I got off the plane in Boston and knew I should have a car waiting for me to take me to Chris. I had been on the verge of tears since leaving Fallon and I just needed to be in his arms, I needed Chris.

Since I was arriving in Boston late there wasn't anyone there to get pictures of me arriving and I was thankful for that. Hollie and I split up in New York, she was going home for the holidays, and I just wanted to be alone.

I left the airport and walked outside looking for my car and that was when I saw his car, he was getting out of the driver's side door. I rushed over to him, wrapped my arms around his midsection and buried my face in his chest and started crying.

"Hey shh...don't do this here, it's okay. Let's get in the car and talk." Chris said and I nodded. I wiped my tears away as Chris grabbed my suitcase and we got in the car. He quickly drove away and took my hand as he did.

"What the hell happened Chris?!" I snapped as we left the airport pick up lane and were heading towards the highway.

"Tara."

"Tara? What about her?! She did this?!" I asked pissed off.

"Yeah, she said she was pissed she didn't get invited to the album launch but Mindy and Dane did." Chris said.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me?! Because I didn't want to invite her, she posts pictures and outs us?!" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Chris said and I just sighed and leaned my head back on the headrest.

"So, what do we do now? I mean it's out there and not under our timeline."

"I mean there is nothing we can do. She let it leak, it's out there and we can just go about our lives." Chris said and I groaned.

"Go about our lives like the holidays aren't coming up and I don't have a tour to plan for..." I ranted. Chris just squeezed my hand and I smiled at him.

"Hey, you are with me for the holidays, first time in a long time and we need to just cherish this time." Chris said and I nodded. "But I will tell you I have cut Tara off and you should think about it too. I mean I'm done with her." Chris spoke up after a few minutes of silence.

"Oh, I will be deleting her number and everything with her in it on my phone." I said.

"Sounds like what I did." Chris said.

I leaned my head back on the headrest. I closed my eyes feeling a little at peace when my cellphone went off in my pocket.

"Text from Hollie." I said since Chris was curious.

Hollie: I wanted to let you know that even though it's the holidays I was going to work on finding out who leaked the photos.

Frankie: No need. Chris picked me up at the airport and told me who it was. It was Tara, she was feeling a little jealous.

Hollie: God, I never liked her. Okay well are you wanting to take any legal action?

"Hollie wants to know if we want to take any legal action against Tara?" I asked. Chris sighed.

"What do you think?" Chris asked.

"I think it's pointless and just cause more issues. I mean she isn't going to take either of us cutting her off well either. I say we just leave it the way it is." Chris said.

Frankie: Chris and I say just leave it. We know she isn't done but if we go after her now it will just get worse faster.

Hollie: Got it. Have a good time off, we get back to work right after the new year.

Frankie: Got it.

I put my phone away and just turned to look at Chris, he was watching the road, so I just smiled.

"What are you smiling at you weirdo?" Chris laughed and I joined in.

"I can't believe you picked me up at the airport." I said and he shook his head.

"You needed me, and I knew you would. It was better than a car bringing you to my place." Chris said and I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Who in all watched the show tonight?" I asked.

"Ma, Scott, Josh, Tara and me. Your mom dad also watched because they called me after." Chris said and I just half nodded.

"What did you think of the song?" I asked nervously. Chris smiled and looked at me quickly then back to the road.

"Well...I loved it like everything you do but I have to admit something..."

"What?" I tried not panicking.

"It wasn't the first time I heard it and listening to it with you when I got back wasn't even the first time I heard it." Chris said and I looked at him oddly.

"Meaning?" I asked.

"When you called Ma to have her listen to it for her opinion, she didn't know I was at the house. When I heard you on the phone with her, I stopped and listened to the song. I know I shouldn't have, and I know I should have made my presence known but I had to hear it." Chris explained.

I knew I could be mad at him but what was the use? So, he heard the song, he was going to hear it eventually.

"Did you only hear the song?" I asked and Chris smirked.

"I heard the conversation too about you still loving me. I took that with me when I left for filming and knew it would all work itself out with us and look at us now." Chris said, pulling my hand to his mouth, kissing the back of my hand and I smiled.

We drove in silence, the radio quietly playing. Chris pulled up to his gate and put in the code causing me to sigh.

"Problem?" Chris asked as we got out of the car, and I stretched.

"It's good to be home." I said as Chris got my bag. We headed inside.

"Home huh? You want to consider this place your home?" Chris asked as we closed the front door, and he wrapped me in his arms.

"I mean it's too soon to actually move into together, but I would like to spend most of my time here so like my home away from my parents home..." I said and Chris nodded.

"I can deal with that, as long as you spend most of the time with me." Chris said and I nodded. Chris leaned down and passionately kissed me.
