Lilly's POV
——————
I woke up to myself being shaked by aunt Pol "Wake up Darling, it's christmas morning" she smiled. Christmas? how could anyone in this house have the guts to possibly celebrate christmas right now, it may be christmas for them but to me the 25 th December marks one year since the tragedy that was the loss of my brother..John. My heart aches everyday knowing i can't see his goofy grin again, John was my most caring, helpful and funny brother, he was always a joy to be around and my heart shattered when i heard of his passing. What a depressing christmas it was for the Shelby's.

I walked downstairs to hear lots of shouting and laughing, great everyone was here. But i roamed the room looking for one person, Finn. I know he feels the same way about this as i did.
"Finn" i sighed as i finally found him leaning against the counter talking to Isaiah "Hey Siah, Merry Christmas" "You too" he replied as he welcomed me into a hug, We pulled away and i tried to get Finn in for a chat in private "uh..Finn can i talk to you, In private" i asked looking at Isaiah during the last part.  "Yeah corse"  he answered.

We entered the kitchen which wasn't crowded, "Oh merry christmas by the way" Finn spoke to me, "Merry christmas to you too finn.. But today shouldn't be about celebrating, how rude of them to be acting like this on a day where we should be remembering our own brother!" i huffed to him "but Lil, John loved christmas so he want us to celebrate" "Yeah if he was here to celebrate with us! which he isn't and clearly everyone forgot!.......Don't you care..Finn?" i whisper shouted, Finn took a while to answer, my eyes starting to tear up during the time. "of-corse i care he was my brother too!, i just don't want christmas to be sad!" "well tough! you can't live out your happy christmas fantasies anymore Finn! Every christmas is going to be sad because of what happened and when it happened!" "John isn't here anymore Lilly, you need to get over it and let loose a little, go have fun with our family and not hang onto one who is gone and not coming back" he said clearly irritated by my concern's. But how dare he! how dare he talk about our brother like that and not give one care that i am still mourning over him "HOW DARE YOU FINN SHELBY, YES HE IS YOUR BROTHER TOO BUT YOUR NOT ACTING LIKE HE WAS" i shouted back, tears now streaming down my face. Finn looked shocked, as he should be what would he think i would react to what he said, He stayed silent for a while so i decided to speak up again. "you are nasty Finn, John would be ashamed of your actions to you own sister who is still grieving over him, your just as spiteful as the rest of them so go and enjoy your fake little christmas, put a fake smile on and act like our family is so together and fine! you know it isn't so stop pretending." i said with hatred and anger laced into my words, when i caught my breathe back i noticed Finn avoiding my gaze, Looking everywhere but into my tear filled eyes.
"You ignoring my truth is making it worse! I don't want to hear or see you for a long long time Finn, you have shocked me and proven yourself to be a careless, heartless, selfish boy just like the rest of them!" i shouted as i then stormed past him straight into my room slamming the door.

my clock turned 2pm, i was still laying in my bed, crying, and not one single person has come to check on me, not that i expected them too it's just with so many people in this house i hoped one of them would have a heart... but clearly not.

I heard a knock on my door, i knew who it was because no one else has a signature knock, "go away Siah" i sniffed "i wanna talk haven't seen you all day, It's christmas" "christmas this christmas that... blah blah blah" i muttered as i went to open the door.
Isaiah came in and sat on my bed next to me "I know what's up, Finn told me to speak to you because you don't wanna see him" "your right i don't! you don't want to know what he said Siah! it was horrible" "i don't need to know Lil, i can see in your eyes that your hurt, and what's a better way to cheer you up then me ay!" he replied, laughing at the last bit. "well...cheer me up then" i smiled as i moved to sit crossed legged on my bed facing him.

The next 2 hours consisted in dancing, laughing and falling. Yeah my heart still aches for John but Finn was right, i should be celebrating since my sadness will not change the past. It now being 4pm meant it's christmas dinner time! That's great because i am starving!

I went downstairs and Sat on the table next to Michael and Tommy and opposite Finn and Arthur. "So Little L where have you been all morning ay" Arthur spoke to me and my brothers (and cousin) as everyone else was to caught up in their own conversations "oh i was just a bit upset that's all, but i'm okay now Siah helped get me into the christmas spirit" "that's good then innit" Arthur replied shoving a whole fork full of potatoes into his mouth, i laughed "Arthur stop being a pig and have some manners" polly said as she hit him with a tea towel, this made everyone laugh and scold Arthur for acting like a pig.

The rest of my christmas was spent having fun with my very big but very loving family, I guess not all the bad things i say about my brothers are true, they have some good in them. I also made up with Finn which is great! I got lots of presents, i am a very lucky girl! But the night ended perfectly with me and my family stood outside in the midnight cool air watching a firework show Tommy had set up, I was cold so by the end of the night i had 3 jackets wrapped around my shoulders, And i bonded with my brothers witch was nice, Although one of  my brothers weren't there he was still there in my heart.....In all of our hearts.
