Now time for the story!
Andromeda's pov
I was just about to collapse from exhaustion, from walking and running from class to class. I sighed, getting up from a chair in my last class, looking at the time, 4:01. I grab out my phone and start to text Adam.
"Hey, Adam, I'm heading to the store, just tell me if you need anything for tomorrow." I send, my knees wobbling from sitting so long.
I shut down my laptop and stuff it in my backpack.
"Um... I trust you enough to get the right things... sorry if I'm not very helpful... I'm just you know... not used to it... if you need to know how many people are coming probably at most ten." He replies.
I immediately face palm, walking out of the class, replying with, " *facepalms* smart dood, real smart. so I'll just get stuff people normally get for it and brine the turkey tonight. see ya later."
He replied, "okay, just text me if you have questions."
When I was reading it I bumped into someone and fell to the ground. I shake my head, and someone offers their hand to help me up. I accept it and stand up.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going." I say, my face flushing in embarrassment.
I look up at the stranger who helped me up. He has soft brown hair and eyes, he was taller than me by about five inches or so. His hair was up, not spiked like a faux-hawk, but something similar to it. He smiles, showing straight white teeth. He wore a long sleeved shirt, with jeans and tennis shoes. He was cute, I guess.
"No, I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going either." He says, studying me.
I hold out my hand, "Andromeda."
He smiles and takes it, "Colin."
I smile in return, "See you around?"
"Sure, but can I have your number?" He asks, eyes shining with interest.
I nod, and enter my number in his phone.
"Not from around here eh?" He says, looking at my area code.
I laugh, "Not when I got that plan."
He laughs, "Well, I'll see you around."
"Yep, bye!" I say cheerfully, walking to my car.
I started it, and went to the store. As I entered the store I realized I didn't know if anyone was bringing anything. I quickly texted Adam, asking him. He said Steve was bringing green bean casserole. Palmer was bringing some creamed corn and rolls. (i freaking love it, it's amazing and my favorite food to eat during thanksgiving, behind it is turkey, mashed potaters, and rolls, coz I can!) I mentally check those items off my list. I grab an thirteen pound turkey, along with some lemons, limes, salt and pepper to brine the turkey. I then grab some potatoes, and a few more things to go along with it. I grab some macaroni, some cheese, and some more stuff to make macaroni and cheese and macaroni salad. I also grab cranberries, and a few more items.
Time skip (coz i don't think it would be very interesting to read about Andromeda shopping for food)
I go up to the cash register, and after waiting about five minutes for the cashier to scan all of the items I can finally pay for them.
"And your total will be 101.02. Will that be cash or credit?" The cashier asks, a bored look on her face.
"Debit actually," I say handing her the card.
She swipes it, handing me it back along with a receipt. I took the cart after someone loaded it up with my stuff. I walk out of the store, going to my car, and stuff all the stuff into the trunk. I put the cart away and got in my car. I go to Marie Calender's to buy some pie.
Once I get there I order a pumpkin pie, key lime pie, and pecan pie, and cornbread. (tbh i love their cornbread...) I pay for it and walk out, putting them into the passengers side. I get in the car again and look at the time, 6:27. I sigh, and start driving towards Adam's house. It's amazing I can still feel my legs, I was so tired, and people kept staring at the bruise on my nose. Well, everyone except Colin. He seemed like a nice guy.
I finally get to Adam's house and knock on the door, carrying four bags of groceries. Adam opened the door, noticed all of the bags, and the open trunk, and rushed to help. After five minutes of getting everything out of the trunk and putting everything away except the stuff to brine the turkey, I ask Adam if he has a cooler and if he could bring it inside. He nods, and goes to search his garage.
I trudge up the stairs, going into the guest bathroom, and searching the medicine cabinet for some Advil. My head pounded, and I gripped the counter. I take a deep breath, grabbed the Advil and took it. I sigh, and walk downstairs, nodding to Annika as I pass her. I go into the kitchen and see Adam cleaning the cooler, I nod to him muttering, "thanks."
I grab the cooler after he's done cleaning it and fill it with water, I then put the turkey in the water, shaking salt and pepper in there as well. I then grab a cutting board, grab the lemons and lime and start to cut them. After I cut them I put it in the water, and started to wash my hands. I then stare down at my brine, realizing it was the same brine my grandmother used when I was younger. I gripped the counter, and squeezed my eyes shut, letting the sharp pain come and go quickly.
I look up after the pain, seeing Adam was still there, looking at me with worry.
"Are you okay?" He asks.
"I-I'm fine, just tired." I lied, though it was slightly true.
I trudged to the couch and flopped on it. Adam came over and picked me up. I groaned.
"Nope, if I've been letting you stay in my room for the past few days then guess where you're sleeping." He says, putting me in the guest room, "Get some pajamas on, then you are going to sleep in my bed."
I nod, and walk to my bag, getting some pj's and walking to the bathroom. I changed and brushed my teeth. I trudged out of the bathroom and found Adam waiting for me. He picked me up bridal style and walked over to his room, kicking the door open, and placed me on the bed, and placed the covers on top of me.
I barely heard Adam say, "Good night," before falling asleep.
My dream was when I was about 10 or so, and it was around Thanksgiving. I knew this because my ten year old self was there, watching my grandma brine a turkey. I always was a curious one, and asked a lot of questions to her. She always answered, no matter the question.
I smiled, the memory was a good one, before everything went to hell. I woke up, a headache pounding into my head. I groaned, and looked at the time. 3:41. I got up, stretched, and decided I would go for a swim. I quietly exited the room and went to the guest room. Annika was passed out on the bed, her hair all over the place and a tiny stream of drool coming out of her mouth. I giggled softly and went to my bag, pulling out my bikini. I then went to the bathroom, changing quickly. I wrapped a towel around myself and quietly went downstairs and through the living room.
I exited through the back door and looked out at the lake. I shivered slightly, knowing that it could be 40 degrees. I dropped the towel on the ground and walked towards the dock, putting my feet in the water before dropping in. The cold water woke me up instantly, and my head ache lightened up a bit. After ten minutes of staying in the water I got out, and reached for the towel, drying myself off. I slowly opened the door, putting the towel on my shoulders.
I saw Adam slowly sit up from off the couch and stare at me.
