Sometimes at a point of time, we need to face problems from the people we don't know.
I'm Neely Jones from Florida Orlando and I'd recently moved to Austin Texas, where I need to live with people I don't know.
And my aggressive Step-brother and his...
I sent him a text, Merry Christmas with a heart emoji. I hope it brought a smile to his face. I'm not expecting a reply from him anyway. I know this is just a small thing but sure it will remind him that he's in my thoughts.
I wish things were different, I wish I can spend this Christmas with him. I don't want him to be alone, I hope he spends his time with Luis.
I closed my eyes and imagined how we could spend our time together if he's really here for Christmas. I blushed at my thoughts, maybe next time I said in my head. I smiled at my phone, before closing my eyes to sleep I looked at Erin's profile picture on WhatsApp.
"Cute!" I whispered trying to control my smile.
It is a black and white picture, but it is soo good. I wish I can see him right now. I kept my phone aside and closed my eyes.

It's Christmas!
Everyone called me this morning wishing me Merry Christmas. Mom, Rachel, Tori, Shane, Colin, even Luis almost everyone except Erin. But that's okay, as my dad said he needs some time.
I kept myself busy helping my grandma in the kitchen and we had a small Christmas party with our neighbours in the evening. I wore a black colour dress that I brought when I went shopping with Rachel and Tori. It is a cute strap dress not too long. And of course black suits my complexion.

The evening party was followed by Christmas dinner, Barbara joined us. We had a feast, not just dinner, everything tasted too good and I really enjoyed it. My head is still filled with Erin thoughts, I kept imaging his reaction if he was here.
It was a lovely day, I feel exhausted at the end of the day. Everyone left into their rooms, when I'm about to go upstairs I noticed something on the Christmas tree in our living room. I went close and I found a gift package under the tree with my name on the name card, but with no details who's it from.
"Interesting!" I mumbled looking at the gift. I picked it up and walked into my room. It can't be anyone in our house, they all presented their gifts in the morning so it is by someone else. It can't be Barbara, she told me that she will take me out shopping tomorrow and I can buy anything I want as her Christmas gift.
"Then who's gift is this?" I wondered as I slump over my bed.
I opened the gift and was surprised to see a small jewellery box. I opened the box and found a simple chain in it with a small pendant. It is so cute, I love chains. But whoo? I stared at it for a while, it looked costly. It must be platinum and the stone in the pendant looks like a diamond.
I know everyone in my circle are rich except Rachel and Tori.
Shane?
How can he do that? I mean it's not possible. He's in Texas and I'm in Florida, there is no chance for him to come over here and place a gift box under our Christmas tree, without meeting me. It sounds unbelievable. If he's really here he won't go back without meeting me, that's for sure.
