A/N. Thankyou for the reviews guys, I love ya, you make me wanna write and write and write! Anyway this is especially for you.
I have a feeling this maybe a little boring but I wanted to make it all about Riley's family, hopefully it will shed some light on her family life… Enjoy xx
Luckily for me I managed to make my excuses the night before with Taylor, I was still feeling way to banged up to be going out dancing at a club and drinking. Thankfully she understood although only if I promised that next time would be a definite and wouldn't make any excuses.
Today was Thursday and I was due at Mom and Dads for dinner, there was no way in hell I would have been able to get out of that one so I didn't even try, beside I was looking forward to seeing them, I hadn't seem my brothers in ages and I missed them.
I set off armed with a bunch of flowers for Mom from Florida at 4 and made it to Mom and Dads just on time.
"Here she is here's my champion!" Dad yelled as he came outside to meet me as I got out of my car. I laughed as I walked over to him; he had always called me his champion ever since I started wrestling. Dad put his arm around me and we headed inside.
"Hey guys!" I greeted as we entered the kitchen where Mom was slaving away over the stove. Mom almost knocked me over with the hug she gave me, she held onto me for dear life.
"Oh Riley honey I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Mom what are you talking about, you know I'm okay I phoned you as soon as I got your message and told you!" I laughed, making a crazy notion to my brother waiting his turn for a hug.
"I know but it's been so long since you've been home, besides I am your Mother you know, it's my job to worry about my children!" Mom stated as I handed her the flowers. "Oh thankyou honey, they're beautiful." She said with them in her arms as she rushed to get them into water.
"So what did you think of my match then squirt," I asked turning to my younger brother Jake. You can always guarantee a good ol' conversation about wrestling with him; he was 15 and had the wrestling bug big time.
"Gee's Ri it was so incredible! I can't believe it was my sister!" he told me excitedly.
"Oh thanks Jake, was that a compliment or not?" I laughed, it wasn't quite clear to me. "Do you still have it recorded?"
"Yeah of course we do, I've watched it again already this morning! Why do you want to watch it with me?"
"Hell yeah I haven't seen it yet, but after dinner though okay, Ma's head might explode of something if we start watching it now…" I told him in a whisper as I bent down to reach his ear.
"Okay but Riley just one question…"
"Shoot squirt…"
"What was it like wrestling Jeff Hardy? It must have been amazing, remember when we watched TLC match Summerslam together, both of us said how super cool it would be to be in the ring with Jeff Hardy!"
"You've seen me wrestle him before."
"Yeah I know but nothing like that!"
"I know it was a good one wasn't it, he was definitely on form, it was pretty difficult at time because he's just so fast!"
"Yes but at times my little champion was faster!" Dad added with a huge smile on his face.
"I was just happy that you weren't fighting that horrible man with the mask…" Mum sighed as we watched her arrange the flowers in a vase.
"So anyway, where's Ryan? Is he coming for dinner?"
Ryan is my elder by two years, that makes him 25. Like me Ryan doesn't live at home either, he doesn't live far away though. He lives with his girlfriend Jenna; they're getting married next year.
"Yup he's coming, he'll be here soon." Jake told me.
"Cool, is Jenna coming?" I asked hopefully. "I haven't seen her in ages!"
"No she can't make it, she had to work or something…"
"Riley! Tell me more about Jeff Hardy! Why aren't you more excited about it?"
"Jake I am, let me just sit down first my back is killing me."
"So you are hurt then Champ?" Dad asked.
"Not badly, I've just got a few bumps, which is to be fair t be expected after the way I wrestled. You all saw it then?"
"Yes we all watched it here, Ryan and Jenna came around, so did Grandma and Gramps…"
"Aww really, I'm glad you all saw it guys."
"How's the first few days off been then?" Dad asked sitting down at the table next to me.
"Really weird actually, I don't have anything to do. All my choirs which usual take me all week have been done in a day!"
"Hey guys!" We suddenly heard someone yell from the hallway. It was Ryan he entered the kitchen and came straight over to me to give me a hug. "That match was so good sis; I can't believe you've given it up."
"Ryan don't start; tell me about your wedding plans instead..."
"Wedding plan? Egh I've had enough of wedding talk, it's driving me mad."
This was a typically family tradition for the Green family. When they all live at home this was how it was most dinner times. They had always been a close family and all found it easy to talk to one and other. Riley was more than proud with her family, there wasn't many people she knew who had both parents together. She was very grateful for having a family as close as this.
Later on they sat down for dinner with Riley still as the topic as well as Ryan's wedding. All were around the dining room table, in the same seats they sat in when they were younger.
After the very large meal Riley and Ryan washed up while the other went and relaxed in the living room. Riley hated doing the dished she always had but I was a good chance to get some alone time with her elder brother. The three siblings had always been close, but being closer in age Riley and Ryan had somewhat of a special bond.
"So Jenna's okay then is she? I seem like forever since I last saw her!"
"Yeah she'd doing great so really misses you to, she was quite upset when she couldn't get the time off work to come here today."
"Tell her I'll give her a call sometime…" Ryan and Jenna had been childhood sweethearts from school. Jenna was Riley's best friend and were in the same year together.
"So the plans are getting a little too much for ya are they bro?" I laughed as I splashed him with bubbles.
"Only ever so slightly… it was such a joyful day yesterday, we choose the centre pieces!" Ryan told me sarcastically.
"Ry it is going to be your wedding day, things have to be chosen in detail!"
"Riley! Are you finished yet? I want you to come and watch this match with me!" Jake shouted from the other room.
"Gee's that kid never gives up!"
"You should have seen him watching it; he was practically hanging from the lights!"
"I'm coming kiddo!" I yelled back.
We all watched the match again together and Jake gave me his in depth view, he's so cute! But then I had to head home.
"So then guys I guess I'll be seeing you soon…" I told then all as I got to my feet.
"What you're going already?" Mom moaned.
"Yeah sorry I have too."
I said my good byes to them all and promised I'd be around next week. I headed out he door and they all followed me to wave good bye.
A/N Sorry about this chapter guys, I'm really not to happy about it… don't worry thought I make a promise to you all that it'll get a hundred times better!
