It's a somewhat warm winters morning, i wake up to the sounds of lots of movement. I check my calendar to see the day and when I see what day it is I let out a huge sigh and burry my head into my hands. It's the day of festivities, every 8th of December we prepare for the winter ball that usually happens at 7:30pm.I quickly pack some snacks and change into some warm clothes, "I don't see the point in having a winter ball it's pretty ridiculous if you ask me" I say to sawyer my stick man I got from the park. Sawyer says nothing and stays still after all he is a stick, I continue on "I don't mean to act like a scoorge and be the grinch but I just don't understand why people from far and wide come over to our house to dress up and dance and act like a totally different person from who they actually are!" Sawyer still says nothing. I take sawyer and go at the top of the stairs and slide down the banister and jump down to the floor at the end, and run out the front door to go to the park to the spot where I found my stick man. The boy was there today, the same boy I saw the first day I came to the park I walk up to him this time he doesn't run away instead he stays and avoids eye contact with me. I sit down on the snowy floor and draw pictures in the snow. He then sits beside me and draws pictures too, for hours and hours we draw pictures until we notice it's getting a bit dark, as I get up wiping the snow off from my clothes he stands up too and gives me a smile and a small wave before I can react or do anything he runs away disappearing in the snowy hill. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I get home I see the house decorated fulled with Christmas decor. "Cathal dear can you please go upstairs and wash up and wear the clothes I put on your bed, guests are coming soon" I hear mom shout from the dance room. As I slowly head up stairs I then hear my mom add "oh and Victoria will help you run a warm bubble bath and will help with doing your hair!" I get a bit irritated hearing the fact Victoria has to help me with my normal grooming, as soon as I enter my room Victoria is by my bed holding a towel with both her hands and then suddenly my irritation goes away and my heart softens and remember how Victoria is more than a maid she's family well I think that's what I just think. Victoria has been working around the house ever since I was born, when we left Summerset I just couldn't help but think what would happen to her when we are not there but mum says it's ok and that gran and grandpa are looking after her and she's looking after our house back at summerset but I still couldn't help but miss and worry for her. "Good evening young master" she says with a bright smile on her face and curtsies clumsily and gives me a wink, I break into a smile and run to her and give her a hug "Tori! I missed you" I shout in a cheerful tone of voice. Ive always feel comfortable with Victoria she makes me laugh and I can always talk to her when I need to speak to someone. "I'll run you a warm bubble bath and then you can go clean yourself up in the bath while I straighten up your suit" she says while hugging me. When she leaves the room so I can undress and take a bath I place my stick man on the toilet facing towards me while I bath and tell him all about my day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
