   Small white snowflakes are now falling from the sky and sticking to the ground - a sure sign that Christmas is almost here. Snow is such a beautiful thing. It seems to cover up anything that isn't beautiful and makes it a fresh canvas for children and adults to express their creativity. God, I love winter.

Colton dragged me to the mall today to go Christmas shopping with him, which I'm fine with but, not with Colton. He is the worst person to go shopping with for so many reasons.

"Ooo, this is super cute." He said, holding up a black sweater with grey thread stitched all throughout, giving it a cookies and cream vibe.

"Colton. We're shopping for mom and dad, not for you." I groaned, looking at my nails. They were slightly chipping. Damn, I need a manicure soon.

"Not for me, for Shawn." My eyes shot up. Shawn. Shit.

"Shit. I didn't even think about getting him a present. " I mumbled to myself.

"I think you should get him something supeeerr cute." He said, winking in my direction. "After all, you two are gonna end up together - probably by the end of tonight!" Together? By the end of the night? I fucking wish.

"Yeah, haha. Like that's gonna happen." I mumbled as I started flipping though the sweaters on the rack next to me. Damn. Shawn would look hot in these...

"What are you talking about? Aren't you going to confess your feelings to him tonight?" Colton clung the sweater to his chest as if I was about to tell him the worst news of his life. His lip was slightly pouted and I wanted to laugh at how stupid he looked.

"Yeah, no. He has a girlfriend now." I continued walking down the small isle way, looking for cute sweaters to buy for everyone.

"No he doesn't. " He said simply, loosening his grip on the cookies and cream colored sweater.

"He doesn't? Mae told me that he had one. And there was a picture of him and this girl online, and-"

"Did she have blond hair?" He interrupted me. I nodded my head, some of my hair falling in front of my face.

"That was some fan who won a meet and greet with him. Not his girlfriend, ya moron." He started laughing hysterically. Like, bent over, everyone's attention on us kind of laughing.

"Wanna tone it down?" I questioned, a small smile appearing on my face.

"Sorry, but-shit. That was funny." He grabbed another sweater off the rack and held it up.

"Cute?" He questioned. I smacked the sweater out of his hand, causing him to bring his hands to his chest with a hurt look.

"Shawn's single?" The small smile on my face from before slowly grew into a bigger one. Colton nodded slowly, afraid I was going to do something else to hurt his feelings.

"Yes. That's what not having a girlfriend means." He stated simply, picking up the sweater from before and placing it on his arm, walking away from me.

Holy shit. Shawn's single. Single. And he's coming home. Tonight. Holy shit. Fuck. I need help.

I grabbed my phone from my back pocked and opened up messenger before tapping on the most recent messages.

"That'll do it." I said to myself. As if on Que, Mae called thirty seconds later.
