tuesday
I got my backpack and I put my vans on. Ethan started walking to the exit and I walked in front of Cameron and behind me was Grayson. I kept walking till I got to the exit. I saw Lisa and Sean in the distance and we started walking faster to get to them.
"Oh my babies!" Lisa said hugging her twins. I glanced around the airport as I looked for a food stand.
She looked at me and frowned. "Oh Dia, I'm sorry about your mother. You can stay with us as long as you want," she hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her as I smiled.
"What about my friends. Can they stay too?" Lisa looked behind Grayson and her eyes went wide "oh wow, of course, but you guys wouldn't mind if some of you slept on the floor?"
"Oh course not Mrs. Dolan," Aaron waves and she smiles at him. "Better than paying for a hotel," JJ chuckles. The rest of the group called Uber's. I went in the car with Grayson, Ethan, JJ, Carter and Nash. It was a mini van.
While Mrs. Dolan was driving I admired New Jersey. It was beautiful and somewhat quiet. Well, if you're not out then it's quiet.
"Like?" Ethan questioned as he rested his chin on my shoulder "Yes," I answered as I focused my eyes out the window.
"Cliff Jumping is the best," Grayson spoke from behind me. "You're the first girl to ever see it," I snorted and shook my head.
"That's right," Ethan said giving him a fist bump. When we made it to their house I was amazed. They had a big driveway and that wasn't all as you walked by the garage there was a big yard leading to the other side of the house.
"Jeez, this house is huge," JJ mumbled in front of me. "Yup, this is where we created memories," Grayson said smiling.
"Dang," Carter said smiling.
"Honestly, I would love to grow up here," Nash glanced around their home as the guys just set their things down.
I smiled and walked around. "You guys can explore. We'll get the things out of the car," Sean said heading out the door with a few guys.
I explored the back yard. I went into the garage. It was huge it was like a gym and they had bikes, a motorcycle, and a basketball court.
This place is such a beautiful area. I opened the door leading inside the house. I made it to the kitchen. They had an island and stools surrounding it. I walked in and it lead me to the living room.
I love how the rooms are connected. I made it to a separate room and saw a pool table. "Nice," I mumbled as my finger tips dragged across the thin material. I walked upstairs and I opened a door and they had posters and the bed was still made.
I went in and saw lacrosse gear and somewhat football. I looked at the desk and there were frames of Grayson and Ethan. "This must be Grayson's room," I said to myself. I walked out and opened the next door and I immediately knew it was Ethan's. He had both gears, football and lacrosse.
I sighed and walked out of the room I looked at the pictures they had on the wall that were hung in the hallway. "Perfect family, a family I would of wanted," I mumbled.
I walked downstairs and found Carter and Nash. "Jeez, thank god we found you. We sorta got lost and we were afraid we might not find you anyone else," Carter said laughing
I laughed and made way down the last steps. "This is a huge house indeed," I said looking around.
"I call the couch," Carter ran to the couch and plopped down. A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"I call the other couch," JJ came into the living room, laying down on the other couch in the corner.
"Dibs on Grayson's bed," Nash said running upstairs. "Hey! That's my room!" Grayson shouted as he started running upstairs.
Ethan came into the living room and his eyes immediately landed on me. "So, you. me. my bedroom. together. alone," he said hugging me
I started laughing. "Okay," I said pulling away and smiling at him. I heard the front door open and in came Shawn, Gilinsky, Jack, Cameron, Aaron, Matt, Taylor and Hayes.
"Sup guys," JJ said gave them a peace sign as they each came in as a line. "JJ and I called the couches," Carter raised his hand making the boys sigh in annoyance.
"I'll sleep on the floor," Shawn yawned, heading for his backpack on the floor by the tv.
"Yeah me too," Hayes said walking towards his luggage. They all set the rest of their things on the floor.
"I'm making dinner. If you guys want anything else you guys can go to the store. You can use my car," Lisa said called out from the kitchen.
"Thank you!" We all shouted from the living room.
"Ethan can you take us?" Carter asked
"Yeah, sure," Ethan heading to the kitchen for his moms keys while Carter and JJ stood up and followed Ethan.
I started walking to the back yard admiring. "It's so fucking nice here," I heard a familiar voice.
"It is," I inhaled deeply and glanced at Gilinsky. His eyes kept watching the trees and the yard. We both stayed like that for a few seconds until my phone started ringing. "H-Hold on," I smiled nervously as I answered the phone and walked a few steps away from Gilinsky.
"Hello?" I knitted my brows as I raised my phone to my ear.
"Honey," he paused before saying anything else "Dia, perdona me. I wanted to tell you I really did, but I never really got around to tell you,"
I started tearing up at the sound of my dads voice.
"I wanted to tell you Mija. We were planning to, but your mom got worried that you would get too anxious about it. We didn't want that happening." He sniffled making me wipe away a tear. "We never went on vacation it was all for the treatments, but she started getting worse by the week and she just wanted to give up. Just like that she wasn't in pain, but she just gave up..." Hearing that my mom didn't wanna try anymore made me a little mad. She didn't wanna try to survive... for her husband, her kid. She just gave up like that. I started sobbing and I knew my dad could hear me.
"I know what you're thinking, but if you think of it she knew that by that time treatments weren't gonna work. I love you Día, I love you so much. I have to get back to the planning. I'm adding adjustments on the funeral you tomorrow," he kept sobbing and all I could do was listen.
"Bye dad. I love you." I hung up the phone and looked out onto the trees. My sob came out shaky and silent.
My thoughts got interrupted by a text. It was on Instagram and I looked at it and it was from a Jamie. Jamie is in my art class, but she's the sweetest girl and to be honest she's kinda starting to to get close and I see her as a friend.
Cameron introduced me to her once when Aaron and Cameron invited me to a sleep over at their house. Yeah, when I got there Ethan and Grayson were there. We ended up having things in common.

I locked my phone and started walking inside. I was kinda hoping she'll say yes and come to Jersey.
