Artemis: Omg. When are you bringing her home?
Emerson: You all realize it’s only been two days. TWO. And you guys might scare her
Giovanna: *sends a sad kitty gif*
Emerson: …
Easton: hahaha
Lorenzo: Are you all coming back before the first race?
Elias: That’s the plan. I think we’re leaving tomorrow? Or the next day
Apollo: Don’t forget to bring Sawyer and River
It’s official. My family has lost their minds.
“Are you going to ask Sawyer?” Ezra asks.
“Yeah, but I worry she’ll say no or say she can’t afford it. I don’t want her to pay for it, but I don’t know if she’ll let me pay for it either.”
“Isn’t she from Chicago? Maybe she’ll want to visit her family?” Easton asks.
“I don’t think so, I asked her about her family and she said they’re not close and she wouldn’t be visiting them. I don’t know the story yet, but she did seem a little sad when she said it.”
“Shit. That makes me sad. You all are a pain in my ass, but I don’t know what it would be like without everyone.”
I nod. “Yeah, that’s how I felt when she told me.”
“Well, now she has a family,” our da says as he joins us.
“Will I get to meet Sawyer and River tonight?” my mama asks.
“Yes, I’m picking them up at five and I’ll bring them here.”
“I’m really excited. I was thinking of ordering in. We can wait till they get here to see what kind of food they want.”
I love my mama, she’s the most selfless person I know. And I know that even if Sawyer decided that she didn’t want to be with me, she’d still have a family.
Sawyer
When Emerson told everyone that we were dating, it kind of freaked me out. Because I thought we were just going to go out on our first date. But the way he made it seem was like we’re a couple. Even though it freaked me out a bit, I liked it at the same time. And the reaction of the guys made me feel so good. Like it wouldn’t bother any of them that we’re dating. I expected them to be mad or something along those lines. I certainly didn’t expect them to be happy about it.
“Come on, River. We have to get ready, Emerson will be here in a few minutes.”
“Otay, Mama. Can I wear my motocycle jersey?”
“Of course you can, do you need help getting it on?”
“No I’m a big boy. I can do it.” I hear him giggling.
I smile as I head to his room to check on him. I find him on the floor with one arm in his jersey and the other one stuck in the neck hole with his head. As he’s still giggling, I snap a picture. I love to see the smile on his face
Sawyer: River’s getting ready *pic of him on the floor*
Emerson: HAHAHAH. He’s so damn adorable, can I share this with my family?
Sawyer: Of course. Lol
