Bailey's POV

So my cousin has left, we spent his last day together out and we went to this fancy restaurant for a meal before he went to the airport, God I miss him already! And guess what! Lena is going to Scotland today so I'm going to the airport to say goodbye and of course Andy's coming too.

I could barely stand the morning after that night and my ass! I couldn't even sit down it was that sore! Like who does that to someone!

Anyway, Andy is driving me to the airport so I can say goodbye to Lena, Lena said goodbye to Chase last night but he'll be in the background somewhere.

"So are you going to miss Lena?" Andy asked.
I glared at him "what sort of question is that! Of course I am! But it's only until January she'll be back for the New Years party we're planing!"
Andy nodded and pulled up to the airport. I found Lena standing there looking miserable beside her family.
"Please don't make me go!" She groaned "like break my ankle or something I don't want to go to Scotland!"

I sighed. Ben looked at me before saying "do you know who the fuck Andy or Chase is!" He growled.
"Yeah, Andy is our English teacher who's helping Lena and I with a project and Chase is my brother." I lied.
"Your brother?" He asked "if that's so why does he keep texting my sister asking to meet up?"
"Oh they're partners in physics." I lied again.
"Really?" Ben asked.
"Yeah they have to meet up to study together and trust me, Chase really needs a study partner he doesn't even know how to spell forgot!" I said.

Ben nodded before glaring at his sister as he turned to speak with the adults.
Lena hugged me "thanks."
"No problem, you better bring me something back for doing that!" I joked.
"Are you sure your okay, it's your first Christmas without your uncle, without any family. I don't want to leave you." Lena said.
My stomach turned, I've convinced myself that it's all okay but it's not, it's really not. Everyone that I love gets hurt, they get hurt and they die!
I put on a fake smile before sighing "I'll be fine Lena, trust me. Plus I've got Andy to bang me through the night."
Lena growled. She's still mad about that. Wow.
Lena looked over at Chase who was standing close to the door. She mouthed 'I love you' and he done it back then she was whisked off to board a plane.

I turned to Andy, this was really going to be a long Christmas.

Christmas Day rolled around quicker than expected, as did the wave of depression. I had been staying Andy's, I just felt empty though. There was something missing, and I didn't know how to fix it.

I was curled into Andy, I didn't want to wake up but he had to get up the dick. We're going to his mom's house. God isn't this gonna be awkward. I'm going to have to explain everything because Juliet can't keep her flaps shut.

"Wake up its Christmas." He whispered, I groaned I didn't want to get up. But I did so anyway. I stayed up most of the night trying to keep Andy's gift quiet. I couldn't leave it anyway so when Andy fell asleep I sat up and waited.
I got up and went to brush my teeth, Andy followed behind me like a lost sheep.

After I had done that I turned and hugged Andy, and whispered in his ear "close your eyes."
He frowned slightly but did so anyway, I led him downstairs instructing him where to go. Once we stepped into the living room, I found his present rolling around in tinsel. I sighed and picked him up.
"Hold out your arms." I instructed.
Andy did so and i placed the puppy in his arms.
He gasped and opened up his eyes to stare down at the puppy.
