(Christmas day)

I heard a loud boom and I shot up right away. Thinking I heard a gun shot, I jumped up and rushed to put on my clothes. Its too early, I said 10:00pm not am. I ran, almost falling down the stairs. When I got down there I saw Darren standing there looking back at me. He had a huge box in front of him.

There was a long silence.

"I had to move the box myself, and it was heavy" He said awkwardly pointing at the huge box in front of him. I looked around and seen that nobody else was down here.

"Why are you up so early?" I rubbed my head which was still aching from all the partying we was doing last night. And yet, here this nigga is standing here sober as fuck. He drunk more then any of us. My stomach started to growl as I smelt the holiday food. They must of got up early to finish cooking.

"Its Christmas duhh. And this just came. So if you excuse me, I gotta go get my fyee ass wrapping paper" He walked past me, to the stairs. I shook my head. Damn I'm still drunk, high, and now I'm paranoid. I walked back up the stairs. I ended up running into Key. In that moment I remembered a bunch of memories of us from when we were together. She just kept walking like she ain't even see me. I wanted to say sum but the time ain't right yet. Just not yet. I walked past everyone's room. I had no choice cuz mines at the end of the hallway.

"Merry Christmas nigga" I heard JJ say. I turned and he was standing in the hallway too.

"Preciate it. Same to you" I shortly said before walking away. I couldn't feel any type of sympathy for any of them. All of them have sum coming to them. Pain, suffering, heartbreak. Everything I've been feeling, they gon feel it too. One way or another. I figure out how to hurt each and every one of them. Well except Dimitri. I haven't found a way to reach him yet. Hell, ion even know where that lil nigga stay. Haven't seen him since when me and Key broke up. I looked up and didn't even realize I was sitting in my bed. I was so hooked on all my thoughts. The fact that the closest people to me, turned into strangers to me quickly. It hurts. I don't know if I'm right for what I've planned or if I'm wrong. But I have no time for second guessing. I gotta do what I gotta do.

"Aye come on. We all downstairs. Bring your grouchy ass on" Jay stood in my door frame. I couldn't stand her. We used to be coo but deep down I always hated her. There was this one phrase she always used to say when I was still with Key. "I'm permanent, your just temporary" She used to say. Key told me not to pay attention to it. "That's just her way of showing you she coo wit you, kinda" Key used to reassure me. I used to believe that but, between me and Jay who won in the end, her. I know I shouldn't look at it like that but that's how my mind thinks. Damn am I crazy?

"Jeremiah! Come on" Jay waved her hand. I looked up again.

"Man you gon stop using my first name like that" I tried to hide my smile

"Or what? You ain't go do shit" She laughed walking away. I got up and walked back downstairs. Everyone was still wearing they pj's. I smelt hot chocolate.

"I don't care bruh my presents are the best, look at the wrapping paper. I'm just the best. How does it feel to suck ya'll?" Dar Dar bragged. I looked towards the big ass tree in our living room. Fully decorated and a bunch of presents under the tree.

"For the last time, nobody gives a fuck nigga" JJ came from the front door, holding more presents. Jay was in the kitchen and Key was sitting at the island. I didn't see Ka'mari. He was probably still in the room.
