I cried myself to sleep last night. Even though we only dated for about a week, (not even) I crushed on him for five months. That boy had my heart and he didn't even know until we started dating.

I trudged downstairs and grabbed the pizza box from the fridge, sniffling. My parents stopped their conversation to look at me and my mom stood up worry written all over her face. "Honey, what happened? What's wrong?"

I just shook my head and grabbed a bottle of water before trudging back up to my room.

I overheard Gavin talking to someone on the phone, "Just come quick, you don't know how much you'll help."

I rolled my eyes, he was probably talking to one of his one-night stands. My brother has more of a love life than me.

"She's in there," I faintly heard.

I put the volume on Girl Code higher, biting into my chicken wings, and avoiding contact with anyone who entered my room.

Jeff walked in front of my tv and took his shoes off, getting into the bed with me. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug and I immediately began sobbing. He rubbed my back, and I started hiccuping as the images replayed in my mind when Jaxon touched a part of me nobody had ever been near before.

I took a few deep breaths, and Jeff looked at me expectantly. "He tried to have sex with me." I confessed.

Jeff's eyes got darker by the second, "Did he touch you down there?"

I shook my head, looking anywhere but at him. I couldn't tell him his friend touched me. Jeff already knew, anyways. He knew me better than I did.

"He did," Jeff said. "How'd you get him to stop?"

"I threatened him." I said.

He fist-bumped me and took a few breaths to calm himself, "Let's talk about something else. How about the fact that tomorrow is Christmas? Do you think you could set aside the hatred you have for Jaxon and enjoy Christmas, for me? I have a few special gifts for you."

"Yeah, I can do that. But now, can we spend the day in bed watching Girl Code and eating? That's all I have the energy for."

Jeff smiled, "Yeah, let's do that."

He kept his arms around me and I replayed the episode since I missed half of it from talking to Jeff.

I'm so grateful for him, though.

"Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!" Jeff screamed jumping on my bed.

I checked my phone for the time, and glared holes into his back when I saw it was 2:34 am.

"Jeff, why are you up? It's two in the morning."

Jeff sat on the bed, "I wanted us to have our special moment of gift giving." He pouted.

Jeff is adorable at two in the morning.

"Ok, Jeff. But I'm not getting up so hand me the tiny Christmas bag in my closet."

He complied and grabbed his gifts as well.

He sat criss cross applesauce in my bed and handed me a bag, a $50 gift-card to Starbucks. "Jeff! I love this, thank you."

I handed him my gift of tickets to his favorite football team's most recent game. ((a/n: idk football so this is ur imagination lol)) "You know me so well," he cooed, pinching my cheek.

I grinned, happy I got him the gift he wanted.

"I have more for you." He said and pulled a crop top that read 'melanin goddess'.

"Oh my gosh, Jeff! This is amazing!" I gasp, pulling him into a hug, "thank you." ((picture on the side))

He blushed, "I also want to confess something. I was the one leaving you those notes in your car. And this is the diary I wrote about you." He handed me a small book.

"You- you love me?" I asked, looking directly into his eyes.

He simply nodded.

"I'm still feeling they aftermath of my last relationship, since it was yesterday," I slightly smiled as he gave me a toothy smile. "but I'll admit, before Jaxon started coming here, you were- you are my first love. And they say your you never lose your first love- it's true. I just need a while to breath, but you can hold me and we can hold hands- I don't want any titles just yet."

"I understand, one hundred percent." He answered, kissing my temple. "I'll wait for you."

"Even if it takes me a month?" No guy could hang around that long.

"Even if it takes you a year," he promised.

He pecked me on the lips and we put our gifts away and cuddled under the covers into the silent night.
