Skylars pov:
I could hear fumbling in the kitchen. Which was weird especially since it was 2 am. I saw Jasmine wasn't by my side like she was when we fell asleep. I missed her warmth, she was so cute, especially in her weirdly cute elf onesie. I sat up and tried to listen. "Ow! Mom!" I heard a harsh whisper. It was probably Jasmine. "I'm going to bed mom, good...midnight?" I heard Jasmine giggle before she opened the door. I sat there waiting for her to realize. "Hey." I said crossing my arms. "AH! For fucks sake! You scared me!" She whispered harshly.

"Wrapping presents?" I asked. I noticed she had a piece of wrapping paper stuck to her arm. Well on the onesie. "Oh! Yeah.." She said looking away. She pulled the wrapping paper off once she realized it was there. She crawled into bed with me and hugged me. "Is there anything over there for me?" I asked with a smirk. "Uhuh.." She nodded. "Wait what?" I was confused. Was there actually something for me? "Huh?" She looked at me confused. "Is there something actually for me?" I ask confused. "Yes. Of course there's something for you baby.." She said kissing my jawline.

I couldn't help but feel a heat rush to my cheeks. She- they? Why? "Why?" I ask. "Because, you're like family. Of course we'd get you a few gifts. Even if you didn't come in the trip." She said snuggling into my neck. "You're too sweet." I said petting her hair. "Mhm...can we sleep?" She asked followed by a yawn. "Yes, princess we can sleep...I love you.." I said kissing her head. "And I love you.." She said before the whole room got quiet. Only our breathing filling the room.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get her something. I did. I hadn't wrapped it yet though. Once I made sure she was asleep I sneaked away from her. I snuck into the kitchen and wrapped up the few gifts I got her. They were stuff I knew she loved. You'll see once she opens them.

After wrapping them and writing her name on them I placed under the tree along with the others I bought for the rest of the family. I sneaked back into our room and cuddled with her again. I fell asleep almost instantly, our bodies relaxing together. I never want to change this. Ever.

The next morning I was woken up by a very excited Jasmine. "SKY! Sky! Wake up! Wake upppp!" She said shaking me. "What? why?" I asked confused. "ITS CHRISTMAS!!" She squealed. "Merry Christmas baby." I said kissing her. "Merry Christmas babe.." She said kissing me back instantly. "Let's go open presents!!" She squealed. "Okay, okay!" I said getting out of bed after her. She looked like a 5 year old, and acted like one too. I giggled at the excited girl.

I saw everyone was up waiting for us, I guess. We all sat in a circle in front of the Christmas tree. "Okay, who's first-?" Hailey got interrupted by Angelo who excitedly yelled- "MEEEE!" with a huge smile on his face. "Okay, first one for Angelo." She said passing him a gift. He opened it excitedly and his face lit up. "Oh my fucking god!!" He squealed. "Okay, who got it for me?!" He asked looking around. "You're welcome bro.." I said saluting him.

"I LOVE YOU SKYYYYYY!" He said basically leaping into me. "Okay, okay, you have more presents to open." I said with a smile. After he opened all his presents it was Sam's turn. "Oh my Jesus! Thank youuuuu!" He said hugging me tightly. "You're welcome lil dude." I said nudging him. It was Jasmines turn, but she insisted I went first. "Okay, okay, I'll go first!" I said defeated.

I got handed a first and I immediately recognized the messy handwriting, Angelo. I opened the gift and almost screamed. "Holy. Shit." We're the only two words that came out of my mouth. "Holy shit, holy shit! THANK YOU!" I squealed. I jumped on Angelo and hugged him. "How'd you know it was me?" He asked. "Babe your handwriting is as messy as my love life." Jasmine giggled. "She's not wrong.." I smiled. "Okay, Skylar gift number dos!" Hailey said handing me the gift with a smile. I didn't recognize the handwriting at all so it wasn't Sam or Jasmine.

I opened the gift and smiled at the gift. It was a gold necklace with the letter S on it. I looked up and saw Hailey and Martin (The stepdad) wink at me. I smiled softly at them. "Thank you.." I said in awe. "Gift number three.." Hailey said handing me the third gift. "From Sam, huh.." I said recognizing the hand writing. "How do you memorize our hand writings?!" Sam asked probably annoyed. "Memory?" I joke around.

I open the present laugh a little. "Do ya like?" He asks wiggling his brows. "Definitely!" I said with a giggle. I took the shirt in my hands. 'What doesn't kill me makes me gayer.' with a rainbow. I laughed at it, it was even in black, my favorite color. I hugged Sam and we both laughed. "Finally, Jasmines gift to you.." Hailey handing it to me. I smiled as I saw her beautiful handwriting. It was delicate and perfect just like her.

I opened the gift delicately and what I saw almost brought me to tears. "I-I....thank you.." I said, I couldn't help but let a tear fall. "No problem.." She said winking at me. She knew how much this meant to me. I took out the art supplies and smiled at her. I hugged her tightly and tears kept falling. For some background information, when I came out as lesbian to my parents, they didn't really accept me. They abused me and took me to church, would snap at me often saying 'I ALREADY ACCEPTED THAT YOU HAVE A DICK! BUT NOW YOU COME AT ME WITH THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A SINNER? A-A QUEER?'.

One thing that helped me express myself was art and music. I remember I was painting one day and my mother burst into my room, she destroyed all my art supplies and burnt all my paintings and art works. I haven't been much of an artist since, expect for this year, first time I'm taking art since I was 9. I told her this and...she gets me this...oh fuck..I wish I could kiss her in front of all these people.

I can't though. Ugh. I hate this. Really hate this. I wiped my tears and it was now Jasmine's turn. There were gonna be more surprises. For her at least. She unwrapped gifts from her mom, stepdad, brothers and lastly the ones from me. "Okay, this one is from Skylar as you can guess." Her mom giggled. She knew what we had going on, and she was okay with it...would..would Angelo be okay with it? I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a squeal. "Holy shit! Thank you so much Sky!!" She said giving me a hug. I looked at the gift in her hand realizing it was the chain I got her.

A delicate gold chain with a dainty emerald that was shaped like a heart. She always liked small dainty chains. I picked up everything about her. She opened the next one that was from me and I could see her whole face light up. "Y-you..I-I...wow..thank you.." She stammered. "You didn't have to.." She blushed. "Oh, she's your celebrity crush. I so did have to." I smirked. We don't have to talk about what I got her. After she opened the 'last' present she was hugging when I pulled away and smiled at her. "I actually have something more for you.." I said pulling it out from behind the tree.

"Oh?" She asks. "I remember you told me that you love little hair clips. Like the ones for kids. So..." I said giving the little box to her. Her eyes lit up like a little kid who got cake. "AHHH!!" She squealed and jumped on me. I laughed at her reaction. As if she was a little kid. She was- no is adorable. So far in my opinion this might just be the best Christmas ever...

In my whole life. Best Christmas.
