The Next Big Thing
Chapter 18
Becca’s Pov
I was currently sat in the food court at the local mall, with Alex, Jack, Zack, Cass, and Rian, talking to them about all our plans for Christmas, it was only 4 days away now, which is why we were at the mall; we all still needed to buy gifts for someone.
“So what are the plans for everyone’s holiday?” I asked looking around the table.
“Well my family doesn’t really celebrate Christmas, so I’m going to spend Christmas Eve with Rian and his family, but other than that I’m pretty much free.” Cass said while taking a drink out of her coffee. Rian nodded in agreement.
“I’m going up to my grandmother’s house for dinner, but I’m going to be back around 6” Zack said while wrapping his arms around me to stop me from sliding off his lap.
“I kind of just hang around my house all day. Why what did you have in mind?” Jack asked turning to face me.
“While I just thought that because Alex and I will be spending Christmas at my house, we could all hang out, open gifts, make a gingerbread house, and watch corny movies, hell who knows maybe will end up having a Christmas orgy.” I said with a chuckle at the end of my sentence.
“Sorry princess but you’re all mine.” Zack said leaning up to give me a sweet kiss.
“I know, I know, but hey we should all get going if we want to get the shopping done.” I said standing up and throwing out my trash.
“But wait we all have to buy gifts for someone we’re shopping with, that will just ruin the surprise.” Alex said looking concerned.
“Alright we’ll split up, no shopping with your significant other, meet at the front door in 3 hours sound good?” They all nodded their heads in agreement, and I grabbed Cass’s hand figuring if I was going to go shopping I was going to go with another girl.
Cass and I had gotten back to the front door, about 15 minutes before everyone else. Cass and I had been to a bunch of stores, Hot Topic, Spencers, Sephora, Macy’s, The Music Store, FYE, Victoria’s Secret, and Barnes and Nobles, we had both gotten all the gifts we needed, so that was a success. All the guys walked up to us, various shopping bags in hand.
*Time Laps 4 days*
Alex and I were sitting in my living room, we had put the tree up 2 days ago, and were now waiting for everyone to show up, to have fun, we decided to just hang out and open presents, with everyone coming over around 7pm. I was heating up pizza for Alex and I to eat, when I walked back into the living room I found Lex crying on the sofa.
“Lex, what’s wrong? You want to talk?” I asked as I sat down next to him.
“It’s just, I mean, this is Christmas, and while yeah normally I would come over here, I still would spend it with my family, and now they don’t even want to see me, let alone spend a holiday with me. And while if my own family hates me, then I don’t know how you and the guys put up with me, or how Jack can even want to go out with me, and I-I ju-just can-n’t…”
“Lex,” I quickly cut him off not wanting to hear anymore, “look at me, of course we love you, and your parents are fucking jerks, and just because they are related to you doesn’t mean they are family, alright because family isn't always blood, it's the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what. So while you aren’t spending Christmas with your parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins; it doesn’t mean you aren’t going to spend it with your family.” I looked up and saw Zack, Rian, Cass, and Jack standing there with tears forming in their eyes, “because, me, all of us are your family, and we all care about you.” At this moment, everyone came up and hugged Alex, his crying calming down. We all pulled apart, but Jack leaned in and whispered something to Alex, causing him to look at Jack, and pulled him into what looked like a bruising kiss. “Hey guys, let’s take a family photo.” Everyone looked at me and smiled, I ran upstairs and grabbed my camera and tripod, we set it up and all stood together by my fireplace, smiles on all our faces. When we took the picture, I printed it out, finding an old frame and hung it on a wall. Alex walked up to me and placed his arm around my shoulder leaning his head on mine.
“I like it.” He said to me.
“The first family picture of many.” I said turning my head and gave him a kiss on the cheek, smiling when I saw him smile.
