Chapter Sixty-Six: Christmas With The Dysfunctional Family

"Violet wake up it's Christmas!" Jacob exclaimed and threw a pillow at me.

"I'm up!" I shouted and fell out of bed.

"And nana is coming over!"

"Wait is Oliver, Greg, and Piper coming over!?" I asked while putting my robe on.

"No they're with their family honey." Jacob chuckled and walked out the bedroom with me.

"Invite them then!"

"But then Aunt Ava, Aunt Maria, Uncle Sebastian and Zoe will be here."

"I don't care! Just invite them!" I exclaimed and hugged Gerard as he was eating cereal at the breakfast table.

"Merry Christmas Gee." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Merry Christmas princess, you're in a good mood."

"That's because it's Christmas you dork."

Suddenly Poppy started barking, I rush to him to see Frank and Mikey was trying to put a Santa hat on him.

"Guys what the hell!"

"Hi...Merry Christmas?" They said in unison and let Poppy go.

He dashed away and jumped on my legs signaling for me to pick him up. I picked him up and he almost immediately fell asleep.

"My poor doggo."

"He's okay sugar." Frank snickered as I protectively hugged Poppy.

"Nana is here!" Jacob shouted.

I dropped Poppy and dashed to the living room to see nana holding bags and shivering in her wintercoat.

"Nana it's like sixty degrees out and not even snowing, why do you have a coat on?" I asked while helping her bring the bags into the dining room.

"You're young, I'm old and have thin skin so sixty is like thirty to me." She chuckled weakly.

"I'll turn the heater on just take that coat off!"

"Fine, fine." She huffed and took her coat off hanging it on the chair.

"Violet!" A soft childish voice shouted.

I turned around to see Piper escaping from Aunt Maria's grasp.

"Come back here you brat!" Aunt Maria shouted but Piper ignored her and jumped into my arms.

"Hi!" She exclaimed.

"Hello Piper." I smiled and played with her hair.

"Where's Gerard?" She asked with a toothy grin.

"He should be in there." I said and pointed towards the living room.

She wiggled out my arms and ran to the living room. I sighed about to go in the bedroom to get ready but Greg and Oliver walked through the door.

"Ooh Violet did you sleep in?" Greg teased.

"Shut up I've been awake for thirty minutes and I'm so confused." I replied getting a bit dizzy from all the movement.

"Go get ready we'll be...somewhere." Oliver replied and pushed Greg into the living room.

I chuckled softly and sneaked into my bedroom. I slipped on a pair of ripped up blue jeans, a black shirt, a green and blue oversized flannel, and dark red combat boots. I slipped into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, hair, and applied red lipstick on my lips and black eyeliner on my waterline.

"You done yet!?" Ray asked.

"I'm done children." I replied and left the bathroom.

I looked around to see the presents in the middle of the living room, except for Gerard's hamster of course and the food set on the kitchen counters.
