I Promise (Clean Version)

~Chapter Ten~

"On what?" I responded, not paying attention. He rolled his eyes.

"You coming to the cast dinner tonight?" He asked.

"If I am allowed to by my house mates and bestie," I said.

"You're allowed, Luna," Meredith said.

"I guess I'm going then," I responded.

"Good," Clark responded.

"Lunch break!" Brian called. We all went onto the stage.

We were eating dinner at a pizza place late at night. I was in between Robert and Clark. There were some heated discussions around the table about LA vs Michigan vs Chicago. At that moment, I got a text. We need to pull you home in four days for a week. Family is coming into town. We've discussed it with Brian and Mere. Tell Robert and make sure you have your boarding pass

I looked at the media and saw an electronic boarding pass. I poked Robert in the shoulder with my forefinger. "I need to go back to LA in four days for a week. Family is coming into town," I said.

"Make sure you call twice a day. Text frequently. I'm going to miss you," he said. At that moment, our pizza came and I felt a lot better about leaving my best friend again.

The next day at the theater, someone had the idea to do ab workouts. Somehow, we ended up all laying on the floor because of how bad our abs were except for two people in the cast. Joe Walker and Clark. No surprises there. I, luckily, was pretty in shape and ready for this with my leggings and t-shirt. I felt powerful, especially since I kept going when almost everyone had quit. It was a last man standing sort of competition. I placed third and Clark first. "Good job," I said, shaking his hand from the floor. I was too tired to get up.

"You, too," he said.

"We have work to get to! So, we're running the ending scene. So, Rachael, Alex, Jaime, Jim, and Joe, you guys are on!" Brian exclaimed. The people who weren't working went to the back. I didn't do anything in the musical, but I still came to rehearsal. I sat in the back, texting my brothers.

(A/N Darren is DC, Chuck is CC, and Luna is LC. This is all texting)

DC: Excited for family reunion?

LC: Yes! Though anxious would be a better word.

CC: Why?

LC: I just realized I had a family two months ago and the fact that I actually get to meet them is crazy

(A/N all normal)

I grinned and stuffed my phone into my pocket. No one was paying attention, so I leaned against the wall and let myself get immersed in each separate world.

I felt shaking against my side and saw Robert. "It's lunch time," he said. I smiled and stretched, hearing my back pop. "Careful!"

"I am, I am. What-oof," I said, tripping over nothing, "makes you think I wouldn't be?"

"I think you just answered that, dear cousin," he said. I giggled and we went to the stage where the rest of the cast was. And the food.

Soon, the days were over and I landed in LA. Upon finding Darren and Chuck in the airport, we gathered in a group hug. "So, agenda. Chuck is staying to wait for the parents we share. We are going home," Darren said. I nodded. I loaded my stuff into his car. We drove home, catching up on what had happened. Once we arrived, we unloaded my stuff and went inside. I soon found my adoptive parents and hugged each of them.

"How are you guys doing?" I asked them.

"Well, your little brother or sister is growing steadily," my mother said.

"And I'm peachy. Living life," my dad said. He looked alright. We all got settled and Chuck came in, announced by the loud beeping of the door. I took Darren's hand.

"It'll be okay," Darren said, upon noticing my grip on his hand tightening. I loosened it and took my mother's hand on my side. The door opened and Chuck came in with this woman who was my biological mom. She had the same color eyes I had and the high cheekbones of my brothers. Her hair hung perfectly straight to her shoulders. She saw me and her eyes widened. I didn't notice how I let go of the hands I had taken. I walked slowly to my mom. She hugged me.

"I've missed you," she whispered.

The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals opened last night! I hope it went well. I will hopefully be getting a digital ticket soon to see it, so that's exciting. I'm sorry for my lack of updates this past week, it was crazy. I had homecoming, then homework, then a golf tournament, then work to make up and then the PSAT (a practice one) and more homework. I've been busy. Well, it's officially October which is exciting. It's Halloween (which I love) and also ADHD awareness month, which people don't know about. Wear orange to support ADHD awareness! So, that's that, I'll hopefully start updating more regularly and frequently because I have this written. I hope you have a wonderful week and get to see TGWDLM!
