Tyler's pov

Month 51 

Merry Christmas! By the time you're reading this, it probably wont be Christmas, probably a few months before or after, or way before and after,  but that's okay, Christmas all year long is good for the soul! 

Unless you like Halloween more, then get outta here! 

I'm kidding, I love Halloween. 

Anyways! Today, you and I are going on an adventure! Joshua has to work until very late tonight so we're gonna surprise him with an amazing dinner. He said he wanted to just have a giant dinner with my mom and my siblings, but that wouldn't be for a while due to everyone's job and such. And I just wanted a small one with him and I so that's what I'm doing!

I am currently on the way to Walmart to get the necessities, the dinner and dessert foods. And I wanna get him like, this last minute present. I got him a few things, all he's gonna love, but this one I just feel he's gonna love more than any of them. I just need to see how expensive it is, and I'll go from there. 

I pull into the big shopping center parking lot, find a parking space and then shut off the car. It's fucking freezing, as it's the end of December, so I have to put on all nine fucking layers of jackets and sweaters just to almost die of heat stroke when I get inside. I love winter in Ohio!

I get out of the car, lock it then walk to and enter the store. Now, all I need is the ham, the stuffing and some side veggies. Like, corn and peas. Now the dessert, I don't know what to do for that. Maybe apple pie, I know he likes it but I don't. I like pumpkin pie, but he doesn't. I could do two separate pies, that could work. But that's pointless, we'll both eat a total of three slices and the rest would go to waste. Fine, whatever I'll just stick with the apple. 

I walk down the frozen isle and literally everything is empty. The shelves are completely bare, no ham in sight. This is why I shouldn't have waited until Christmas day. Whatever, I'm sure they have turkey. I stroll down the isles, the frozen, the frozen meats, the canned food, literally nothing. They have nothing I need. No ham, no turkey, no stuffing, no veggies. This is literally Walmart, how is there nothing?! Are you fucking kidding me, oh my God I can't believe this. 

Fuck fucking Walmart, man.

I went  to three different stores, they had jack shit. I literally just got sandwich meat turkey and canned vegetables with boxed mashed potatoes. He's literally going to hate me. I should've just listened to him! Why do I always have to go and try to surprise people, they always turn out shitty and I'm never able to do what I want. This shit is fucking so dumb, he's going to be so upset. All I wanted was to give him a nice cooked ham when he got home from work. 

Wait, oh my God, even if I did get the ham, it wouldn't have been done after he got home! It would've taken so long for it to actually cook, so I kinda lucked out with that one. 

This Christmas is already horrible, what the fucking hell. 

Slumping down in a kitchen chair, I sigh and put my head in my hands. I don't care if this is our fifth Christmas together, it's the first one that's this shitty. He's gonna be so upset. 

"Tyler!" He yells, unlocking and opening the front door. "I'm ho- oh, hi Tyler." He smiles upon seeing me. 

I lift my head from my hands and weakly smile at him. "Hi." 

"What's wrong?" He asks closing the door and walking to sit next to me. 

"I ruined Christmas!" I say, a bit exaggerated.
