-Let My Guard Down-

-Perfect-

A day before Christmas and I have had no contact with Simon or any others. I've mostly been spending time with my family and friends after not seeing them in a while. Honestly i have missed Simon; I have been so used to spending a lot of time with him lately I feel so lost and bored. I had put up the decorations i bought with Harry so my house was looking extremely festive even though i was the only one who was going to see it.

It had taken most of the morning to put up the tree and decorate it so at around 2 i sat down to relax for a while before i had to put the boxes away. Switching on my phone on (i turned it off to avoid distractions earlier) I had a couple of messages;

Lachlan- Please go round to Viks before Christmas:)

Vik- Come round quick I have a surprise!

Kind of creepy, I decided to message Vik first,

Heather- Is it important??

Vik- definitely now hurry!

Before leaving the house I sent a message to Lachlan letting him know I was on my way to Viks, locking the door and getting into my car quickly driving off not sure if it's actually important me going to his or not. Arriving outside the large house Vik was already standing outside,

'What's going on?' I ask laughing at him running over to me,

'I wanna show you something that arrived' he basically pulls me out my car into the house. We reach the living room where in the centre of the room was a poorly decorated tree with a few small presents around it,

'Why am I here? As well as why are you here, i thought all of you had left to go back to family's for Christmas?'

'I'm leaving in a couple of hours but I wanted to do this before I leave. Oh and Simons here however he didn't want to see you, so yeah...'

'It's cool I didn't expect him too, so again why am I here?'

'Well... You've got 2 presents from some very special people'

'No I haven't got you anything I can't take them'

'Actually Simon choose one of the from all of us because he had got you something a couple weeks ago and we may of forgotten about Christmas was so soon. Secondly that one' he points at a small box behind the tree 'is from someone else'

'Who else would get me a present'

'That's the surprise now open the one from us first, I'm not sure what it actually is I just found it in Simon's room so i brought it down' I pause before opening the present, if its from Simon it may be something more personal from when we were dating, I attempt to avoid opening the present in front of Vik.

'Actually I'm going to open it tomorrow instead'

'That's ok but open this one down because i want to see your reaction' he passes me the small package,

'You're scaring me a bit'

'Just open it please'

Slowly i begin unwrapping the present, ripping the shiny gold paper covering it revealed another box. Finally opening the last box there was a small simple silver bracelet with a leaf and kangaroo on it. Already i knew who it was from still i decided to read the folded note,

Dear Heather,

I know we said we weren't going to get each other anything over Christmas but i saw this and instantly thought of you. Hope to see your beautiful face soon in person.

Have a good Christmas, Blondie x

Lachlan of course, he's too sweet. I put on the bracelet which fit my wrist perfectly,

'Was coming over worth it now?'

'Yes thank you Vikky' we hug each other tightly but is disturbed by Simon shouting,

'Yo Vik I'm going now. Have a goo-' he walks in the lounge where me and Vik were both sat on the sofa.

'Oh you're here' he now says in a more grumpy tone,

'Merry Christmas to you too, don't worry I was just leaving'

'Good' Wow that was rude,

'No need to be a dick Simon' Vik says standing up for me,

'Don't worry Vik also thank and Lachlan for what you did'

'What did he do' Simon interrupts again,

'He brought her this bracelet. Don't you think they would be perfect for each other?' Vik says way to happy only making Simon look more pissed off and slightly clenching his fist.

'i agree they would be perfect. Another boy for Heather to date then dump!' Simon says sarcastically in a higher pitch,

'What is that supposed to mean' Vik asks now Simon has made things very awkward, 'did anything ever happen between you two?'

'No like I would ever let something like that happen, I mean look at her!'

'Simon what is wrong with you!' Vik shouts whilst i walk over to Simon furious of how he thinks he can say these things. As i get closer to him the stench of alcohol fills my nostrils,

'Have you been drinking again?'
