EDITED
Paige's pov-
I wake up the next morning feeling a wetness on my pillow. I lift my head up slowly, and see my pillow is soaking wet. Did I really cry all night? I sigh, and get up to face the wrath of my parents.

"Good Morning sweetheart." Mom chirps walking up to me placing a small kiss on my cheek. I look over to dad, and furrow my eyebrows at him. He knows what's happening, and he's going to tell me.

"You're awards should arrive today." Dad says putting down his phone to look at me. My eyes probably lit up in excitement, and I jump up and down.

"Oh Paige!" Mom exclaims and I turn towards her. " We need to talk." She smiles.

I feel a frown grow on my face, and I go to sit in the living room to watch t.v.. "So Nick left, and we'll talk now." Mom says still with a smile on her face.

How is this a smiling matter? "Whatever he told you isn't true." I say looking deeply into mom's eyes.

"So you didn't relapse? Mom asks me tapping her foot.

"No." I smirk.

"Pull up your sleeves." Mom commands.

My eyes grow huge, and I repeatedly shake my head no. Mom's eyes grow with tears, "You did, didn't you?" She mumbles pulling me into a hug.

"Mistakes happen." I whisper hugging her back.

Mom and I ended up spending the whole night together not bringing up last nights mess. We both promised each other to not bring it up.

Mom is now 4 months pregnant, and you can really see the baby bump. It's actually super cute knowing a new life is growing inside of my mom. Dad and mom cause a raucous every night, and I usually end up going over to Tina's, and spend the night. I always text my parents as I leave even if they won't bother looking at their messages while their, urm... Messing around.

"We're going baby clothes shopping today come on Paige." Dad shouts from the basement where he's currently working on his second album. I run down the stairs, and out the door to get in the front seat. I feel the chill of the December air hit my face. This is the coldest it's ever been since I've moved to L.A..

Mom is currently at an interview with Ryan Seacrest, so dad and I are going shopping. We're giving mom the baby clothes for Christmas, and in all honesty I think that's a dumb present, but whatever.

Christmas is next week, and I haven't told my parents, or family members, and friends what I want for Christmas because I don't want anything. I'm spending most of my time in my room mourning the one year anniversary of my baby sisters death. I'm kind of mourning dad's too, but he was never home before my parents divorced, and I never talked to him once they did divorce.

It's Christmas Eve, and exactly one year since Paisley, and my dad has died. We're suppose to go to Dianna's, but mom doesn't think she'll be stable once she walks in the house.

I sigh, and wrap my scarf around my neck, and walk outside. I'm walking our neighbors dog in the middle of December. Fun. But whenever I help them out with stuff they promise they'll donate $100 to mom's charity.

I walk down the streets, and see some kids my age trashing a house's Christmas decorations. "Hey!" I shout causing the kids to turn around and face me. "Stop being assholes, and go to sleep, so you can wake up to presents from Santa." I exclaim sounding sarcastic and gushy.

"Fuck off old lady." One boy shouts.

I throw the kid a middle finger causing a bunch of, "oooos." To escape the lips of the other boys. God do I hate the holiday season.
