Bite the bullet

Part 4 - Christmas special

Me and Niall layed down on his bed like the night before.
Everyone had went home not so long ago.

"Clara?" Niall calmy said and turned to me.

"Yeah?" I asked and looked at him.

"Do you remember that time we spent christmas together?" He smiled.
I smiled to myself.

"Ofcourse I do.. You stil have that book I gave you?" I asked and chuckled.

"Yeah.. Wait.." He rolled of bed and walked to his drawer.
He digged around and then he pulled out the book.
He walked back to bed and opened the book.
I do remember the day I gave him that very special book..

FLASHBACK•

Claras POV:
The year was 2009 and christmas eve was around the corner.
Me and my family planned on going back to Sweden to celebrate with our relatives. But.. Not everything goes as your plan all the time..
This morning I woke up to a snow storm..
It was so much snow. My dad could barely get out with the car from the street.
So the trip got canceled..
I looked out the window and dad had stopped trying with the car..
I saw mum talking with Maura.
I guess this christmas will suck.. We barely have food home.. Maybe one old disgusting banana..

"Clara!" I heard mum yell downstairs.
I got up from bed and went downstairs.

"What's up?" I asked and stopped at the last step on the stairs.

"Changed plans! We're spending christmas at the Horan's!" Mum smiled and I was confused.

"What? Are'nt they having guests? I thought Niall's granny and cousins were coming.." I asked.

"There's no chance you can get here, even though we're in the same country.. Ireland is a total storm.." Mum said and sighed.

"So we're going to Nialls tomorrow??" I asked excited.

"Yeah! But we'll open the presents on the evening. It gets more simple that way.. " Mum smiled and took her coat amd snowy shoes of.
Christmas won't be so horribal after all.. I'm spending it with my bestfriend! Could it be better?!
And I'll also get the chance to give him his gift. I was going to give it when I came home from Sweden, but now I can give it on Christmas! Perfect! I can't wait to give it to him!

•Christmas day•

I woke up happily. It's Christmas!
I looked out the window, it was stil loads of snow but the storm was getting better.

"Time to wake up! We're having christmasbreakfast at the Horan's in 30 minutes!" Mum knocked on my door.
I fastly got up on my feet and changed to a pair of jeans and a white knitted sweater.
I brushed my hair into a ponytail and that was it.
I slipped on some socks before running downstairs.

"I'm ready!" I said happily and my family was all prepared themselves.

"Someones excited.." My sister Ella said and grinned. She always teased me, she said me and Niall was inlove and was going to end up with each other. But, she's wrong.. I'll proove it..
I just rolled my eyes and put on my outdoor clothes.
Me and my family walked over to Nialls house and Maura opened the door.

"Merry Christmas!" She smiled and let us in.

"Merry Christmas!" We said back and got into the warm house.
We took of our outdoor clothes and then I heard footsteps running down the stairs.
I saw a excited blonde coming towards me.

"Merry Christmas!" He smiled big enough to reveal his cute crooked teeth. He opened his arms.

"Merry Christmas Ni!" I smiled and hugged him.
Then Greg came from the kitchen and gave us all a hug and a "Merry Christmas".
