Days of December [CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!]

December 8 - Late Night Walks Pt. 2

------------------------------------
December 7,
24 Hours Earlier
With Aaliyah & Tom
-------------------------------------

Aaliyah had been walking with Tom by her side for awhile now.

They passed numerous houses, with the prettiest decorations that were laid out.

They both argued on which houses were the best decorated, and which houses were the worst.

It was extremely awkward at first, but that soon melted away. And it was like the big break up never happened.

They used to do this when they were together. They used to walk up and down the streets of London, looking at the beautifully decorated houses during the best time of the year.

She couldn't help but look at him, and take in his gorgeous features that she missed more than anything.

They came across a small park--the trees and bushes decorated lights of all sizes and colors.

Underneath one of the trees, there was a rickety little bench. It was surrounded by flowers and grass, making it look like it was something out of a movie.

Aaliyah and Tom ended up sitting on the bench, just enjoying each other's company.

They were both mesmerized by the hanging lights above them,

Aaliyah looked over at Tom who was staring up at the tree and it lights.

This reminded her of when they used to sneak out in the middle of the night, just to be with each other and to stargaze.

It made her realize how she was so incredibly in love with him.

Tom suddenly looked down, the small smile on his face slowly falling.

"I'm sorry." He said, turning his head towards Aaliyah,

She was a little taken back by this, "Wha-"

"--I'm sorry, for everything." His voice slightly broke.

It didn't take Aaliyah long for her to figure out what he meant.

Of course she knew. That's the reason why you're here isn't it?

....

"I know you are." She whispers, looking back down at her feet.

"..you'll probably never forgive me, and I'm not expecting you to," he paused, trying to get a good look at her face,

"I was an asshole. More than that even. I don't even know what I was thinking."

Aaliyah chuckled slightly, "Yeah you, you really were." She said laughing, wiping a tear off her cheek.

"I'm sorry. I'm so, so so, fucking sorry."

Aaliyah didnt know if she wanted to believe him. What if it was just a trap?

"Aaliyah...Darling,"

Darling. He always used to call her that when she was sad. It would always somehow cheered her up, whenever she heard him say that, her day would instantly get better.

She gasped, her eyes watered as she watched as he interlocked their fingers together,

"I don't want you to forgive me, even though it would be nice," he chuckled, "I want to show you how sorry I am, darling. Okay?"

"Hey, look at me, look at me, don't cry. Don't cry, I know, I know..." He pulled her into a hug, the most warm hug, that they both ever felt in such a long while.

"I'm sorry I did this to you." Tom hated seeing Aaliyah like this. He still loved her and never stopped.

He kept apologizing while she cried into his chest,

"Give me untill the twenty-fifth, I'll make it up to you. I'll make up for every date I missed, every event, every Birthday, every anniversary. I'll make it up to you love I promise."

December 8,
11:37 PM
-----------------------

After last night, Tom walked her home and said goodbye.

He promised her the door again, that he'd make up from what he had done.

But, untill Christmas? Why then?

Aaliyah had been thinking about it the whole day, she hadn't heard from Tom yet.

The day was almost over and she was starting to regret saying yes to that walk.

And here she was again. In her room, curled up in the blankets with her eyes wide open. Thinking.

Thinking about today. Thinking about Tom.

Did he really mean what he said or was it all just a big fat lie, that she fell for again?

*thud,
Tap,
Tap,
Tap
Tap,
Tap,*

Wait, woah. That was fast.

Aaliyah quickly jumped out of bed, and ran over to her window.

She unlocked it, and lifted it up.

There sat a cluster of little violet asters, tied together with a string--attached with a small note,

She looked up and stuck her head out of her window to catch a glimpse of this messenger.

She scanned the roads and the sidewalks untill finally,

She saw Tom, waving at her as he jogged away from her house, with the sweetest smile on his face.

Aaliyah felt herself blush. She smiled softly and looked at the note,

It read--

Hey,
Sorry I couldn't come today,
I wanted to see how you were feeling but family stuff came up.
But I know these are your favorites.
There are more to come love:)

<3 Tom

She knew she shouldn't be feeling what she was feeling. But how could she not?

This was Tom Holland we're talking about.

The man never quit. It annoyed the hell out of Aaliyah, but that's what made her love him more.

She smiled and shut her window, placing the cluster of flowers on her nightstand, and crawling into bed.

There's more to come, huh? I'll be the damn judge of that.
