Alaska's Pov

"Guys I think it's time to goto bed." I slowly sat up a rubbed my eyes.

"Has the film finished?"

"It finished a while ago love,you can go to bed or stay here for the night."

"Can we just stay here thatway we won't have to wake up Aaron."

"Alright love, well i'll seeyou tomorrow." She kissed my forehead then headed upstairs. Aaronrolled over and woke up. "Did the film end?"

"Yeah, we're gonna sleep heretonight so you can go back to sleep."

"Okay, you don't mind if Isleep in just my bottoms do you?"

"It's fine." Aaron sat upand pulled off his pyjama top then lay back down next to me. "Nightynightmares."

I chuckled, "nightynightmares."

I lay awake staring at theceiling, listening to Aaron breathing. I was going to miss him whenwe went our separate ways.

*

I was awoken by Aaron ticklingme. "St-stop it." I giggled.

"Knew it would wake you up."

I sat up and looked at Aaron,"Merry Christmas Noodles."

"Merry Christmas." We bothleaned forwards maintaining eye contact.

"Merry Christmas guys, whatwould you like for breakfast?" Mom asked as she walked into theliving room. We jumped apart and Aaron stood up. Way to ruin amoment.

It was soon boxing day and Aaronstood by the front door. "See ya soon alright, you'll have to crashat my place, oh and thanks for the Ouija Board and films I lovethem."

"You're welcome Noodles."

Aaron pulled me into a tighthug. "Right I best be off, thanks for a great Christmas." I heldopen the front door and watched Aaron climb into the cab. I keptwaving until the cab was a small dot.

"You'll see him soon Justin."

"I'm gonna miss him he's sofun to be with and he's really funny I really liked hanging out."

"I know you did now let's gosnack on the left over turkey from yesterday, well I can you cansnack on the veggies, I still don't understand why you'revegatarian." I followed Nana into the kitchen and we kept pickingat the leftover food. "Look here Justin the wishing bone." Shehooked her small finger around it and held it out to me. I hooked mylittle finger around the other side and pulled, it snapped and I hadthe bigger half. "Make a wish dear."

I closed my eyes and whisperedto myself: I wish I see Sharon again soon I looked up at Nanawho was alright picking at the turkey again. "Aren't you going toask what I wished for?"

"No that's bad luck."

I always found boxing day such aweird day, all you did was eat leftover food, watch TV and chill out.Nana was eating the left over food and mom was watching TV I headedupstairs to chill out and text Sharon.
