PATRICK'S P.O.V

Today was the day that I was going to give Megan the promise ring. I couldn't be more nervous. I knew that she would love it, but that still didn't help my nerves. I really hope she likes it. Right now it is currently 6:30 AM. I woke up because I was so nervous. I was just sitting there awake. I was over thinking everything. I cant believe that I have everything I want and I am nervous to give the perfect girl a silly promise ring. I decided to get up and go make some breakfast for Jonny, Megan and I. I was planning on giving Megan the ring and telling her what it represents on her birthday, but I couldn't wait that long. I decided instead of the 31st I would just give it to her on the 25, or Christmas. I am glad I changed the day because I would die of anxiety before I could give it to her if I waited until her birthday. I got out the waffle maker and the batter. I decided I would make us some waffles. While I was mixing the batter Jonny came down.

"what's got you up so early?" He asked me as he came over and sat on the counter.

I continued to mix, but I answered him, " I am just thinking," I knew he will pry me open and fined out what I'm thinking about, but I will act like its nothing right now.

"About what?" He then responded. "I mean you of all people don't just wake up and start cooking. Something important is on your mind and I am going to find out. I don't know why you try to keep things from me. I mean I am going to find out. I am your best friend. So how bout we skip the 'I don't know what youre talking about' phase and you just tell me." He then said. I might as well tell him. It may even help me in the long run. Hopefully telling him will calm my nerves.

"Fine. I am really nervous about giving Megan the promise ring. I mean I really like her and I don't want to mess things up with her. I am overthinking. I know things are perfect now, but what if they aren't after I give her the ring. I would be devastated if things start to go wrong. I would never forgive myself." I told him everything that was on my mind and surprisingly it helped. I wasn't so nervous. I mean don't get me wrong I am still nervous about the whole thing, but not as much.

"Well that is normal. You should be nervous about these kinds of things. I mean this is a big step. You shouldn't be so nervous because I know she will love it." Jonny said. Then he got off the counter and walked over to me and embraced me in a hug. I needed that. I mean sure if a complete stranger walked in they would be quite confused, but that didn't matter at that moment. I was glad I told him because he always helps me.

BREAKFAST TIME:

MEGAN'S P.O.V

I had gotten up about ten minutes before breakfast. Patrick didn't seem himself, but I figured he would just come to me if he needed anything. I knew he would appreciate space, so that what I gave him. I am so excited. It is finally Christmas! My favorite holiday! We ate our waffles and then walked over to the couch. Jonathan turned on the NHL Network.

We were watching TV for what seemed like for hours, but then Patrick said,"Lets open gifts!" That was more like himself. I was so happy. I got on the floor and started handing out the presents.

JONATHAN'S P.O.V

I want Megan to open my gift I got her first because I think it will lighten the mood with Patrick being so nervous.

"Hey Megs, open the gift I got you first." I then sat down next to Patrick and mimicked how Megan was sitting.

"Okay," She said. I knew she was hesitant in what I got her because I was joking with her yesterday telling her that I had got her some socks and underwear. I didn't. I got her something she will really enjoy.

Megs handed out all the presents and she searched for the present I got her. She found it and started to open it. It was what appeared to be an empty box. "Really, Jonathan you got me a box?" That made me laugh because no why would I get her a box.

"No. Give me more credit then that. Look inside, Megs." I said. I was trying so hard to not laugh. I didn't want her to think that it was just empty box, because it wasn't.

"Fine, but if it is underwear and socks I am going to give them to you." She then responded. That comment made me and Patrick laugh really hard.

"Of course it isn't underwear and socks. It is panties and bras." I said. That made us all laugh uncontrollably. I would never get Megs that because she is like my little sister. That would just be plan perverted. "Ok, no just open it," I said. There were actually two gifts in there. One joke, and one real present.

MEGAN'S P.O.V.

This present is actually scaring me. I don't want anything that is really weird and awkward. I opened the box and saw two Blackhawks jerseys. One red and one white. I couldn't contain my smile. I pulled out the red jersey and saw 'Meggers' and '19' on it. That had to be a joke one because they know only my dad calls me that and I don't like that nickname. I actually only allow my dad to call me that. And I actually only like when he calls me Meggers. That made me laugh. I then pulled out the white one and saw 'My Little Sister' and '19' on it. I couldn't help but tear up. That was so sweet of Jonathan. That had to be the true gift. I knew he said one was a joke and one wasn't, so that had to be it.

"Aww Jonathan that is so sweet! Patrick your gift has to be amazing to out shine this one!" I told the boys. Of course I was kidding because, yes these were amazing gifts. Nothing would out shine my boyfriends.

"His will. Don't worry Megs." Jonny then told me. I knew it would. I didn't really doubt it.

We opened all of our gifts so I decided that I would get up and start throwing the trash away.

PATRICK'S P.O.V

Megan started to get up and she was walking away.

"Wait. Where are you going? There is still one more gift." I said as stood up to stop Megan.

"No there isn't. I handed them all out." She replied while turning around.

"Well what is this then?" I asked her as I took the ring box out if my pocket.

"Oh my gosh! Patrick!" She said as she looked shocked.

"Ok. Megs. It isn't a proposal. It's a promise ring. I have one as well. But it is a necklace chain. We have to make a promise to each other and we can never break that promise." I explained to her. I handed her the box and she opened it. I could see her eyes just light up when she opened the box. I knew she liked it. She walked over to me and gave me a huge hug. She then kissed my lips with a delicate kiss.

She put the ring on and said "I promise to wait for you. I know how hard a real relationship is for you. So I will wait and give you time." She said. She then walked up and hugged me. That is the best response I could have gotten. She really knows what I need to make sure I don't do anything stupid and that is one major key.

I then took the chain out of my shirt and said," I promise to never give in to temptation." I then started rubbing we back. She pulled away and started crying. I wiped her tears away and said "Thank you Megan. I love you,"

"I don't know why you're thanking me, but you're welcome. I love you too, Patrick. I couldn't ask for anyone else!" She said. She then started to wipe her eyes herself. Man everything she does make me love her even more!
