Four days.

Four days had passed since I had talked to Eli. And though it was Thanksgiving break, I still had to work. Noah and Kyler had left for their families’ houses the morning after our conversation. Eli had left sometime that afternoon, which meant for the last four days I’d been completely alone. And it was horrible. The last conversation we had replayed over and over again in my head, and my fingers itched to dial his number and tell him yes. But my stupid brain. Oh, my stupid brain—it still did not want to get on the same page as the rest of me. Still holding out for whatever reason.

I loaded my car and headed to my parents’ house for three and a half glorious days of hanging out with the family. Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday. My family went all out on dinner, even though it was always just the four of us. This year however, Caleb had to stay in Boston because of his internship, so it was going to be a little different, but I’m sure we’d still have the same spread. And while dinner cooked, Dad and I would sit on the couch and yell at whatever football games were on TV. Thanksgiving football—nothing really got any better than that. After dinner, we’d break out the Christmas decorations and transform the house. And I was so excited for it.

The drive was slow thanks to the weather. Of course the first snow would happen when I was on the road. The normal fifteen minutes it usually took to get out of the city and onto the highway had turned into an hour and a half of stupidity. Apparently everyone had forgotten how to drive in the snow, so it was constant slamming on brakes and crawling at about ten miles per hour. I was beyond frustrated when I finally did get on the highway. The snow wasn’t even sticking, why were people acting like it was the biggest snowstorm of the century? It was not a good way to start my vacation, but I knew it would only get better from here on out. Nothing but me, my parents, football, and lots of delicious homemade food.

I sang along with the radio to keep my mind occupied. Otherwise, it would go back to Eli. What was he doing? Who was he with? Was he still waiting for me, even though we hadn’t talked in four days? And so much for distracting myself.

I turned the knob on the radio to a new station and gave a little cheer when I heard the chorus of “Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.” Cranking the radio even louder, I sang along with every holiday song that came on for the next two hours.

When I finally turned on my parents’ street, my heart did a little jump. It felt like ages since I had last seen them. My teeth bit into my lip when I saw an unfamiliar car in the driveway, taking up the only available spot since Dad’s car was parked next to it.
