George pov

I never liked winter, the snow disturbs me pretty much and i don't like celebrating Christmas & New year. When people say that it brings them happiness, do they really mean it?
Every single year something bad happens to me at winter, i once got run over by a car on the christmas eve. I was being very careful that day, but i guess it's just my unluckyness, this year there is nothing new. The city is covered in snow and chirtsmas decorations, people are really happy at winter, they can play in snow, hangout with their families and friends, help people decorate their houses and much more.

My name is George, I'm currently 21 and have no plans on celebrating Christmas. I live alone right now. My parents died 2 years ago and now im the one who's taking care of my family, I have a sister, her name is Gabby and she's only 8, but somehow ended up with a dangerous sickness. I visit her almost everyday and work hard in my job in order to pay for her surgery which costs 5000$.

"Good morning george! Have you seen the snow?" my neighbor asked me as i walked out of my apartment

"Morning mr.grapes - i did see the snow but you know that i don't celebrate Christmas and new year, so it's nothing exciting for me" i started locking my apartment's door

"You should try celebrating it someday, it's very fun"

"It's fun for people who still have faith in their future mr. I'll be going now"

"Of course. Take care mr.notfound"

I got the keys out of the door's lock and walked outside, the path was covered in snow and it was full of kids running around and making snowmans

"Good morning george!" my neighbor's daughter Annie yelled

"Morning Annie, what are you up to?"

She ran up to me with a wide smile on her face "I'm making a snowman with my friend Joe!"

"That's great, im sure it will turn out good!"

"Thank you! How's gabby? When is she coming back?"

I sighed as my smile quickly faded away. I still had faith that gabby would survive, however i simply couldn't afford the surgery no matter how hard i work. I have 4 jobs yet i still can't get 5000 in 5 months

I kneeled down to look at Annie " She's doing better, you will be able to play with her soon"

"Yay! I'll be waiting" Annie rushed off to her friend Joe while i slowly stood back up.

Lying to a kid may be wrong, but she's too young to know the truth about my little sister

I looked in the distance and saw some kids playing with their parents and friends, hopefully their faith isn't as bad as mine.

I walked away and crossed the road. I live in a big city - New York, it is always decorated very well for chirtsmas and new year, that's the only thing i like. Some people have a dream such as living in new york, we do have big luxury hotels which are filled with gold and rich things, however it's always noisy and you can't do something without someone interrupting

I brushed my scarf against my nose since it was pretty cold outside. The hospital was right behind the luxury hotel, which is not so far from my apartment

I looked up at the hotel to admire its beauty but instead i got-

(smash)

The cold snow hit my whole face. Some snow got in my eye so i couldn't get it out for a long time. I brushed my hands around my eyes hoping for the snow to get out as i heard someone speak up
