Me and Sam walked into our apartment complex carrying our suitcases and our other bags. I went to unlock the door but it was already unlocked. I looked at Sam with my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I opened the door but all of the lights were off like how we left it. I know no one else has a key to our apartment except for Paisley. I turned on the lights as Paisley and Christian popped up, spraying us with silly string and confetti. 

"Oh my god." I said in awe. There was a big "Welcome Home" sign along with balloons and 3 boxes of pizza laying on the table. I sat my bags down as Paisley and Christian ran up to me and Sam, pulling us into a hug. 

"We missed you guys!" Paisley said. 

"It was so boring without you two." Christian said. 

"I missed you guys too." Me and Sam said in unison. We all sat at the table eating pizza, drinking soda, and talking about everything we missed at college, drama during the tour, everything over the past couple months. Christmas eve was tomorrow and I still didn't have any presents for anyone, which meant tomorrow I'd have to go out for last minute presents for Sam, Paisley and Christian and maybe Colson and Rook again.

The next day, I got dressed into leggings and a hoodie with uggs before walking downstairs to my jeep, driving to the closest mall. Of course because it was Christmas Eve, all of the stores were closing early so I had to make this quick, which is hard for me. I could shop for hours and not find anything. 

After about two to three hours of looking around the whole mall, I finally found a couple things for each of my friends plus Colson and Rook. The only problem was getting them into my apartment without Sam, Paisley, or Christian seeing any of their presents before I wrap them. We didn't even have a Christmas tree up or any Christmas decorations up which made it feel less like Christmas, but Paisley and Christian had theirs up so we could have Christmas in one of their apartments. 

I walked into mine and Sam's apartment when Paisley came out of nowhere asking me what was in the bags. 

"Stuff." I replied, trying not to give it away that it was her present along with everyone else's. 

"Oh. So what's the plans for tomorrow? Are we gonna chill here, my place or Christians?" She asked. I shrugged. 

"It's up to you guys. I was thinking probably yours or Christian's since we don't have anything Christmassy up." I replied. She nodded. 

"My place it is. Christians' place is a whole mess and we all know he's too lazy to clean." I laughed. 

"True, but I'll be right back." I said. I walked to my room, grabbed my wrapping paper, and tried to wrap everything as fast I could without making it look like a 5 year old did it, which I failed at.
