How (Not) to Conjure a Boyfriend

Standing at the foot of my comatose crush's hospital bed is not how I envisioned becoming Hayden's partner. First I needed to find out if he's even into the theys, then hopefully some flirting, a cute date up in the valley or at Taco Bell, a kiss. The normal cutesy stuff, but this? No! Hayden wasn't supposed to get hurt, especially not a trauma-induced extended nap from slipping on a wet floor at my job. On top of that, one of the nurses told his family we're dating. Sure, it might have been because that's what I told her when I was trying to get to his room to see him...but it's not true.
The wild part is his family believes it! They really think I'm the Hayden Marcus's short little curly-haired enbyfriend. His partner! With one little lie, now they think he isn't straight, and I'm terrified he actually is.
So now I'm having Thanksgiving with a family I barely know because, as far as they're concerned, I'm "dating" their son. I can't tell if this is a sign my love spell worked, or if I royally messed up and I'm being punished. I mean this family is amazing. It's everything I wish I had, and honestly more. But it's all based on a lie.
Oh, and as if all of that wasn't bad enough, my comatose crush has an even cuter brother who I think I might be falling for...
