Twenty One : Merry Christmas

A/N : enjoy & please read the A/N at the end ! I don't know anything about Niall's other family like cousins and aunts/uncles so it's just made up !

Callie :

"WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!! CALLIE SANTA CAME!!" Niall's five year old cousin Lauren yells in my ear.

I wake up and get out of bed and walk down the hall into the living room to see Niall's family and my family. I sit down by my sister Cara, she didn't get here until the day before Christmas Eve with her fiance. She's 27 and engaged. I've been able to catch up with her these past two days and it's been nice. I've missed her so much and she lives in America now and is a doctor.

"So I see you spent the night here!" Cara laughs making fun of me. I was going to sleep in my own bed last night with the rest of my family but I was too tired to leave and ended up sleeping in one of Niall's guest rooms. Jennifer and Niall got to share his bed of course, I miss Niall's arms around me so much.

"Yeah, I was too tired and Maura said I could just stay the night. I was planning on sleeping in my own bed." I said sleepily.

We all handed out gifts as Niall and Jennifer walked into the living room holding hands, of course. Niall and I's family celebrated Christmas together usually because our families are so close and all my family is in America cause we moved here for my dad's job so long ago.

I look over to Niall and see him looking at me and I just look away. Ever since that whole balcony scene Niall hasn't let me out of his sight. He was sometimes with me but always with Jennifer. These past couple of days were really boring because I've been spending them alone unless I was catching up with my parents or now Cara. Niall has been spending time with his family and Jennifer. When Niall did spend time with me though it was like he was there with me but he wasn't, it was like he was there physically but not mentally. He was quiet and made small talk, it was as if we were slowly distancing and I didn't know what to do or what to say to fix it.

"Alright everyone open their presents!" Maura yells excitedly.

I look down to see many gifts. I see some from my parents and Cara, Niall's parents and grandparents, Niall's aunt and uncles, my grandparents, and Santa. Nothing from Niall though. Wow did he really forget me?

I open my gifts and I got sweaters, fuzzy socks, a candle, and lotions from Niall's family. Then from my family I got a phone case, new earbuds, Uggs, movies, and a white Polaroid. Score! I thank Niall's family and my own. Then from Santa I got a pajama set. So this Christmas was successful, besides Niall forgeting about me.

"Hey these are yours too Callie, from our family in America." Cara said while handing me like five envelopes. The last time we saw them was like what two years ago probably. They all live in Florida which is nice cause then we go to Disneyworld and Harry Potter when we go vist.

I open my envelopes to find: $50 giftcard to Lush, $30 Target giftcard, $20 ITunes giftcard, $50 Hollister giftcard, and $30 Bath and Body Works giftcard. Nice I can use all of these! I'll have to text them all a thank you, I hope everyone liked the gifts I got them too.

I see Niall look at me again and this time I motion for him to go outside with me. He catches on and meets me outside. I grab his gift and head outside. I walk outside with his gift behind my back, it was rather large and heavy so it was kinda hard. I then see Niall come outside empty handed, ouch.

"I uhm-I just. Merry Christmas Niall." I say handing him his wrapped gift.

How awkward is this, he didn't get me anything and I got him a huge scrapbook of all the pictures and memories of everything we did with a huge letter at the end. I've been working on this book for the past three months at least. I had to take the time to get every picture we've taken printed out then every ticket or keepsake we had together found too. It took a long time but I wanted it to be special and made from my heart. He opened the gift and instantly smiled, causing me to smile.
