SAWYER'S POV
We have been sitting here watching movies for the last four hours and my eyes were starting to burn. The credits of the last movie were rolling and I began to rub my eyes.
"Need. Movie. Break." Elizabeth said as she put her feet to the ground.
"Agreed!" Everyone called as Kendall turned the TV off.
"Good, I need to work on my project anyway." Logan said getting up and walking over to the dinner table.
The rest of us shared a vacant look before shrugging our shoulders, getting up, and moseying on over to where Logan was sitting. Except for Elizabeth, who had made a pit stop at the refrigerator to get a bottle of water before sitting in the last available seat that was next to James.
"Did you guys know," Logan started, getting a nonverbal collective groan from all of us as we rolled our eyes, though we always let him finish because that's just who he is, "Jupiter rotates faster than any planet in the Solar System. It rotates so fast that the days are only 10 hours long." He finished as he picked up his pencil.
"No, but I wished I lived on Jupiter." Elizabeth said opening her bottle.
"Why's that?" Logan asked as he began to write things down.
"I'd be weightless…" She mumbled.
I don't think anyone was supposed to catch that and I think only a few of us did. James, sitting right next to her, had given off a confused look and shifted his eyes to her. Me, I'm the best friend and I always hear when words of the negative state fall from her mouth. Jo, whose is a girl and catches things like that, narrowed her eyes. Camille probably would have caught it if she wasn't so wrapped up in Logan.
"What?" Lagan asked not hearing her.
She shook her head slightly, "Nothing…" She replied taking a drink from her water.
I kept my eyes narrowed while I looked to her before shaking it off, "Did you know that I lost a bunch of weight using Jenny Craig?" I asked causing Elizabeth to smile widely holding back a laugh.
"Really?" Kendall asked with everyone looking to me.
"Heck no, but it got you thinking." I smiled which had started a chain reaction for everyone to smile.
I'd be weightless there…
I sighed deeply. Her four words kept ringing in my ears, and I don't mean ring in the sense that it was like my favorite Beatles song.
I'd be weightless there…
Something about that comment didn't sit right with me. I mean why would Elizabeth say something like that? She's never had problems with her weight. I would know; we grew up together. To me she was still LizzyBear, my best friend and favorite wrestling enthusiast who eats like a trucker.
LA has changed her…
But I didn't think it had changed her that much.
Hopefully it's just an outlet; she tends to do that sometimes…
By that time I had fallen completely out of whatever conversation was being held without me. I looked to Elizabeth. She had a small smile on her face and was looking over to…Carlos. She looked away right on time for Carlos to look at her. I'm not sure how this is going to play out…I just hope it plays out soon. Elizabeth will need something to pull her out of this.
"Sawyer, speak!" Someone pulled me from my thoughts.
"…Yeah?" I asked looking around the table to find the source of the voice.
"You okay over there?" Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at me.
"I'm fine." I replied.
Elizabeth kept her eyes narrowed as the front door burst open. We all jumped and looked to see Mrs. Knight and Katie walk in the multiple pizza boxes.
"Who's hungry?" Mrs. Knight shouted with a smile on her face.
We all shouted, nothing in particular, as we all rushed over to Mrs. Knight as she set the pizza down on the kitchen counter. All, with the exception of Elizabeth…
ELIZABETH'S POV
Everyone jumped at the smell of pizza filling the room. I stayed seated, biting at my bottom lip, staring at the table. I was hoping that the more I sat still the faster everyone else would turn into T-Rex's making my stillness become my very own invisibility cloak.
"Come on, Elizabeth. Get it while it's hot!" Mama Knight called.
…Epically failed…
"Uhm," I said trying to think up an excuse, "you go ahead and get yours. It's a little crowded in there…" I sputtered out.
"Oh-no, Mama doesn't eat til all the cubs are fed." She replied.
She's serious and she means well…go!
I quietly sighed, as if eating one slice of pizza was going to kill me, and got up. I walked over to the pack of animals I called my friends and Mama Knight handed me a plate. I weakly smiled and turned to the pizza.
"Hey Elizabeth," Katie smiled as most of the crowd made their way back over to the table, "we got your favorite." She smiled sliding one of the boxes over to me.
I opened the box and there it was. A large meat loves pizza with extra cheese and bacon. I couldn't stop the small smile that was starting to form. The smile had switched to a grin as I shifted my eyes to Katie, "Thanks, guys." I said instantly taking two of the largest pieces.
Katie smiled as I joined the rest of the group at the table.
"How's the song going, Elizabeth?" Carlos asked starting our own conversation apart from everyone else as I sat down and he took a bite from his slice pizza.
"Trust me," I laughed, "that is the farthest thing from my mind." I replied taking a bite from my pizza.
As I pulled my bite away from the rest of the slice the cheese dangled down slightly making a bridge to close the gap. I smiled and played "let's see how much cheese I can make into my mouth before it hits the plate…" with it ending at a score of barley anything.
I looked over to Carlos to see that had was playing the same game that I had just been playing. He looked over to me with a matching cheese beard on his chin. We both got a good look at each other and burst into laughter as we got the cheese off of our chins.
"So what movie are we watching next?" Sawyer asked as he took a bite of his pizza.
"Zorro?" Jo suggested.
"Zorro Zorro Zorro Zorro Zorro! I say a million times yes!" I shouted slamming a hand down to the table with my eyes wide.
After my brain caught up with my mouth, making me realize what I had just done, I closed my mouth and slowly sat back in my seat shifting my eyes around the table looking to the different reactions my outburst had gotten. The only reaction that wasn't shocked as hell was the only one who expected it, Sawyer. He had a smile on his face and an eyebrow raised. He knows it's my favorite movie…
"I uh…really wanna watch Zorro…" I said in my inside voice.
"Well then, Zorro it is." Logan said as a smile grew across his face from my excitement.
"Someone put it in…now." Everything got pretty intense after Zorro was agreed upon.
"We're not allowed to eat in front of the TV." Kendall rained on my parade.
"…But…they eat pie in front of the TV all the time! I've seen them do it!" I argued pointing to James and Carlos whose eyes got wide in mid bite of their pizza.
"No meals in front of the TV." Kendall corrected himself.
I turned to face Mama Knight, who was still in the kitchen trying to sort through all of the pizza boxes, "Mama Knight," I called.
"Yes, dear?" She called back looking up from the pizza box in front of her.
"May we please sit in front of the TV while we eat?" I asked hopeful.
"I think you all should stay at the table while you eat." She replied in that mom-ish way they have.
I didn't want to have to do this…
I broke out the big guns. Upon seeing this be done for the first time I had to learn how to do it myself. I had gotten Katie to teach me the big brown eyesroutine she does when needed. So far I have only been able to get it to work on my Dad…mainly because I've only used it on my Dad.
Mama Knight's face twitched with weakness, this was only going to work if I hit her full on with it. I pouted my lips as if I had just heard something spiteful about me and was about to cry. Her eye twitched as the other one stayed strong…but not for long.
"Okay! Got eat in front of the TV!" Mama Knight gave up.
We all cheered and headed for the couch. As I passed Katie I was sure to fist bump her as to say Thanks. She returned it with a smile as to say Gets 'em every time.
"So what's your deal with Zorro?" Camille asked with a light laugh from what I could only guess was my outburst.
"I love it." Was my simple reply as I took a bite of pizza.
"Why though?"
"Antonio Benderas. Love him." I replied through my mouth full of pizza. Camille gave me a look as if she were still asking why. I swallowed my food and sighed, "Ever heard him talk?" I asked.
"Yeah…"
"Boom boom pow." I said.
"So bottom line, you like guys who speak Spanish?" She asked.
"Pretty much." I smiled looking to the TV taking another bite from my pizza.
I stopped in mid chew and my eyes got wide as soon as I realized who was sitting next to me. I'm not sure who was paying attention to that conversation that was being held. I was hoping on everything that the Latino next to me wasn't…
