I hesitantly lifted Peter's call.

"Anna!" He said cheerfully.

"Yeah!" I said casually.

"Merry Christmas!" He wished me and I smiled.

"Sorry, it was a busy day." I apologized for not wishing him earlier.

"That's okay Anna." He responded.

"How's your day?" I asked him rolling over my bed.

"Not great!" He mumbled. "Oh! Why?" I asked him.

"I couldn't see you." He replied and stayed quiet blinking.

"You there?" He asked, noticing me being silent.

"Yeah!" I mumbled.

"What are you thinking?" He asked me.

"Nothing. It's just.." he cut my words "Can I meet you now?" He asked and I widened my eyes at his question.

"Now?" I rambled playing with my t-shirt hem.

"Yeah please." He requested.

"It's already 12 in the night. My mom already locked our main door, I can't come down. You better go to bed." I said chuckling.

"Hum.." He hummed.

"Okay! Good night." I snapped.

"Good night." He said with a low tone. He got upset. I kept my phone aside and covered myself in the duvet. I couldn't sleep, I got up to use the bathroom. I went inside the bathroom and I came out after five minutes. I waddled towards my bed and then I heard a clanking sound. I noticed someone threw a pebble into my room through the window. I took the pebble into my hands from the floor and walked towards the window while examining the stone. I looked out the window and saw Peter standing in front of my house.

He waved at me with a grin as he spotted me.  I can't do anything but smile back. "What?" I hushed. He made a gesture to look at my phone, I walked to my bed and took my phone. I called Peter and walked back to the window.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I wanted to see you." He rambled and I saw him smiling.

Should I be flattered?

"Ahem!"

"Okay, I'll leave now." He said.

"Okay!" I said hesitantly.

"Can't you come down?" He asked me.

"I should jump from here." I joked and he chuckled.

"It's enough for me." He said and walked towards his car.

"Good night!" He said whilst starting his car.

"Good night!" I said. I watched him drive away and then went back to bed.

Days passed away quickly like always. And tonight it's New Year. Well, I'm not excited, I didn't plan to attend any parties or anything. I'm just gonna stay in my room that's it. Serrano's family is throwing a party tonight, Peter invited me but I didn't want to go.

In the evening Dina came to my house. I took her to my room.

"Get ready!" She snapped.

"Where?" I frowned.
