I ripped open one of my presents to see a box of make-up ; foundation, blush in every shade possible, lipsticks in reds, pinks and golds and 5 eyeshadow palettes.

I tried to hide the disappointment on my face and looked up at my mother and smiled, she looked so happy grinning down at me. I didn't want to ruin that.

"now you can look beautiful," my mother said and I couldn't help the small tears that sprung on my waterline. Did she not think I was beautiful before?

My dad sat next to me by the christmas tree handing me present after present.

"she doesn't need all this make-up helen, she is beautiful as she is," My dad took the box of make-up from my hands and I didn't protest.

"No! She isn't! She needs the make-up," My mother yelled like a whiny toddler and I burst into tears clinging onto my father for support.

He gave me a hug before shouting at my mamá to leave me alone. She took that way too litteraly and walked right out the room.

"i don't," I gasped, "want her to be upset,"

"don't worry mi vida, just open the rest of your presents." My dad passed me another present and wiped my tears for me with his hankerchief.

"No bad spirits on christmas!" He said tickling my sides and I giggled on his lap before ripping open the present excitedly.

"A pony!" I picked out the small blue pretend pony from the box and hugged it close to my chest. "Just what I wanted thank you papa!"

"you're welcome mi vida"

I was 6, the christmas we'd just moved back to spain and my mother was already commenting on my appearance.

I sat up gasping, awaking from my sleep and George stirred beside me, "prim? are you okay?" He asked sleepily but sitting up anyway.

"it's not him is it?"

"no," I steadied my breathing, "it's her"

"who?"

"her mother," Livvy said looking up from her phone in her matching checkered pyjamas we wore every christmas.

"what did she do?"

"dude, you really think that's a good thing to ask her, it's traumatising," Livvy rolled her eyes from the bed then got up and crouched by me.

"let's go open our presents," I nodded dumbfounded and got up walking aimlessly towards the bedroom door.

Then I heard both Will and George whispering while walking behind me and livvy but i didn't really care if they were talking about her.

I walked downstairs and sat by the christmas tree, then Livvy sat on one side and Will on the other. George sat down on the floor but he was kinda distant.

"George," Will said and then beckoned him over to sit closer moving away from me and leaving a space for George to shuffle into.

I saw livvy smirk out of the corner of my eyes and i tried my hardest not to sigh.

Livvy handed me a small box and i opened it to see a beautiful silver necklace with a paper airplane on the end. She then pulled out a necklace from under her shirt and it matched the one she bought me.

"it's a taylor swift paper airplane necklace," I smiled and gave her a quick hug. Then I picked up another package from under the tree and everyone else began grabbing theres.
