December 25, 2006.

Katie

I think coming to this party was a bad idea.

Hugh had convinced me to come along. He said I've been looking down lately. He even offered to take me out so I could feel better, but I declined.

I don't even feel sad — Not really. I'm just trying to live at this point.

I decide to get a drink to cure my boredom. There's not much of a selection at Tommen parties, but anything will do. I don't drink much, anyway. I just need something. Anything.

I squeeze my way past people and make myself a red solo cup of alcohol at the house's kitchen counter. I can't tell you what it is - I don't know, either. I fill it up until the cup feels heavy, then turn around and head to the living room. People have established that as the "dance floor." Who's house am I even at right now?

There's many people having fun and blocking the way, and I'm kind of short, so I have to venture deeper to where the action lays.

My vision clears.

And my heart freezes in my chest. The heavy thrum of the bass still keeps me alive, thankfully.

Right there, in the middle of the dance floor, is the girl who changed my life forever.

She's dancing with Shannon.

Rock your Body by Justin Timberlake plays as she dances around so freely, so effortlessly. She dances as if no one is watching.

She looks beautiful while doing so.

Her hair, so soft and so long, swishes with every move she makes. There's no restraint in how she moves her limbs.

I'm jealous. It feels like I always am nowadays.

I wish I was the one she was dancing with. I even wish I could dance with the two girls without people thinking I'm weird, saying stuff like, "Oh, Katie never dances or makes a scene. What's gotten into her today?"

The bass swirls the alcohol around in my stomach and I need to get out of here. Immediately.

I rush away and wonder if she sees me leave, but I don't turn back to check.

The feeling of eyes, specifically haunting blue ones, burn on the back of my head as I search for Hugh.

Joey

Being home with your hot girlfriend - Soon to be wife - and your kid on Christmas, a.k.a your birthday, is every mans dream. Mine's, atleast.

I'm laying on the couch in our living room with Aoife on top of me, holding AJ close to her. I toy with her hair gently as we watch TV.

We had already opened presents in the morning and ate Christmas dinner. I would've gone out drinking with Johnny and the boys but this is exactly where I want to be tonight.

I had bought AJ toys that he can carry around the house and play with at the same time because he's an active little lad. He's currently fidgeting with one of them as he lays in mamas lap.

Then, I bought Aoife new clothes that she could feel comfortable in. She loved the pieces I bought her so much, she even gave me a wink and a nudge at the two lingerie sets I bought for her.

She bought me things that I needed aswell even though I insisted that I didn't want any gifts. Birthday or Christmas, I just wanted to spend quality time with my family.
