Christmas Spirit • MFZ JO [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty Two

Mackenzie's POV

"You ready?" Johnny asks.

It's time for our performance in front of the class. He has a guitar in hand and we're standing out in the hallway because we decided to do a last minute practice.

"Ya, you?" I ask.

He nods and smiled, opening up the door. We walk to the front of the class, John grabs the stool from the corner and pulls it up to the center. Taking a seat on it.

"What are you both performing?" Mrs. Ramos asks, looking up from her clipboard.

"All I want for Christmas is you and last Christmas," I say.

She nods and writes something down on her clipboard. She looks back up and smiled.

"Whenever you're ready," she smiled.

We nod and look at each other. Giving each other a reassuring look before turning to the class. When I hear Johnny start to strum his guitar I close my eyes for a moment.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you," I sang.

Johnny and I look at each other and smile weakly. Starting to get into it now.

"I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I, I just wanna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for St. Nick
I won't even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click
Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding onto me so tight
What more can I do
Oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of childrens'
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
The one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me, quickly
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Oh Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
All I want for Christmas is you, baby."

Johnny did his final strum and cover the strings from making anymore sound. I look over at my friends and see them smiling at me.

I smile weakly and turn back to Johnny. He gave me a look and starts to play the chords for the next song.

"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special," Johnny begins.

We both smile and pause for a moment so John could continue playing his chords.

"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it
Now, I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special."

John yet again does one last strum and covers the strings.

The class stood up and clapped for us. I could see our friends smiling at us. Definitely proud of us.

"Hey, I'm going to go find your brother, I need to talk to him," I told Lauren.

She nods and I get up from my seat and walk out to the hallway. Figuring he skipped class because, well that's a John thing.

As I roamed through the hallways I look around and see two people pressed up against some lockers.

I roll my eyes seeing them. Your typical high school couple. Making sure to show they're a couple by having PDA in the hallways whenever they find it convenient.

As I go to walk towards their direction, they stopped kissing. I look to see if I know them.

I look closely and see... no. It's Johnny and... Jojo Siwa.

No... it can't be.

I bit my lip and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. I can't believe I fell for him. I hate myself.

I see them walk away from each other and then I see Johnny walking in my direction. Unfortunately he noticed me and runs over.

"Hey what's wrong?" Johnny asks, placing his hands on my arms.

I get out of his grip and shake my head.

"Why do you care? I'm surprised you're even taking to me now, especially since the project is over," I say bitterly.

"What? Where's this coming from Mackenzie?" John asks.

"I saw you kiss Jojo, I'm not stupid. I should've known that you would've done something like this. I can't believe I fell for you," I say wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.

"No no no, Mackenzie it's not like that s-"

"Save it John. I don't want to hear it," I say.

I spin on my heel and run.

Here's the turning point guys.

What did you think? Did you think John actually change back to his old ways?

Anyhow I hope you enjoyed it.

Bye loves xoxo
