*----*----*----*----*----*----*

It was a few weeks away from Christmas and everything was covered in a blanket of snow, Christmas lights decorated houses up and down the streets, snowmen lined front yards and the air was crisp and cold.

Not everyone was in the Christmas spirit.

This would be the first year I would be away from my brother and two sisters.

I was not excited to spend it with out them.

About half a year ago I got placed in a different home then my siblings and I haven't seen them since.

I was placed in to a small family, the usual mom, dad and a son. The son was also in foster care, so we both understood each other and how hard it was to be separated from our families. I was separated 3 years ago, when i was 14. My mother was a drunk and my father abused me. Great huh?

"Skylerrrrrrr.." Jason whined pushing my shoulder "stop day dreaming!"

Huh? I was day dreaming? I looked around and realized I was sitting in the attic, my bedroom, watching a movie with Jason curled up in the blankets with him.

I have a weird relationship with my foster brother. Sue me.

I shrugged at Jason and pushed his shoulder back "make me!"

Jason raised an eyebrow at me, his eyebrow barely visible under his black hair "now do you really want me to do that?"

Narrowing my eyes I hissed "Make. Me." as I jumped out from under the blankets.

Quickly Jason had me pinned down under him with a smirk across his face. "What'd you say?" he laughs giving me one more chance.

"I said make me!!!" I yelled at him sitting up resting on my elbows, with my hair messy and in my face already.

Jason's fingers wiggled along my sides, jabbing me and squeezing me in turns. I couldn't control my laughter and soon was out of breath "Jason stop!!" I heaved trying to get free, but he didn't listen and only continued.

"What do you say?!" He laughed enjoying my pain.

"Please?!" I begged through uncontrollable laughs "this is a form of torture!!" I squeaked covering my mouth

"Torture you say?" Jason asked as he removes his fingers from my sides. He now hovered above me with a puzzled look on his face "now. Do I want to torture you?.. Or no?" His infamous smirk grew across his face again.

I wasted no time and tried to wiggle free from under him. Being smaller then him I got free and jumped away from him, landing off the bed with a thump. His face dropped into a pout as he looked down where I was "this is no fun.." He mumbled collapsing down on the bed. With all the blankets on my bed he sunk down, and looked a part of the bed that had a Jason imprint on it. His pale skin was all I could see against my black bedding.

Wow. I have a lot of black stuff.

Jason still laid face down on my bed, and a smirk now grew across my face. Trying to hold back giggles I crawled back on to my bed and sat on Jason's back "my seat now!" I giggled as he moaned in pain from under me. "Oh what? Am I too heavy?!" I laughed

"Yah! You're fat!" His yell was muffled through the blankets and I acted hurt

"Oh Jason! How could you say such a thing!" I giggled wiggling around on his back

"Get your bony ass off me!"

"Say I'm not fat!"

"You fat cow!" He hissed. I gasped and hit the back of his head and he whined "that hurrtttt!"

"You hurt my feelings!" 

"So?!"

"So... That's mean" I give up, with a sigh, not finding an answer quick enough. 

Jason gave one last struggle before I got off of him, but not without giving his hair a quick tousle with my hand. His icy blue eyes shot up at me, with daggers. I shot a smile right back at him.

"Shh shh.. This is my favorite part!" Jason cooed, once again under the blankets, his feet towards me, and his head at the end of the bed. I looked up at the screen, and realized what movie was playing, it was Tangled. I looked down at Jason

"thought you said you've never watched this before?"

"Okay.. I might of lied." he admitted turning his head to look at me

"how many times have you seen it?" I asked laughing slightly "2 times?" He shook his head. "5?" He continued to shake his head. "10?!"

"Higher."

"20?!" I gasped.

"Around there" he chuckled, sitting up and turning to me. "I told you I had no life before you came around. Guess how many times I've watched Lion King." His lips were twitched up in to a smile and he looked at me with wide eyes.

"You really like movies, dont you?" I asked adjusting where I was sitting, I caught a glimps of myself in my mirror and gasped as I started to work at fixing my hair.

Jason rolled his eyes at me and my obsession with my hair. "I like movies because they help me forget my own problems, you know? Do you watch movies much? I mean before you moved here?" He asked reaching for one of my thousands of pillows on my bed, he threw the pillow and it hit me in the side of the head. Instantly I whipped my head to him.

"No." I turned back to the mirror and sighed.

He just had to mess it up again.

"Don't you dare start with the one word answers. You know I hate those"

"Good."

"Skyler, please."

"No."

"Please?! I'm begging."

I sat there, eye to eye with Jason and thought for a moment "Nope." I hissed sticking out my tongue at him.

"But Kyler!" He whined using a name he knew I hated.

I stuck my tongue out again, not saying a word to him and turned back to my mirror.

Stupid Jason.

Stupid pillows.

Stupid hair.

"I know you're calling everything stupid, But do I really have to be at the top of the list?" he sat there with a pouty lip

Whoops, did I say that out loud?

"Uh.. I'm sorr-"

"Sky! There's someone at the door for you." My foster parent Jennie called from the bottom of my stairs.

Someone at the door for me?

Huh..

Jason and I looked at each other puzzled. As I slowly got off my bed and walked towards my bedroom door. Jason was instantly behind me.

We both were surprised that I had a visitor.

Soon I reached the front door with Jason right behind me.

"Who do you think it is?" I whispered to Jason, wide eyed.

"I don't know.. Just open the door. If you don't. I will." He laughed pushing me towards the door.

I fiddled with the doorknob and finally got the door open.

"Hi are you Skyler?" He person standing in the dark asked.

I slowly nodded as he stepped into the light and showed who he was.

Tall with dark brown hair, pale skin and clear brown eyes, he wore black skinnies and a dark grey jacket.

"Who are you?" I gasped, as he stepped closer.

"Phoenix" He smiled
