twenty nine - merry make up

—————

"so, are you guys gonna work things out?"

stassie and i are currently drinking wine in the kitchen.

it's christmas day and our families are out of town since we already had a family dinner last night, so we're just relaxing today.

"i'm not sure.. he seems hesitant. which i understand."

"you should feel that way too. he cheated on you first."

"i know. but i just want to move past it. i know i should hate him, but i cheated too."

"one time. he continuously hooked up with ashley."
stassie told me in a more serious tone.

"yeah i know.."

"girl i'm not trying to make you sad. i just want you to be open to the perspective you aren't seeing. i love you so much and i don't want him to hurt you again."

"i know stassie."

"you're finally starting to be happy again, don't take steps back."

"you're completely right. which is why if we do work it out, i want to move on from this."

"do what you think is best for you."

"i'm trying."

"speaking of this topic, has rook tried texting you?"

"no.. thankfully. i don't really want him too. he's respecting my space."

"that's good then. i wonder if him and colson are good?"

"i think they are."
just as i finished that sentence, the door bell rang.

"i'll get it."
setting my glass on the counter, i told stassie.

as i approached the front door i heard casie's voice outside.

"why didn't you use the key dad?"

my heart broke a bit hearing her words.

shaking my thoughts, i opened the door.

colson and casie are stood outside, and colson is holding a big box.

there are holes on the side of it and i give him a slightly confused look.

"hey, merry christmas."
i smile letting them in.

we walk into the living room where stassie is sitting and i begin to grab their gifts from under the tree.

"here casie. merry christmas."
handing her a small present i hug her.

"ooo! what is it?"
she smiles looking at me.

"why don't you open it and see?"

quickly, she tears away the wrapping paper.

"no way!"
she smiles widely.

"oh damn, a gold necklace with your name on it?"
colson's eyes widen when he sees the jewelry.

"thank you amanda! i love it!"
she engulfs me into a giant hug.

"yay! i'm so glad you like it!"

she hands me the necklace and i place it around her neck, clasping it for her.

"it's so pretty, it's like yours."
she points at the one around my neck.

mine says 'mandi' and hers says 'casie'.

we're twins now.

"okay, and this one is for you."
i give colson a box.

he looks at me unsure and begins to open it.
