I wake up to the smell of cookies filling my senses. I get up and walk out of my room confused because, we've never smelled fresh baked food in this house.

When I get to the kitchen I see my mom sitting with a plate of fresh cookies in front of her. She smiles widely when she sees me before standing up and rushing to give me a hug.

"Merry christmas!!! I was just gonna go wake you  up!!" She squeals.

"Merry christmas," I giggle "Did you bake those?"

"Oh God no, I went and picked them up from that new bakery by miss patty's! they smell good huh?" She explains with Rory walking out of her room right after.

"Merry christmas," She yawns.

"Merry christmas gilmore girls!" Mom squeals again. Christmas is pretty much her favorite day ever.

"Let's open presents," Rory suggests with a smile.

Mom hands each of us a cookie and we talk about how good they are while we walk to the tree. She takes her yearly polo tour of us holding our first present before we begin opening them.

In total, I got some makeup, A few pairs of jeans, a new camera I've been wanting, and some new records.

Rory got books of course, a limited time CD her and lane have begging for, a new straightener, a couple of sweaters and these fancy earmuffs she's been wanting and some kind of latin dictionary.

Her Christmas list concerns me.

"Okay let's go do our merry christmas walk around town!" Mom claps in excitement as she stands up.

"Wait mom! We got you something," Rory stops her while I go get the gift from my room.

I run out of my room with a thin, small rectangle shaped present. I hand it to her and she furrows her brows in co fusion.

After she unwraps the paper, she gasps at the sight of a jewelry brand on the box.

"You did not!"

"We did!" Rory laughs.

She opens the box and pulls out a denatured elegant necklace. The one she's been talking about for years. It's simple white gold chain, but there's a white gold, square charm on it that dangles to the middle.

The square has a very detailed rose engraved in it and on the the back of the charm all three of our names engraved.

She admires it in her hand before pulling both of us into a hug. "I can't believe you guys love me this much! How much was this? How could you afford it?!"

"Don't worry about it mom," I take the necklace from her hand and Rory leads her to the mirror above our entry table. Mom lifts her hair up and I put the necklace on her.

"Now you're ready for our merry christmas walk," I smile.

It's the first back at school after winter break. I'm walking through the halls with Rory on my side before I feel someone come up beside me.

Rory smiles and waves before walking away and I turn to see who it is. Tristan of course. He kisses my forehead before pulling out a small wrapper box from his pocket and handing it to me.

"Tristan you didn't have to get me anything we already did secret santa," I inform him.

"Yeah I know but I wanted to get you something special," He shrugs.

"But I didn't get you anything so that's not fair,"

"Well I've been thinking of getting it for a while so I decided this is a good time, Just open it Jade."

I roll my eyes before pulling if the wrapping paper, while he's pulling us to the side away from people.

My eyes widen at the pandora label on the box. "Tristan-"

"Keep opening it."

I open the box fully and i'm filled with awe at the sight. It's a silver charm bracelet with the letter T on it.

There are also other small, dainty charms on either side of the T, A cake, sunglasses, a beer bottle, a ticket of some sort and an armament.

"This is adorable! What do these charms means?" I ask.

"Let me show you, each of these represent a core memory in our relationship," He pulls it out of the box and puts out on my left wrist before explaining.

"The cake is for when we made our initial cake while your mom was out of town. The sunglasses are for when we had a project together and that girl ran into us while we had all those goofy accessories on. A bottle for both times we took care of eachother drunk, and probably many more times to come." He smiles holding each particularly charms between his fingers as he explains it. "A movie ticket for when we went on our first official date, and armament for the first time we-"

"-yeah I got that one," I giggle. "Tristan this is so thoughtful,"

"I like it because any times someone asks about you'll have a reason to tell them our stories, and when this one fills up I'll get you another one."

"I'm gonna cry," I sniffle as tears fill my eyes. "This is so sweet and amazing but I can't take it, it's looks so expensive,"

"Nah you don't really have the option of giving it back to me, if it makes you feel any better it was mostly daddy's money,"

"It doesn't," I laugh while stopping a tear from spilling over with my knuckle.

"The next one I get you I'll pay for with my money," He pulls me into a hug.

We stay like this for a little bit, the late bell ring s while ago so there was no point in rushing. I definitely love this man.

When I get to class I immediately show Ali the bracket and explain it all to her.

"Ugh you guys are such soulmates, Why is it you guys get all this romcom romance and I get arguments every other night? " She groans.

"You and paris are arguing again?"

"Yes! She says I'm to secretive," She rolls her eyes.

"Well are you?" I question.

"I mean yeah kind of,"

"Ali!"

"It's not in a bad way! I just only want her to know the good parts of me you know? I don't want her to see the messy side of my life, Only the perfect parts," Ali sighs.

"I get how you feel but you have to let her in your life completely for everything to work out," I tell her.

"I know, I just don't want her to get sick of me,"

"How could anyone ever get sick of you?"
