Chapter 51 ~ Breakfast With The Becks

Tim: How you keeping up?

Dixie: Im doing really well

Noah: Now tell the truth

Dixie: *rolls her eyes* Im doing extremely well, im glad we broke up so now im a free girl and can do whatever i want!

Noah: I never stopped you from doing anything

Amy: As happy as i am that you atleast said a few words to each other, even though it wasnt nice words, lets have breakfast. I made macaroni with butter mixed with sausage

Charli: Before we eat, i would like to say something. Noah, i know that i have been an idiot to you after i found out that you cheateed on Dixie but i think i would like to be friends again

Bryce: Me too

Noah: Really '🤨'

Charli/Bryce: Yes

Noah: I appreciate this *smiles*

Amy brought out food, placed it in all of our plates with a glass of orange juice and everyone started eating. I havent ate in a few days and wasnt feeling to eat but i knew if i was to give any excuse, they will figure out that im starving myself so i slowly picked at my food, took a few tiny bites and very slowly chewed it. It hurt to swallow food after so long. All what was on my mind was that my siblings became back friends with my ex boyfriend and i want to cut ties with this family. After taking exactly six very tiny bites of my food and one tiny sip of the juice, i placed the fork back in the plate and looked at my mom

Dixie: My belly is full mom

Heidi: You didnt even eat quarter of the food Dix

Amy: Do you not like it, do you want me to make something else for you to eat?

Dixie: No its delicious but i ate heavy food last night so im not hungry now

Heidi: What heavy food? We ate bread and butter last night

Dixie: And after that, i came down and ate some rice with beans because i couldnt sleep

Heidi: Ok

It felt terrible lying to everyone, especially my mom. Mrs. Beck is so sweet, i cant believe i want to end things with them. When i was saying that i ate a heavy meal last night and telling them what i ate, i saw Noah looked at me as if he knew i was telling a lie then he continued eating along with everyone. I sat there, with my food infront of me, not eating as i got a few stares from Noah, not any kind of creepy or romantic stares but concerned stares.

Noah: Do you want chicken Dixie?

Dixie: Please stop Noah. I said that im thankful we broke up, its the best thing that happened to me in a while so lets keep it that way and not talk to each other

Heidi: Dix, dont give attitude today please

Dixie: Im sorry

Noahs Pov:

Dixie walked in this house looking beautiful as ever, she wore a black sweat pants with a cyaan hoodie and kept her hair in a bun. No makeup, no jewel, nothing, just simple, plain Dixie. I knew she must have found it hard to gather the courage to come here because when she came, she held on to her moms chair for a while before having a seat then she began to tell me how happy she is that we broke up. That was a heatbreaker to me. When she was saying that she ate rice and beans last night, i looked up at her, not because i didnt believe her but because i know that she has a history however she looks ok, she ate a few bites of the food amd sipped on the juice. I wanted to ask her mom if she sees Dixie when she is eating but i dont want to make Dixie more furious with me so i kep my mouth shut and didnt answer. When we were finish eating, everyone gathered by the front door as the D'Aamelios were leaving since Dixie also leaves for college today. My mom went up to hug Dixie but she stepped back.........wow

Amy: Is everything ok?

Heidi: Dixie? She wanted to hug you before you leave today

Dixie: Im sorry, i cant do this anymore. I wanted to do this a while now but now seems like the perfect time. I appreciate every little thing you guys did for me in the past few months but i just dont think its right for me to have any kind of connection with my ex family so im ending all the friendships and parental love that i got from the family. I am severing ties with everyone in the Beck family

Amy: Di-

Tatum: Dont do this Dixie, we love you

Hailey: Please, you are one of the best friends that we ever had

Tim: You are clearly not ok Dixie if you are doing this. We have gotten so attached to you, please dont do this

Dixie: Goodbye *leaves*

There it was, i was expecting this. I knew that she would do this, but i didnt know it would be so soon. I saw the hurt in my family eyes and in her eyes, she looked as if she didnt want to do this but yet still she did it. Her mom and siblings stayed about five minutes after she left and assured my family that even though Dixie broke ties with everyone here, they will always talk to us and they even appologised a few times for what Dixie said then they left and we went inside

*A few hours later, both Dixie and Noah said goodbye to their respective family, got on the plane but in different seats and didnt spot each other and started their journey to their college from home*
