What a sudden question...

        I was full of anxiety, surprised by the question. He was so blatant and I was just sort of surprised. Who would have interest in me?

        I pulled my phone out and checked the time. 12:30. 

        30 minutes into Christmas and Keath hadn't even bothered to call me. He didn't leave any cute holiday email or voice mail. He didn't even send a damn text. But this didn't matter when I realized something else. 

No one had told me anything.

        Nobody called. Nobody voice mailed or emailed or texted. Nobody had told me Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays . I suddenly felt completely empty.

        Brushed off. While everyone spent time with their family and friends celebrating, I was being brushed off. It had been like this for a few years. I was used to it. I had never felt anything for this day.

        But why, out of all the christmas', does this day feel so awful.

        Maybe it was the sudden realization that everybody gave up on me. Nobody cared about me anymore. I was alone.

        And that's when the tears came in.

        I kept my back to the wall, staring at my blank phone. Soft tears created even more anger as I began crying.

        Nothing felt shittier than being alone on this day. I was never a crier, more of an ignorer. But this was way too much to ignore. It was overwhelming and I felt myself completely fall apart.

        I let out a sob and heard the door fling open, making me scramble to wipe the weakness of my face. 

        Next thing I knew I was crying into his chest.

****

Sorry so short. Just a quick filler. 

Merry Christmas :*
