I swear time flies by when you're around people that make you happy.

It was christmas day and everyone would be coming over around noon to hang out and open my gifts that I got them.

Everything went great during the thanksgiving dinner and Ashton's mother already knew that we were dating, just like my parents.

Lauren and Harry were the most excited out of us all.

The four months that I had been with Ashton have been the best in a long while and we both made each other laugh. It was nice to finally feel complete after years of trying to find myself.

It was about 85 degrees outside which was typical for North Carolina but sometimes I wish it would snow.

When everyone arrived, we all sat down to eat our late lunch. All the adults hung out and socialized with each other while we all crowded around the christmas tree. We all had been laughing the whole time and cracking jokes with each other. 

"Hey Michael, is your hair starting to fall out yet?" Calum question with a sarcastic tone.

Michael simply gave him the death glare and flicked him off which resulted with us all breaking out laughing. 

Everybody was opening presents, Michael was current ripping open the present I got him which was...

"OMFG YOU GOT ME A PIKACHU BACKPACK AND A RAINBOW DASH ONE TOO!" Michael exclaimed in pure cheer. He leaped up and grabbed me off the floor quite violently and pulled me into a hug. 

"Michael,  you're kinda crushing me." I said while he basically squeezed the life out of me.

"Hey, easy there with my girlfriend, mate." Ashton said as he sat in the same spot while he laugh at me trying to escape from Michael's grip. 

"I have Ashton's gift but it's in a different room because it's too big to wrap." I said happily and I reached out.

Everyone seemed to get the idea and when we all crowded in this small spare bedroom, I opened the closet. There sat the Gretsch drum kit that I got for Ashton. He had this indescribable expression and tears started to cloud his eyes. 

Everyone gasped when they saw the drum kit and "awwww"ed when Ashton started to cry.

"I'm sorry that this was the only thing I could get." I said hugging him and running my hands through his hair to calm him down. He was completely hysterical but that's why I liked Ashton, He was in touch with his feelings. He was a softy at times and wasn't too stuck up to ask for help when he needed it.

"Try them out." Rachel requested while Abel had his hand around her waist. 

Ashton let go of me and hurried over to his new drum kit. He started to rhythmically tap the rack toms, keeping a constant beat. The way his face lit up when he was playing, it made me so happy.

Later on, we all just got fat off of sugar cookies and chilled around the campfire singing campfire songs like the 'campfire song' song from spongebob. 

We ended up falling asleep by the campfire. The last thing I remember was Ashton holding me tightly and kissing my temple. He then proceeded to whisper, "I'm never letting go."
