Ain't that "sweet" of her?

(Candace Nelson as Nicole King, Nigel Barker as himself, Katelyn Tarver as Evaliano King)

I woke up with a start, my eyes didn't open but I was awake.

Like that excuse worked with parents. Thank God I moved out.

Something wet came in contact with my face, repeating itself.

"Ee-uw!" I squirmed.

My eyes opened to a fuzzy animal sitting on my bed.

I snatched my glasses, slipped them on and watched the little dog in confusion.

Then a shaved head popped up from beside my bed with a smile, "Merry Christmas, Jazzy."

I sat up and clutched the adorable dog to my chest, "Isn't this the dog they made the toy from?!"

He chuckled and sat next to me, "The exact one."

"Omagosh it's so cute!" I squealed and kissed the white puppy.

He watched me play with it with a smile on his face.

"What are you going to name him?" he asked.

I gasped, "He's mine?"

"Of course! It's your Christmas present from me!" he replied.

"His name is Lexis!"

"Nice name!" he laughed.

Louis popped his head into my room with a smirk, "Time to get u-up!"

"Coming!" we yelled back.

Both of us got up, Lexis in my arms as we ran downstairs and sat around the tree, which Cam had brought out while I was in the hospital.

I tossed the bandage from my temple in the trash, running my finger against the metal bandage.

Liam wrapped his arm around my shoulders, "You okay?"

I nodded, "Dandy!"

I sat on a couch, Lexis running around the floor as everyone else sat down.

Cam spoke up, "So, every year, Jazzmyn will call her cousin Eva over skype and speak with her until Eva leaves. Then I'll call my parents and chat with them before we open presents." she nudged Zayn's arm, "Having you here is no exception."

I laughed, st on the floor and brought up skype on my laptop.

The boys gathered around me as we waited in silence.

"Joyeux Noël, Jazzmyn!" she waved, holding her cat in her arms.

"Joyeux Noël, dame folle de chat!" I waved back.

"I am not a crazy cat lady!" she gasped, touching her dainty hand to her chest.

"Yeah, okay, whatever!" I scoffed, "What's up?"

"Waiting for everyone to get up so I can open this," she held up a giant box with her name on it.

"Du-u-ude! That's sweet!" I awed.

She shook it close to her ear, "I know right? It's making me angry."

"Fun fun! I'm so excited to see you!" I screamed.

"OMAGOSH I can't wait! Disney is fun, but England is better!" she clapped like a valley girl.

"Are you going to ignore us?" Niall screeched.

"No, I know you. I was the stage set when you performed in Florida last year." she stated plainly as her cat jumped down.

"Stalker much?" Louis scoffed.
