The Girl With Lips Of An Angel

The Key To My Home, My Heart, My Life

As soon as we pull into Anne's street, I know exactly which house is hers. The whole front garden is littered with cars, people and decorations. I shake my head with a smile, she really does love Christmas. Before we've even pulled up the drive way, my door is pulled open and Liam's face is in front of my own.

"Merry Christmas, Kaitlyn," He says cheerfully and I laugh.

"Merry Christmas to you too, Liam. Have a nice morning." I ask as I undo my seat belt and get out of the car.

He nods, "Spent it with the family. We had a huge breakfast, it was great."

"We had that too," Louis says as he comes to my side, "Though we had a few less people."

Liam and Louis continue chatting as I spot Zayn. He's leaning against his car with a cigarette in his mouth. I shake my head in dismay and walk over to him. Once I approach him, I snatch the cancer stick out of his mouth and frown.

"This isn't going to help any," I say quietly.

"You're right, but it makes it hurt a little less." He says.

I hug him tightly around the waist as he wraps his arms around my shoulders.

"It'll all work itself out eventually. Just give her some time," He nods and sniffles a little before straightening up.

He smiles a little and hands me a navy blue fabric bag, "Happy Christmas."

I shake my head at him with a smile, "Thank you."

I open the bag and pull out a little chain with a pendant on the end. It's a small silver heart with the word 'strength' written in the middle.

I look at him and he shrugs, "You're the strongest person I know, even after everything you've been through."

I smile a little, "Thank you, Zayn, really. It means a lot."

We hug each other again before walking inside and seeing everyone else. I greet Harry's mother and step father first, and compliment their home. Anne and Robin are lovely people. Then Harry comes bounding over, sweeps me up off the ground and hugs me. I laugh loudly and the sudden actions, as does he. He slowly lets me down while I recover from my head spin and we laugh again.

"Merry Christmas, Curly," I say and he smiles.

"Merry Christmas, short fry," He says and I laugh.

"Good one," I admit.

"I thought so," He says with a proud smile and I shake my head, "Oh, I want youth meet my sister, come on!"

He pulls me harshly by the arm around the house and into the sitting area to a small group of people. Sitting with that group of people, is Harry's older sister Gemma. She stands quickly and walks over to me and pulls me into a hug.

"Sorry," She says with a giggle, "We're a fa,ily of huggers."

"So I've noticed," I comment and her and Harry laugh.

"You're so beautiful," I compliment and she smiles shyly.

"Thank you, you're very sweet," Hs says with a blush and I smile.

Anne then comes into the room and says that Li ch is an hour away so we're going to exchange presents. We all follow her to the lounge room and that is where I see just how big the crowd is that has assembled at the Twist/Styles' residence. Every single family member of the boys' immediate families are here, significant others and children as well. Even Ashton, Luke, Michael and Calum are here with their families. Moments like these make me miss Jonah and Anna so much. But I get to see the, tomorrow, which brightens my sour mood.

Soon enough, Anne starts handing out presents to everyone. From the corner of my eye I see Rae walk over to Ashton and pull him outside, probably to talk things over about how she's feeling.

"Kaitlyn," Anne says and I look over at her.

"Hmm?" I murmur and she chuckles.

"Present for you, but you have to go with Louis to open it," She says with a wink.

I crunch my eye brows together but follow Louis back to the sitting room. He hands me another red box like the one form this morning, only this one is shallow and long. I take the lid off the top and inside sits and key and a name tag. On the name tag reads DJ and I look at Louis in confusion.

"Follow me," He says and takes my hand.

We walk out the back doors to a small greenhouse in Anne's garden. I hear some rustling inside which peaks my interests even more. He opens the door to the greenhouse and whistles. Just seconds later, out comes a ball of black and white fur that jumps at my legs.

"Kaitlyn, meet DJ, your new Siberian Husky puppy," Louis says as he crouched down to pat the dog's head.

I squeal in excitement and hug Louis, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He chuckles, abut out of breath from my sudden hug, "You're very welcome. I thought you could use another friend if away touring or doing interviews and stuff. So that's why I gave you the other present. It's a key to my house. Now, you don't have to move in, but it's there so you can come and go as you please and you can look after DJ whoever I'm not there."

My eyes water a little and I smile, "God, I love you, Louis Tomlinson."

"I love you too, Kaitlyn-Jane Riley," He says and kisses me.

We're soon interrupted by a little bark and we laugh. I pick DJ up off the ground and we walk back into the house to be with everyone else. Once inside, Niall runs over and snatches DJ away from me.

"Aren't you just the cutest thing ever, huh? Is uncle Niall gonna take you home?"

"No!" I demanded and took the dog back.

"Niall, she just got the dog, let her have some time with him before you smother him," Hayley admonishes.

"Thank you, Hayley. Happy Christmas," I say with a smile and she nods and returns my smile.

Niall chuckles, "I'm just messing with you, he's all yours. He's very cute," He says and I nod.

"Alright everyone, time for lunch," Anne calls out.

We all walk to the dining room where Anna has set up a few dining tables all together so that everyone fits. Luckily she has a big enough house for everyone. I see Rae and Ashton sit down next to each other. She looks at me with a bright smile and a glimmer in her eye. Things must have gone her way then.

Soon enough we're all immersed into conversation about anything and everything. Sitting in this moment right here I realise that is wouldn't want things any other way. I have new friends and family who I absolutely love, I have me best friend here with me, a new little furry friend and the love of my life. Everything is perfect.

Louis told me this morning that I was his angel, but I think he has it all wrong. He is my Angel. He is my shining light through all the dark, my beacon to get me through rough times, and my one love who I will cherish forever.

We are both angels for each other.
