Hey.
Wow, [sighs] look at you. You look like
you're ready to ski.
5 minutes really means 15 minutes. When
you factor in my mom forgetting her
purse and my little sister insisting
they don't have to use the bathroom
until they're already getting buckled up
into the minivan.
So, I have 15 minutes with you.
Am I going to be okay?
What? Without you?
Oh, home alone. You mean
one week is nothing. I've done it before.
It's you you should worry about.
Isolated in a ski cabin with my parents
and my annoying siblings for 7 days. Are
you sure you'll be okay? [snorts]
I can't believe you willingly tag along
on my family's vacations.
You realize you're allowed to say no
when they invite you, right?
Just because you're my brother's friend
doesn't mean you have to.
You and I have very different ideas of fun.
I guess there are a few ideas of fun
You should go.
If you're not in the car soon, my
brother is going to come looking for you.

Speaking of, you can't keep coming into
my room to say hi whenever my brother
has you over.
It's suspicious.
He'll think something's going on between us,
He'll hate me more than he already does.
The rest of my family, too.
If my parents find out there's something
between us, they'd probably try to talk
you out of it.
They think that you're too good for me.
Okay. Yeah. Look,
I know you love my family.
I get that you want me to get along with
them as well as you do,
but you don't know what it's like to be
To them, you can do no wrong.
You've been the best friend my brother
has ever had. And by extension, you're
like the whole family's best friend.
With me, it's just different.
They're never going to like me.
Maybe if I were to change everything
about myself,
you know, cover my tattoos, take out my piercings,
piercings,
quit listening to my satanic music.
There's nothing satanic about Gothic
metal, by the way. You know, maybe, just
maybe, I wouldn't be a disgrace to the
family name, but I'm not going to change
myself for them. and they
they don't have to like me just because
So, please stop trying to force it. It's fine.
I'm not hurt or anything.
If that's what you're worried about,
it's not like you're choosing them over me.

I have weekend plans of my own.
I'm going to order takeout from my
favorite Thai restaurant. And then I'm
going to binge all nine seasons of my
favorite show, Grave Danger, and blast

What is it?
So, you are choosing my brother and my

It's fine. Go have fun. You shouldn't
Come with you.
You want me to go on my family's vacation?
Fun. Fun?
Fun?
What's fun about it? Freezing my ass off
while I babysit my little sisters on the
bunny hill so the rest of my family can
go ski the big slopes.
Dinner at the hunting lodge. eating elk
or rabbit or whatever they just shot.
Or is the fun part the car ride? Having
to listen to my parents sing along to
their road trip tunes while my little
You and I will barely have any time
Okay, you're good.
Especially the way you're holding my
hand right now.
But even wearing that adorable beanie,
there is nothing in the world you can do
or say that could persuade me to come on
And get ready for the worst singing
Finally.
My legs are so stiff and feels so good
I will help unpack the car in a second.
They told us to unlock the door and turn
on the heater while they grab stuff.
Door is unlocked.
Do you think it's weird they sent us
inside? Why us specifically?
What if they know?
Maybe we give off a vibe.
You're right. If they do know, they seem
to be taking it well.
That doesn't add up. They must not know.
I've never cared what they think. Why

drinking hot chocolate,
[sighs and gasps]
Well, up until this morning, my parents
didn't think I was coming, so
it was either the attic or sharing a
room with my sisters.
It is cold, but
You've been looking forward to this trip
for weeks, right?
Right. I don't care where I sleep.
Besides, it's kind of cool up here.
Dark, isolated.
I don't need any more blankets.

scarf, hat, gloves.
Oh, wow.
What is all this?
Did you steal every blanket in the cabin?
I don't need all of this.
These are all the blankets from your

Wait, you're sleeping up here
But aren't you worried someone will wake

It shouldn't take long. I didn't bring
much. I just
packed whatever I could in 2 minutes.
What's this?
Oh, this is one of your shirts.
You grabbed it just now when you got the blankets.
