Mason was driving home rubbing her temple with one hand, pushing her brand new purple rimmed glasses up the bridge of her nose, with the other, and steering with her knees.
Continuing with her knees and turning off the main road carefully, she pulled a glasses case out of her purse sitting on the passenger seat, opened it, and pulled out another pair of glasses, blue this time, for reading. She groaned as she remembered distinctly what the optometrist had told her.
You'll need to remember to switch to these everytime you need to read for long periods of time.
As if she wouldn't feel awkward enough with the glasses on, she would have to keep two pairs with her all the time. She was thankful that she wasn't so blind to the point where she would have to wear her frames while she danced, because she probably wouldn't anyway.
She put the second pair back in their case, the case in her purse, and her hand on the wheel, though she was still massaging the side of her head that was throbbing so much it seemed it was going to pop out of her head. She turned into the driveway and parked, then hopped out.
"Hey!" She yelled in greeting to the girls still in the yard. "How do I look? Bad?" She had quit rubbing her head, but began rubbing the nape of her neck.

"Ha, laugh it up, sweetheart. I don't even know how far along she is. Though I am guessing quite far from looking at her." Derrik continues to drive finally pulling in at the large house Nathan indicated. "This is the place? Fancy." Derrik had never lived in so large a house. He would not even know what to do with so much space. But apparently some people managed to find a purpose.

Nathan smiled sadly and sighed. "You know our parents. We came from rich families. And of course we had our short comings such as the death's of her mother and my father, our parents still pulled through with all of our wealth." Nathan turned around and shook his sister to wake her up. "C'mon Annie. We're here." Nathan got out and began unpacking he grabbed Derrik's and his bags and took the to the front door. There was a note on it that was labled, "Nate." Nathan grabbed it in confusion and opened it. It read:
Nathan,
We went out to lunch. Meet us at Red Lobster as soon as you
unload your bags.
Mother Nathan groaned and opened the door. He placed his bags off to the right a bit, so that no one would trip over them. Then, he went back and grabbed Annora's bags and placed them next to Derrik's and his. Nathan then wen't back to the car and hopped back in. "Hey, Derrik. My mom wants us to meet her at Red Lobster. They decided to leave without us." Nathan rolled his eyes.

Derrik chuckles. "How very anti-climatic. I take it you know the way there." And so Derrik pulled away from the grandiose home and followed Nathan's instructions to the Red Lobster. Once they arrived, he stepped out of the car to first just stretch. If only being short helped him at all with being cramped into a car."All departing for Red Lobster; are you still awake back there, Ana?"

Nathan gave Derrik instructions to the resturaunt. Once it was in view, Nathan began thinking about seeing his family again. The thoughts led to him thinking about his travels after running away from his family; how he prostituted and sold drugs for food and shelter. How he was beat and nearly rapped before a kind man and his wife helped him. How he felt neglected by his own flesh and blood. Nathan froze. It was almost like time around him stopped, but it was only him that stopped. Nathan's heart raced as the pulled into the parking lot and Derrik shut off the car. Nathan's breath began to escape him as Derrik opened the door and stepped out. Nathan began to have an ashma attack. He began grabbing at his jeans. His inhaler was in his pants. He had never needed it, but Annora told him when he was 16 that he should always have it, just incase he needed it. Nathan pressed the gadget to his mouth, pressed the button, and inhaled. His asthma stopped and he began breathing normal again. Tears started up in his eyes from the initial shock, but he was fine. He carefully wipped them away and stepped out of the car. "Let's get this over with." Nathan said.

Derrik wanted to ask Nathan if he was alright and if he was sure about going inside. Derrik had no problem at all with driving straight back home if Nathan asked him to. But Nathan wouldn't and he knew that, so there seemed to be no point to making matters worse by asking. So instead Derrik helped Annora out of the car. "Yes, let's." Once Annora was out and Derrik had locked up his vehicle, he walked over to Nathan and took his arm. He brushed a light kiss against Nathan's neck and strode toward the restaurant.

Nathan smiled as Derrik kissed his neck and walked with him to the front door. The three entered where a hostest greeted them. Nathan spoke up. "Uh, we're with the Grace Party?" Nathan said in an asking tone, to see if she knew what he was talking about. She flipped through a book that was resting in her arm. She pointed at a spot and smile. "Party of 9?" Nathan nodded and the woman escorted them to the table. Once they were in view, Nia, Nathan's nearly twin sister, jumped out of her chair and dashed at him. "Gracie!!! I missed you! How are you? Who's this?" She smiled at Derrik and leaned over to Nathan's ear. "He's cute. Where'd you snag this one?" Nathan laughed and leaned over to her ear. "It's Derrik. You know, one of my many closest friends. And yes, we're dating." Nathan chuckled at her shocked look. She smiled and sat down. Derrik, Annora, and Nathan followed after. Everyone started greeting each other. Nathan hugged both his parents, as well did Annora and Derrik. They all sat down. Nathan grabbed Derrik's hand. "Uh, Mom, Dad. This is Derrik. You guys remember him, right? He's...uh...my...boyfriend..." Nathan muttered the words out. His mother's expression changed, but she still tried to be charming. But, his dad was happy as a ever. "Derrik! It's been ages! How are you? You look good!" He turned and winked at Nathan. He relaxed.

Derrik gave a wry little smile of amusement at Nathan's interaction with his sister. It was honestly no surprise to him that she had not recognized him. Derrik rarely saw the family of his friends. And as Nathan himself had pointed out, Derrik was much changed from the awkward, overly skinny and acne ridden boy he had been. Thank God. His whole livelihood these days was being damned pretty; it would be a shame if he'd missed out on such opportunities. Perfunctory hugs were shared with the parental units before they all sat. When Derrik felt Nathan's hand in his, he raised it to his lips and kissed the back of it. His usual small, practiced smile was on his face when he turned to the father. "I have been well, as I trust you have been. It has indeed been quite a while; apparently it takes a wedding to keep me in one place long enough. Congratulations to you both." Derrik spares a glance for Nathan's mother. She had remained quietly civil; good.
