chapter twenty-two
I'm back in your arms, but
everything's changed, now
we've been to hell and back
again

ALYSSA SAT ON the arm of the couch of the LaRusso house, her legs extended in front of her and her arm pressing into Demetri's shoulder. She sighed, slightly adjusting the cream sweater she was wearing that was paired with a red plaid skirt with a pair of shorts underneath because it was a little short, black tights, and black combat boots.

Sam had invited everyone in Miyagi-Do over for a Christmas party, but the party wasn't partying like it should have. All of them were just sitting there in silence while Sam paced in front of them, honestly looking a little anxious.

"Well, this Christmas party's turning out to be ho-ho-horrible," Demetri stated.

"Yeah, Sam," Chris agreed. "I thought you said your parents are gonna be out for the night. So why aren't we throwing a rager?"

"There's a keg on the way," Sam replied. Alyssa raised an eyebrow — she didn't buy it. "It's just gonna be a few more minutes."

"Can we at least put on a Christmas special?" Demetri complained. "I'd even watch that creepy one with the little elf dentist." He then noticed Sam's confused expression. "Yeah, I'm that bored."

"Hey, do not diss Rudolph like that," Alyssa protested, hitting his shoulder. She shook her head. "Unbelievable."

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Sam got a smile on her face. "It's here."

Alyssa turned around. She watched as Sam opened the door, only for Miguel, Bert, and Mitch to enter. Protests immediately sounded from Demetri, Chris, Nate, Stiven, and Jared, and they got up from the couch to rush towards the door. Alyssa rolled her eyes and got up from the couch as well. She crossed her arms across her chest.

"'Sup, Miguel," Alyssa said.

Miguel waved at her. "Hey, Als."

"Oh, hell no!" Chris exclaimed, his gaze right on Mitch. "You gotta be kidding me."

Mitch glared at him. "What the hell are you doing here?" He looked at Miguel. "This isn't a keg party." He ripped of his glittery green Santa hat. "I bought this hat for nothing."
