*Summer's POV*
"hey, didn't you say your family lives in Maryland?" Jc asked sitting next to me on the sofa.
"yeah why?" i questioned turning the TV off and facing him.
"lets go visit them for Christmas" he suggested. i smiled and pulled him off the sofa.
"lets go" i said as we started packing up our bags.

It was clear that my mom’s interrogating questions weren’t helping Jc’s nerves in the slightest way. “Well, with you being a youtuber and all, when you travel what happens when something happens that she needs you, but you’re not home?” my mom questioned.
As bad as I felt for Jc, you knew very well it was all out of good intentions, he had been traveling a lot lately. my mom was already through two divorces, and I knew she was trying to protect me.
“I know. It sucks. Last time we were gone, the boys got so fed up with me because I was constantly thinking about her. But we make it through. I call her as much as possible and always send texts and Skype whenever we can. But if something major happened, I’d try my absolute best to get home. I wanna protect her as much as I can; she means the world to me.” Jc smiled, his hand tightening around yours under the table.
I looked up at him with a giant smile on my face as he spoke more than needed. I saw the smile growing on my mom’s face as he went on, and I slowly felt the tension melting.
“What?” Jc laughed nervously when he finally stopped long enough to notice me looking at him.
“Nothing. Just, I love you.” I smiled, completely ignoring everything else in the room.
“I love you, too.” Jc smiled back.
Suddenly we both remembered where we were when my mom let out a soft laugh.
“What?” I asked this time.
“It’s just cute how in love you two are. I can tell; the way you look at each other is something special.” She said, a weak smile on her lips.
"how about we open the presents now" I suggested.
"good idea" my mom smiled.

we were sitting on the couch sipping hot chocolate in the pile of wrapping paper I had just brought up. my younger brother, Michael, was running around playing with his new toys and my parents were attempting to clean up the mess you’ve made opening all the gifts. I were great full for everything your parents had given me.
I noticed how well Jc was getting along with Michael and the rest of my family.
"when are you guys leaving?" Michael asked.
"in like 5 minutes" Jc replied sadly.
"but I don't want you to go" he whined.
"we'll be back soon dude" Jc said walking to me and grabbing my hand. I nodded knowing we had to leave. I grabbed my bags from the hallway and took them out to the car.
the drive to the airport was long and silent. the wait for the plane was the same way.
"flight 243 to California is boarding now" the lady over the intercom announced.
"well," I sighed standing up.
"call me when you land" my mom said pulling me into a tight hug.
"I will" I hugged back.
she pulled away and walked over to Jc,
"don't hurt her" she said sternly.
"I wont, and I never will" he said sweetly.
"good" she said hugging him too, "be safe kids"
we nodded and made our way to the plane.

i were beginning to grow sleepy while watching a movie with Jc. we had just arrived back home from the airport and jet lag fucked both of us up. I scooted closer to him, resting my head on his broad shoulder.
He also rested his head on top of mine, and you felt his arm snake around my waist, pulling me even closer. just then, I began to hear him hum something softly, and he also began to draw shapes on my forearm.
“I feel sleepy Jc,” i tell him, and he just sighs, grabbing the remote and turned the TV off. He turned to me and gave one of his smiles, the ones that made my heart melt.
“Then go to sleep,” he says.
I nodded and closed your eyes shut, sighing when I felt him pat my head. He then continued to hum a song that was unidentifiable in my ear softly, as he continued to draw random shapes on my skin.
his voice making dreamland just a little ways away.
"goodnight" i felt his breath on my face and you gave a small smile. He pressed his lips onto my cheek, and they became warm at the contact. he wrapped both of his arms around me this time.
“I love you so much, you’re perfect,” I heard him whisper just as my consciousness drifted away.
