Me and Bryce started texted every day about everything and anything
It became the highlights of my day but what he said to me back at the diner kept running through my head
Bryce wanted to be with me? Even after everything that happened. Did I want to be with him?
He still made butterflies roam in my stomach everytime we talk or text and I know I still like him and I dont know maybe even more but being someone's girlfriend means being vulnerable and am I really ready for that.
"Hey Jess" kenzie says as she walks into my house. It was Christmas eve and she has always come over my house on Christmas eve to exchange presents, been a tradition since we were little.
"Hey kenz are you exciteddd" I got her the best present ever, concert tickets to her favorite band NF and I know she could never top it
"Of course I am excited, I got you an amazing present"
"Oh trust me mine is better"
"Well see about that"
I hand her over mine and she exchanges it with hers
"1. 2. 3. Open!" We say at the same time and when I open it I see a sketchbook with sketching pencils
"Kenzie!!! I love it"
"NF!!??! Oh my God I can't believe it! Three tickets?" She said right after
"You, me, and kyle"
"I love it! Thank you" she goes in for a hug and I hug her back "and I reaaaallly love my sketchbook! Seriously it means alot"
"I noticed you going to ms. Amoris's class alot and thought you would like to bring it home"
"Well thank you I love it"
"I'm glad you do, movie?"
"Definitely tangled" I reply
"Oooh yes" she says as she jumps on the couch
I sit next to her and being tangled up on the TV
"Sooo" she starts
"Yes?"
"What's going on in your head about tomorrow"
I sigh knowing shes talking about Christmas with Bryce but I dont know what I'm thinking
"I think itll be fine"
"Have you figured out how you feel about him?" She asks and I shake my head
"Hes awesome and I really..."
"Love him" She finishes my sentence
"I dont know..maybe..do you think we would be good together?"
"Jess I really really do. I love how you are when you're with him and even though he hurt you you both have changed so much. Just give it a chance"
"Okay" I said in response "I will"
We watched tangled until she had to go home and i fell asleep nervous for tomorrow
_-_-_
The whole time during Christmas morning my stomach was in a knot. I had been with him and mel before so why was this different?
Okay I knew why if was different. I'd be in front of his family, were they going to introduce me as makaylas friend or his...probably both
I took Matt's car and drove to makaylas house. The house was beautifully decorated with Christmas lights and I was in awe of how much Christmas spirit was radiating from the household.
