Ok so what I said about it being the best Christmas ever still stands but it did go a but wrong. We were all watching the film before Tris interrupted. "Can anyone else smell burning?" Tris asked. We all looked at Brad. "Shit, the turkey!" He ran into the kitchen. We watched as smoke drifted out. Connor was laughing so hard he almost fell out his chair. "I'll go help him." James said as he got up. Connor was still crying with laughter. Tris rolled his eyes at him before Turning up the TV to block out Con. He didn't stop laughing for about another 10 minutes. Every time I looked at him I tried so hard not to laugh. I failed I was laughing hard. James walked back in. "Ok bad news Brads burnt the turkey good news everything else cooked nicely." James told us."So looks like we're all having a veggie Christmas dinner, no difference for me." He winked. If I'm honest I didn't really mind I've sort of always wanted to be vegetarian so here's my chance to see what Christmas dinner would be like. "I'm serving the food" Brad yelled from the kitchen. I followed the boys though into the kitchen we all sat at the table. The food looked so good. "Merry Christmas" We said to each other. I sat next to James. As James reached for the potatoes he kissed me on the cheek. Brad smirked, at this point I ad given up because he did something like that everytime we kissed or did something affectionate. "Bradley Will Simpson I just kissed my girlfriend what is so funny about that now you eat that broccoli." James said in a jokey annoyed way. "Oooo burn." Con said from his seat. James shot him an unimpressed look and Connor immediately shut up. "Sprouts anyone?" Tristan asked.

After lunch we all slumped into the sofa,full and tired. "Man I'm stuffed"  Connor said from the corner. The fire was on making me warm. I lay down on the sofa, James sat next too me. I watched everyone it was like sleeping dominoes. I was in silent hysterics trying not to wake anyone. Con fell asleep then Brad, then Tris before James drifted off. I grabbed a couple of blankets and covered them all to keep them warm. I scribbled a note saying taken Jesse out on a walk. I grabbed her lead. "Come on Jess." She wagged her tail before following me out the house. We walked down the streets. We came round the corner and I accidently hit into a girl. "Sorry I didn't realise you were there." I started walking off. "Oi you, sorry all you got to say." I turned round the girl was with another girl and a guy. "It was just an accident I didn't mean to hit you I apologised can't we just carry on it is Christmas." I turned round again and started walking away. I heard the sounds of footsteps following me. I stopped and turned round. All three of them were surrounding me. Jesse hid behind me. "Just cause you apologised makes it ok does it." "Hint it doesn't." She said before spitting at me. I walked around them back towards Brads. Then I felt a pain in the head. She'd punched me. I turned round. They pushed me against a wall before attacking me. I fell to the ground. I watched as they laughed whilst walking away. Then everything went black.
