Our family

Amanda's pov
Jacquie is still crying wanting to go get davis and it breaks my heart to see her like this but I know davis doesn't want to leave her parents because davis and her parents are snobs, jacquie leans on me "she'll be okay"i say and emily looks at me knowing I'm lying

After a while jacquie calms down but she's shaking and I can't tell if it's from fear or anger but even for me she's scary when she's angry everyone that knows us both says she's like a mini me "are you shaking?"noah asks "yeah"jacquie says "why don't we go Christmas shopping for the last little bits we need?"emily suggests and we all agree except jacquie but james just grabs her and carries her to Emily's car

We get to town and we're all walking around and jacquie seems to be in a better mood and it's no coincidence that richelle just started cuddling into her as we walk but we see davis but the the thing that surprised us was that she was with ozzy holding his hand?! Jacquie looks at davis and then ozzy "davis"jacquie says with tears in her eyes "don't talk to me you made your choice"davis says "davis please!"jacquie says and ozzy smacks jacquie and I grab ozzy and pin him to the wall but james pulls me away "check on jacquie I'll handle him"james says and i walk over to jacquie

"Davis just talk to her"i say but davis just continues walking not even waiting for james to stop beating the shit of ozzy "let's just keep shopping"jacquie says and we keep walking around, we check out almost every shop looking at everything and I'm helping josh pick out some new crop tops and skirts but every time I point out a cute skirt he refuses "noah what's going on?"i ask "I just don't want anyone to see my prosthetic"noah says "I'll be back"i say before grabbing Giselle

"Babe what's going on?"Giselle asks "your smart come up with good ideas how do I get Noah to be less self conscious about his prosthetic?"i ask "uhhh im not sure"Giselle says "I have an idea!"i say grabbing her hand or else she wanders off in a world of her own "baby where are we going?"Giselle asks "to an arts and crafts shop"i say and we walk into the shop

"Pick up any stickers you think Noah would like"i say and we both spend about an hour looking and leave the a bag full of stickers and we make our way back to noah and the rest of the group, i walk to noah and i pass him the bag and he looks in it and then back at me confused "for your prosthetic so you can make it look better!" I say softly and he hugs me

Christmas Eve-Emily's pov
Michelle got back from visiting her family yesterday and we've spent all day sorting the studio out for a Christmas dinner/party so me and Michelle haven't really talked and it's showing we're both on edge about this party and taking it out on each other

"Emily I told you not to touch the plates!"michelle snaps "well they didn't look good!"i hiss,i go back to sorting the napkins but I feel michelle standing behind me "michelle whatever your doing just stop and get back to work!"i hiss "michelle?you never call me michelle not since we started dating"michelle says sounding hurt but I don't have time to handle her emotions "it's not a big deal"I say but she walks out

I continue sorting the studio out and eventually michelle comes back "oh yeah just leave me to do the work all by myself why don't you?!"i snap and once again I feel michelle behind me but she wraps her arms around my waist and rests her head on my shoulder "take a break"michelle says kissing my cheek "I can't"i say "yeah you can,please I've missed you and we've barely talked and when we have it's screaming at each other"michelle says

"I've missed you too a lot but stuff needs to be done!"i say as I turn to her "i now see where richelle gets her stress and ocd from"michelle says pulling me into her chest "as much as I love your hugs i"michelle cuts me off "don't you dare say stuff needs to be done!"michelle says and i look up at her "fine"michelle says and i give her a quick kiss before going back to sorting everything out and Michelle starts to help but that doesn't michelle from being as affectionate as possible Which is understandable she was gone for weeks and I missed her but I'm busy
