Life As A Teasdale

Ch.153

It's Christmas Eve and I'm excited to spend the holidays with my family. Harry has texted me but I've made sure he doesn't call. I can't stand to hear his voice without probably crying. It was only two days ago I saw him and had that talk. He gave me gifts which I opened. He's very sweet, there are a few that say to open on Christmas so I will.

"Morning" My dad said as I walked down the stairs.

"Morning"

I grabbed a glass and made coffee. I looked at the clock and sat down.

"This came for you in the mail" He handed me a package and I looked at it.

"From who?"

"I don't know"

He handed me a knife and I opened it. I looked inside and closed it. I knew exactly who it was from.

"What time is that dinner at?"

"6"

"Okay I'll be home before then I have to run somewhere"

I went upstairs and got ready. I took the package with me. Stephen sent me the sweetest gift and I texted him to ask if I could come over. I'm glad he said I could because I need to see him.

I arrived at his place and knocked on the door. He opened it and I hugged him.

"Ellie you look so nice"

"How have you been?"

"I've been well" He pulled off his hat and I saw his hair was gone.

"You look good" I grabbed his arm and he pulled me inside.

"I feel great actually"

"That's wonderful" I smiled and we went to his living room.

"Are you going to your parents tomorrow?"

"Yes. What are you doing tonight?"

"I have to go to my parents Christmas party they are throwing"

"Oh that will be fun"

"I was trying to get Stella to come with me but she is visiting her grandmother"

"Oh damn. How is she anyways?"

"She's good"

"Phoebe?"

"I haven't talked to her in a while.. Long story"

He nodded and I looked at him. So many memories come back when I sit and talk with him. He's gone through so much.

"Why are you trying to get her to go anyways?" He chuckled.

"Well everyone is bringing a date"

"I thought you were dating someone? Wasn't he the one?"

"We broke up.. It's okay though we still are very close"

"Oh I'm sorry, you looked really in love"

"I was" I mumbled under my breath.

"You don't have to but would you want to go?" I asked and his eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Of course I will come" He smiled and I did too.

"Oh yay"

"Do I wear something certain?"

"I think everyone is dressing up but you don't need to wear a suit"

"You can wear what you usually wear, nice jeans, converse, and a white button down with a tie" I laughed.
