Christmas with Mike and Abby ended up being the sweetest time ever. I didn't know what to buy Abby for Christmas so I ended up buying her a nail polish set and a friendship bracelet kit. She absolutely loved it, thankfully. For Mike, I had gotten him a new denim jacket because his regular one had a few tears in it and I also got him a a bracelet that had a small "M" on it. It was cute that we had both thought similarly about getting each other jewelry to wear to remind us of eachother.

Christmas Day ended up being so peaceful. We had made a big breakfast and spent most of the day watching Christmas movies and coloring with Abby. We even got out of the house and walked to Mike's favorite park. It was a different Christmas vibe for me, but it was great. I was used to elaborate presents and a big dinner, but just spending it with Mike and Abby felt a whole lot more fulfilling.

 "Where are you going?"

My sister's voice chirped, peeking into the room at me. Capri had decided to come home to spend New Years Eve with her two friends in Hurricane after my parents guilted her for not being home for Christmas or Thanksgiving with me. She still wasn't spending it with me, but she thought being back in the same state as me would be enough. 

"I'm going out." I said, while lining my lips and putting lip gloss on over it. 

Capri stood in the doorway of my room and just stared at me for a few minutes.

"Is that okay?" I asked, turning around and looking over at her.

"Are you going out with your boyfriend?" she questioned, while deciding to come in and sit on my neatly made bed.

"Yes and Aly and her boyfriend." I quickly responded.

"So, it's a double date?"

"That's what you call it."

Capri let out an annoyed sigh at my sarcastic comment as she laid down on my bed and was scrolling through her phone. 

After I sprayed my setting spray, I turned around and stared at Capri comfortably laying on my bed. 

"Are you comfortable enough?" I asked, picking up a few clothes from the ground and tossing them into the laundry basket.

"Miles, do you really want to date a guy that's from Hurricane?"

Well, that came out of no where. 

"Um, I mean does it matter?"

"You went from dating a very well-off New York born guy and now you're dating some random guy in Hurricane, Utah? I just...don't think it's good for you."

"Capri, you literally have never met him."

"But, it's just not going to work out. Trust me."

I rolled my eyes at her. She was so proud of herself for bagging a rich kid from San Diego that she expected me to date a rich kid too. She was Carter's biggest fan, even after all he did to me. Carter had visited Hurricane with me once, even though he still wasn't calling me his girlfriend - fucked up, right?
