I'm sorry, dear, but work has been piling up more and more everyday, so-

"You won't be home?" You mumbled into the phone, eyes focused on the (colour) material of your bed sheets.

Yes, that's right. But I won't be home for Christmas as well.

Her words paralysed you, eyes flickering straight forward as you sat their shocked. Unbelievable.

I know that it's unfair, and we had a lot of things prepared, but I just can't make it with all this work in the way.

"You've got to be kidding." Your eyes glanced to the tv, then to the tiny christmas tree that sat on your dresser, then back straightforward.

I'm so sorry, sweetie. Also, remember to call your dad, alright? Tell him to stay healthy, he'll never leave that office of his.

'You're one to talk.' You thought, eyes rolling.

Yes, Seiko, please send the papers up. I have to go now, honey, Merry Christmas! Call your father-

You ended the call before she could finish her sentence. Calling your father was the last thing you wanted to do, considering he was most likely flipping through mountains of paperwork. Your parents were similar, always sitting behind a desk. At least your mother found some time to relieve herself of all the work she had and actually spent it with you, unlike your dad. Did he expect your mum to fill in for all the parent duties?

The repeating of your ringtone snatched you out of your thoughts and you stared at the caller id. Dad.

Hello? Ahh, Good Morning. How've you been?

"This is proof that we never see each other, you have to ask me how I've been, even though you could just come home." Coldness seeped through your voice.

I know, but I've got no time. The Chairman wants these completed files in before tonight, I'm trying my best.

"Can't you just come home and do your work?"

I'd love to, but once I finish I've got a dinner to attend with some business partners.

"You make it sound so formal, all you do is just eat some fancy, expensive food and drink lots of wine. I've been to one of them, instead of discussing I hear glass clinking."

Stop being like this. You know how busy I am.

"I do, that explains the empty house. Oh, Mum says hi, I guess."

Oh, is she home?

"No, she's still working like she always does. She called me before you did. Can you believe that she won't be home for Christmas?! Guess it's just you and me then, dad."

She won't be? You heard him curse to the side, the receiver still catching his voice, I was hoping she would be.

"Yeah well she won't."

The thing is, the Chairman is holding a business trip that's compulsory, and it overlaps with Christmas.

"What?"

I was hoping your mother would be home so you wouldn't be alone. I'm departing to America in two days, we arrive back a week after Christmas.

You scoffed angrily, "So both my parents won't be home for Christmas, unbelievable."

Don't you have anyone to hang out with? Any friends, preferably girls?

"No, everyone's going on vacation, with their parents."

His sigh crackled through the phone, I have to go now, love you. Merry Christmas.

"Bye. Don't call until after Christmas, I'd like to at least have a good one."

Flopping back onto your bed, you sighed. Although it was far from your reach, maybe a miracle could happen in this lonely December.
