Zach's POV

I wake up (in the morning feeling like P-Ditty.) from Reese jumping up and down in my bed.

"Reese what are you doing!" I smacked her with a pillow and she she fell down.

"Get up get up! It's Christmas!!" She screams.

"5 more minutes." I mumble.

"Fine. One, two, three, four, five." Reese counted. "Okay it's been five minutes!"

"Reese, that was five seconds. Please just... just go wake up someone else up. Like Ryan or Mom." I whine

"But they can't sing me Christmas music." She whines back.

I groan and get up and Reese jumps up and down, in excitement.

"Just give me a few minutes, hobwake everyone else." I tell her and she nods.

I check my phone and I have 6 messages. One from Reed, one from each band member and one from  Thea.

I immediately open Thea's message.

Lil  Owl🦉 -
Ooh! What is it? A owl?😂

I laughed a little and messaged her back.

To lil Owl🦉-
Let's meet later and I'll give it to you!

I ignore my other messages and go downstairs with my guitar.

"What took you so long?" Reese yelled.

"Reese, chill." I laughed and went into the living room.

"Morning Zachary." My mom smiled and handed me some coffee.

I greeted my family and we opened presents and all that cool stuff.

~later that day~

I got text from Thea, asking me to meet her outside.

I obviously take this chance to give her present. I run out of my room, not before I check my hair first. I run downstairs and out the door, earning weird looks from my family. I obviously didn't care, so I kept going.

"Hey Zachary!" Thea yelled when she aw me.

"Hey Althea!" I smirked.

"Don't call me that! I hate my fill name!" She whined.

"Sorry." I laughed.

"Okay! Okay! I want to give you your present!" Thea yelled, jumping up and down.

"You got me something?" I asked. "But we just met yesterday!"

"Yeah I stole something from my dad but yeah." She smiled.

"Oh so now your a criminal now?" I laughed.

"Yes, but a smooth criminal." She smirked.

"Annie are you okay? Are you okay Annie?!" I started to sing with a laugh.

"You've been hit by, you've been struck by
A smooth criminal." The finished, handing me my present.

I open the neatly wrapped present and smiled. It was a guitar pick and a beanie.

"I love this!" I laughed. I looked at the gray hat and put it on.

"That looks really good one you." She smirked.

"Is that flirting?" I thought but shook it off, handing Thea an envelope.

"What's this?" She laughed opening the envelope.

"You'll see." I whisper.

I watched her face turn into a surprised expression.

"Oh my god! Zach?" She yelled. I smiled as she pulled her airplane ticket to LA.

"Your kidding!" She yelled.

"No! Your coming back to LA with me for a week, obviously if it's okay with your family!" I smiled.

" Zach, I don't know what to say!" She squealed.

I smiled and we hugged. I guess I got caught up in the moment because I began to lean in to Kiss her. But apparently she was feeling it to, because she leaned in to. We kissed and it was like fireworks.

She backed away first and we smiled at each other.

"You can't tell anyone, anyone!" She laughed and she thanked me again and ran inside.
