*SKy's PoV*
The day after the carnival, my mum decided that it would be a good day to decorate for Christmas. All day we emptied the basement of all the Christmas decorating boxes. Then we laid out all of the strings of lights and tinsel, organized ornaments, and the stars and angels for all of the trees. We always had a tree in the living room, the front office, the kitchen and one in my room, Nat's room, Addie's room, and my parents room. Each was decorated with ornaments our favorite color. Mine was red and gold. Nat's was purple, Addie's was pink and silver, and my parents was red and green. This year we would put one in every room. They would be alternating red and gold, and silver and green. Nat and I had 'borrowed' the boys private jet and flying in their Sib's and parents on Christmas eve. The boys had been invited to a Christmas Eve ball in London at the Duke's Hotel, so Natalie and I thought it would be nice for them to be able to see their families.
It was freezing outside. With five extra boys to help, the girls were unneeded for a little while. Mum went to warm up some chocolate for everyone, Addie pulled Ang up to the game room and Nat approached me cautiously.
"Will you come upstairs?" she asked me. I nodded and followed her up the stairs into her room. She sat on her bed, while I claimed her plush desk chair.
"There is something I need to tell you, Sky." Nat started. She looked scared, angry, and hurt at the same time.
"Three years ago one of the football players [brittish soccer, not american football!] asked me out, and of course, I accepted. His name was Blake Tyler." I nodded in recognition; he was a jerk. "All my friends said that we were the perfect couple, I thought so too. Seven months ago, at a party Blake brought me too, I saw him making out with some girl. He swore up and down that she forced herself onto him. Two months later while I was out with a friend, I caught him on a date with the same girl. He swore it wouldn't happen again, and that he would never see her again. I took him back. About three months ago I saw him give her a replica of a heart necklace he had given me. Then kiss her. That was the last straw, and I dumped him. When Harry" she smiled at the thought of him, "asked me out at the carnival, Blake was there watching. Later when Harry had gone to get us drinks, Blake approached me and told me to dump Harry and take him back. I told him no, obviously. When I was dating Blake, I always had to rearrange my calendar, my life, to fit his. When we were dating I didn't really mind it. But Harry's different. He would drop everything if I want to go get pizza or something. He makes me so happy. When I turned Blake down at the carnival, he told me I would regret it. Now I'm scared that he is going to hurt Harry or one of you guys! I don't know what to do. When Blake threatens someone, he always goes through with it. I would know." Nat finished, a tear slipping out, running mascara down her face. I pulled her into a tight hug.
"Nobody will hurt ANY of us. The boys have bodyguards, and so do my parents. Addie is always with mum or dad so we don't have to worry about her. If you want mum and dad can hire us bodyguards. And I am a purple belt in karate and can shoot a gun so I can protect myself. I'll have the boys keep an extra close eye on harry if you want."
She nodded and pulled away.
"Let's go clean you up. Then we can go downstairs." She walked into the bathroom and came out looking fresh a minute later.
"Chocolate anyone?" my mum called from the door. I nodded and accepted my cup. It had whipped cream piled on top and was drizzled with caramel. Nat's had chocolate syrup. A minute later Ang came in, a mug of chocolate in hand, hers sprinkled with chocolate sprinkles.
"Should we go help?" Ang asked looking over at the clock, then glancing out the window. It was 7 pm so it was already dark out.
"Sure." I said, grabbing my hat and scarf which lay abandoned by the door. The boys and my dad had wrapped the porch banister with fresh green garland, then strung lights with it. The pillars were wrapped with lights and the front door had a fresh pine garland border. My mum had gone into each room and placed real candles in each window atop a wreath. In the window a big bare Christmas tree, wrapped only with lights was visible. On the lawn by one of the three skinny bare trees, which were wrapped with green and red lights, was a huge box of ornaments which were to be Hung on the three trees. A ladder had been placed next to each tree. My mum and Addie game out and we split into three groups, one for each tree. My group was Niall, Harry, Nat and me. Zayn, Liam, Louis, and Ang were on the tree next to us. And my mum, dad and Addie chose the last tree. I immediately climbed the ladder and Hung Red and gold ornaments assign as I could, starting at the top and working down, as the others started at the bottom and worked up. When we had finished niall and I walked around it making sure it was perfect. A light snow started to fall. I looked around for Nat, and saw her under the Mistletoe with Harry.
Niall and I went inside to get some snacks.
"So Saving Angels is performing at the Christmas jam this year. We are the final act." I said to Niall. "And we were hoping that you guys would join us for the last two or three songs. I wrote a new one a couple days ago that could easily be divided up between the eight of us. Also it would get the school more of the money they need if people knew they would be going to a One Direction concert. It would be fun too. Like the way it used to be. You, me, and Ang singing together every year at the Christmas jam. You think the boys will do it?" I asked hoping they would agree.
"Of course they will! It will be so much fun!" He grabbed the bag of pretzels then sat down in the chair next to me. We started planning the whole performance, and didn't even notice when everybody came in twenty minutes later to decorate the two trees.
