CHRISTMAS DAY!🎄
Shelby's p.o.v
"And the last gift goes to Shelby!" Mahogany said handing me a box
"Yea that's from me." Michael, Mohogany's son said.
"Thanks Michael! I needed a new case!" I said admiring the new otter box.
"No prob." He responded
We all started talking in our on convos.
"Did you have fun baby?" Alex asked
Even though he calls be baby all the time I still get butterflies.
"I did! Thanks for making it better." I said kissing his cheek.
"I love you." He said
I looked up at him. That's the first time he's ever said that.
"I love you." I repeated
He smiled and pecked my lips.
Mom turned on home alone and we all cuddled and watched it. It's a really old movie yet they still play it on tv.
"I should do that." Beth laughed
"Oh yea I'm all in!" Ty agreed (matts youngest son)
"Oh no, you guys are already enough trouble cam laughed. We continued to talk about everything until the doorbell rang.
"I got it!" Mom said running to the door like a little kid
"Draven!?" She yelled
Taylor ran to the door
"Sophia! Um is Alex here?" He asked
"Why?" Taylor snapped
"Because he's my stepson."
"Well he's my real son, so if you need to say something say it now!" Nash said running up to him
"Um I have a present from me and his mom."
"Ok I'll give it to him. Goodbye." Taylor said slamming the door
"How do you know draven?" Alex asked standing up
"He um beat me in high school." My mom looked down
I heard about draven but I didn't know he was Alex's stepdad.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I didn't um know that." Alex said scratching his neck
"It's ok. It's in the past. Here's your gift." She said handing him the small package. He smiled and stuck it in his back pocket.
The day slowly went on. We were all sad by the end of the day because that meant Alex, Jake, and I all had to leave tomorrow morning.
Everyone said goodbye and hugged us. Once everyone went home we went to bed.

Next day

"Alex get up!" I yelled hitting him with a pillow
"I'm up I'm up!"he said slowly getting up
We ate breakfast and mom drove us to the airport.
"Don't be shy. Grow some and ask her out!" Alex said to Jake
"Alright man and hurt my sister and I'll cut your throat." He said
"I promise i won't." Alex said glancing at me
They did a bro shake and I gave a big hug to Jake.
"Bye little bro!" I said squeezing him
"Bye big sis by 3 minuets."
I laughed
"Love you!"
"Love you too." He said letting go
We walked our separate ways. Alex and I got on our plane and started our flight l back to New York . I started crying and Alex comforted me. I'm so happy we are finally together. I love him with all my heart. I closed my eyes and stated thinking about all we've been through together. From when we were kids running away to be clouds, to when we first saw each other after 3 years.
