"Please, I'm sorry"

Fixing Things (1)

**RYE'S POV**

That's it. I knew what I had to do. The one thing Trish wanted the most was to spend Christmas with Theo and Melissa. Theo didn't like me so when he heard me and Trish were back together he didn't like it at all. They slowly lost contact.

I sat on my bed and repeatedly called Theo. He didn't answer the first couple of times but I kept on trying. I wanted to make things up to Trish. And this is the best way I can think of.

**THEO'S POV**

As I tucked Melissa into bed, my phone rang. Repeatedly. I looked to see Rye's number so I ignored it. Whatever he's done now, I don't wanna hear it. He annoys me so fucking much with it. He fucked things up the most by what he did to Trish. He's gotta do something magical for me to ever forgive him.

"Goodnight Melissa" I said, kissing her forehead and walking to the door.
"Goodnight daddy" she said, smiling brightly and pulling the blanket over her.
I walked out of her room, closing her door ever so slightly, and went downstairs to finish wrapping presents for her. Christmas was in two days and I still hadn't finished.

I was halfway through the presents when my phone rang. Rye, again...
"What do you want?" I answered
"Hello to you too. What I want exactly is you and Melissa" he replied.
"Me and Melissa?" I questioned, confused to the strange question.
"Yes. You're gonna be T's Christmas presents. I already got her stuff but I wanted to do something extra and better for her. She misses you both a lot. Please?" He said.
I thought about it for a second. Maybe Rye is actually a nice person. Maybe he isn't a complete asshole.
"Please Theo. I'll pay for all the expenses of you coming. Pleaseeee. It's all she ever thinks about, seeing you and Melissa on Christmas..." he said, interrupting my thinking.
"Okay. I'll come down on Christmas Day. I'm gonna spend tomorrow shopping for gifts with Melissa." I replied.
"Oh my gosh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank youuu! You are amazing. I'll text you the address to our house. See you on Christmas" he said. I could sense he was smiling a lot.

I hung up the phone and carried on wrapping what was left of Melissa's presents. I hid them all in the cupboard and went to bed. Christmas Day will be fun

***NEXT DAY***

I woke up to Melissa jumping on my bed, all excited for Christmas. I told her what we was doing and she her face lit up even more. She quickly raced to her room and got dressed. I did the same and we left.

"Daddy?" Melissa asked.
"Yes darling" I said as I pulled up to the shopping place.
"Can we get me, you and Auntie Trish something matching?" She said with the most cute and brightest smile.
"Yes of course we can, sweetie" I replied, getting Melissa out of her car seat.
"Oh and we also need to get uncle Ry Ry something" She said in the most innocent way.
I nodded and walked into the shopping centre, holding Melissa's hand.

After going into almost every shop, we were done. All we had to do now was go home and wrap them.

After a little bit of thought and seeing how happy it makes Melissa, I can't wait until tomorrow.

***TRISH'S POV***

The house was crowded as everyone's family's came to visit. Jack's were over from Ireland and was staying in a hotel close by. Rye's parents were staying in the guest bedroom whilst the twins slept in Rye's room. Andy went to go stay with his mum and is coming back later on Christmas Day. And Mikey's mum was on her way down.

My dad and Jorja's mum are in India and my mum was too busy with her new husband and his family. I'm not complaining though because I have Rye's parents here. His mum treats me like I'm her own and his dad is so nice.

I laid on Brook's bed with my ear phones in, scrolling through Instagram when Brook decided to come and join me.
"Hey Trish" He said jumping next to me.
"Hey Brook, hows everything downstairs?" I asked, taking my earphones out.
"It's crazy. Sammie and Shaun are on the Xbox.  Mikey's waiting on his mum still. Jack's out with his mum. Rye's cooking with his" he said, letting out a weak laugh at the end.
"Nice" I said nodding my head, trying to act interested but I wasn't. I just wanted to go back to listening to some music.

"Trish..?" Brook asked.
"Yeah..?" I replied.
"Don't you feel a bit... you know.. odd, left out, lonely?" He said.
"Why?"
"Well you aren't spending Christmas with your family.. it must feel pretty lonely..."
"Mhmm. It does but I have you lot. You're my family..."
I could sense him smiling as I looked at my phone.

Later I went downstairs and joined everybody to watch a film. I felt awkward, like I stood out. Rye's mum was including me and chatting to me but I still felt out of place. I did feel quite distant until Jorja came but I still felt misplaced.

I left for a bit to get all my presents from the attic and put them under the tree. I just hope I feel better tomorrow. I don't wanna be in a mood for Christmas...
