Living with Kian Lawley

Chapter 12

Emily's pov:
College starts now in 15 days, Christmas in 6. I need to shop

*the next day*
I walk into PAC SUN where I'll hopefully find something for conner. I've already got a SnapBack for Jc, a Pikachu for Ricky, and Kian I got a beanie with his name printed on it and the 5sos album. But conner seems more difficult, I've known him for SOO long. We always have the tradition of getting each other ornaments but I think I'll get him a gift card to PAC SUN or Target.

I've gotten some things for Zoe, that I'll ship to her, and my brother. My mom and stepdad will get stuff too, even if I'm angry with them.

Christmas is muy dificil (very difficult)

Kian's pov:
I still have no clue what to get Emily for Christmas. I was so jerky to just lean into her, I mean I thought she liked me. And she said she wasn't ready.

What if I'm not ready?

But I'd have to be ready, I kissed her she didn't kiss me back.

I decided to get her a few gift cards since I know she wants to go on a shopping spree. One to PAC SUN, another to Forever21 since that's her favorite store. And I also just threw in a necklace that has a lightning bolt on it.

*4 days later*
Since Emily and Conner are leaving tomorrow morning for Minnesota (Conners house, only for Christmas) were opening presents tonight.

I really hope Emily likes it.

As we're driving to conner and Emily's house we listen to Christmas music, and wishbone is barking the entire way. Jc thought it would be fun for him to come, of course he did. As I pull up to their house, I notice a brilliant tree with silver lights and white ornaments. Conner loves his trees.

I knock exactly 3 times. And conner opens the door right away to reveal the ugliest Christmas sweater ever.

"You like?" Conner asks, while laughing and showcasing his sweater. We all laugh. "Emily is still in her room, but she's dressed so don't worry about going in there! But she's not really in the festive mood. She doesn't want to go back to Minnesota until things with her parents have cleared up. And she wants to see her brother."

So after the welcome into the house conner pulls out his gifts and says "put all gifts here under the tree, and I'll grab Emily."

Emily's pov:
"Hey, I love you. No don't say that. Of course I'll see you. Well if mom and your dad figure it out then yes you may meet me at the airport." Conner steps in. "David I'm sorry I have to go now. I will call you at the airport. Okay. Love you more. Bye."

"The boys are here. I helped you by putting your things under the tree."
I nod. I start checking myself in the mirror to make sure that 1) I don't look tired 2) my outfit is okay. And neither is, but I walk out anyway. Christmas, yay.

The first person I see is Kian, his beautiful brown hair growing back in. And then I see Jc and Ricky putting presents under the tree and smile.

"Long time em." Kian says. I detect the sadness in his tone. He won't give up.

"I've missed you" I tell him as I pull him into a hug, where I actually end up sobbing into him. " I. Don't. Want. To. Leave." I sob out. He pulls me in tighter. After what seems like a few minutes we break apart and I look into his eyes and see regret.

He walks me over to the couch and hands me his present. A smile comes upon her face as she sees the gift cards to her favorite stores.

"Thank you." She tells me.

"There's more," I say, and I pull the necklace out. At first she's stunned but after I put it on her...

She kissed me. It felt like it lasted for hours. "I think I was wrong, maybe I could use a boyfriend." Then she pulls out her gift to me, and I open it to see 1) the 5sos which is awesome and 2) a beanie with my name printed on it. I smile at her.

"So when's our first date?" I ask.
