"The New Castmate" Noah Schnapp x Female Reader

Chapter 12: Christmas and New Years

(Y/n POV)

Dear Diary, today is day 53 since not seeing Noah, and I really miss him. I haven't really been keeping up with my daily diary entries, since becoming an actress and everything, so here is a little catch up of what you missed. My boyfriend, Noah, called me on the phone and said he was moving away to start filming a movie, meaning we wouldn't be able to see each other as much anymore, because I live in (y/h/t - pretend it's in like New Jersey or Maryland or a state in northeast U.S) so it's a somewhat easy driving distance to Scarsdale, New York. Atlanta on the other hand, tough to drive to, I know from experience. It's currently been a month and 24 days so I only have to wait about 2 more weeks. Today is December 24th, Christmas Eve, I better get ready! (a/n; sorry if you don't celebrate Christmas, just go along with it for the story, but if you want to skip the chapter because of this, I totally understand.) 

Since today is Christmas Eve, I get to celebrate a lot of traditions with my family. Since Noah is Jewish and doesn't really celebrate Christmas, I don't think I'm gonna wish him a Merry Christmas Eve. I got ready by getting a shower, then changing into some comfy clothes to wear underneath my snow attire for later, I went downstairs to eat breakfast, and then hung out with my family for some time. I then get told by my brother to put on snow pants and a snow jacket and go outside to my backyard because we are gonna have a snowball fight. I follow the task as it's a tradition we made when I was four and he was six, we only had to skip out on the tradition last year because there was no snow. We went outside and had our snowball fight, and after about fifteen minutes we went back in because we were freezing. I went upstairs to my room to get changed. I took off my snow gear to put in the laundry room as it was soaked. I came back into my room and opened my closet to get my pajamas. To my surprise, Noah was standing in my closet. We didn't say anything, it was just silence. We kissed for like a minute and hugged for what felt like ages. Noah finally said "Hi Y/N, I missed you. I don't really celebrate, but I wanted to say Merry Christmas" "I missed you too, Noah. I thought you weren't supposed to be near home for another 2 weeks." "Well, I lied to surprise you, so you weren't expecting it. But I know you wanted to get changed, so I'm gonna leave to give you privacy. Meet you downstairs?" "Yes, I'll meet you downstairs, thanks Noah." Noah is the absolute best, such a well behaved and proper gentleman. I get changed and walk downstairs, while sitting next to Noah. We talked with my family for a while, until we put on Home Alone to watch with popcorn and hot cocoa. After the movie was over, Noah and I went upstairs to my bedroom. Noah got changed while I stepped outside of my room to give him some privacy. I went back into my room when Noah said I could come in, and we cuddled in my bed and watched High School Musical, because it is iconic, until I fell asleep.

TIME SKIP

Today is New Year's Eve, Noah is leaving in two days. It is currently 7:45am and Noah has been sleeping into about 8am. I decided to make homemade waffles for my family, but since they don't usually wake up until 9am, I am going to make him breakfast in bed. I bring upstairs 4 waffles (2 for each of us) with butter, syrup, and whipped cream. I got myself an iced coffee and Noah some tea. I saw that he was sitting up on my bed, scrolling through TikTok. I gave him his breakfast, along with a hug and a kiss. We ate our breakfast and drank our drinks. We made a couple TikToks, and then went downstairs and I saw my family downstairs, they were eating the waffles I made and thanked me for them. After about 30 minutes, my parents sent Noah and I into our shed and our attic to get decorations for our New Year's Party tonight. My parents throw one every year and invite my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, along with like 3-8 groups of close family friends depending on the year. This year I decided to invite the Stranger Things cast. The only people able to show up were Millie, Sadie, and Joe Keery. We got tables and chairs from the shed and brought them inside and down to our basement. From our attic, we got reusable tablecloths, black, gold, and white streamers and balloons, along with a happy new year sign. We hung them up as my parents went to go get 2022 balloons and some snacks for the party. It was now about 11am and Noah and I decided to go to the mall, we went to the Lazer Tag store and played a few rounds and then got food in the food court and we got slushies and pretzels. We then went into Ulta and I made Noah pose in front of the Florence by Mills section so we could send the photo to Millie. I got some makeup for the party tonight, and I went to a store to buy a dress for the night. Noah wanted to go to a few stores of his choice so I went in with him. We went to Hot Topic to look for Stranger Things merch, and to f.y.e look for some music or dvds. I ended up getting 1989 by Taylor Swift on vinyl. We ended the day by getting photos in the photo booth and posted the photos to my private finsta, as I wanted my friends to see it, but not mine and Noah's fans. On my private account, I have the Stranger Things cast and crew, my friends, and my family, so I decided, with Noah's permission, that it was safe to post.
