"Ariana, help me set up the Christmas tree!" Frankie called downstairs. It was Christmas Eve. I was, of course, talking to my boyfriend Nathan Skyes. "I'll be right there!" I replied. "Nathan, I'll call you later" I said. "Okay babe, call me at midnight." Nathan said over the phone. We hung up. I went to mirror and thought how thankful I should be. After all, I am doing really well in my career. But I also thought about my life if Nathan broke up with me. My heart started to sink. I couldn't even imagine that moment. I waited for a minute, and then I remembered that Frankie called me! I hurried downstairs and Frankie was folding his arms. "Why'd you take so long?" "I'm sorry, I was talking to Nathan" I knew that was a bit of a lie, because I was actually daydreaming and staring into my mirror for most of the time. "You and Nathan are getting serious. I thought you'd never get over Jai." Frankie said, "And just in time for Christmas." "I know, I really love Nathan. I just guess... Jai wasn't my type." Just then I felt hot breathing on my ankles. It was Toulouse! A minute later, Joan, my mom, came in the living room with Coco and Ophelia. I remember when I first adopted my dogs. They were so small. Now, they reach my stomach! "Ariana, sweetie, are you feeling alright? You are very pale." my mom asked me. "I'm fine." Which I really wasn't. I was, pale. I felt weak and sick. I was still worried about our relationship. Nathan has been suspicious lately. I really do love him, but something about Nathan has "changed". "Well, since you took so long, I already set up the Christmas tree. Now you can help me make cookies." Frankie groaned. "Frankie, get some Christmas spirit!" I giggled. I walked into the kitchen. I got the cookie dough from the fridge. When the fridge closed, I got a tap on the shoulder. It was Nonna. "Ariana, dear, can I help you with the cookies? You seem weak." "I'm fine Nonna." I said, feeling kinda woozy. Then it was all black. I must've fainted. "Ariana, honey? Are you awake?" my mom said. Frankie was also there, Toulouse in his arms. I did faint. My eyes opened and closed repeatedly until my vision was back to normal. I felt totally better. Must've been stress. I've done so many tours, rehearsals, and voice checks this week, maybe it was too much for me and I got sick. I realized it was 11:30, almost midnight. Nathan was going to talk to me. I totally forgot! I punched in his cell on my vintage phone which must've been from the 80s! After all, this is Nonna and Grandpa Grande's house. Nathan didn't reply. This was the suspicious I was talking about. I called him one more time to make sure, but no answer. Then I get to bed. I was just about to close my eyes when Nathan called me. It was about 1:30. I can't believe he's not in bed yet. On a regular day, probably, but on Christmas Eve? Something must've happened. I get a call from Nathan. "Hey, I'm a little busy right now. Call you after New Years. <3" and ended the call. Busy?? At 1:30 AM? Call on New Years?! My boyfriend is starting to scare me. I couldn't sleep that night. All I could think about was Nathan and the phone call. I love him so much! Why is he starting to worry me? Couples call each other every day, even 2 days. But the 24th and after the 1st is a bit distant. My mind is racing with so many bad and good ideas. I'm so.... so.... tired. I fell asleep. But in which literally felt like 5 minutes, it was morning. I had no sleep at all. I was a zombie. "Why is your face like that?" Frankie asked. "Hey! I didn't sleep at all last night." I groaned. "Why, were you up all night with Nathan?" Frankie joked. "Yeah." I knew I was lying. But I wanna keep this a secret right now until I know more about this "after New Years" thing. I grabbed some berries, yogurt, and granola for breakfast. Then I heard a ring on the doorbell after eating. I opened the door and it was my best friend Alexa! It was Christmas today and Alexa brought her presents so we can open them together. "Alexa! Finally, you came. Let's go see what Santa got us!" I said, excitedly. "Sure." she replied. Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. Who could that be? I opened the door. Surprisingly, it was Nathan! "Surprise, baby!" Nathan said. "Nathan, what brings you here? I thought you said we can't call till after New Years!" I screeched. Alexa peered over and said "Come on, let's go to the living room." We walk in and sit on the couch. "I'll explain everything, I'm sorry about last night. I was busy planning a surprise party for you. And the only reason I couldn't call you till after New Years was because I needed to plan everything for the party." Nathan said. " What's the party about?" Alexa asked. "Nothing really, I just wanted to spend time with my little Ari!" Nathan replied. "Then how come you came here now?" I wondered. "Why not do it now, We're all prepared for the party and I got some free time from the tour." he suggested. "Sure!" My face shined like the sun. Nathan held my hand and brought me to a private dance hall for the party. He swept me off my feet! I had such a blast! The party was one of the best nights of my life. I guess Nathan wasn't as suspicious as I thought. He was better than Jai. Nathan will forever be in my heart. His kind personality creates nights like these. I've never felt so happy.
The End. This will not be updated because its completed. Luv U all!**** Nikki
