Chapter 39 - Christmas Eve

*HALEY'S POV*

As the days went on slowly, I felt as if Carter and I were drifting further apart. It was Christmas Eve today and Carter had left to his grandmas house up north for a couple of days.

I didn't feel as bad as I thought I would about Carter not being around. I guess things just weren't working out like id hoped they would and I could tell Carter felt the same way.

I sigh, flopping down onto my bed, phone in hand as I scroll Instagram carelessly. I hadn't broken up with Carter yet and I didn't want to on Christmas either. I planned on talking to him about it when he gets back. Although I'm not in the best situation right now, I can hold it off till he gets back.

The guilt was also eating me alive because I had somehow forgotten to tell my parents about Carter and it was too late now. Of course, Jake and Stacey knew, but they wouldn't mention it to my parents unless they were sure I'd told them.

Ultimately, I was just stressed out. I knew that I had feelings for Dylan, and when I thought about it, I had feelings for carter too, they just weren't the same.

I pace around my room, hopelessly tugging at my hair. It was Christmas Eve. I should be relaxing and spending time with my family but instead I was worrying about boys. Boys, of all things.

I run my hands over my face, massaging my temples dramatically. I sigh and open my bedroom door quickly, I step out and head into the bathroom to wash my face.

"Haley! What'd you get me for Christmas?" Stacey asks happily, the curiosity burning brightly in her eyes.

I smile down at her, ruffling her hair affectionately before shaking my head. "I can't tell you! It'll ruin the surprise"

"Haley, please!" she practically begs and I laugh, shaking my head once again causing Stacey to pout.

I was still stressed out but being around my family was making me feel a lot better. I was a little more relaxed than I was earlier and I was grateful that we were all together for Christmas Eve.

I had a lot to look forward to.

A/N omg it's been sooo long! But I do have a legitimate reason for not updating. I've been really busy lately with school and exams and assignments because it's report writing and all of that and I have extra-curriculum activities (basketball and music) so it's hard to find time to write and update. I did start writing this chapter a while back though and I added onto it gradually as well as edit it to make it better quality. Thank you all so so much for the support, it means so much :) and please bare with me for the next few weeks. On another note, if you enjoyed this chapter please show me by COMMENTING/SHARING/FOLLOWING and most importantly VOTING <3
