare from Lisa and Ross.
