Christmas.
A day filled with lights, family, presents and joy...
But either than Happy birthday Jesus, sometimes people forget the real reason of Christmas.
Hopefully today will be a good day.
I hop out of bed running out the door to the top of the stairs where I can see my whole family chillin downstairs eating breakfast.
My dad sees me from upstairs and he widely opens his eyes, "Oh," he says surprised, "Holls, you're up early."
I smile and my mom also starts talking," come downstairs, we made you breakfast."
"Okay let me just grab a sweater." I reply then walk back to my room grabbing the closest sweater I could find and also grab my phone.
I walk back downstairs and first to see my cousin, Maia.
Maia is Reece's older sister - she's 23 and she goes to a university in New York, so I don't see her often
"Hey Holly!"
"Maia!" I say greeting her with a hug
"Merry Christmas cuz!" She smiles, "oh and I got you something," she says then heads to the kitchen counter, I follow her and she whips out her present
"I know its not much, but at least you'll love it." She says showing me the big size chocolate
"What do you mean its not much, I love it." I thank her and take the chocolate.
We got to the rest of the family, seeing the usual family when its Christmas like my Grandparents, aunts and cousins, I love everyone and it seems like today is going to be a good day.
I end up by the kitchen with my my mother, opening some presents since there was quite a few, my mom was watching me open them while she was making herself some coffee
"I hate all these presents," I confess to my mom
My mom scoffs, "no come on now holly, don't say that. Look you got chocolate, makeup from Charlotte, Adidas from your friend Alissa and I gave you cash. What could you possibly want?"
I want Justin.
"You want Justin?" My mom says raising an eyebrow.
What is wrong with me and thinking out loud?
"I just miss him a little, okay?".
"Why?" She asks with a very confused expression on her face
"You don't understand." I shake my head
"Yeah I really don't understand why you were so obsessed with him or something."
"I wasn't obsessed with him mom, I was in love with him."
She paused to think, "Really?"
I nod, "yeah mom, and I don't know maybe I still am."
She stays quiet giving me a look that I couldn't read on her face
"He came by like 3 days ago." She says
I raise an eyebrow, "Justin?"
She nods," What why?" I ask
"He just came to 'sincerely apologize' and check if you were okay but you were out with your new friend Charlie. So I told him that. He looked really bummed but he left a Christmas present for you, I wasn't going to give it to you at all but then I think he would find out."
I widen my eyes "Why didn't you tell me he was here? Where is it? Have you opened it?" I ask without breathing
"I didn't tell you because I thought you hated him a little and you were so over him."
