ever since syd told me that she was spending the break alone here in storrs, it's been heavy on my mind. i know that she'll be okay and that this is the best option rather than going back home but the last thing i wanted was for my baby to be alone because what if that thought of her feeling alone creeps up and then i wont be there to assure her a million times that she's not because im here.

an groan past my lips as i paced around my room looking at the suitcase filled with my clothes mumbling out an fuck. "yo, you good?", kk asks peeking her head through my door.

i turn and meet eyes with her shaking my head, "im worried about syd", i admit. she looks at me and hums, "about the whole spending break alone thing?", she asks and i nod my head sitting on my bed.

she comes and sits beside me, "syd is strong p but i think i understand how you feel. i wouldn't want any of you or eden to spend the break alone but... this is good for sydney that she allows her self to step back in these situations and handle it maturely", kk spoke.

everybody always saw kk always chaotic, immature or childish but in reality she just knew how to have a good time and always gave good advice when it was needed. she had an bright young mind and i was grateful to have someone like her in my corner because she was right.

"but I don't think her staying here in storrs is her best option", she confess and i look at her in confusion. "i think you should take her to Minnesota with you, you're family is always welcoming and they'll be more than happy to finally meet her", kk suggests.

syd with my family wasn't something i was ready for but when can you ever be ready for someone to meet your family. "just think about it and talk to her", kk patted my back and left my room.

almost every night i ended up at syd and eden apartment binge watching some disney movie with sydney because she was obsessed with disney musicals.

tonight was moana, we've had moana night almost every week because it was her favorite. sometimes i would watch her mumbling the reciting the words by heart and their movements.

"the ocean chose me", she mumbled

"it chose wrong", maui said and she shook her head.

i laughed slightly at her, "baby that's wrong what he said because he ain't shit without that hook but I still love maui", she said taking an handful of her popcorn. i hum placing an kiss onto her temple as i cleared my throat. all i could think about was the idea kk suggested to me.

"baby", i spoke looking down at her. she hums pausing the movie as she looks up at me, "wassup". i fiddle with the ends of the blanket biting the inside of my cheeks. she runs her hand through my hair, "what's wrong?", she asks and i smile at her. "i-i don't want you to spend the break alone", i say.

"but-", she starts but i interpret her. "that doesn't mean i want you to go home but... that means... i want you to come to minnesota with me", i say.

there's an silence as we stare at each other, "ONLY if you want, i don't want you to feel obligated too because i know we aren't 100% ready for you to meet my family but-", she shakes her head.

"no no... ill go... I want to go", she smiles at me and my eyes widen an bit. "really?", i tilt my head and she nods her head her smile growing bigger.

"i-okay", i smile at her. "are you sure?", i ask once more and she nods again. "yeah im sure, there isn't going to be a time where we are 100% ready to meet them so...", she shrugs. i nod my head, "okay now that is settle back to moana", i say and she gives me an soft kiss pressing play on the movie.

after an long plane ride, an rough sitting arrangement we finally made it to minnesota. i was an bit nervous but sydney seemed to be fine.

i expected her to be a little anxious but half of the time she was comforting me instead, i didn't know why i was so worried. i guess i just wanted my family to like her as much as i did because they're opinion really meant a lot to me.

it wasn't hard to like sydney because she was sweet and genuine soul but it always that lil voice in my head. my mother was picking us because i was going to spend a little time with her first before we stayed at dads house for the reminder of the break.

when she pulled up she immediately got out of the car and hugged sydney... before me damn. it was a small cute interaction, "ohh you're much prettier than the photos paige showed me", she looks at sydney.

sydney smiles at her, "thank you, you're beautiful", she compliments my mom. my mom hugs her once more and then comes to hug me, "I missed you baby", she places a kiss onto my cheek. "okay let's go get some lunch I've been waiting all day to sit down and talk with you girls", my mom says helping us put our luggage into the trunk.

💌

lunch with my mom went well, "see you later, it was nice meeting you sydney", my mom hugs us as we stand outside my dad house. she leaves and before we could even make it to the first meet Drew comes flying out the front door. "PAIGEEE, SYDNEYYT", he screams hugging us both at the same time.

a wholeeee lot of hugging going on boo

drew helps sydney with her bag and wastes no time to start talking her head off. sydney and drew talked here and there when I FaceTimed him to check up on him.

"mom and dad is really excited to meet you, they deep cleaned the house and everything", Drew mentioned and sydney chuckled a bit.

we walked into the house to see my dad and stepmom in the kitchen kissing each other. "please not in front of our guest", Drew grimaced.

there was no love that i had loved more than my dad and step mom, they were always loving towards each other, understanding each other and there for one another and that's the love i prayed to have with sydney.

"oh she's lovely", my step mom says as she met eyes with sydney. sydney smiles, "hi, im sydney", she introduces herself. my dad smiles at me, "oh we know who you are sweetie", dad says.

we get settled in and sit around the living room so they can meet sydney properly. they learn more about her and talk to her about random stuff, the conversation flowed smoothly and i was thankful that my family liked her.

"okay okay mom you're gonna talk her head off", Drew said and i laughed. "you just mad she doing it before you", I tease him and he buck at me making sydney laugh. "ouuu he did not just buck at you", his mama said and I laughed harder because drew was always feisty and sassy... just like me.

finally syd and i settle into my room, we washed and got ready for bed now cuddled up under the sheets giggling as we watch brooklyn nine nine of my ipad.

everything went well,

sydney wasn't spending the break alone

my family liked her

and she was okay.
