Twenty-Five

The next morning I woke up to the sun beaming through the windows. We had stayed the night as Noah's parents house. Last night we stayed up making cookies, singing carols, and watching Christmas movies. I slipped out of the bed I was in and made my way to the kitchen. There was Mrs. Castle making breakfast with Fizzy sitting on the island.

"Good morning," Fizzy had said. Mrs. castle turned around and smiled when she saw me. "Merry Christmas! How did you sleep?" I gave Mrs. castle a hug and took some bacon from a plate.

"Good, I feel better than I did yesterday. I think it's time to let Harry go," I told her. She nodded her head. "Well, I start planning our New Years Eve Spectacular today. You should help me! You can also invite anyone you want," I nodded my head. I hear my phone go off and I take it out of my pocket. I had received a message from Niall saying 'Merry Christmas.' I hadn't spoken to him since the day my parents divorced.

"I actually have a couple people I would like to invite!" I start hearing more people come down the stairs. "I guess we should start opening presents, huh?" Fizzy said with a laugh.

A couple hours later we were eating and admiring our gifts that we had received from one another. Louis loved the gift card I gave him. Noah had given Louis a promise ring, might I add that Mrs. Castle and Louis both cried. I received a new sketch book and a cute bag to tote all my office supplies around with me. Each of the girls were given either makeup, jewelry, or gift cards.

Mrs. Castle and I started making a list of everyone to invite to the New Years Party. Louis had the great idea to invite his entire family. "I think I am going to step away for a moment. I need to make a call," I announce. I go into the other room and call Niall.

He answers immediately, "Merry Christmas! You didn't answer my text," I laughed. "Well I got busy and thought calling would be better. Merry Christmas!"

"How is the parents situation?" He asks me. "I'm not sure, I've only really talked to my sister." "You should talk to your mom. I know when my parents went through a divorce it tore my mom apart."

"I'll give it some thought. Listen, I have this New Years Party that I would love you to come too. You could meet my friends! You can even bring Isabella."

"That sounds great, that gives me an idea," Niall gets quieter. "I could propose to her. She thought I would do it today but that will be perfect." I couldn't help but smile. "That sounds perfect Niall! I will make it perfect and all you have to do is come."

Minuets after us discussing the engagement Niall hung up saying Isabella was getting frustrated thinking he was cheating. I went back to where everyone was. "Who has you smiling?" Noah spoke up. "A friend, you all will meet him at the party."

"A guy friend?" Georgia says wiggling her eyebrows. "He has a girlfriend and is planning on proposing to her on New Years!" I exclaim, then I explain to Ms. Castle about my idea.

Just as fast as Louis sisters were here they were gone. The day after Christmas we took them to the airport and promised to see each other New Years Eve for the party. Georgia made me promise to text her everyday. Then we went back to our apartment. "Louis and I are going to go on a date," Noah told me as I was watching my show. "Okay, bring me back something." I told him. They each hugged me bye and then left.

A couple hours later I hear a knock on the door. When I answer it I see Gemma. "Hey, my brother told me what happened." Is the first thing she says.

"I don't want to talk about it, he broke my heart." Gemma nodded her head clearly understanding,"Even though my brother screwed you over, you are my friend no matter what. Can I come in please?" I move out of the door way and allow her in. The apartment was somewhat a mess due to the fact Christmas was a couple days ago and instead of cleaning up we have been relaxing.

"How was your Christmas? Did you hear from your mom at all?" Gemma asks me taking a seat on the love seat. "Christmas was pretty good. My mom called but I ignored the call. I don't really want to speak with her at the moment." I explain to Gemma, "I understand. I do think that eventually you need to talk to your mom though." "Why? She didn't tell me when my dad and her were getting divorced, she always treats me like shit and she does not care about my goals life."

"Maybe that is something you need to talk to her about. Tell her how you feel, even if she does not agree with what you tell her it will make you feel better." Even though I knew Gemma was going full on therapist on me I knew she had a point. She was right, I needed to talk to my mom.

The rest of the time Gemma was here we watched a movie and talked about the cute guys in the movie. "I should set you up with a friend of mine," I tell her suddenly. "Is he cute?" Gemma asked getting excited. "Absolutely! You two would get along great. I will set you guys up and invite you both to the New Years Eve party." Gemma begins laughing, "You are to much at times!" I could not help but wonder if this would last forever. Me setting my friends up on dates and being single the rest of my life. Even though I knew I would meet plenty of guys, none of them would be Harry. I needed to move on from him, or at least try.

"Would you set me up on a date that night as well?" I blurt out to Gemma. There was no going back now.
