The L word

Lely Andrews ~

"I like her, she's funny." David, Hades' dad, chuckled.

"I'm begging you not to compliment her sense of humor. One praise and she turns into a stand up comedian."

"Don't be jealous he complimented me and not you." Adrian scoffed.

"Don't worry, I like you." Harold, Adrian's dad smiled at me.

The girls and I arranged for our parents to meet each other along with ourselves. They have met us over the phone but never in person. My parents couldn't be bothered to attend however I was satisfied with who was here. Both sets are were so sweet and so is August.

He hates his name but I think it's cute. It fits him but he prefers Auggie so that's what I'll call him. It isn't that hard to respect someone's wishes even if you don't agree with them. All you have to do is go along with it.

Athena would have came but she had a doctor's appointment and then work after that. Plus we met her already and we talk to her a lot.

I just wish my family was as supportive of this relationship as the other's were. It's always people who's last name is Andrews I swear.

"Thank you, David." I smiled back.

"Stop trying to turn her against me, dad!" Adrian glared.

"I'm not!" The man defended, "Auggie I'm not trying to turn Lely against Aj am I?"

"No!" The seven year old shook his head quickly.

"See."

We also learned that August calls his sister 'Aj' because he has a hard time pronouncing the 'dr' sound. We can clearly see what he's trying to say but his 'dr' sounds like a j. So drive would be jive.

Returning back to Adrian; For him Adrian is Ajian so they shortened it to Aj because it's easier for him to say.

They're family is cute as hell I have never been so jealous a day in my life.

"Stop trying to gaslight me!"

"This is why you don't teach a seven year old the three g's," Hades chimed, "This is all your fault."

"Okay I'm hungry and tired of standing where are we eating at?" Natalie, Hades' mom whined playfully.

"Mom, we're having a civilized conversation be patient!"

"I'm with Nat on this," Georgia, Adrian's mom added, "I need to eat something before I faint."

"You never had to be this dramatic," Adrian sighed.

"Gee, I wonder where you get it from." Sarcasm laced my voice.

"I am not over dramatic."

"Yes you are. I had to deal with it for nineteen years." Harold stared.

This resulted in an explosion of laughter.

After a few more minutes of talking we all got into our cars and started our drive to the restaurant. One of Trinity's hookups work there and she said the food is good. I doubt she actually has tasted it because she's more than likely getting her back blown out the entire time. I guess we'll find out for ourselves.

This better cure cancer or some shit.

The parents wanted to meet Trinity and Elodie but I told them that wouldn't be necessary. Trinity isn't apart of this relationship, is she?

Plus I don't need her traumatizing these people. They're great.

~~~~~

"It was truly amazing to meet you," Georgia smiled, "we'll definitely keep in touch!"

"Of course," I smiled back, "I'll make us a group chat as soon as I get the chance."

"Awesome. Honey, tell Lely how amazing she and Hades are."

"Absolutely astonishing. Still confused on how you looked at Adrian and said "I want her" but to each their own." Harold laughed.

"I'm standing right here!"

"Cry about it."

I'm starting to love their parents more than I love my own. They treat me how any sane person would treat their child.

I hate my parents sometimes. And by sometimes I mean all the time. I hope Elodie's uncoordinated ass runs them over by accident one day.

But anyways after everyone left Hades, Adrian, and I migrated to Hades' room to watch a movie. We made snacks and everything but by the end of the movie someone was getting ate out and someone else was getting fingered.

I'll let you guess who was doing what. I'll give you a hint; Adrian is not and never will be a bottom.

But anyways sex makes you tired so after we cleaned up we collectively took a nap. Trinity was at work and Elodie went to visit her grandma.

Peace and quiet. Until they came home.

"Hey guys- Oh hell nah!" Elodie shrieked.

She slapped her hands over her eyes and slammed the door shut quickly.

The other two began to stir beside me as they woke up.

"The fuck is she screaming for?" Adrian asked, her voice still full of sleep.

"Doesn't matter. Tell her to shut up." Hades replied.

"If you're not gonna get out of bed pull the covers over you. I'll be right back."

I pecked both their lips and threw some clothes on. As I walked down the stairs I heard Elodie practically screaming at Trinity. Trinity looked like she didn't give a damn and she more than likely didn't.

"They didn't even move! They- oh my god."

"It has never been that serious, El."

"No but it is," she replied, "you fuckers were naked."

"I mean yeah that's how sex works." I shrugged.

"Stop scarring the child, Lely."

"You're a fucking hypocrite, Trinity." I laughed.

How is she gonna tell me I'm "scarring the child" when she goes into full detail about how she gets her back blown out?

"I'm not a hypocrite!" Trinity gasped.

"Yeah okay," I laughed as I grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet.

"Babe! Your phone is ringing! It's your bald head ass mom." I heard Hades yell.

"Answer it!"

"So she can hate crime me? Fuck no. You do it."

I laughed to myself lightly and jogged up the steps. My parents never really call me so a lot of things are going on in my head right now.

Incoming call from 'Abigail Andrews'

Hello?

Good afternoon, Lely.

Why are you calling?

Am I not allowed to call my daughter?

No.

That's a little rude.

Mom, why are you calling?

To check on you?

Mom.

Okay fine. I'm calling because I wanted to tell you something.

Tell me what?

Me and your father has found a nice young gentleman and he's single.

There's no way-

We would like for you to meet him.

Fuck no.

Excuse me?

I said no. I'm in a perfectly fine relationship. I'm happy.

Your current "relationship" is a damn joke.

Why can't you just be happy for me?

Because I didn't raise you to become what you are today.

Well boo-fucking-hoo, mom. I'm happy in my joke of a relationship so could you please stop trying to force random men on me. I love them and if you can't accept that I think we should just stop talking. You're my mom and I love you but I can't take anymore of your bullshit.

You're dead to me. And your father.

Fuck you, Abigail! And you make sure you tell Samuel I said the same thing.

Call ended

As soon as I heard the line go silent I fell to my knees and began to violently sob. Instead of trying to fix the relationship we have my parents decided to cut all ties with me. It hurts so bad.

"Hey, hey, hey. You're okay, baby. We're here."

My girlfriends rushed to my side and began to rub my back.

"This is all my fault!" I cried.

"No it isn't. Your mom is just a bitch and that isn't your fault."

"Honestly," Trinity began, "Hades is right. Your mom is a bitch and that isn't your fault. Like you said you're happy in your relationship and she's too selfish to care."

I don't know where Trinity and Elodie came from but I'm thankful they're here. Moral support is definitely needed.

"The L word." Elodie whispered.

All of our eyes flashed over where Elodie stood.

"What?"

"Love, Lely. You said you love them. You said the L word." Elodie repeated.

"I guess I did." I sniffled.

"We'll if it makes you feel any better we love you too." Adrian smiled.

"Cool."

I kissed them both and laughed as the other two gagged in the back ground.

Parents; who needs 'em
