Chapter 3

Logan got up and walked downstairs to the kitchen to see Emily passed out on the floor. Logan walked over to his sister and kneeled beside her.

"Em?" Logan asked.

Emily woke up.

"Logan?" Emily asked.

"You were asleep on the floor," Logan said.

"Oh," Emily said. "I woke up early to cook the pumpkin pie."

Emily gasped, got up, and ran over to the over and opened the door. Smoke came from the oven.

"Damn it!" Emily shouted. "I've ruined the pie!"

"It'll be okay," Logan said. "We can just..."

"Just go get ready for the parade," Emily said.

Logan walked out of the kitchen and heard the doorbell ring. He then walked over to the door to see his grandmother, Mary standing there.

"Grandma?" Logan asked.

"My poor grand baby!" Mary exclaimed. "I can't believe my son and daughter-in-law kicked you out! It's okay. Grandma's here!"

Mary hugged Logan tightly.

"Emily!" Logan hollered. "Grandma's here!"

Emily walked out of the kitchen.

"Grandma," Emily said surprised. "I thought you were spending the holiday in Hawaii."

Mary let go of Logan and walked over to Emily.

"I couldn't bare the thought of my grandchildren spending the holiday alone without family," Mary said. "I'm so mad at parents for what they did to Logan!"

Mary pointed at Logan.

"You listen to me, Logan," Mary said. "Don't ever let anyone tell you who love. It's okay to be gay. If this Ephram makes you happy, then I'm happy."

"Thanks, Grandma," Logan said.

"You're welcome," Mary said.

Mary looked at Emily.

"Now give your grandma a hug," Mary said.

Emily gave Mary a hug.

"Oh, Grandma," Emily said. "I burnt the pie."

"It's okay," Mary said. "I brought pie."

Half an hour later, Logan showed up at Ephram's house. He knocked, and Ephram opened the door, standing there in his crutches.

"Hey," Logan said. "Get dressed."

"For what?" Ephram asked.

"The parade," Logan replied. "You can't wear your Star Wars pajamas on a Thanksgiving float."

"I can't be in the parade," Ephram said. "I'm not even on the team right now."

"They want you," Logan said. "Besides, I'll break up with you if you don't."

"No you won't," Ephram said.

"You're right," Logan said. "I won't. But please be in the parade."

"Fine," Ephram said. "For you."

Logan and Ephram smiled at each other.
