Jazmin's P.O.V.

I felt a cold breeze brush over my face. I grabbed the pillow and covered my face, but I was still cold. I tried to ignore it, but I couldn't. I sat up and looked around. I was half asleep, but in the corner of my eye I saw a curtain moving. I got up and closed the window. I guess Santa had to use the window.. SANTA!

I ran to Sam quietly and shook him.

"Sam." I whispered still shaking him. "Sam, wake up."

"No, wait I have to ask you if you.." Sam began to mumble.

"Sam, wake up! It's Christmas!" I shook him harder and his eyes shot open.

"Christmas?" He sat up and looked around.

"Why don't we give Jc a good morning waking call?" I asked him.

"Okay." Sam stood up and walked over to Jc. I followed him, and we crouched down next to him.

"On three." I whispered.

"Okay. One." He began and we continued together. "Two. Three. Wake up Jc! It's Christmas! It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" We yelled in Jc's face and he jumped up screaming.

"What the hell was that?!" He yelled.

"Merry Christmas Jc!" I hugged him.

"How does it feel to be woken up early when you're sleeping peacefully?" Sam asked him.

"Not good." Jc sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"We know you're all up too so stop faking!" Sam called out everyone else fake sleeping. It was completely obvious.

"Presents?" Trevor shot his head up excited.

"Presents." Jc nodded.

Everyone sat up and tried to wake themselves up. I looked at the clock on the wall and groaned. I didn't even see what time it was before I decided to stay up. No one should be up at 6 in the morning when they're not suppose to, unless it's Christmas.

Last night everyone put all there present around the dumb thing I created and called a Christmas tree. I sat down in the corner away from them and huddled up in my blanket on the floor, leaning against the couch.

"Why don't you come over here?" Connor patted on the spot next to him on the couch.

"I'm okay right here, thanks." I closed my eyes and hid my head in the blanket.

I heard the throwing and unwrapping of present. They laughed, and I envisioned all their faces being so happy. I smiled to myself remembering one of them saying this is their first Christmas all together. They all  must be so happy being together. It must be great to be able to spend time with the people who care about you and love you. My thoughts were interrupted by something nudging me. I looked up, but looked back down when the light met my eyes.

"Too bright?" Sam asked and I nodded. After a few seconds he said I could look. I looked up and saw everyone starring at me.

"What did I do?" I asked scooting away a little.

"Nothing bad." Kian answered me.

"That's for you." Jc pointed at  all the little boxes on the floor.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"We couldn't not get you anything." Connor smiled at me.

"Open it!" Trevor squealed.

"But I-" I tried to argue, but Connor shushed me.

"It's too late now. So please open them." Jc pouted.
