Chapter seven - Lets Really Netflix And Chill

Carmen's P.O.V

Me and Lela decided it was time to put up our Christmas decorations, we're a little late though. Christmas is tomorrow. But it doesn't really matter for us, I get Lela a couple of presents and she does the same for me. I know how everyone loves Christmas, but I really don't care for it. Honestly what is Christmas about? Because everyone I know has different reasons. Some love it because it's a time to be with loved ones, family and friends. And the only people in my life that I have is Lela, Sam, Xavier and Issac.

Others say it's because they love the thought of giving and receiving, I give a lot but don't receive the same. And only a few say it's because of the weather, it brings everyone together and it's beautiful, the snow dances through the air and lands on the snow, and no snowflakes are the same they are all different and unique.

We have few decorations, a small tree with ornaments on it, a few reindeer and snowman here and there but that's it. It can sometimes be sad thinking that we don't have a lot, being almost poor and living close to the edge. Life gives us a few scares here and there but feeling like you're always living in fear of being poor or alone is a scare that's hard to explain.

Anyways Lela and I just finished putting up the Christmas tree and were now decorating it while I put on music for myself, if Lela wanted to somewhat hear it should would have to put her hand on the speaker so that she could feel the vibration and somewhat guess which song I was listening to. Lela's really good about being deaf though, she doesn't think of it as a weakness, she knows it makes her stronger and unique.

I still am worried about her thought, she's been really out of it lately, not eating a lot, lots of coughing, no sleep at all and before winter break missing tones of school. I know that i'll have to bring her to the doctor soon, I really hope it's just the flu though I can't handle thinking of it something worse then that, I don't know how I would even survive. She's the only one I have sometimes and I can't lose her.

It's incredible to think how much time has passed recently, I mean it's Christmas Eve tonight. I mostly have been spending time with Xavier though, ever since he asked me to be his girlfriend we have been almost stuck together like a dog and a bone, you know because dogs love bones. Weird thing for me to think but hey it's kinda true when you think about it.

I haven't really seen Sam and Issac since the break started though because they had a list of stuff they wanted to do as couple and I don't feel like third wheeling it this time. But I understand why they're doing all this stuff together, there anniversary is in December so they believe the best way to spend it is to go skating together or build a snowman but they can never decide what they want to do so its more like a month thing. I think that it's super adorable, what can I say I'm a hopeless romantic.

We had now just finished decorating the apartment, Lela went to our neighbours, they own a bakery and have a girl named Alyssa the same age as Lela who just so happens to be her best friend. I was now snuggled up on the couch trying to find something to watch, when my phone started ringing.

"Hello" I said answering the phone but not bothering to check who was calling before I answered.

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing?" Xavier's voice said.

I smiled, I love hearing his voice "trying to pick a movie to watch, why?" I asked.

"Because I'm bored and would like to be with my girlfriend if that's alright with you?" I could just feel him smirking on the other side of the phone. Ugh his such a poop stain sometimes.

"I guess you can come over and watch movies with me" I said sounding sad just to tease him.

"Yes! thanks babe, and why so sad we can Netflix and chill" he said without laughing, making it really awkward and sort of weird but still funny.
