A/N: What a shocker in the last chapter huh? I'd just like to say I wish people would read the story before they judge me and my character. I hate when I have to explain things to people when they should have just read the story, and I f you don't like the story don't read it. For all the people who like this story I'm sorry for rambling on and on.
"Thanks for breakfast Ebony, and we will see you at your house for Christmas" Mrs. O'Neill said shutting her room door . Ebony just smiled and nodded. She looked back at John and said.
" We have a plane to catch"
Ebony was fidgety all through the flight and John was fast asleep. When they landed Ebony was even worse then she was on the plane. " There is my dad, Yo Dad!" John said sticking his arm in the air so his dad could see him through the dense crowd of people. John helped pull Ebony through the crowd till they reached Mr. Cena.
" Hi John" said Mr. Cena giving his sun a hug. He looked away from John to Ebony with a smile " Ebony its been a long time since I've seen your pretty face" he said shaking her hand.
" Thanks Mr. Cena" Ebony said " Oh don't use that you know me too well, Call me John" He said. Ebony smiled and remembered all the kindness Mr. Cena had given her as a young girl.
" So Where are they?" John asked as they walked to pick up their luggage.
" Where are who?" Mr. Cena asked.
" Dan, Steve, Matt, and Boug"
" Ahh your brothers are at home, hopefully finishing the turkey" Mr. Cena and John both laughed when Ebony's cell phone rang.
" Hey Cali whats up?" Ebony said knowing exactly who it was from the caller I.D.
" Guess what?" she said " What?" Ebony replied.
" Your Dream House is for sale!" Cali screamed loud enough for John and his dad to hear.
" Oh wow thats cool but what am I suppose to do?" asked Ebony giving a sideways glance at John.
" Buy it silly! I figure if you sell your and with your income you could buy it" Cali told her.
" Cali I don't make that much money, I have enough money for what I have now and thats all I need"
Ebony finished.
" Well come up here as soon as you can so at least you can see the inside. They are having and open house every weekend until it is sold. Well I got to go to the Doctors, I'll talk to you later"
" Are you sick?" Ebony asked.
" Oh thats the other thing I called to tell you, I'm Pregnant" Cali said with excitement " No way! Oh My God" Ebony started to jump around the airport lobby like a lunatic. John stared at her like she was going mad " I will be up there as soon as I can ok? Bye" Ebony said and snapped the phone shut.
As they were driving to John's house Ebony could remember everything all over again. They even past the old high school. They pulled into the street and suddenly Ebony's old house came floating by. She was scared to be back home. Ebony was always the tomboy that always new how to be a girl at heart. She was a girlie-girl but didn't care if she got all muddy playing football. She was constantly teased and hated by the girls but the boys adored her. She was pretty and could play sports. To the boys she was the perfect girl. John never liked to date so she would always go out and hang around with the guys. John was always shy around her and she never knew why. Just as she was strolling through memory lane she was snapped back out.
" Yo Eb, Hello" John said waving his hand in her face. " We are here" John finished. Ebony knew the house all to well. Her and John were always the best of friends and John's brothers treated her like a sister. They walked trough the door and she was met with the smell of a good old fashion Thanksgiving meal.
" O it smells wonderful in here" Ebony said.
" Is that Ebony I hear?" someone from the kitchen asked. Four heads popped into the doorway of the kitchen.
" It is" said Steven. They boys all gave a group hug and everyone went back to the kitchen. Ebony started to help out and the John and his brothers went to living room to chat for awhile.
" Wow I thought with the way you were so shy, I never thought you would land a girl that hot" Steven said.
" Thanks, but she was always hot" John said.
" Yeah but she wouldn't wear jeans like that" Matt said. The boys all laughed.
" Oh and I thought your were to focused on your career to be going out with people, and frankly I think you should have stuck to you own words" Dan said. Matt, Steven, and Boug looked at Dan as if he had grown three heads. John just looked down at the floor.
" why?" asked John " well look what your doing... Fighting the same person over and over and then both of you saving each others asses. It kind of makes you two look like you can't handle doing your job" Dan finished.
" Dinner is ready" Ebony said with a warm smile.
Everyone was quite at the table as they ate their Thanksgiving dinner. The only ones talking were Mr.
Cena and Ebony. Every time Ebony looked at John he would just look at his food and eat it mechanically.
" Ok boys you better get going to your mom's house you know she doesn't like you being late" Mr. Cena said. The boys all got up and grabbed their coats and began to walk out the door. " John are you forgetting something or maybe someone?" Mr. Cena said " Oh sorry Ebony, Coming?" John asked.
" No you go I'll stay." Ebony said feeling heartbroken. John came back and gave her a kiss and he left.
" Don't worry he probably has a lot on his mind with work and all" Mr. Cena said and began to clean up.
" I'm going to the laundry mat , I'll be back in awhile" Ebony said.
" Don't be silly you can wash your things here" Mr. Cena said from the kitchen.
Ebony had finished washing her clothes and sat on the living room in one of the single seats just staring at the blank t.v. screen. She didn't get it, John had been acting weird ever since the night of the contract signing. Soon she had fallen asleep crying in the living room. Mr. Cena had gone to bed too after everything was cleaned up. Soon car headlights flashed through the living room windows. The boys all walked up the stairs and went to their rooms. John and Dan went to their room.
" Ebony isn't here" John said noticing she wasn't in the room she was told she would be sleeping in. Dan just shrugged his shoulders and went to bed. John went back downstairs and looked in the dinning room, the kitchen and finally the living room. He found Ebony sleeping in a chair. He noticed the smudged marks on her face from crying and decided not to wake her. He grabbed a throw blanket from the couch and placed it on her. He went over to the couch and fell asleep right when his head touched the cushion.
