It was Christmas eve, 4:30pm.and jonah had been staring at me on and off for about 20 minutes now. "Babe what's up?" He looks at me and furrows his eyebrows whilst cocking his head to the left a little. He stands up and holds out his hand. I take it hesitantly. He races up stairs dragging me with him and starts pulling sheets off his bed and putting up poles made from old broom and mop handles before climbing onto his bed with his laptop, pillows and loads of snacks. He arranges them all tidily before hanging string lights between the poles. He gets off the bed and throws a huge comforter at me. "Would you do the honours?" He smiles at me. I pick up the comforter and carefully balanced it across the poles.
We crawled inside and he started up his laptop. We lay there for hours watching films. A Christmas Carol, home alone, the polar express and then he puts on my two favorite, the nightmare before Christmas and elf! He constantly kisses me on the cheek the whole night. I don't want to say anything incase it ruins Christmas, but he seems worried, almost as if he's scared of losing me. I throw a marshmallow at his head and his mom brings up another hot chocolate for us each. We've had about 4 already but they're sooo good! So we don't stop her.
Jonah looks up at me when elf finishes and smiles. "I have a present for you, it's small but I think you'll like it and your main present comes tomorrow" "Ooh samesies" I whisper shout and he laughs, pecking my forehead. I hand him a small box and it has two bracelets inside.

"You always said you wanted matching bracelets or necklaces so I thought I'd get us some. " I peck him on the cheek.
"This is why I love you" he hugs me and pulls away leaning behind him. He hands me a bear. "This is wes. I've had him since I was born. I figured that because I was going on tour in February, if you can't come because of school and my hoodies aren't enough, you could hug him and hopefully it will feel like hugging me..." I teared up at the sentiment and eventually started crying. He held me and traced shapes on my back. I took off my skinny jeans so I was in just his hoodie and he put on a pair of tight grey sweatpants. We went to sleep in the fort. "I love you jonah marais Roth frantzich" I twirl his hair round my finger and he looks at me. "Shhhh. We have to sleep or santa won't come" I laugh. Still a child. I kiss his shoulder before hugging him and falling asleep in his arms.
