Thanksgiving

Joe and Hannah are still friends. Neither one of them have asked each other out because they're afraid of ruining their friendship. Nick and Rachel have been going out for three months and on Nick's birthday, Rachel became his girlfriend. The "Sullivan" and Neiman families have grown close and are spending Thanksgiving together. Kevin is coming to L.A. to spend thanksgiving with his family. Sara is coming into town to spend thanksgiving with her friends. I didn't mention that the Neiman's had three daughters. Hannah, Rachel and a little eight year old named Brooke. She's Frankie's age.


Rachel's POV

Hannah was in the kitchen with mom cooking the thanksgiving dinner, while my sister, Brooke, my dad and I tidyed up the house before the Sullivan's came over. I heard Kevin's coming in from college. I couldn't wait to meet him. I'm interrupted in my thoughts by the doorbell ringing. I opened the door to Sara.

"Hey Sara! I haven't seen you in so long."

I gave her a hug." So, how've you been?"

"I've been fabulous. You?"

"The same, oh by the way, I have a boyfriend now. His family is coming over for dinner tonight."

"oh la la, is it that cute guy you were telling me about? Tell me more!"

"He's just simply… amazing."

"Aww... Where's Bonanza?" (A.N. nickname for Hannah)

"She's in the kitchen."

Sara wondered into the kitchen and when I heard screaming, I knew Hannah had seen her. The doorbell rang a second time. I opened the door to Joe, who gave me a hug and walked into the house. He was followed by Mr. Sullivan. Then, Mrs. Sullivan, who was carrying mashed potatoes, following close behind was Frankie, Nick's little brother.

Finally, my boyfriend, Nick, came through the door. He threw his arms around my waist, kissed me sweetly and said,"Hello Beautiful."

"Hey cutie, how's my Nick been?

"He's been fine, I mean, I've been fine, you?"

"Missin' you. Come on in."

He let go of my waist and immediately grabbed my hand. We walked into the kitchen.

Sara looked at me, then at our intertwined fingers, and then back at me. "Is this the cute boy you were talking about?"

"Yeah, this is Nick."

I looked at Nick, smiled, and he smiled back, too. I looked back at Sara, she was about to say something when the doorbell rang yet again.

"I'll get it."

I walked to the door with Nick still holding my hand. I open the door to see a boy, about 21, brown straight hair, green eyes. I assumed he's Kevin Sullivan.

"Hey! You must be Kevin."

I shook his hand with my free hand.

"I'm Rachel."

"Nice to meet my brother's girlfriend, finally."

I laughed and Nick gives his brother a one-arm hug, stressing that he's not going to let go of my hand.

"Let me show you to the kitchen."

We walked into the kitchen and I said, "Kevin's here!"

Joe looked up from what Hannah and him are doing and he ran over to Kevin and gave him a hug.

"I've missed you man." Joe pulled away.

"I've missed your jokes man. I don't laugh much anymore."

Mrs. Sullivan came next, giving her son a hug and a kiss and said," I've missed you so much sweetheart."

"I've missed you too, mom."

Mr. Sullivan walked up to Kevin, gave him a hug also. "I've missed you, son."

"Missed you too, dad."

Frankie ran up to Kevin and hugged his leg.

"Kevin! Are you gonna stay for awhile?"

"Just a week and then I go back to college ok?"

"Ok"

"Hey, did you get that webkinz I sent you?" Kevin said.

"Yes, I play with it everyday."

"Good."

I walked over to Kevin, still holding Nick's hand and introduced him to everyone else. I pointed to everyone and said, "Kevin, this is Hannah, Joe's friend and my sister. This is my little sister Brooke. This is my dad Brandon and my mom Grace. Finally this is my friend, Sara. Everyone this is Kevin."

Kevin responded," Nice to meet everyone."

He walked up to Sara and said...


Kevin's POV

I rang the doorbell to a house that isn't my own, another family that's friends with mine. It's opened by a light brown-haired girl with bright blue eyes. My brother is attached to her. She brightly spoke up and said, "Hey! You must be Kevin." She shook my hand with her free hand. They must literally be attached to each other. "I'm Rachel."

I reply, "Nice to meet my brother's girlfriend, finally."

She laughed and Nick gave me a one-arm hug. Yeah, that confirms it; there are both crazy for each other. Rachel walked me into the kitchen and announced my arrival. All my family comes up and tells me that they missed me and Rachel introduced me to everyone.

When she pointed to her beautiful friend, I knew I had to get to know her. I walked up to her and said, "Hey I'm Kevin."

She giggled and replied, "So I've heard."

Oh yeah, right, Rachel just introduced us. "Yeah, sorry. So your name's Sara? That's a beautiful name."

"Thanks. I've heard from Hannah you've been off at college, what one?"

"Berkeley."

"Really? I go there too! I'm majoring in musical theatre. What are you majoring in?"

"Music composition."

"Wow! So is my annoying twin brother, Eric."

"Sweet, maybe I could meet him sometime. How long are you staying in town?"

"A week."

"Cool, maybe we could get to know each other. How about tomorrow?"

"Are you asking me on a date?"

"Only if you say yes."

"Sure. How about tomorrow at TCBY?" (A.N. The Country's Best Yogurt is an ice cream place where I live so I incorporated it into my story)

"Sounds great."

Then Mrs. Neiman called us to dinner. The dinner was delicious and I talked to Sara for awhile before my family left their house to go to ours.


Sara's POV

Kevin Sullivan. huh? He's really cute! Rachel said after the Sullivan's left, "Are you too old to have a sleepover?"

"No."

"Alright! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"

Hannah looked annoyed."Little too much Mountain Dew?!"

"NO!"

"I'll take that as a yes!"

I had to get my stuff from my hotel and take it over to the Neiman's. We had our slumber parties like we used to have them. When we got into boys, I had to ask Rachel about her boyfriend. "So... what's up with you and Nick?

"What do you mean 'what's up?"

"The status of your relationship. How you met, how'd he ask you to be his girlfriend, stuff like that."

"Oh, ok. Well, we met when he came to our school from somewhere in New Jersey and I gave him a tour of the school. I met Joe that same day. He asked me on his birthday. I took him out to dinner and a movie. At the restaurant, in front of everyone, he asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Aww.. that's so cute! Hannah onto you and Joe."

"What? I'm not dating Joe!"

"Well you like him! I can see it."

Hannah looked like she knew what I was talking about. She sighed in defeat. "Yeah, I do like Joe."


Hannah's POV

I spill everything about me liking Joe. Sara and Rachel sat and listened. After I had finished, Sara had her I-have-a-plan look on.

"You know you have to ask him out." She said.

"No! What if he doesn't like me back?" I asked.

"Hannah, I've only known him for a few hours and he likes you too! It's written all over his face." She told me.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"The doorbell!" Hannah said. (A.N. like in the video lol)

All three of us went to get it. There, standing in the doorway were Janey and Jessie. Janey walked in and said, "Sorry were late, but SOMEBODY just had to get frozen yogurt on the way over here!"

Jessie looked offended, "Well, you weren't complaining when you ate like half of it!"

Janey looked guilty, so she let it slide. We all filled Janey and Jessie in on what we were talking about.

When we got to Joe and I, Jessie stopped us. "Hannah, I see the way he looks at you. He likes you back, just ask him out!"

Sara smiled and said, "I know! That's what I told her!" (A.N. Their circle of friends made up a secret handshake [Looks like Joe and Stella's])

Sara and Jessie did the handshake, and messed up horribly. Sara didn't remember it. Rachel and Janey retought her. Ten minutes later, Sara and Jessie did it again and it was awesome.

I sang," You... Just wasted... Ten minutes of our lives!

We all laughed.

"I'm going to go get some popcorn" I said, "Lets watch a movie."

I stood up and tripped on the rug and fell flat on my face. Everyone laughed.

Sara said, "Oh yeah! You and Joe are perfect for each other; funny, but clumsy at the same time."

I fake laughed for three seconds and then deadpanned, "Shut up!"

I walked into the kitchen and made popcorn for all of us. We watched The Proposal. The next morning, I called Joe.

J- Hola! you've reached Joe!
H- Really Joe... Really? (A.N. lol Sonny from Sonny with a Chance)
J- Hey! Hannah. Whats up?
H- Nothing much, you?
J- Same. So why'd you call?
H- Oh, yeah, well, I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the park with me today.
J- Sure Banana. When?
H- How about in ten?
J- Ok. Meet you in ten!
H- Adios!
J- De nada!
H- What? Joe, De nada means thank you.
J- I know.
H- *laughs* You're so strange, Joseph.
J- Hey!
H- You know I'm joking!
J- I know. See ya!
H- Bye.
