Christmas Special!!!!

Narrators POV
Dauntless had been going crazy getting ready for Christmas initiates had two weeks off for Christmas and new year then they had to face their fears so it should be fun anyways your probably wondering where's our favourite characters Eric and Chelsea well I'm about to tell you a story, the story of Eric and Chelsea's first Christmas together...

"Hey babe" Eric greeted Chelsea holding a piece of mistletoe in his hand behind his back

"Hey" she smiled he loved seeing her smile especially with what happened with Ryan "what you got behind your back" Chelsea asked curiously leaning round trying to see Eric chuckled and raised his hand so the mistletoe was above their head and smirked

"I know I'm shit at decorating and shit with Christmas shopping just shit at Christmas in general but I do know one thing girls like kissing under mistletoe at Christmas" he said Chelsea laughed and kissed him wrapping her arms around his neck

"Your not shit at it you just need a little bit of training that's all" she smiled

"Well as its Christmas Eve you have a whole year to train me for next year" he smile Chelsea chuckled

"Good because there's a lot to teach" she smiled Eric loved seeing her happy "anyway see you at the bar at 6 okay" she said skipping out the apartment

"YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE STAYING SOBER" he shouted after her retreating figure

"ITS CHRISTMAS" she shouted back Eric just rolled his eyes knowing Max would probably give him shit about it but Eric didn't see the issue he had with her drinking he just sighed and sat down on his sofa he pulled out the necklace he had bought for Chelsea it was one of those half half ones Chelsea's half had a lock above it saying I love while his half had a key and above it said you he smiled knowing she would love it his eyes drifted to the tattoo on his wrist all of it felt surreal like he was dreaming the last person to ever care about him was his mother and she probably hates him now.

Chelsea and Eric met in the bar to celebrate Christmas Eve with their friends Chelsea was soon drunk Eric however was too busy worrying about Chelsea to sit back and have a drink

"Yo man have a drink she's fine" Zeke slurs

"Fine" Eric gives in and has a few drinks just enough to be tipsy when midnight came around Eric escorted Chelsea back to the initiate dorms unfortunately they still had to sleep there

"Eric" Chelsea slurred

"Yes babe" Eric said

"You know I love you right" she said Eric smiled and replied

"Yes and I love you too"

"Good because I've got a surprise for you tomorrow" she smiled as if imagining it they arrived at the dorms Eric kissed her and walked back to his apartment and falling asleep.
