Chapter 31: Its Christmas
"Hunter." I swat his hands away.

"Merry Christmas baby girl!" He kisses my cheek. My eyes open slowly, and he's laying next to me, smiling.

"Wow, time flies."

"Yup. We're going home today."

"Yay!" I get up. He's already dressed, and I see the car is all set.

"Okay, get changed, and we'll be on our way." He smiles, then gets up. I grab a sweatshirt, and leggings, and quickly pull them on.

Then I hop to the front seat, and rest my head on the window as I wait for my lover. "Today's gonna be a good day. I know it." I smile as he get in.

"Of course, little baby Jesus was born today!" He chuckles.

I smile, and we are on our way.

Isn't it strange how one moment people are there for you, and the next they are gone?

Hunter took me to see my family's graves. He knew exactly where they were.

We didn't spend a ton of time there, but it completed number 15. I had a whole conversation with them. I cried, which is expected. But they were happy tears, for I have learned a lot from their death.

I've never visited, for I was too scared that they wouldn't love me, or they wouldn't even care, which is funny, since they are gone. But it was good that I visited my once old friends, new again.

* * * *

When we got home, it was snowing.

"Hunter! We need to visit Lilly!" I giggle, as I run through the snow like a little child.

"We need to see my family first, you little child." He waves me over. I nod, and we drive the rest of the way home.

"Hey Dawn, Michael." I give my second family hugs.

"I hope your trip was eventful, and fun." Dawn says. I smile, and Hunter wraps his arms protectively around me.

"I'm going to drop B off at Lilly's house for like three hours, and then we'll be back for dinner."

"Have fun!" Dawn says on our way out.

"Will do!" I wave, then we get back into the car. "I have her present, and I'm all set."

"What did you get her?"

"Some candles, and nail polish." I say. "And a Starbucks gift card."

"Of course." He rolls his eyes.

* * * *

"Hey Lil-Billie!" I hug my best friend.

"Hey Brookie." She hugs me tightly. I hand her gift to her, and we rush upstairs. Of course I say goodbye to Hunter.

"So, how was your weekend?" She leans over, we are on her bed. "Look at this!" She shows me her phone, it's Hunter's Instagram, and it's a picture of me sleeping.

@HunterSamuels: my sunshine <3

I smile.

"He's the cutest." Lilly smiles. "Levi got me this." She gets up to one of her jewelry drawers, and pulls out the prettiest necklace I've seen. It has a gold chain, and a feather pendent at the end. "Real diamonds too!" She squeals.

"Woah!" My eyes widen. "He's a keeper."

"Yup. I've known that since I've heard him first song. He's even coming over after his dinner to watch a Christmas movie. What are you and Hunt gonna do?"

"I dunno." I shrug.

"Ooh, I almost forgot your present." She hands me a package. I sigh, and unwrap it. "Wait!" She says, before I open the box. "Remember that I love you so much. And I'm just so excited." She squeals.

"Okayyy." I say slowly. I look down at the box, and continue opening it. Then when I open to see the inside, there's two plane tickets to Paris. "Shut. Up." I pull them out. "Shut up!" I say again, then look at her.

"Eeek!" She smiles. "In May we are going, for our senior trip. Just us two for a whole month, all around Europe. My family funded this for me."

"You are the best best friend in the world." I hug her.

For the next hour and a half, we talk about the plans for Europe. And before I know it, Hunter's at the door, ready to pick me up. "Hunter, IM GOING TO PARIS!" I jump on him.

"What?"

"Long story. Let's go, I'll tell you later." I get down. I hug Lilly, and wish her a Merry Christmas.

I think we are driving home, but we are actually driving to my home. "Hunter." I groan.

"Babe, it's okay." He looks at me. "I just need to grab something. Come with." He gets out, then opens my car. He grasps my hand, and we walk in.

The first thing I notice (besides the alcohol scent) is that it's freezing cold. I know my step dad is away, so it's expected. Hunter pulls me upstairs, and into my old room. And too be honest, I don't miss it at all.

On the desk is a thing of keys. He grabs them, and hands them to me. "Here's to a new beginning."

My eyes widen. "Hunter, no." I hand them back.

"Come on. It's an apartment in New York, no biggie."

"No biggie?!" I frown. "Hunter, you've done more than enough for me."

"Please let me do this. I even got you a job at a photography place. It's like you have your own business started, and people working for you. You have a studio and everything."

"Hu-" I start.

"Please. You deserve it. After living here for so many years." He looks around. I sigh, and cuddle into his arms. He hugs me tightly, then kisses my forehead.

"Merry Christmas Bean."

"Merry Christmas."
