after struggling immensely with her mental health through high school, Eleanor wills sees college as her fresh start with her best friend by her side - what could go wrong?
Luke walker, destined for the NHL didn't do relationships but seeing his be...
"My oldest baby is back home" she had cried as I unlocked the door.
Little 7 year old - sorry 7 1/2 as he likes to remind me - clamped onto my legs and didn't let go until it was dinner.
We were now sat around our humble Christmas tree with make shift decorations and warm yellow lights.
Dec was asleep on my mom and my eyes softened at the sight.
God I had missed them.
"I think I'm gonna call it a night" I whispered to my mom planting a gentle kiss on her check.
She nodded "that's probably a good idea angel as you know dec will have you up as early as he can"
I peeled him off of mom and took him up the creaking stairs.
Tucking him into his race car bed I had helped mom pay for last Christmas.
"He looks just like you did at that age" mom tapped my shoulder and I couldn't help but smile.
ME - merry Christmas beautiful :) Sent 00:12 am

Christmas morning was a blur of little excited dec, mom's happy tears, and me trying to clean up all the wrapping in the process.
I had given dec his present after he had finished with his MASSIVE pile.
Wasting no time he ripped open the medium sized package.
"OH MY GOD THANK YOU LUKE LUKE" he squealed hugging my bicep as i smiled.
Dec was holding a little remote control car, one that I had wanted when I was little and his was so happy
"Merry Christmas mum" I handed my mum a basket me and Eleanor had put together full of face masks, candles and a Starbucks voucher.
"Oh my god Luke it's amazing" she cried and I was incredibly taken aback.
"I love you mom" I said pulling her into a giant bear hug.

It was a Christmas tradition ever since me and Jacob met that our families have Christmas dinner together.
Lucy, Jacob and Eleanor's mom, always told us never to bring anything but mom always bought crispy potatoes and eggnog. Yuck but all the adults loved it.
Dec skipped happily ahead of us in his new cargo trousers and button up shirt with a crocodile pattern.
My mum put her arm through mine as we both tried our best not to slip on the icy path up to the wills house. Well I say house...
Their 'house' was triple the size of ours with 2 porches in the driveway next to Jacob's Aldi. The house looked as though it had been professionally decorated with green garlands with red bells and white lights.
Their massive Christmas tree stood proudly in the living room window, very different to ours with all sorts of decorations and ornaments. Theirs was white and grey with the same 5 baubles and stars.
Don't get me wrong, it was pretty, ours was just better.
'Ding ding merrily on high' the doorbell sang making dec jump back in shock.
Lucy opened the door. She was wearing a low cutting cream blouse with diamonds along the edge with tight leather pants and large pink heels. Her hair of course was as big as ever and her ears were weighed down by massive golden hoops.
"Darlings" she squealed " Merry Christmas!!!come in come in"
Hugging each one of us, pressing our cheeks to hers so she didn't smudge her bright pink lipstick.
Her sickly sweet scent suffocated me as she pulled me in.
"Looking handsome as always my dear" she tapped my chest harshly.
Tim was stood in the hallway awkwardly.
He was a sweet man who really cared for his children and I know if he got his way he would be on a farm in Texas.
"How are you son" his country accent prominent as ever.
"Not bad thank you." I said holding my hand out as he shook it with a smile that I reciprocated.
"Jacob, Eleanor the walkers are here" Tim called up their spiral staircase.
Jacob ran down quickly in baggy jeans and a new stussy top. We greeted each other.
"Eleanor hurry up I'm hungryyy" Jacob whined
"I'm coming!" She snapped in reply.
Oh my god.
Eleanor looked like a Greek goddess.
Her petite curvy body was wrapped in a tight leapord print dress exposing her pushed up breasts.
Eleanor's blonde hair framed her face perfectly with her beautiful beach waves.
Her wrists and neck were decorated with golden jewlery. Thick bangles, dainty rings, layered necklaces - you name it.
She through her head back and laughed when she saw all of us at the bottom of the stairs with our jaws to the floor.
Her plump lips turned upwards into a shy smile at me when she saw my bewildered face.
"Oh come on can we eat now" Jacob stomped his feet and went into the dining room and dec and my mum followed.
"Beautiful" Tim said and I was sure he was almost crying.
Lucy nodded her head in agreement.
They left us alone and I grabbed her by her waist harshly "you look stunning" I growled in her ear nipping her ear lobe as I did so and she breathe in quickly her heart beating faster.
"Come on hurry up!" Dec shouted and I released Eleanor - once again leaving her in a crumpled mess.
