After finally meeting your bother’s new girl, Ariana, you opened up to her quick. She was a bit older than you, by five years, but you connected like best friends when sharing the interest of Broadway and musicals. Your bother had to practically pull you away from Ariana.

“Stop stealing my girlfriend. You can’t have her.” He frowned at you as he pulled you in the dark and quiet hallway beside the staircase. You smirked at him and fixed his bowtie that was crooked. “She’s perfect. Seriously. You picked good this time.” 

“Where’s your boyfriend?” He asked you, pushing your hands away.

“Don’t have one. Now, does she sing?”

“No, I don’t know,” he groaned frustrated at you. “Then who’s that Justin guy mom keeps talking about?" 

“Who?” You asked him.

“I don’t know. She keeps talking about some dude…”

“Speaking of dudes, my friends are coming over to visit after Christmas before New Years.” You smiled at him, which he rolled his eyes. “Okay? It’s not my problem because Ari and I are going to New York.”

“What!” You exclaimed now interested in the conversation. “Can I come?” 

“Hell no. It’s our first ever vacation with each other and I want to spend time with her by myself.” He said as he ran his fingers over his face. “You think dad would like her?”

“I don’t know, why would he care?” You rolled your eyes and started to walk away from your brother. Your brother knew that talking about dad was a touchy subject. He would always bring up the subject, but you would refuse to jump into the conversation. You never forgave your dad for leaving. 

“He’s still our dad Y/N.” Your brother sighed as he pulled you back towards him. “He still cares." 

You shook your head, folding your arms. “Then why can’t I see it?” You pouted. You had to hold back the tears that wanted to escape. Bryan didn’t say anything as he saw that you were about to cry. He pulled you in closer to him in a hug. You silently cried in his arms as he comforted you.

After a quiet Christmas with your mom and brother, it was finally time for Derek and Roxie to arrive at your house. Bryan and Ari already left for their trip to New York while you got ready to pick up Roxie and Derek from the airport.

“I’m coming with you.” Your mother announced as she walked out her room, slipping on her pea coat. You knew that she was only coming to see Derek. Smirking, you opened the door with your back turned from it, talking to your mom. “I know you’re only coming to see what Derek looks like.” She shrugged. 

You turned to walk out the door, but someone’s body collided with yours.

Looking up, you saw sweet tooth bae holding a bouquet of red roses in front of him, smiling. You started blushing but stopped when you remember that he was here for your mom. Speaking of your mom, she pushed you out of the way and gasped dramatically.

“These are beautiful!” She gushed. “Come in, I’ll put these in a vase.” They both smiled at each other as he let himself in. You frowned. “I’ll go by myself then.” You mumbled as you walked out the door and headed to the airport.

Once Roxie spotted you, she jumped with joy and ran towards you happily. “Y/N! It’s good to see you again girl.” She wore a red button down trench coat with a red hat and boots to match. You offered to help with her suitcase. As you both waited for Derek to depart from the plane, you asked her why she wasn’t in town for Christmas.
