Thirty Four

December 25
Los Angeles, California

"Wakey wakey angel face" Billie bursts into the room with a wide grin on her face. I only look at her with tired eyes and frown. Adjusting my hearing aids, I clear my throat and turn to my girlfriend.

"Baby it's three in the morning"

She only shrugs her shoulders at me and walks over to me. "Why are you up anyways? And where were you?" I ask her and she smiles evilly at me.

I'm scared.

"I was with Iris" She tells me and gets up to walk over to my bag of clothes. "We are going somewhere and I need you to be ready in thirty minutes, no later."

"For what?"

She doesn't respond only hands me my clothes and points to the bathroom. I open my mouth to protest but she shakes her head at me and gently pushes me out the door and into the bathroom.

"Shower and get ready. Chop chop" Billie then turns and leaves the bathroom, leaving me wondering what the fuck was going on.

"Fuck I hate this hill" Billie pants heavily beside me making me chuckle. After Billie woke me up and forced me out of the house, she drove us a hour away to this creepy ass forest.

Do I know why? Nope.

Is she ever going to tell me? Nope.

"You the one who brought us out here." I comment and she adorably glares at me. I roll my eyes with a smile and lift her into my arms. "Don't worry I got you baby"

She smiles sheepishly at me and hooks her arms around my neck. I carry us to the top of the hill where we are presented with the most beautiful view I ever seen. I almost dropped her in shock and awe when I saw it.

"Bil it's beautiful" I comment as I set her back, not tearing my eyes away from the view. She smiles and stands beside me, holding my hand in hers.

"I like to think that pretty views are our thing now so I thought why not spend our Christmas morning here for a few hours." I smile over at her and pull her into a sweet kiss before hugging her to my chest.

"You amaze me Billie O'Connell."

I laugh as Iris jumps into my lap. "Get off me you big oof" I push her causing her to crash into the floor with a loud thud. I burst out laughing as she glares at me.

"You're so mean to me" She playfully pouts as Finneas walks into the room with a huge smile on his face.

"It's Christmass" He beams happily and jumps on the bed beside me. "I made us Christmas sweaters" He opens the bag and pulls out a very interesting looking crocheted sweater.

"Merry Christmas Finn" is all I can say while Iris just stares at the sweaters in shock. She looks at me and I glare at her not to say anything bad. She awkwardly gestures at the sweaters while Finneas rants how he made sweaters for everyone and pulls the rest of them out.

Moments later, Billie bursts into the room with a bright grin on her face. "Baby I got—Why are you all in my room and whose ugly ass sweaters are those?" I glance at Finneas who puts his hands on his hips like a scolding father. "That's not nice Billie" He tells her and she rolls her eyes, walking over to me.
