"WOO! FINALLY! FINALS WEEK IS OVER!" Shae cheered.

"I'll drink to that," Brielle raised her cup.

All of them were on the rooftop of their dorm celebrating.

"This year is moving by fast." Emma commented.

"Thank god for that," Shae replied.

"I need this winter break so badly," Daniella sighed.

"Ugh, I need time away from all of you," Rachel groaned, but cracked a small smile.

"I can't believe this semester is over already," Sarah shook her head.

"Just one more left to go," Jillian smiled.

"In four months we'll be graduating already!" Shae exclaimed.

"I'm glad we don't have to move on to new professors honestly," Sarah said.

"Me too, I love my history professor," Shae agreed.

"Yeah, it's great they all teach second level," Rachel added.

"I've been looking forward to this break since the year started," Jillian said.

"Me too," Shae replied.

"Are we all going home?" Daniella asked.

"Well, I'm definitely not staying on this campus," Rachel responded.

"Yeah, it's Xmas, we all have families to get back to," Shae said.

"We got to party hard this holiday break," Brielle declared.

"We're definitely having a New Years party," Sarah insisted.

"Yeah, we can all meet at my apartment," Jillian offered.

"I'm so down," Shae agreed.

"But, for now we leave in peace!" Emma announced.

"Absolutely. Au Revoir, everyone," Daniella grinned.

Everyone traded hugs.

"See you all next year!" Shae exclaimed.

"Darren?" Jillian came home to their apartment.

"Hey!" Darren smiled and hugged her tightly. "It's the end of our first semester!"

"I know! How great is that?"

"I'm so proud of us both."

"I am, too." Jillian kissed him. "Are you ready for the break?"

"Am I ready to finally relax and spend more time with you? Absolutely."

"It's our first Xmas together."

"The first of many."

"I'm so happy to be done for a while."

"How do you want to celebrate?"

Jillian smiled up at him. "Take off your clothes and I'll show you."

Darren bit his lip and took Jillian's hand.
She laughed as he lead her to their bedroom.

"Sirius?"

"Mmm."

Jillian woke to find herself still safe and secure in Darren's arms.
He gently placed kisses on her neck and shoulder.
