*Shay's POV*
The day had finally come! Christmas Eve was finally here! The boys had already promised to take us to their hotel for a holiday party. For now, The girls and I shoved all the boys' presents in a big red sack and we were all at Emily's flat getting ready for tonight. Emily's flat was about eight times the size of mine, so we were all in her room getting our hair and makeup done.
As I was pinning up my hair, I noticed that I was still wearing the necklace that Josh gave me and I frowned. Ever since the day I saw him kissing that girl, he hasn't called or text me. I must have bored him a little. I shrugged it off and helped Tishana do her makeup. When we were all done, we heard a knock at the door. There stood Paul, in a tuxedo and a sweet smile.
"Well, girls, you are going to be the crowned jewels at the party." Paul said, hugging us all. We smiled at him and all got in the car. I felt my heart flutter as I realized I would be seeing Josh there.
When we got there, Paul walked us to a room that was fit for a celebrities. There was a beautiful chandelier in the middle of the cieling and the room was full of gold ornaments. I noticed that there was a huge Christmas Tree in the corner with presents at the bottom. I smiled as I watched the boys and their families walk towards us. That lead to a commotion of hugging and kissing. I hugged everyone, minus the one person I needed a hug from the most.
I looked around the room and saw Josh looking at all the presents under the tree. I smiled as I walked next to him, but he didn't seem to noticed. I slightly swayed and bumped my hip against his. Josh gave me a small smile and I flung my arms around his neck, pulling his closer to me. I felt as his arms wrapped around my waist.
"I'm so sorry for not calling you..." He mumbled against my shoulder. I smiled back.
"It's okay... I just needed my best friend." I pulled away and wiped some tears from my face. He took my hand and smiled.
"I want you to meet my family." He pulled me to the table where his family sat and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Shay, this is my mother, my father, and my brother Ben."
I smiled and waved at them. I looked at Josh and smiled. It was good to have him back.

Even when I was in Niall's arms, I couldn't stop looking over at Shay. She was so sad lately and she never wanted to talk about it. One day, I caught her crying in the bathroom, but she claimed that she had a very severe headache. I looked at Niall, who had a concerned face on.
"Princess, what's the matter?" He asked, pouting as he rubbed my arms with his fingertips. I loved dating Niall. He treated me like a lady and I always felt safe in his arms.
"Something isn't right with Shay and Josh." I said, frowning. Shay hadn't had much luck with guys.
"Probably relationship troubles, dear. Everyone's gone through them." Niall said, chuckling at my sad expression. I shook my head.
"Niall... You don't understand. Shay has never been in a relationship before. She doesn't know how to cope with everything happening... How has Josh been lately?"
Niall thought for a moment. "Well, now that you mentioned it, Josh has been rather sad lately. Ladt week, he didn't come out of his room. He just sat there, with all the lights off, fiddling with his phone."
I shook my head and looked at them. They were hugging in front of the Christmas Tree and he was taking her to see his family. I smiled weakly at Niall. He smiled his amazing smile and missed my forehead softly. I wish he would just kiss me already!

I found myself smiling like an idiot. Josh's family were so nice! I excused myself for a moment and went to cheek on my present for Josh. I had used about half of my savings for a new camera to buy Josh a new case of drumsticks. There was about 40 of them and they all had his initials on the ends.
