A Letter a Day (Sequel to Broken but Mended)

Christmas Part 1

Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand

But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan

I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?

'Cause you're all I need

This ain't love, it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?

No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control

And deep down I know that this never works

But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me?

'Cause you're all I need

This ain't love, it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

My voice echoed in the bathroom as I sang in the shower. It's Christmas morning, and I feel bad because I didn't get anything for any of my friends, but I wasn't going to participate in any Christmas activites, so it really doesn't matter.

The water is as cold as ice, but I don't mind. I'm like that girl from that one movie with all the singing about frozen stuff, the cold never bothered me anyway. Hazel told me that I need to take a warm shower since it's freezing outside, but I didn't listen. I'm like a total bad ass or something, not listening to my younger sisters warning.

I hate this stupid holiday. I lost a good hour and a half of sleep, because Hazel got up at 7 a.m and jumped on my bed shouting, "Nico it's Christmas! Santa came last night! Oh I just can't wait to give you your present!" I replied with, "As long as the present is from you and not this pedophile who you call Santa, I will except it." Hazel wouldn't let me go back to bed, she told me to go take a quick shower, which turned into a shower that I have been taking for at least an hour now.

I got out and put on my boxers, then my black sweat pants, then a grey t-shirt, and finally my aviator jacket. I didn't bother doing anything with my hair, I just stuck my hands in my pockets and trudged outside. I walked up to the dining pavilion, where I could hear people laughing and having fun. Ew. I know Hazel will tell me to get something to eat, so I grab an orange and start picking at it. I look around for a minute before seeing Percy, he looks at me and smiles. I walk over to him only to say hello to Hazel before I start walking off.

"Nico wait! Aren't you going to stay with us and have a nice Christmas morning?" Percy says, he sounds so happy that it makes me want to throw up.

"No, I would rather be alone on this terrible holiday." I replied.

"Well jeez Neeks, who pissed in your cherios this morning?" Percy asks, and grin making its was onto his lips. I glare at him.

"Don't call me Neeks, only he was aloud to call me that. And I don't eat cherios, I prefer fruity pebels." I said before turning around and walking off.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go, but eventually I just went down to the beach.

As I sat in the sand with my socks and shoes sitting on the ground next to me, I began to get lost in my thoughts. Percy knew that he was the only person aloud to call me Neeks, but he still called me by the stupid nickname. I almost feel like he is just trying to piss me off. I really wish that I could spend today with him, but he's gone, he always will be.

I felt a few tears run down my face. He could be here. He could be here right next to me, laughing about some stupid joke he made. I shut my eyes as I started to picture a Christmas with him here. I still can't remember his smile. I try to picture us sitting together in Bunker 9, me laughing at something stupid, and him laughing to. But I can't. I can't remember anything about his smile, except that I absolutely love it.

I tug at me hair as I try to remember, but after I go three minutes without anything coming into my mind, I sigh loudly and give up.

I look out at the water, there are no waves, nothing is moving, it's calm. I kind of wish that I could be the water right now. Calm, relaxed. I let out another sigh.

"Beautiful isn't it?"
