It had been two weeks since me and Harry had started dating and we were falling more and more for each other everyday. I could tell that this was different. He made me happier than I have ever been and he made me be the person who I use to be. I was learning to trust more people again and looking at the glass half full instead of half empty. Even Harry seemed happier. Louis told me one night that he had never seen Harry happier.

Tonight was Christmas Eve and Ellie and I were staying in. Liam went to visit his family, as did the rest of the boys. I sent my love to Louis and wished him a happy birthday. Harry was visiting his family and I was fine with that. Me and him were going to spend New Year's together. I walked out into the living room of our apartment and saw Ellie skyping with her mom. I had already talked to my mom and family earlier so I went in and got something to drink. After she finished skyping she came into the kitchen as well.

"Let's make christmas cookies!" She says with excitement.

"Yes let's do it!" I said with a smile.

We started getting the ingredients and then my laptop rings, signaling that I have a skype call. I go over to it and see that it's Harry. I answered it immediately and start smiling.

"Hello love!" Harry says with a big smile.

"Hi Harry!" I said and blow him a kiss.

"I miss you." He said.

"I miss you too."

"I'll be back soon. What are you doing?"

"Making cookies." I said with a smile.

"Is Niall with you?!" Ellie says, almost yells.

Harry starts laughing. Niall and her had grown fond of each other. I could tell she liked him but I knew that Niall was not looking for anything at the moment.

"He's in Ireland. With his family. Sorry." Harry said while laughing.

I laughed as she made a frowny face.

"Harry! Come down!" I heard his mom yell.

"I have to go now love. Merry Christmas! I'll call you tomorrow!" He said with a smile and blew me a kiss.

"Bye love!" I said and ended the skype call.

I go over and help Ellie finish up the cookies. We decorated them and took pictures. I sent pictures of them to Harry and he said how he loved them. We ate most of the cookies and decorated our tree that we got. We put music on and were having a dance party. We got some wine, legal to drink in London, and sat down in the apartment. Ellie and I talked and had a wonderful Christmas Eve. I missed home but I was glad to be making new memories. Both of us ended up falling asleep on the couch while listening to Christmas music.

I woke up and see that Ellie is still sleeping on the other end of the couch. It was snowing outside and I decided to go get Ellie's gift I bought for her. I bought her a cute new bag. She woke up and saw me putting her gift under the tree.

"I have one too!" She said while getting up and going into her room. She put mine under the tree as well and we took pictures.

"Merry Christmas." I said.

"Merry Christmas." She says with a smile.

We ate breakfast and then open gifts. She loved her new bag and I got a beautiful new pair of skinny jeans. They had some rips in it and that was how I liked it. I called Harry and he answered in a cheerful voice.

"Merry Christmas!" I said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas love!" He said while laughing.

"How is it going for you?"

"Good. How is it for you? Weird spending Christmas in London?" He asked.

"A little but I liked it." I said.

"Good." He said with a smile.

We talked for a few more minutes and then he had to go. I spent the day skyping with my family and finishing up some homework for school. Ellie decided to make pizza for dinner and then made more cookies and a cake. After dinner we were watching the Grinch when someone knocked on our door.

I go open it and see a guy standing there with roses covering his face except his curls were poofy enough to stick out which made me realize it was Harry.

"Harry!" I yelled and give him a hug.

"Hello love." He said and gave me a kiss.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I wanted to spend some of my Christmas with you." He said with a smile.

"Also Niall came." He said. Ellie got off the couch and smiled at Niall who was peeking behind Harry's shoulder.

They walked on in and we all had a wonderful night together. We watched movies, ate a ton of food, and I was just glad to see Harry again.

"So we are having a surprise party for Louis this weekend on New Year's. You two will come right?" Harry asked.

"Of course." I say with a smile and he gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"I got you something." Harry said while taking out something from his pocket. I realized it was a jewelry bag.

"I got you something too!" I said with a smile. I go over and grabbed the wrapped bag and hand it to him. He pulls me in his arms.

"Open first." I said.

He smiles and unwraps his gift. He smiled as he realized it was another Ramones shirt.

"Do you like it?" I asked with hope.

"I love it. Thank you." He said and gave me a kiss.

"Now open your's." He said and handed me the jewelry box.

I smiled and open it. I saw a beautiful heart necklace and smiled at him.

"I love it. It's perfect. Thank you so much."

"No problem love." He said and gave me another kiss. I spent the rest of the night in his arms watching Christmas movies.
