My Only Hope

Chapter 53

I open my eyes to see a sleepy cameron. He looked so cute when he was asleep.
I slowly got out of bed trying not to wake him.
I went downstairs and started to make mine and his favorite breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes. Of course.
I started to make them and lit my favorite Christmas candle.
After a little while a sleepy cameron comes down.
"Morning" I smile and he rubs his eyes.
"Merry Christmas" he says in the sleepiest  voice.
"I made you peppermint coffee" I say handing him the cup.
"Thanks sweetie" he says kissing me and sitting down.
"Sweetie?" I laugh.
"I'm just tired" he says
"It's fine it's cute" I say taking a sip of my tea.
We eat our breakfast and by then cam had 3 cups of coffee and was bouncing off the walls.
Why did I think this was a good idea.
He was dancing around and twerking to Christmas music.
"Lilly look" cam says running to the window then opening the door.
"Yeah it's snowing" I say
"I've never seen snow before" he says
"Wait seriously? How could you grow up without snow?!" I ask
"Well it doesn't snow in la" he says.
"Well when it starts sticking we can go and play in it" I say and he was all jumpy and excited like me and sam used to be when we got to go out into the snow. There's so many childhood experiences he never had so I'm going to make sure he does.
"They're going to be here in an hour" I remind cam and go to get myself ready. I put on a purple fuzzy sweater and black jeans. I just threw my hair into a messy bun and left it at that. I grabbed jackets and beanies for when we went outside and set them out and went downstairs.
We see sams truck pull up with nate.
They get out and me and cam help then bring in presents.
Then sadie, gilinsky, and carson show up, then Jack and nash.
I felt a tug on my arm and looked down to see carson.
"Aunty Ellie can we open presents?" She asks
"Yeah let's do it" I say and she excidedly runs over to the tree.
"I want you all to open my presents first" she says and we all laugh.
She hands gilinsky his first.
It was a picture she painted of them together in a frame.
"Awe thank you carson I love it" he says kissing her cheek.
Sam got his, then nate, nash and johnson.
"I saved one of the best for you uncle cam" she says handing him a box.
"Mommy helped me make it" she sad as he opens it and sees a jar that says
100 reasons that I love you
"This is so sweet" he says
"I had a whole lot more but I left it at 100!" She says and my heart hurt and I'm sure everyone else's was too.
"I saved the best for you aunty lilly" she says handing me something flat. I unwrap it and was so happy. It was a picture we had taken together the other day in a frame that she painted.
"I love it" I say Hugging her.
Now it was time for everyone to hand out presents.
Once everyone was situated with their presents.
"Gilinsky I need your help" I say and he knows to bring the huge TV down. Wrapped of course.
He carries it down and everyone looks at the huge thing.
"Who's it for?" Nate asks
"Cameron" I say.
We open presents and I get to cams.
I open the box to see a ton of makeup. Like, a lot.
"Best boyfriend ever" I say and kiss him.
"Fiancé" he corrects me and I laugh.
"Another?" I say as he hands me a smaller box.
"How'd you know?" I ask opening the box to see a bracelet that I had wanted ever since I was a little girl. I had always asked my mom for it, but we never had the money to just spend it like that.
"I asked your mom what you would like and she told me about it, I couldn't help myself I love making you happy" he says
"Awww" sadie says.
"You're the sweetest" I say.
"Yuck save it for when we're gone" sam laughs.
"Okay cam here" I say handing him the box of video games.
He opened it and his mouth dropped.
"Okay it's very rare that a guy finds a girl that buys him video games, I think your the one" he laughs.
"Did I get some good ones I wouldn't know" I asks
"You did" he says looking through them.
"Big present now!!!" I say.
He opens it.
"On my god!" He says "it's huge!"
"You like it?" I ask
"Yes dude were so playing later" cam says to nash.
"One more big suprise" sam says.
"For who?" Gilinsky asks
"Lilly" he says and I get excited.
"It's outside" sam says. "But I gotta cover your eyes" he says. He leads me outside covering my eyes and everyone follows.
He pulls his hands of and I gasp.
"It's mine?!" I shriek.
"It's all yours" he says.
It was the cutest pink VW bug I've ever seen.
"Now you have no excuse to not get your license." He says
"Thank you thank you thank you!" I say hugging my overly amazing brother.
"Sam you do realize she's going to make me ride in that with her?" Cam says.
"Oh yeah I realized that" sam laughs.
"Imagine nate in it" I laugh.
"God no" nate says
"Fine" I say and it started snowing.
"We should probably go back inside" I say and we all go in.
"Guess what I brought" johnson says
"I'll kill you!" Sam says smashing johnson on the couch. Throwing a disk to gilinsky.
"Oh god no" I say figuring out what it was.
"What is it?" Cameron asks
"It's videos of me and sam when we were little on Christmas and their super embarrassing" I say
"I'm sure cameron wants to see it" Gilinsky says
"Yeah I kinda do" he laughs
"No!" I say.
Sam gets off johnson and grabs the disk and hands it to me.
"Go put this somewhere" he says and I nod going up to my room and hiding it.
I walk back down and everyone was watching the video where me and sam were both in diapers being stupid and messy with frosting.
"What how'd y-"
"He brought a back up" Sam glares at johnson while nate was holding him down.
"Lilly you're so tiny!" Nash says
"Great now my boyfriends seen me in a diaper" I laugh sitting next to cam. As much as this embarrasses me, it did make me happy.
"Well now I'll be prepared for when your old" cam laughs and I hit him.
Then one came on of me when I was 3, and I was singing Christmas songs and dancing but I didn't know my mom was filming.
"You're so adorable!" Cameron laughs.
"Oh yeah just look at those Barbie pajama pants" I say sarcastically.
"They're fab" sadie says.
We literally watched these videos for the longest time before they were over.
"You were so cute" cam says hugging me.
"I was so cute? The hell I still am!" I say.
He laughs and kisses me.
"Mommy! Aunty lilly and uncle cam are being porn!" Carson tells and we give her a weird look.
"She's been watching quite a bit of Miranda sings" sadie laughs
"I can tell" I say.
We had dinner and hung out for a little longer.
___
Everyone was gone and it was around 9 pm.
"Let's go drive" I say excitedly to cam.
"It's dark and you don't have your license" he says
"I know how to drive cameron" I say
"You want to get in trouble before you even can get your license?" He asks
"It'll be fine" I say
"Okay I guess lets go" he says.
We go out and get in my car.
It was probably the best most amazing thing ever.
I started it up and pulled out of the driveway.
We started driving around and I accidentally ran a red light.
"Crap" I say when I see lights and a cop car behind me. I pull over.
"Way to go" cam says
"Give me your license" I say
"Why?" He asks
"Just do it and put the hood on" I say.
He did as told and the cop comes up to my window.
"I need your license" he says
I show him camerons and he gives me a funny look.
"I need yours mam" he says
"This is mine I got it before I got my procedures done, I'm trans" I say
"Oh um, I uh sorry okay just make sure you don't do it again." He says awkwardly
"Thanks doll" I say and drive off.
"I can not believe that worked" cameron says.
"I have skills" I laugh.

We got home and it was pretty late, I blew out our candles and went upstairs, got in my pajamas and went to bed.
