|4.| Still Bleeding

December 25, 2009

Running upstairs, I barged into my room going to my computer. I clicked on video chat and Terrences name. It rang twice until he picked it up.

"Merry Christmas!" I yelled, jumping out of my seat giggling.

Terrence laughed, he was wearing a Santa outfit. "Ho Ho ho, Merry Christmas baby girl."

"I got you a present."

"You did?" Terrence asked looking surprised, I frowned, we always give each other presents.

"Yea..Just because you moved doesn't mean we have to stop getting presents for one another." I muttered playing with the ends of my dress.

"I know, it's just...with you and your dad struggling..I didn't..." He trailed off, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh!" I giggled, "No I saved up for it, I mowed a couple lawns and painted a couple fences. I even sold Loli."

Terrence's eyes widened, "You sold Loli?" He asked incredulously.

Loli was a little toy doggy that I've had since I was two, I couldn't sleep without her but I'll manage. Loli was still in good shape and they didn't sell her anymore so someone paid like fifteen bucks for her.

I nodded, "I'll eventually get some sleep without her."

"Oh, Neo you didn't have to do that. Really."

"I know, but I wanted to." I smiled.

"Speaking of your present, your mom should be giving it to you in 3...2....1-"

"Terrence you got something in the mail!" His mother called from the distance.

Terrence laughed and ran to go get it, he came back with a big package.

"Open it."

The sound of cardboard ripping was soon heard and Terrence gasped. Bouncing excitedly I laughed, "Do you like it?"

"I love it, how did you manage to pay for these?"

I had gotten him two tickets to a soccer game I heard was going on in Nashville, sometime around June.

"I have my ways..theres more keep looking."

I had also gotten him a Vampire Weekend shirt and some soccer cleats for when he's older, they're supposed to be really good so they won't wear out.

"Sick! I've been wanting a Vampire Weekend shirt." He exclaimed excitedly.

"Uh, these cleats are a bit big.." He said holding them up.

"I know, you'll grow into them. They're supposed to last long time."

"Ohh, yeah my mom will be happy about not having to buy me a whole bunch when I'm older."

"What did your parents get you?" I asked, fiddling with my dress.

"A new soccer ball and some beanies, oh and a phone." He said holding up an expensive looking phone.

I nodded smiling, "That's cool."

"What did your dad get you?"

My smiled dropped, "Oh..uh, nothing."

"Oh..don't worry old gramps probably has something up his sleeve." Terrence said trying to lighten the mood.

I gave him a weary smile, "yea he uh, came home drunk, he's passed out right now."
