Scott's POV

It was Christmas day. The most celebrated day of the year in my house, excitement and cheer were thick in the air. Santa had come to my younger brothers an sisters and they couldn't have been more excited and thrilled with their presents. The smell of my mothers ginger bread men lingered in the air mingled with the smell of the spicy mulled wine.....pure heaven. The snow lay thick on the ground outside and a light snow was falling, it was just postcard worthy. My whole family were gathered in the sitting room, swapping presents and memories while the fire crackled happily away and the tree glittered and sparkled, standing proud in the corner. I got up to answer the ringing front door, picking my way carefully over presents, gift wrap, and children that were littering the floor.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the front door to see Sophia standing on my porch, freshly fallen snow in her blonde hair and the hint of the bitter cold in her pink tipped cheeks. Her blue eyes glistened as she looked away from me.

"Happy Christmas Soph, I exclaimed smiling widely. Did Santa come ? Or were you too bold?" I asked jokingly.

She didn't even manage a weak smile. She just looked at me and I knew that look. I opened my arms and she fell into them. Snuggling into my chest.

"She left", she said quietly into my chest.

"Who left S?" I asked puzzled.

"My mom Scott.... She had 'business' apparently. Not even on Christmas day does she have time for me. She loves her job more then she loves me" Sophia mumbled bitterly, the tears brimming in her eyes as she looked up at me.

"I have no one Scott!" she said sadly, brushing the tears off her cheeks.

"you have me S" I replied softly, hugging her close as I closed the front door with my back so I was leaning against it.

She looked up at me, visibly cheerier. "Look" she said cheekily.

"at what?" I asked comically.

"That", she pointed to above the door.

I looked up. "Mistletoe?" I stated.

"Ye.... And what do you do under mistletoe?" she asked pressing against me.

Then it dawned on me. "Kiss" I said.

"Exactly" she replied grinning. Then she reached up to kiss me.

Just as we were about to kiss, I woke up.

(end of dream)

I sat up in bed, trying to shake the dream from my head. This dream was different then most dreams I'd had before. In this dream I dreamt of something that had actually happened. That dream was about last christmas. I still remembered the taste of her strawberry chapstick.
