A few weeks later

It's finally Christmas Eve tomorrow and I cant wait. My house is already decorated festive for the holiday season. My family loves Christmas, except Kyle because he likes Halloween. My mom was downstairs cooking dinner while I was in my room doing homework. It was only me and my mom home because my brother and dad left to my nana and paps house in Yucca Valley  while me and my mom are leaving tonight. It's actually Friday night and winter break just started, everyone thinks Friday nights are for parties and going out but I'm a nerd freak and would actually have pleasure staying in doing homework or reading a book. My old friend Marcus texted me which is weird since I haven't spoken to him since freshman year. He wants to know how I'm doing and if I'm free tonight, I had to say I'm busy because I am and even if I wasn't I wouldn't want to go out with a person I barely even knew. Yes I found him attractive but that was before and now I totally forgot about him since tonight "HONEY DINNER IS READY HURRY DOWN" my mom yells from downstairs. I put on my slippers and go downstairs to see my favorite, Ravioli. I grab the forks and cups, I sit down while my mom finishes serving herself "thank you momma" I say and look down at my food "hold hands" mom says extending her hand for mine which I gladly take to start grace. We talk about our days and what we are doing tomorrow and on Christmas, she tells me about the gifts she got everyone except mine of course. I got my mom, dad, Kyle, nana and papas gift. It's small and simple but it's still something nice. I still don't work but I'm also looking for a job. I really want to work at see's candy, somewhere quite but then there's Hollister or a restaurant. Somewhere we're they pay high. I also tell my mom about the jobs and how I'm helping Rachel for the winter dance. Once we finish we head to our rooms to start packing to go on our way to the ranch . It doesn't take me long since I already know what I want to wear for tomorrow and Christmas. It's been a really long day and all I want to do is sleep in the car. Once I'm done and checking over everything Rachel decides to call me "hey girly" I smile "Livy, I don't want to do this anymore" she sobs on the phone which makes me drop my bag and get really worried "hey babe what's up" I ask "my mom got upset over Tristen because he's a different race from me and I can't go out with him anymore so we got in a fight and she told me she doesn't want to see me tomorrow or in Christmas because supposedly I ruined her holidays and broke her heart for dating a black guy, are you serious, he's just a guy like everyone else" she cries harder while I just sit in my bed about to cry for my bestfriend "do you maybe want to come celebrate Christmas with my family in Yucca valley " I ask getting ready to ask my mom for permission "can I?" She ask "of course,  I'll just ask my mom but I'm not going to leave you alone on Christmas" I say "thank you, actually thank you, you have no idea how much I love you and how much you help me and your always there for me when I need you the most" she cries "Rachel you know I'm always going to be here, so let's not talk about that anymore and start packing, I'll be there in 10" I smile "okay bye" she says "bye and hurry cause we're leaving in about an hour" I hang up and go to my moms room to ask her. I knock on the door and see her sitting on her bed putting her socks away "hey momma, can I ask you something?" I ask sitting down "yeah, what's up" she says looking at me "um I know I should've asked you before but Rachel just called me saying that her and her mom got  in a fight because Rachel's dating Tristen, do you remember him from the football team, he was always inviting me and Rachel to parties" I say "oh yeah I know him" she remembers "well yeah Rachel is dating him and her mom doesn't like the idea so she told Rachel that she doesn't want to see her tomorrow or on Christmas, so I told her that she can spend it with us" I say looking at her for anything reaction "I mean it's always fine with me if Rachel hangs out with us, but I need to talk to her mom, because I mean not wanting to celebrate the birth of Jesus with your family because of one little thing" she says looking at me "I know but right now Rachel is getting ready so I can pick her up" I say helping her fold her clothes "that's good that you were there for her when she needed you but we can't take her away with us without her mom knowing, that's basically kidnapping" she smiles "I know and thank you" I go and hug her then walk  back to my room while she calls Rachel's mom. I text Rachel that my mom is calling her mom just to let her know. I finish getting everything ready and just lay on my bed watching videos on my computer.
