Christmas Eve came quickly after the shopping trip with JJ. I made the short car journey up to my dads; my parents had split up when I was a child so this year I was spending Christmas with Dad, and lucky too; Mum had still made no effort to get in contact with me, despite my calls, texts and visits to her house.
Dad welcomed me with a hug when I arrived at his doot late on Christmas Eve. The family were around; my grandparents, aunties and uncles, cousins; the usual. We played old games like cards all night; it felt like being a kid again, being back at home. It was only when I got into bed after all of the fuss and excitement that I recieved a text. That familiar name flashed across the phone screen; I quickly unlocked my phone and opened the text.
'Hey! Merry Christmas for tomorrow, I'll see you at 6pm! JJ x'
Smiling, I quickly texted him back.
'Hello, and a Merry Christmas to you too! I'll see you at 6pm! Eva x'
I lay the phone back down on the bed and glanced at the time; 11:59pm. Suddenly it turned to 12am. Smiling slightly, I looked up at the ceiling. 'Merry Christmas JJ' I whispered to myself before my eyelids began to droop and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
*JJ's POV*
My phone vibrated loudly as her text came through.
'Hello, and a Merry Christmas to you too! I'll see you at 6pm! Eva x'
I lay the phone back down on the bed and glanced at the time; it had just turned 12am. Smiling slightly, I looked up at the ceiling. 'Merry Christmas Eva, I love you' I whispered to myself before my eyelids began to droop and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
*Eva's POV*
I woke up that Christmas morning to screams from my younger cousins; just as I had done as a child. It was cold that morning, but very bright; the Sun's rays poured through my bedroom window, almost blinding me as my Dad pulled open the curtains.
'23 years old and I'm still doing this for you! Merry Christmas!' he exclaimed cheerfully to me.
'Merry Christmas!' I mumbled, stretching my arms out from under the warmth of the duvet.
Me and my family made our way downstairs, my cousins filled with excitement. They ripped open their presents like a pack of wolves; as they recieved the present inside their faces turned to gratitude.
The morning of Christmas day passed quickly; my family watched some television and played a game of Monopoly. We did'nt mention Mum through the Christmas dinner; Dad had'nt spoke to her for years so I rarely mentioned her to him. I had'nt texted her today, and I was'nt going to; I had made my effort, it was her turn to do the same. Why would she have such a bad reaction to JJ anyway? JJ! I was supposed to meet him today! As it turned 5pm, I thanked my family for Christmas, waved my Dad goodbye and made the short car journey back home. It had gone too fast this year!
It had been a great day, the best Christmas since before my accident. But there was still more to come...JJ.
*JJ's POV*
I knocked on her door at exactly 6pm. This was it. I did'nt have to tell her about the past tonight, just let her know that I liked her a lot. A thousand thoughts flooded through my mind as I pondered over what to do. Then I looked up; a sprig of Mistletoe hung above my head; perfect!
'Hello!' she exclaimed as she opened the door. I smiled brightly at her; the first Christmas I had seen her since the accident, but she still looked like how she did those two years ago; perfect. I couldn't wait around any longer; this was it. Before she had time to react, I held the Mistletoe sprig I had just picked above her head and pressed my lips to hers; and to my relief, she kissed me back.
*Eva's POV*
'Hello!' I exclaimed as I opened the door. He smiled brightly as our eyes met; it was still like a dream, I was spending Christmas with JJ Hamblett! All of a sudden, he pulled a plant from behind his back, but it was'nt just any plant; it was Mistletoe. Before I could react, he leaned into my face and his soft lips pressed against mine. A warmth shot through my body, sparks flying around my head as his kiss became more passionate, his warm hands moving to my waist, pulling me into his chest. He ran his hands through my hair as he lead me through the doorway against the wall. He pulled away, breathing heavily and so was I. 'Merry Christmas' We both laughed, staring into eachover's eyes.
'Stay tonight?' I gasped, still breathing heavily from the slight shock. He nodded eagerly before continuing to kiss me passionately, his hands wandering over my body.
This was'nt happening. JJ, a member of Union J was kissing...kissing me? It felt strange. It felt like a dream. It felt, it felt right. After all, I did like him a lot even after the short time spent together. The boy from the stables, who would of thought it?
*JJ's POV*
Finally, I'd got her back. Tomorrow I'd tell her the story, of before the accident, before everything. She was sure to understand, and things would go back to normal. After all, I still loved her, even after all of this time. The girl from the stables, who would of thought it?
