I lay in the living room of Precious and Grey's home with my head in Maeve's lap and a blanket over my body. Everyone decided to have a movie night and I couldn't help but agree.

I haven't seen my parents since this morning. Not that I'm complaining.

"I don't want to watch fucking Elf" Christina slightly yells. Oh yeah she's arrived and let me tell you, it's been hell.

"Then close your damn eyes" Brandon snaps making her snap her head to look at him. Yeah.. Brandon doesn't approve of her.

I don't blame him. She's still the same person she was all those years ago.

"I'm so sick of you Brent" She says pointing her finger at Brandon.

"It's Brandon you ugly plastic bitch"

Christina stood up ready to walk over to Brandon causing me to snap up and stand in between them. "Sit your ass down" I say to my sister as I glare at her.

She glares at me but doesn't say anything. Rolling her eyes, she returns to where she was sitting and I sit back down. I lay my head back in Maeve's lap with a look of annoyance.

Fucking children I deal with.

"Yeah watch yourself" Brandon says to Christina making her flip him off with her long fake acrylic nails.

"Shut the fuck up Brandon" I snap.

"Yes ma'am"

I almost laugh at his response but instead just shake my head and remain quiet. "I got popcorn and snacks" Precious says coming into the living room with two bowls of junk food. Grey comes in a second later with the popcorn bowls.

Immediately I grab a bowl of junk food while Brandon grabs the other. Christina takes one of the popcorn bowls while Precious and Grey share the other one.

Sitting up, I offer Maeve some of the snacks in the bowl. "Thanks" she says before taking a packet of m&ms from the bowl. I nod and pop some skittles in my mouth.

"Okay so what we watching?" Grey asks and I just shrug in response.

"Ou let's watch the boy called Christmas" Precious says and everyone silently agrees making her grab the remote and turn on Netflix.

"Uh Precious where's your Christmas decorations" Maeve then asks suddenly while Precious looks for the movie.

"Oh I been so busy wedding planning that I never took the time to go buy some and set up"

Maeve and I both look at each other before smiling big. "We'll decorate the house for you" we both say at the same time before laughing lightly.

Maeve and I use to always go to each other's houses and decorate together when we were younger. Her parents got so use to it that they never put up decorations, they just waited for us to do it because they knew we were going to.

"You guys sure?" Grey asked us.

"Of course" I nod my head to Maeve's response.

"Thank you guys" Precious says sending us both a smile.

Everyone quieted down as the movie started and I put some of the blanket on Maeve to share. She thanked me and found herself laying her head on my shoulder halfway through the movie.

Not that I was complaining.

I look down at her as the end credits of the movie rolled on and smile as she snores lightly. Everyone chose to watch another movie and I didn't say anything as I cuddled the sleeping Maeve to my chest. She shifted in her sleep and found herself burying her face in my neck as she breathed softly.
