*Tay*
Tomorrows' Christmas Eve, and I just got all my shopping done. I got a bunch of makeup and a scarf for Hayley (at her numerous requests every single day), I got a GLMR KLLS shirt for Jack, a Baltimore Ravens jersey for Rian, and a muscle tank for Zack that I got made to say: 'AMERRICKAN'.
Alex told me he didn't want me to get him a Christmas present, since I got him so much for his birthday just a few days ago. I still insisted, though. We got into this whole dispute over it, and he finally gave in. But he made me promise I wouldn't get him MUCH.
I got him a pair of black jeans with an American flag on them, and a black fedora that I thought would look super cute on him. He better love it.
I even got something for Jenna that I had sent in the mail- a pair of Vans she's been wanting for like a month now. I really miss her, a lot. I decided to call her. She picked up on the second ring.
"TAAAYYY! OH MY GOD, HEY! HOW ARE YA, CHICK?"
I laughed at her hyperness, I really miss that.
"JENNAAAA!! I'm great! How are you?!"
"I'm ECSTATIC, it's almost Christmas, holy shit!"
"I know! It sucks that you aren't here, I miss ya, blondie!"
"I miss you too! It feels so weird not having you here to decorate the tree and watch Christmas movies with.."
"Shut up, Jenna..you're gonna make me cry!"
She laughed at that.
"Aw. Well how's school going? Friends? More than-friends??"
I thought about it, and decided I should tell her about Alex and everything that's happened.
Then she gasped.
"OH MY GOD, THIS GUY SOUNDS ADORABLE! HE LOVES YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER, GO FOR IT!"
I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks for the enthusiasm, Jenna..but have you forgotten? I don't want a relationship."
"Ughhh!!! Come on, Tay! He's great for you! You're obviously great for him, so why don't you give it a shot?"
"Me and Alex are great as friends, I'd rather not risk it. I refuse to trust someone with my heart ever again."
She let out a frustrated sigh.
"Just get over him, Tay."
"I'm sorry?" I was puzzled as to who she was talking about.
"Oli. Get over him, he was a bad guy. Now you've got a good one. You can't be all heartbroken over Oli fucking Sykes for the rest of your life."
I was taken aback at this. That actually kinda hurt that she was being so harsh and straight forward about it. I wasn't even thinking about Oli in the first place!
"Uh..okay...ouch."
"Sorry. It's just..."
I cut her off, not wanting to talk anymore. I wasn't mad at her, but memories of being with Oli flooded my brain, and just the fact that he never really cared that much about me throughout our whole relationship and he was so quick to drop me, really stings.
"I'm not feeling too good right now, I'm gonna go to bed. And expect a really awesome present in the mail by Christmas."
"Aw, you can expect one from me, too! We're so in sync!"
I couldn't help but giggle at that.
"Alrighty, Tay..feel better, love ya!"
"Love you too, blondie. See ya."
I got off the phone, and went to go wrap my presents.
For the rest of the night, I felt like absolute shit.
Like used, lied to, forgotten about shit.

*Alex*
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!
I'm so excited! I may sound like a little boy right now, but I am beaming with excitement! TOMORROWS CHRISTMAS!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Tomorrows also the day I ask Tay to be my girlfriend. My nerves are really kicking in.
What if she says no?
What if she hates me for it?
I couldn't help but freak out a little bit over it.
I know in my heart that this girl's the one for me. I just hope that I'm the one for her.
I miss her. It's only been like two days, but I really do miss her.
We've spent our winter break doing stuff together like going out to get coffee, and watching Christmas movies, and drinking hot chocolate, and laughing about nothing in particular.
My favorite thing though, is when we just chill on the couch and chat; her telling me how her day was, and her likes and dislikes. Then we just watch tv till we both end up falling asleep; her head resting on my shoulder.
Ever since that day when we opened up to each other, it seems like we've just gotten closer..we're actually a lot more comfortable with each other. I like it. I like it a lot.
I like her a lot.
I decided to text her.
Me- Hey pretty girl, whatcha doin? :)
Tay- Hey! Nothin, just writing a lil bit :P
Me- Can I know what ur writing? :P
Tay- Just...song stuff.
Me- Will I ever actually get to hear one of ur songs or am I just living on a broken dream? x)
Tay- AHAHAHA xD
Me- Hey, don't laugh at meee!
Tay- Just keep dreamin, Asskarth.
Me- Lol fine be that way!
Tay- ;D
I shook my head and laughed, then went downstairs and saw Janet walk into the kitchen with a bunch of bags and suitcases.
"Jane? W-what are you doing?!"
She gave me a sad look and I frowned in response.
"Duty calls, Lex. I've gotta go work and I might not be back for a few weeks..I've got a flight to catch in an hour, hun."
That great mood I was just in? Yeah, that's ruined now.
"But Jane, you can't!! So you can't even just be here for Christmas?? It's fucking Christmas Eve, come on!!"
"And some people out there in the world don't even get to have Christmas, Lex. Listen- I'm really sorry, sport! I know I said I'd be here for the holidays.."
"Yeah, you fucking did. But whatever, go catch your flight."
"Lex...don't be that way. Take care of yourself, I'll call you tomorrow first thing when I wake up, I promise!"
She engulfed me in a big, long hug. I kinda wanted to cry. I rarely get to see her and she's only been here for a week, leaving right at the holidays. It fucking sucks.
I hugged her shoulders tight, trying not to breakdown.
"I love you, Jane. I'll miss you.." I mumbled into her blonde curls.
I heard her sniff.
"I love you too, kid. Be good, take care."
She gave me a quick kiss on the forehead, then grabbed her luggage and left out the door. I sighed in sadness, went back up to my room, and collapsed on the bed.
I groaned and grabbed my phone, wanting to text Tay again in order to boost my mood.
Me- Hey, my Christmas Eve sucks rite about now...
She texted back almost instantly.
Tay- Uh oh, what's up? :(
Me- Janet just left, she wont be home tomorrow.. :'(
Tay- Oh no! That rlly sucks, I'm so sorry Alex :(
Me- Thanks..I'll be alright though, I always am.
Tay- Aw man. Well hey, at least you won't be alone!
Me- I won't?
Tay- Nah, silly! You'll be spending Christmas with meeee!! :D
Me- Haha, alright! :D
We continued texting a lot throughout the day. We ended up texting each other all night; neither of us getting tired.
And at 12 am, we texted each other "HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" at the same time.
And that's when it hit me-
Todays' the day.
