Nick laughed at my obvious discomfort as I rolled around in my fluffy carpet. He was sitting on my bed laughing while my puppy who was now rather large watched me curiously. "I don't wanna meet more people!" I said and he continued laughing. My door was open and I could hear Jaime laughed as he walked by. I flipped him off and sat up. Nick had dyed his hair black and it looked amazing on him. His gray eyes watched my movements with a smile. I had already gotten dressed and looked presentable I just didn't wanna do anything. "It'll be fine. You are a rockstar with adoring fans and a boyfriend who is basically a five year old so you can handle a few more people who will love you." He said taking my hands. My hand had a nasty scar on it but was other wise fine. I smiled up at him. "Hmm well I I can put up with you I guess I can handle other people." I mused and he laughed. He started bouncing on my bed in excitement. "Not to mention all the food!" He practically yelled and I laughed again. "That's really the only reason you allowed the boys to force you to come isn't it." I said narrowing my eyes innocently. He held up his hands in defeat and I giggled which always made him smile. He leaned forward and kissed my nose making me scrunch it up causing him more laughter. I stood and my charm bracelet made a little ringing sound from all the silver charms. It was an early Christmas present from mom and dad. It had a charm for every state I spend the most time in. One for North Dakota where they found me. Two for California because even though I'm several hours from home I'm still in California and I have one with a little MD on it. I had presents from everyone but ATL being as I will see them during Christmas. I crossed my arms looking at him. He sent me an innocent pout. "Wanna watch movie?" He asked and we both smirked. We never use my actual tv so we raced each other downstairs trying not to ruin any decorations. I made it to the DVD stand first meaning we were watching what I wanted. I picked The Lion King and everyone in the room groaned but, still sang the intro with me and Nick as they wandered through the room doing stuff to set up. I may have played this movie a few thousand times.

Nick was beside me and my hand was intertwined with his. I felt his thumb brush the scars on it like he always did when we held hands. When I told him about my problem he showed me his scars and kissed me saying we could make it through this. He often traced my scars and I find it amusing cause it kinda tickles. I looked down at our hands then looked up at him. He met my eyes with a goofy grin like always. I smiled back at him tightly and his smile instantly faded. "What's wrong, love?" He asked and I knew I could never hide my emotions from him. "What if they don't like me? What if they see my scars and think I'm a freak?" I asked looking at my dress. It was basically a huge sweater with a belt. You couldn't see any scars but, I was still uncomfortable without legging or jeans. The girls had threatened to disown me if I didn't wear the dress when I say and it won't look good with anything underneath it. He sighed. "They will love you. Just like I do." He said and I grinned. This is the first time he's said that. I pulled his lips to mine. I pulled away grinning at his goofy smile. "I love you too." I said and he smiled bigger. When he smiled it always made me smile. I heard an aw and a camera flash. "This is for all the fans." Mia said and Layla giggled over her shoulder. Nick smiled at them and I caught the end of the movie before turning the tv off. I moved over to sit in his lap as the girls settled on the couch near us.

"So whose on taste tester duty first?" Mia asked seriously and I saw Nick look at me confused. I had told the guys about the plan last night and they all agreed without a single word otherwise. I told Nick the plan and he grinned. "Yay another reason to eat everything." He said and we all laughed. "Nick." I said to the girls and we all laughed again. The door bell rang and we all looked at each other daring each other to greet the first guest. Vic beat us to it and we all stood trying to make ourselves look like we weren't just sitting on our lazy bums while the guys finished the decorations. The guest were Mike and Vic's parents. I walked over to Vic as he waved me over. I still had Nicks hand and he squeezed it. Vic slung an arm over me. I think he enjoys that I'm shorter then unlike all the guys. "Mom, Dad this is Wren." He said and the woman smiled warmly before hugging me. I tried not to flinch as I hugged her back. She smiled looking me up and down. "She's beautiful." She commented to Vic and I blushed. She insisted I call her mama Fuentes like everyone else does then took off to hug the other guys. Mr. Fuentes shook my hand and Vic smiled at me happily. "See they love you. I knew they would!" He said and I stuck my tongue out. He pretended to be offended. "Well maybe not if they knew you were bullying me." He pouted. Mrs. Fuentes laughed. "Makes her even better." She called and he looked at her with false sadness and betrayal. "Look at you. You come live in my house. Steal my friends and my band. Now your turning my mom against me!" He said with fake anger and me and Nick just laughed. Maybe today won't be so bad.
