Chapter 8

Adam's POV:

__________

It's been a week since I had a fight with Clair. She's been ignoring me a lot and she ain't talking to me either.

Today was Christmas. Like this time in the morning every year I would shower, wear my cloths and go down with the family to open our gifts. But instead, I'm standing right here looking outside the window at the white snow that covered the street. There weren't any light out there. It's maybe cause it was cloudy today. Side lamps were lighted dimly on the street.

The street was so empty and I'm sure it was freezy out there. My breath made a white cloud on the window so all I thought about was drowning shapes. That was the thing I loved the most about winter. I drew a heart and wrote a C in it. I traced my finger in different shapes. And suddenly there was a soft knock on my door. I quickly erased the C from the heart and turned around.

Mom peeked her head in and gave me a warm smile.

"Merry christmas baby boy." She said in her motherly voice that made me smile.

"Merry christmas to you too mom. " I went to her giving her a huge bear hug. She was so tiny and short for me.

"Oh my baby boy had grown up. " She giggled and I heard her sniffle. I pulled back from the hug to see tears in her eyes.

"Oh my gosh. Mom are you crying?"She shook her head but I knew she lied for me not to worry.

"No it's just some dusts went in my eye. "She giggled nervously.

I raised one eye brow at her. She smiled and let out a sigh.

"It's just that you're growing so fast. "She said more tears escaping from her eyes.

"Oh mooomm come on. I'll always be your baby boy. "I said while hugging her again. She sniffled again wiping the tears away from her cheek.

I kiss her on her forehead and told her to go down and i'll follow her as soon as I take a shower. She nodded her head ,gave me a kiss on my cheek and leaving with a 'i love you'.

After I finished showering and getting ready , I opened my closet and brought four gifts. Yea. I bought everyone a gift but kept them in the closet cause if I put them under the christmas tree, Matt will die from curiosity and open them.

I went down stairs and heard talking from the kitchen. I thanked god and tip toed to the living room. Stuffing the gifts under the christmas tree, trying my best not to hit it so the decorations that Clair and Lucy made won't fall.

I breathed out a sighed of relief knowing that my plan had worked great fully. I turned back and entered the kitchen and saying my 'good morning's and 'merry christmas's.

I sat down on the kitchen island next to Lucy and started eating my breakfast. Today everything was done for breakfast. Like everything; egg, bacon, peanut butter,jam, juice (orange and apple) pancakes, waffles and many more. I thanked my mom for everything and she returned to me a sad smile and it broke my heart seeing her like that. I wonder why she was sad. I'm dying to know seeing her sad is killing me.

Dad dropped his news paper and clapped his hands. "It's time for opening the presents. " he said.

*5 minutes later*

Clair was hugging her sister for getting her a short sexy sleeveless dress. I smiled at her as she squealed and hugged Lucy again. Lucy got a brand new iPhone 5 and Matt got a guitar and a new radio like he wished.

I got a new Apple Mac laptop from dad and mom, and some clothes from Lucy which I know I wont wear cause they had things like 'I'm so hot for you girls 'and a wink next to it or 'I'm a heart breaker' or 'I'm sexy and I know it'. I swear i'm her boy doll.

And a new headphones from Clair cause she love my earphones and I guess she took them. Or maybe broke them. I don't know but I'm glad I got a headphones. And from Matt I got a manly necklace that said 'I'm single ;) '

I stared at the necklace then narrowed my eyes at Matt but he just shrugged giving me a sheep smile.

Finally it was my turn to give them my gifts.

I handed each one his own box and they decided to open it from oldest to youngest. So that means it started with dad. Yea I know they sometimes act like kids when it comes to christmas gifts. He opened his gift and looked in 'aw' at the silver watch. It was one of Swatch's new winter collection and I heard that dad wanted one so bad but mom told him ' you don't even look at your phone's watch and come back home late sometimes'.

His eye were wide like an owl and he was on the verge on tears. He hugged me soo tight and then when he pulled back. I saw sorrow and sadness in his eyes.

"Y-you didn't like it?" I asked worried.

"I loved it son. That's the best gift I've got till now. "

He told me and was replied by 'hey!' and 'that was hurtful ' and 'not fair'. I chuckled at them and dad laughed rolling his eyes at them.

"Thank you so much. " Was the last thing he said before mom started squealing "my turn my turn" like a 5 years old kid.

She opened her gift and literally started crying. It was a Givenchy perfume she used to put long time ago but then all stores stopped from selling it cause it got so old. It took me a long ride to the original factory to ask for that perfume so she better take good care of it. She hugged me till I couldn't breath and wanted my dad's help to take her off me.

Lucy's turn came and this time it was her favorite set of Mac Make-up box. She too squealed and hugged me tight. Gosh whats up with squealing and hugging today?!

Matt's turn came and he was already playing with the bouncy ball I got him. I shook my head at him. He so can't wait till his turn comes. He muttered a 'thanks bro' and continued minding his own business.

Clair's turn came and she wasn't as excited as the others were. She just gave me a half-smile and opened her gift slowly.

She looked down at the box and back at me with wide eyes , then back to the box.

I knew she will love it but she's trying to stay mad at me. So i'll just drop it. I tried I can't do anything anymore.

She cut my thoughts when she grabbed me in a huge bear hug. I heard her cry softly on my shoulder then she buried her head in my neck sobbing hard. I was shocked at first but then I rubbed her back slowly. I felt some tears blurring my vision but I kept them in so that they wont fall causing my throat to burn. I wrapped both arms around her waist and closed my eyes enjoying her sweet smell of strawberry shampoo.

She slowly pulled back sniffling and wiping away her tears. I got her red hair behind her ear and wiped a tear that was left on her cheek. She looked me in the eye and thanked me saying she loved me so much.

I didn't know that giving her a gift will make her say those words. I was so happy I could just die at the moment. I didn't know that that was all she wanted. I didn't know that giving her this will get her not mad at me anymore .Her gift was so simple. It was just a snow glob...
