First Deadly Christmas

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE PIECES OF-" I screamed as loud as my lungs would let me. My "parents" were sprinting to get away from me as I chased after them wielding a kitchen knife. I woke up at my parent's house and decided to have some fun. I laughed maniacally as they cornered themselves and looks back at me with terror on their eyes. "Finally" the words seeped through my teeth. "I will get you back for, everything, you've done to me!" They trembled in fear as I slowly walked towards them and tightened my grasp on the tool. "P-please don't   h-hurt us." My mother pleaded. I have an on an evil grin as she presses her body tighter on the wall trying to get as much space between us as possible. "Don't worry, Abby, this won't take long." My father intelligently decided to keep his mouth shut. I raised my fist ready to punch her right in the jaw when suddenly I was being shaken. I decided not to let this interfere so I raised my fist once more and swung with my eyes closed. I hit a jaw! I laughed in pleasure when I heard a familiar voice. "OW!" my eyes shot open and I was in my bed with Jake sitting on the side. "Hehehe... Whoops" I gave a 'my bad' smile when I saw him cradling his jaw.

"That's on you for waking me up when I was having a good dream." He hung his head. "That's right! Shame on you!" We laughed. "Y'know I came in here to wake you up like a little kid on Christmas, that didn't end up working out for me." My jaw dropped. I had totally forgotten. It was Christmas morning. "Hehe don't worry I got breakfast ready and the presents are under the tree." I snapped my mouth shut. "You didn't have to do this." He seemed to find that humorous, "And miss the chance to claim your first Christmas being with me? NEVER!" I laughed at his silliness. His face went blank. "Race you" was the last words I membered before we were sprinting down the hall trying to get the living room. We shoved each other back and to the wall into the paintings and light switches. I moved my foot to the side a bit and he tripped to the floor. I tried to use this advantage before he grabbed my ankle and started climbing up. I shook free and tripped onto the living room floor. We stayed on the floor for a good five-ten minute laughing our ass' off. Whenever we tried to get up we fell back on the carpet and that fueled the fire.

By the time we actually got to the food on the table, it was cold so we had to reheat them in the microwave. It was scrambled eggs, two pieces of toast, one buttered and one jammed, a bowl of yogurt with banana pieces, blueberry, and granola. It was impressive. We cracked jokes the whole breakfast and spit everywhere. The kitchen was a mess and we regretted nothing. We didn't bother cleaning it up so we just tossed our plates and glasses in the sink. We decided to save the present opening till later tonight so we could do something while the sun was out. We had a good 6 hours before the sun went down so we walked around the town first. "Hahahhahahaha" our voices laughed in unison. "That's pretty good! Your turn." He chimed. "Hmm lemme think." I began cracking up. "Cmon tell me!" Jake whined. "Why is Santa so jolly?" He put his fingers up to his chin and stroked it in thought. "I don't know. Why?" I refrained from laughing so I could get out the answer. "B-because he knows where all the naughty girls are." We laughed and laughed and laughed. It may not have been super funny, but the mood was too joyful and silly not to.

We were cut short when we heard a very familiar and, peppy, voice behind us. "JAKEYYY!" Becky screamed. He winced when he heard her voice. "Damnit" Jake whispered under his breath. "Holy fuck, I think I'm deaf now!" I said without taking notice of the barbie that crossed her arms in annoyance. "Leave." Her voices pipped. I snickered. "Whats so funny bitch?" She said through her teeth. "You should be afraid of me. I took a fighting class" at this point even Jake couldn't keep it in. We laughed and pointed to her face. "S-she t-took a HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA" she snapped her fingers and two guys from the football team popped out of the shadows. Eventually, we calmed down but couldn't stop snickering. "Hey! You two are from the football team? Right?" They kept straight faces. "Leave before you sleep on the sidewalk tonight." They snickered. I grinned. "You know, Jake, I was gonna be nice since its Christmas, but things happen ya know." He nodded his head and cracked his knuckles. "I know exactly what you mean." The boys winced at the sound but covered it up quickly. "I say we make this quick." I nodded in agreement. The four of us began circling the other two before jake and I threw a hit at each of them, knocking them out cold. When we looked up we could see the barbie sprinting as fast as she could in her platform heels.
