Chapter 49: Christmas Eve Pt. 1

                               E M M A: 🌹

I always loved the Christmas holidays. It was one of my favorites. And I actually was shocked to realize it's Christmas Eve. And I have been talking with Noah for a few days about if we should see my dad and Colleen for the holiday. But Noah is very confident and persistent we go. But I don't want to go there because Christopher is going to be there. And I definitely want anybody but Christopher to be there. He's going to try to jeopardize my relationship with Noah if we show up there. But Noah is definitely persistent that he wants us to go. He keeps telling me to not worry about Christopher and just ignore him if that's what I have to do.

   I hate myself for how things went down at the Coffee House. I know Christopher actually hates me, he must hate me for getting back together with Noah. But he has to understand on how I feel about Noah. Noah makes me feel different than any other person. He makes me feel like myself. And so, I'm practically excited to be back together with Noah. And lately we been doing the things we shoulda done since we dated.

    Since we been back together, Noah had actually been very sweet. Kind. And so loving. We actually have been getting along. We had a movie night together and just sat in the beautiful luxury sitting room, watching movies. And we even went bike riding together and that has been quite the date. And last night... Noah took me out to dinner to a fancy restaurant. It was Italian. Noah knows how much I love pasta and anything Italian. I wore a black mini dress with thin straps. I absolutely have this feeling things will work out better for Noah and me. And because of all of this I actually have to admit there isn't anyone in this world better for me than Noah. And I'm very excited to see Noah everyday when I wake. I have not told dad that I'm back together with Noah. But I think I rather just tell him when we show up there. I haven't even told mom or Gavin. I swear dad and Gavin are from the exact same planet. They both can't stand Noah. Gavin thinks I belong with Christopher. But it's never gonna happen again. Christopher and I are just brother and sister. And that's how it's gonna be and that's how it's gonna stay.

   I haven't heard from Christopher since the day he drove off from the Coffee House. That was six days ago. I called him all night along that night but he just wouldn't talk to me. I eventually gave up after Mandy picked up his phone and basically told him to stop calling him. I'm sure Victoria told Mandy about everything that happened at the Garden Party. I didn't mean to abandon Victoria and hookup with Noah. It definitely wasn't planned. It kinda just happened. I tried explaining to her but Victoria wouldn't let me. She was saying horrible judgmental things about Noah when she doesn't even know him.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

    I actually don't want to talk to Victoria. I rather that we don't be friends if she can't accept who I want to have a relationship with. I never said anything about the douche Luke Smith she dated. It's none of her business about my relationship with Noah. I will admit that we were codependent. But we have been different with each other lately. We have finally gotten along. And I just don't want anyone ruining my happiness. And I'm afraid Christopher will show there at our parents house and try to destroy it.

When I got up this morning, I actually just thought it was the best day of my life and I had woke up without Noah in the bed with me. I had reached my arm out for him but I find the empty side of the bed. I had not seen Noah there. But all I cared about was getting up out of bed and just take care of whatever I need to do before going to my dad's house today which'll be hard to actually think of.
