excited

~~~christmas eve~~~

Adie POV

                   I wake up and check my phone

A: it's christmas eve >:DDD

G: *yawn* well good morning to you too

                     I hop outta bed and before Gabbie seems to get up i'm already changed and ready. I don't have much to work with so I wore one of gabs rewired shirts and a red beanie...with pants and boots duh

G: well someone's excited

A: of COURSE i am, i haven't had a family chirstmas since...well...uh

                      Well every time we visit we didn't seem to stay around to have christmas with the family...which is fine we're chill with just us but like yanno...i never really had family chirstmas...normally my sister and i would just give each other a gift we somehow scraped together enough money to get, which mind you weren't anything amazing but it was the thought that counted of course...i remember one year i got pokemon cards, i was so excited bout em i kept them, and i still have some of em. In fact, the lucky one of the pack, being a garchomp, is always in my wallet...

A: anyways let's get breakfast

G: ight hold on *stretches*...you go ahead, i'll meet ya down there

A: okay

                    I head down to the lobby floor with my suitcase and carry on and get us a table. Gabbie joins me and we get breakfast. I notice some kids at the table next to us just as excited as i am

G: well someone's excited 

A: of course i am i've never done the whole...yanno...well yanno 

G: pretending to be s-

A: shhh

                   I tilt my head in the direction of the kids 

G: oh...right...well you've never done it?

A: my mom wasn't really one for christmas...to look at lights i'd have to walk with my sis around...which mom didn't care bout since she didn't...really care *clears throat*

                    I'd rather not talk bout this

G: oh...well um don't worry, it's fun

A: yeah i'm sure

G: ight so basically we're gonna have a party

A: cool!

                      I finish my plate and go for some more pancakes and bacon. I normally wouldn't but like it's the holiday season, no one cares, no one will even notice. As i'm walking back to our table someone taps my shoulder

?: oh my God are you adie rider?

A: yeah, that's me

H: hey i'm harely, my brother is such a big fan...could i get a picture for him?

A: uh, yeah sure

                   We take a selfie and she looks at my plate

H: damn really packing it in aren't you

                    ...well...gee thanks...totally needed that very necessary comment. I make up a quick lie to feel a lil better

A: uh well...i didn't really have dinner last night is all

H: oh, gotcha, well i gotta go. thanks for the selfie

A: no prob

                        I sit back down and kinda just push my food away

G: hey what's wrong?

A: i'm not hungry...anymore

G: you sure?

A: i...do you think i'm eating too much?

G: what? no...why?

A: just...yanno someone kinda just said-

G: i've dealt with that before...you just gotta ignore it

A: i know

G: are you still hungry?

A: ...yeah

G: then eat. it's that simple

A: okay...yeah okay, thanks

                               I finish my second plate and we put the dishes in the dish bin

A: okay so the gifts are in the car right?

G: yep gifts in the car... all we have to do is check out and once the kids go to bed around nine we'll have like two hours to get to the airport

A: alright perfect

                                I roll my suitcase to the car and after a bit, gabbie comes out. We shove the suitcases in the back 

A: alright...now what?

G: oh i have one more surprise while we're here before we head to moms

A: ooooh can i guess what it is?

G: no cause if you guess something cooler i'd feel bad                 

A: oh that makes sense
