After The Rain✔️

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

We were off for Christmas break and I really wanted to give the guys something special including Raven. I know I didn't know him that well, but it was something I wanted to do. I enlisted Trish's help with it.

After I picked out an item for everyone, I paid and took them back to my house. I spent time wrapping each item for everyone. I had Trish deliver Robbie and Raven's gift since I couldn't.

She walked up and rang their doorbell carrying the packages. Robbie answered it.

"Trish?"

"Here these are from Molly. Merry Christmas," she said, handing them the gifts. Then she left. He closed the door and his mom met him, "Who was at the door?"

"Trish, she delivered gifts from Molly," he said.

His dad and Raven walked into the room and he handed them all the gifts. They opened them and his mom sat down on the couch, staring at her.

"I can't believe this. Why would she do something so nice for us?"

"Wait, there's a note," Robbie said as he opened it.

Dear Mr. And Mrs. Knight,

Please accept these gifts as a way of me saying I'm not angry at you or your family. While I can't discuss the case or have any contact with you, I want you to know I am okay. Sometimes we have to forgive the people not for them, but for ourselves. I am offering my forgiveness as part of your Christmas gift for any wrong doings that your family has caused me. Please accept my forgiveness.

Molly

PS family is important, even if they aren't blood.

Robbie's parents looked at Robbie and he said, "And this is why I care about her."

With that, he went up to his room.

I knocked on Braydon's door and he answered it.

"Molly?"

"Here, this is for you. Merry Christmas Braydon," I said, handing him a gift and walking away.

He closed the door and opened the gift. As he stared at it a note dropped to the ground.

Braydon,

I know we didn't exactly start off as friends, but you have turned into one of my best friends. You may come off as this tough guy, but I know deep down you are a big marshmallow when it comes to people you care about. I know material things don't mean anything but I hope this gift I gave you, means more.

Thank you for being my friend

Molly

He pulled out a leather friendship bracelet and promptly put it on. He ran his fingers over it and smiled.

I knocked on a door and Hunter answered.

"Molly, what do I owe this honor?"

"Here, this is for you. Merry Christmas Hunter," I said as I handed him a gift and walked away.

He closed the door and opened the gift to an antique paint set in a wooden box along with a note.

Hunter,

I thought these would come in handy when you paint. Your notes and drawings lifted me up when I was down and helped when I sorely needed them. You can make the ugliest thing beautiful and you made me feel beautiful even when I didn't feel like it. Thank you for the wonderful picture. I have cherished and kept everything you left in my locker. You are one of my best friends.
