Chapter Eight:Tis The Season

        The next morning I woke up at 9:30 in the morning. I heard banging coming from Pipers room so I went to find out what was happening. When I opened the door I found Piper with a suitcase getting ready to leave the house. 

        "Where are you going?"I asked

        "I'm visiting my family for the week. I'll be back on Friday" She said shoving other things into her bag. 

        "But that's the day after Christmas. Will I be spending Christmas alone?" I asked"No, you have a Nanny downstairs making you breakfast already. I'm sorry" she said giving me a hug and leaving me alone in her room. Tis the fucking season to be depressed. Christmas with someone I don't know is going to be great!

        "Don't forget to text me!" I heard Piper yell and the front door slam. I walked down stairs and an older woman with dark hair was making eggs. 

        "Hi I'm Gel" I said 

        "Good morning I'm Karen nice to meet you!" she smiled. She slid a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. In a wink I was finished so i put my dirty dishes in the sink.  

        "Thank you!" I said before I went upstairs. My phone was on the charger so I took it off and checked my messages.

from Jess:

9:00 | You saved my ass I love you. you are my fucking best friend. too bad I'm grounded for the rest of break:(kms text me back bae<3

from Sammy:       

8:00 | Thanks for coming last night! hope you had fun! we should hang out more Gel, you're gorgeous babe

from Jack: 

10:15 | I'm going to kill you and Matt if you drive by again 

          I responded to everyone except jacks since it was from so late last night. Sammy was really hot and sweet but I can't see myself being with him to be honest. I always picture myself with Matt but I care about Matt way too much to get into a situation where I can hurt him. Sadly Matt hasn't texted back yet. I hope he isn't too mad at me.

        I decided to reorganize my room. I changed everything around and made everything look so much neater. It took my three hours.While I was cleaning up the last draw I came across my box. I forgot about it. I just realized that all this time it wasn't on my dresser. I must have put it away and forgot about it. How can I forget about looking at my pictures. I studied the old and worn pictures 10 times over to make up for all the times I have neglected them. 

        The last time I spoke to my mom I had told her I hated her. I was only 6. She wouldn't let me go out to eat with her for my fathers birthday because it was too bad of a storm outside. It's almost as if she knew that she was going to get into a car accident. My mom passed away on impact but my dad had critical injuries to his chest. He had many heart surgeries after that day. His heart was never the same. He had a weak heart for a man only 40 years old. 

        Five years later ,on the fifth anniversary of my mother's passing, my father had a heart attack and because his heart was so weak he passed away. I found his body in his office. It's going to be ten years without Mom and five years without Dad in two weeks. I can't believe I almost forgot. Tears stung my eyes and the photos became blurry. 

        That's when my phone started to ring. At first I thought it was Piper but when I answered I realized it wasn't.

        "Gel? Is everything okay?" Matt's voice was muffled through the speaker of my phone. He must be able to tell I am crying since I am sniffling so much. 

        "Yeah I'm okay, I'm just a little emotional right now after watching a sad movie" I lied

        "Oh, okay well I think we should talk about some things so why don't we hangout today?" he asked

        "Sorry Matt I can't today how about tomorrow you can come over and help decorate my tree?" the thought of seeing Matt was already making me happier.

        "Yeah! That sounds great!" I could tell he was smiling "I'll pick you up around 3 tomorrow morning and we can go tree shopping"

        "Okie dokie" 

        "Text me because I'm bored home alone and I miss you even though I saw you last night"

        "Why don't you hangout with Jack?" I asked

        "He's working today" 

        "Aww I'm sorry Matt" I pouted

        "It's okay"

        "I'll text you because I miss you too" I said 

        "I'll be waiting for that text, bye jelly bean" I guess he thought of a new nickname.

        "Bye Matt " I said.

        "Bye Gel" he said making fun of me
