Y/n POV.

I open the door fast. I look in the living room to find, my cousin, pam, having cookies while my plant friend is acting like a real plant. "Hi y/n. I heard you finished college. Congrats" she said. I stood there, kinda shock. "Oh yeah, college is great," I said while sweating alittle. "You alright cousin? Your sweating," pam said. "Oh yeah I'm fine. It's just sorta hot in here," I said while trying to not act like a fool. "It is rather hot outside though," pam said. "Well let's open the window to cool off," bf/n said. Pam nodded in agreement. I walk over to purple flower and picked the pot up. "I'm surprised that flower is still alive," pam said. "Yeah, because I took good care of it," I lied. "I'm going to bring it to my room," I said while walking upstairs to my room.

I opened my bedroom door, went in, closed the door and locked it. I set purple down by the window. "Phew that was close," purple said. "Yeah, pam still believes your my plant," I said. "Yeah well your cousin was being nosy as usual, and what's worse, she took pictures of your work again," purple said.

You see, pam is my family's favorite cousin. They expect me to be like her. I moved out when they put to much pressure on me. I never attend to family gatherings, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any birthday partys with them. I stayed in college to avoid them. Purple is always there to cheer me up. I tell her my problems and she does her best to cheer me up. I made sure to watch the news when purple does mischief things. My brothers always try to get me to family gatherings, but I decline. They keep asking me why and I keep telling them. They are not even helping my case.

"Want me to do something about your cousin?" Purple ask. I look outside the window to think. "Yeah sure, think you can sorta ruin her reputation?" I ask. "I'll try my best, I know a certain plant that can help me with that," she said. I nodded my head. "Also you should stop hanging out with your so-called "bf/n" I can tell she is not a true friend of yours," she said. Purple always tell me this, but I didn't believe her, only alittle. I know bf/n didn't bother to call or text me on how I'm doing. I keep thinking if she is even my friend at all. "Hey coz, you alright in there?" Pam said outside my room. "Yeah I'm fine, just thinking," I replied. Purple gave me the look that says 'annoying idiot'. I need to do something to get my 'family' off my back.
