all time low (2012-2013)

christmas morning and cookies

A/N: i know this book very clearly says 2012-2013, but its already almost 2014 in this chapter and there is yet many things that will take place, that i dont wanna start a new book for, maybe bonus chapters?

it was chirstmas morning and we were gonna open our presents at jaime's house, i had gotten jack an electric guitar that he has wanted for awhile, what can i say? it was such a sexy guitar, and i thought to myself he wouldnt mind if i played with it, too.

"gooooooodmorninggg come in" jaime greets me and jack with an apron on and a spatula in his hand, his house was so warm and it smelled like cookies and icing.

"what's cooking up there?" i ask him as i take off my scarf while i wander in his kitchen.

"cookies, loads of it!" he says enthusiastically, he had the classic gingerbread man cookies and these sugarcane ones, let me tell you, he really outdid himself with this one.

"what the fuck jaime since when you can wrap gifts that good?" jack says while taking a look at his christmas tree and all of the decorations on it and the gifts under it.

"barakat, i'm just steppin' up my game this holiday, say thank you jaime" he says while complaining and waving around his spatula.

"tHanK yOu! jAiMe!" jack says while acting like a chicken and jaime and me die laughing at him from the kitchen.

"no way danielle and jack are here early?!" mike says while he is coming downstairs shirtless, towel drying his long hair.

"improvements have been made" i say while laughing and he pulls me in a hug and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"please tell me you got us stocked up on the booze" jack says in desperation.

"are you kidding me? we are set the fuck up to get hammered toniiiighttt!" mike says.

"sounds like a plan" jaime says while taking out the last tray from the oven with a kitchen glove.

"where the FUCK is alex and sabrina" mike says while throwing himself on the couch, looking through his logs to call alex.

"..where the fuck are you gaskarth!...NO DONT EVEN TELL ME ABOUT IT WE WILL OPEN ALL OF THE GIFTS WITHOUT YOU" mike threatens like a child and hangs up.

"thats such a threat for alex" jack says while laughing, he sits next to me on the couch and drapes his arms on the couch's seat, a couple of minutes later alex and sabrina make it and they exchange hugs and kisses with us and they sit around.

"aight guys, its gift time, and since im no buzzkill i will not spoil what gifts is there..unless you bother me" jaime threatens, yet again today.

"what's up with the blackmailing today fuckhead, knock it off" mike says while poking his head twice from the back while everyone sits around the tree.

"alright leeeeeeets spin the bottle, and see who gets to open their gifts first" mike says as he takes a place on the floor while crossing his legs, he positions the bottle on the floor and he spins it and it hits sabrina.

"why me" alex says while sarcastically rolling back and fourth, each one of us had gotten her a gift, alex had gotten her a necklace that matched pretty well with her engagement ring, jaime got her a curling wand..? who told him? and me and jack got her alot of candles, she loves the bath and body works ones.

as for mike, i think we had him stocked up on sticks for a good year, not even kidding, and he was pretty fucking pumped up about it, i know mike, so, i didnt get sticks for him like everyone else, i got him expensive imported whiskey, such a good friend i'm.

me and jack got alex two foot pedals, sabrina had gotten him a set of boxers she's uhm, rather interesting, and jaime and mike also got him alcohol.

we got jaime band tshirts and ALOT of cooking hardware and a bunch of new pans, he is pretty excited about them, with jaime, you just always know what to get and it never misses.

jack got new ethikas from alex and sabrina and they gave each other childish grins when he opened it, jack hasnt been wearing anything but ethikas for the past i dont know what years, but ive missed the silly boxers he used to wear, these dad ones, and again jaime and mike ran out of ideas so they got him a box of beer bottles and jack was pretty joyful about it.

it was his turn to open my gift, he wanted to save the biggest box for last, his face lit up immediately when he saw my gift.

"oh my god danielle..you got it??" he says while opening the cardboard box.

"what does it look like? i mean it's a sexy ass guitar, i just had to" i say while smiling wide that he liked the gift, if anything, music gear excited jack the most, whenever we were on tour or away on a holiday he'd make sure to visit atleast one music shop, and he usually atleast left with new picks or a new guitar strap.

"come here i love you" he says while smiling big like an idiot and he crushes me under his arms with his hug while he holds it and does random strums that made no sounds whatsoever.

"damnit how didnt i think of that" alex says in disappointment.

"you cant beat his girlfriend, idiot" i say while laughing, after everyone unwrapped their gifts jaime INSISTED that we try his cookies, with milk, yep, with warm milk.

"want a hand in there?" sabrina asks him.

"nope! all good!" he yells as he prepares the plates for us.

"what are we watching" i ask mike.

"no idea, i think jaime said its the descent 2" mike says while yawning.

"guys! come get your food!" jaime yells and everyone goes to grab a plate of cookies and milk, and something about how they tasted and how warm the milk felt was very comforting.

"mmm jaime what the fuck these taste amazing!" i compliment them.

"i'm just such a good chef" he brags while laughing as he flips through his USB flashdrive, looking for the movie to play it, the rest of the night was fun and everyone had a good time together.

me and jack accidentally got too hammered, too hammered that neither of us could drive, mike was staying with jaime so me and jack just slept on the couches and luckily, sabrina was the one who had alcohol responsibly so she was the one that took alex back home.
