It was you, all along.

Our own little Christmas. (Chapter 30)

AHHHH CHAPTER 30! WOO! <3

Lia's POV

Steam swirled up from my mug and I smiled. I grabbed a handful of marshmallows and sprinkled them onto my hot chocolate. I gazed up at the window. Snow was falling from the sky. I smiled, I was full of content. I turned around and sat down on the couch. 

J: "I know it's not really Christmas eve, but boy does it feel that way."

He was right. It was only the 22nd, but Jamie was going home on the 24th and me and Aliya were going home on the 25th, so we can only really do Christmas eve as a group tonight. 

"I agree."

A: "Same"

Aliya said through a bite of ginger bread.

I giggled and pecked her on the cheek.

J: "OOoh Hampton's here!"

I smiled as Hampton walked in. I've got to admit, Jamie chose a good one. 

H: "Hey guys, what move are we watching?"

"Hmm, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer?"

A: "Yes! That is such a classic."

J: "Well then it's been decided."

We all laughed. I cuddled up next to Aliya and rested my head on her shoulder. I looked over and saw Jamie was doing the same with Hampton. I smiled and focused on the movie. 

----------------------------------------------------------

"Man I love that movie so much!"

H: "Yup, it's a classic for sure."

I yawned and stood 

"Well, I'm gonna go to sleep."

A: "I'll come."

I saw Jamie snicker and I rolled my eyes. 

H: "Alright. Jamie do you wanna stay up later?"

J: "Uhh, maybe not. Let's go to bed."

Hampton nodded and stood with Jamie. Me and Aliya walked into my room and Jamie walked into his room with Hampton. I layed down beside Aliya and snuggled in. I closed my eyes and peacefully drifted into sleep. 

-------------------------Next morning------------------------

I woke up around 6, not being able to contain my excitement. I shook Aliya awoke.

A: "Hmmm.. what?"

"C'mon! We're gonna open presents and eat gingerbread!" 

She chuckled and got up. We dashed into Jamie's room and shook them awake. 

J: "mmmm"

Hampton sat up quickly

H: "Fire?!"

I laughed 

"No fire, I just wanna open presents and eat gingerbread." 

Hampton laughed 

H: "Alright c'mon Jamie."

J: "noooo it's to early"

We all gasped. 

"It's never too early!"

Hampton picked up Jamie and we ran to the living room 

J: "Alright alright I'm up!"
