change your ticket

"You should probably stay, probably stay, a couple more days
Come on let me change your ticket home."

Christmas came and went, and sadly my time with my family was all of a sudden coming to a halt. Three more days is all I have left with them, then from there would only be a phonecall a month, and an occasional birthday card.

To say I got spoiled this year was an understatement. I never ask for stuff for Christmas usually, so no one knows what to get me. My whole family usually gives me a bunch of shit, mostly money from my brothers and a few small things, but my dad's love to spoil me.

Louis got me a 50 dollar Barnes and Noble card, and El got me some makeup. She isn't here yet, but she will be tomorrow.

Zayn bought me some expensive art supplies, and a thirty dollar gift card to ubran outfitters. He also gave me a card that he painted for me that was my favorite gift he gave me, because it was the most meaningful.

Liam gave me albums from all of my favorite artists which brought a small tear to my eyes because music is literally my life. He also gave me a 20 dollar gift card for iTunes.

Niall gave me the best gift anyone could ever give me. I literally cried for so long. I was quite embarrassed honestly because all of my family was filming it.

Everyone finished all of their gift opening, and all that was left was a giant rectangular box that stood at a few feet tall.

It was delicatly wrapped in silver sparkling wrapping paper. It was lined with black ribbon. I traced my fingers over the paper just guessing what treasures were hidden inside.

"Are you going to sit there touching it or are you going to open it already?" Niall asks me with a raised eyebrow.

"Sh Niall I'm trying to guess what it is." I say looking over at him.

"You're not going to guess." He says to me with a serious face.

"If you keep talking to me it'll take a long longer." I say.

"Fine take your time." He laughs.

After staring at the box in anticipation for a little longer I slowly unwrap the box slowly getting more and more excited every moment.

I open it to reveal a plain brown box. Niall mouths for me to open it. I open the two flaps at the top of the box, and peer inside. It reveals a guitar case I look up at Niall with a wide smile and fly into his arms.

"Take out the guitar." He says to me releasing me from our hug. I pick up the guitar from the box, and set it on my lap. Niall for some reason takes out his phone and starts to film me.

I open the clips fastly, and slowly open the case. It reveals a shiny guitar with writing on the bottom. Once I examine the writing I gasp in surprise, and happy tears spring into my eyes. It's a signed guitar from Ed Sheeran.

"What the fuck Niall how did you get this?"  I yell with a few tears streaming down my face. It may seem silly that I'm crying, but Ed Sheeran is literally my whole life.

"I have my resources." He says with a laugh.

"Thank you so much Niall." I say with exasperation.
