Suddenly, you | Completed

Chapter 12

On Christmas Eve, I received several texts. Which was rare, since it wasn't very common thing to happen to me. One was surprisingly from Aubrey. Our frienship wasn't officially over yet, but I had thought that she didn't care anymore, so I was shocked to read her cheerful message:

Noraaaaaa merry xmas eve!!!! have fun and dont drink 2 much lmao b careful w/ da food u know u may xplode 1 day hahaha have fun chick xoxo

Yes, that was weird. I was guessing she was already a bit drunk, but whatever.

The next ones were from Stella and Mia.

Noraa merry christmas eve! have a lot of fun and be a good girl, remember santa's watching you ;) ;) love you

Hey chica ;) enjoy your day cause you deserve it! eat as much as u can, u know u want to lol have fun xoxo

There were a couple more from some classmates –three girls from my Spanish class. The last one was from Matt.

Hey Nora, this is your sexy friend Matt XD just wanted to wish you a merry christmas eve and to tell you to have fun, remember it might be hard sometimes but it's possible, I promise ;)

Ps: expect a surprise soon :p

Matt. He was so sweet when he wanted to. Well, most of the time he was. It tranquilized me to see the word 'friend' in that text. Now I could clearly see that he saw me as a friend and nothing else, so I could perfectly move on and get over this fake feeling.

I was one hundred percent sure that I was not going to have fun, but one thing that a text said was for sure: I was going to eat until I couldn't fit through my front door.

I reached for my phone and dialed the Pizza Hut number.

"Good evening. I wanted a large pepperoni chicken and tuna pizza with extra mozzarela and parmesan cheese. Twenty minutes? Okay. Yes. No. Alright, thank you." I gave them my adress and hung up.

Yep, I was going to devour a giant pizza al by myself and I wasn't going to regret it.

I was going through my Twitter feed when someone knocked on the front door. Delivery guy was here.

I passed the living room and the kitchen on my way to the door. I stole a glance at the living room to see my father sleeping on the couch with the TV on, broadcasting a football game. Our living wasn't even decorated, not since mom passed.

I opened the door and faced the delivery guy –he was cute but too young. I took the pizza away from him and gave him the money.

"Keep the change." I muttered. I could hear a 'merry christmas' before I shut the door with my foot.

I passed my brother Jake on my way to my room, who looked at my pizza with wide eyes and whispered a 'wow', shaking his head. I could've sworn that I saw a ghost of a smile on his face but I shook my head and continued my way to my cave, while Jake disappeared down the hall. A few minutes later, I heard the front door open and close and then Jake's car roaring to life and speeding away. He was going to spend the night with his many friends and with some lady friends of hiw own. The dick.

Half an hour later, after I had downed eight slices of pizza all on my own, I couldn't move, and there were still two more slices to eat. I left the box on my night table and got up from bed.

I went to the bathroom in the middle of the hall and brushed my teeth, washed my face and did my business (not gonna describe that because gross). When I was done, I was going to turn right to go to my room but, against my better judgement, turned left and headed to the living room.
