*Juliet's pov*

My sleep was peaceful.

I was comfortable in my little huddle of blankets, satisfied with the warmth.

Nothing about this moment could be more-

"JULIET, WAKE UP IT'S CHRISTMAS!" My sister shook me awake.

I opened my eyes and noticed it was still dark outside.

I grabbed my phone and checked the time.

Of course, it was 5am.

"Ashley can't we wait until, I don't know, noon?" I asked.

"No get up! I have a surprise for you." She smiled.

I groaned, and got out of bed. I followed her to the living room and I squealed.

There were so many presents underneath our Christmas tree.

"What the hell? Was this all mom or you?" I said.

"It was all mom. There's even presents for me." She smiled.

I turned on the TV, and Christmas music was playing.

I started a fire in the fireplace, which was underneath of the TV.

She handed me a present and I did the same.

"Ready?" She asked, I nodded.

It was just like we were kids.

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" We squealed, ripping and tearing up all the wrapping paper.

It was a cute sweater and Ashley got a Tiffany and Co. necklace.

Most of my gift were clothes, and so were Ashley's.

I never had a chance to use the camera Michelle got me so I went to go get it from my room, I snapped a photo of the tree, then I put it down.

It was down between the last two presents, mine was from Ashley and hers was from me.

"Ready?"

"Open it." I said.

She opened it, it was a cute shirt I got from Pac Sun a while ago.

"This is so cute! Thank you." She smiled.

"No problem." I returned her smile.

"Now open mine." She said.

I ripped the wrapping paper off.

It was a ticket to California.

"Ashley, no way." I smiled.

"It's for when you want to visit." She said. I hugged her and she hugged back.

It looked like the sun was rising, and I walked to the kitchen to make hot chocolate.

As I was waiting for my coffee maker to warm up, I walked into Matt's apartment and decided to wake Matt up.

I opened his door and started jumping on his bed.

"Matt wake up it's Christmas!" I kept repeating.

He was laughing, and then he threw a pillow at me.

"Alright Juliet.." He groaned Ashe got out of bed and I followed him.

We kept his presents under our tree and he opened them.

I got him a bucket hat because I feel like he'd be the kind of guy that would wear one. It was plain black.

"Thanks Juliet!" He smiled as he tried it on.
