A/N: hey yall it's me with a new chp! I guess I should do this, I don't own n e 1 except for the children! DON'T SUE ME! Hope ya like this one! I really don't have n e thing to say about this one except that it's really about everyone and their first day of Thanksgiving break and how they get along and stuff. Ya know? It's not one of my best chapters, but give it time. I've been very busy with soccer practice and piano and clarinet practice. R and R please…I want atleast a hundred reviews for this story! I update daily though or whenever I can! Love ya, Makado! Oh and Goddess Of Silent Tears: I'm afraid that Holly does have to go away, but Eric gets better, trust me!

Everyone had their eyes on me. I looked at them all and sat down. I gulped another glass of water down and took another breath. Ok, I've had only one girlfriend, but we kind of didn't get along because she was ten and I was eleven and she was going to the elementary and I was going to the junior high and it just got complicated. So I'm like really happy.

My dad looked at me and said, "You seem happier than usual. Something go on sometime or other?" I looked at him and said, "No, nothing, I'm fine. There's nothing unusual about me today."

"Yeah…riiight." My mom said and gave me another glass. I gulped it down and she took it away from me and said, "Son that's enough." I laughed and ran upstairs.

I ran into Uncle Ponyboy and Aunt Ana. I waved and ran the rest of the way. I looked at my watch and it said five-fifteen. God it's early! I went up to my room and wrote a poem.

At six-thirty, my mom came in and said to wake up Cory and Kate. I've always asked myself why I had to do this. My friend, Karl, said that it was because they wanna prepare me incase anything happens to them and I have to take care of Kate and Cory. I just told him that he was nuts and that its very unlikely that was happened to my grandparents will happen to my parents.

I shivered at the thought and walked into Cory's room. I shook him awake and took him downstairs. He ran over to my mom and wouldn't let go for life itself. I rolled my eyes and headed toward Kate's room. I guess Kailyn was already up. I shook Kate and she said, "Go away." I backed away for a minute and then stepped in again.

"Kate, Mom said to get up." I said, pulling her out of the bed. She groaned and walked down stairs. I rolled my eyes and followed her.

She ran over to Mom and said, "Hi Mommy. Why does Eric have to get me up so early?"

"Because I said so." She said, picking her up and kissing her forehead.

"What if I don't wanna?" she asked.

"Well that's too bad because it wouldn't be fun if you didn't get dressed and go with us." She said, putting her down.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"It's a surprise." She said. Kate sighed and ran to her room. My guess was that she was going to get dressed or going to lye back down. Either way, she's happy. My mom looked at my dad and gave out a smile. I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch.

Have you ever had one of those mornings when you feel that your family is like totally your heroes and other mornings when they're just annoying. Well, this is one of those mornings. Like when all of my family members are over, it's weird because I don't see them a lot and it's like they are judging me on every move I make.

I sighed and leaned my head back. I was really tired, caused by my lack of sleep. I can't believe that Holly has to move away. I mean her mother can go without her. I know that seems kind of selfish, but I would have ran away by now if it weren't for Holly.

I looked at my arms. The scars were still there from four years ago. I didn't know what I was thinking back then, but Holly made me stopped. She didn't tell my parents, but she did save me. I sighed and ran upstairs.

I signed on my screen name and, automatically, I had five IM's. I have over 100 buddies and fifteen of them were on and only five of them were talking to me. I don't find that suspicious, but what I did find suspicious is that Holly isn't one of those people.

Oklahomaluvin: Hey Holly

I waited and there was no reply.

Oklahomaluvin: ya there?

I waited with no reply. I minimized her chat box and talked to Mario, Katy, Josh, Jacob, and Sears. (A/N: hey that Sears thing is not the store. There's a guy at school named Darrell, but we call him Sears because that's him last night.)

Katy got us all in a private chatroom. There was nothing going on really. Katy and Mario were fighting, Sears and Josh were fighting over the superbowl, and Jacob and I were talking about the math homework that nobody understands.

I argued with Jacob over slope and what not then, Holly finally immed me.

HollyBaby73: hey sry. I had something to do. u should try being patient somedays.

Oklahomaluvin: sry what's botherin u.

HollyBaby73: nothing. Look, I only have an hour then I gotta get off.

Oklahomaluvin: ok

HollyBaby73: so…

Oklahomaluvin: Holly… is something wrong?

HollyBaby73: yeah. I've been thinking about last night a lot. I can't believe I told you. I mean I'm glad I got it off my chest, but it's a little scary ya know?

Oklahomaluvin: well yeah I guess it is. You wanna meet somewhere today?

HollyBaby73: umm… no I have other plans.

Oklahomaluvin: oh ok well I gotta go.

HollyBaby73: ok bye.

Oklahomaluvin: bye.

I signed off and ran downstairs. I saw Karis up along with Johnny, Katherine, and whoever else wasn't up before. For some reason, I think Holly regrets that she told me, but then again I know that she's happy that she did. Ya know what I mean? I can't explain it though, but I just know what I mean.

I sat down on the couch by Kate and my mom. Mom tousled my hair and smiled. I smiled back and looked at the TV. My mom is like obsessed with Lifetime. She thinks that it'll be healthy for Kate in her future.

Everybody joined us on the couch. Ok, this is the part where it gets…well…ugly.

"Katherine! You're sitting on my hand!" Elizabeth yelled.

"Maybe it's not me sitting on your hand, but it's your hand lying where I'm sitting." Katherine said.

"Mom! Dad!" she yelled. Uncle Dally and Aunt Sylvia turned away from each other Uncle Dally said, "What?"

"She won't get off my hand." Elizabeth complained. Aunt Sylvia said, "Did you say please?" Elizabeth and Katherine looked at her with confused faces that says, "What in the hell did she just say?"

Elizabeth said, "Yeah right!" she pinched Katherine's thigh and said, "Now, you little brat, get off of my hand and stay off of it." Katherine winced and got off so Elizabeth could move her hand.

Aunt Ana was holding Karis and reassuring her that her nightmare would not come true no matter what. In a way, I think that Karis is the luckiest kid. She's got good friends, great parents who listen to her, and everything else. I have good friends, but the best one I've got is moving away. I hate my life.

I leaned my head back onto the couch and sighed. I had a headache. I got up and headed to the kitchen to take some aspirin. I swallowed it and gulped my water down.

Dad came in there and said, "If you take anymore of those, you'll end up in the hospital."

I shrugged. I knew he was right. I take atleast two aspirins a day. I don't know why, but it seems that I'm always having headaches so I just take them.

"Eric, it's nothing to shrug about. I don't wanna see you get hurt." He said concerned.

I looked at him. He's never said that to me. it seems like he never cared. He did care. I smiled and said, "I'll stop." Maybe, just maybe, my family doesn't completely ignore. I didn't think he even knew about the aspirin-headache thing. I guess he did.

Hours later, we were all at a restaurant eating and talking. My family talks a lot…a whole lot. I mean, once you get Uncle Sodapop going you can't get him to stop.

"So any ways, like I was telling you, there's this promotion that the boss wants me to do. he said that it pays 10,000 more than my old salary. So I'm just looking at him and I'm thinking that maybe he has me confused with someone else. So I just took the damn job."

Everybody looked at him and he said, "I did!" everybody broke down laughing. My dad said that Uncle Sodapop could get anyone to laugh. No matter how upset or sad they were. Just like Holly.

Aunt Donna whispered something to Uncle Johnny and when they separated, he literally passed out. "Oh my Lord! What in the hell do you mean that you are pregnant!"

"Well thank you for shouting it to the whole restaurant." Aunt Donna said with a laugh.

"I'm sorry. I'm just happy, that's all." He said squeezing her to death. I thought about the thought of Uncle Johnny and Aunt Donna and the "making of babies" and almost choked on my food. That is just one gross thought. I suddenly looked at everyone else and thought of it again and just lost my appetite.

A/N: ok, this chp didn't turn out as well as I wanted it, but w/e. just R and R for me…k? well I gotta go try to get someone over the age of 21 to buy me some cigarettes. I know it's not the best thing before a soccer tournament, but fuck soccer. Just because I'm good at it doesn't mean that I like it. bye!
