Hating Emilia

30

-Emilia Diaz-

It's Christmas- well Christmas Eve, I'm getting Ethan's gift today so I can give it to him later tonight

Papà came with me since he didn't want mom or me driving in the snow

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The lady asked at the desk "hi, I'm here to pick up a gift" I say

She smiled "what's the name?" I tell her my name and she goes in the back to grab the gift out

"Thank you" I smiled and she nodded, Papà and I leave the store, I put the gift somewhere safe in the car and he drives home

But then we get stuck in traffic due to the snow my father taps his finger on the steering wheel

"So.." I ask playing with my necklace "is anyone coming over?" I asked

Papà nods "Claire's just been really busy." He tells me, I nodded

"Silas and Sophia are probably there, I'm not sure though." He tells me and I hummed

"Is he coming over?" Papà asked me, I looked at him "Ethan? Oh- I don't know.." I say

I'm not gonna lie, I do wish he would, but he has his family to spend with, I also have to wrap Cassie's gift

"Do you want him there?" My father asked, I shrugged "you can invite him, Emilia." He tells me.

I nodded my head "okay" I say just as the car starts moving again

Me: I was wondering if you'd want to spend Christmas with my family tomorrow? My father said it's okay🤗

Menace: of course, dove, I love spending time with you.

Me: okay, by the way I have your present, so I can give it to you today since you're coming over? Or tomorrow

Menace: you got me something? Why?

Me: because it's Christmas, Ethan.

I turn my phone off when papà parks the car at home, I grab Ethan's gift and go upstairs to my room to try and figure out how to wrap it.

I'll put Cassie's gift in a bag maybe, I stare at his gift and then the wrapping paper.

I grab my phone and look up how to wrap his gift in wrapping paper, because how?

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

It's six thirty p.m. when I started it was three thirty p.m. Ethan should be here soon maybe in like a few hours.

I put the gifts in my closet and go shower before he comes over, I'm not sure what we're having for dinner today and tomorrow

But I guess I can try and eat it... I'm nervous though, like really.

Especially when I go back to school, what's going to happen?

I guess my parents are waiting to see what happens with Mr. Delaney, to see if he gets fired or not.

I'm still scared, what if he finds his way back to me? What if there's no one to save me this time?

I take a deep breath and shake away my thoughts, don't think about that.

Not now, not ever.

I put my pajamas on, go back to my room and sit on my bed, waiting for a text from Ethan, or from my friends.
