John POV
It has been two days since Alex and I got back. The school year is coming to an end as schools would close on the 19th for Christmas break.

We sat in Alexander and Lafayette's dorm, we were just talking about random shit and some school work too. "So, what's everyone doing for Christmas break?" Peggy asked finally getting Hercules and Alexander to stop arguing over pineapple on pizza.

"I'm just gonna spend it with my family." I say before yawning a bit, it's been a long day. "Laf and I are heading up to my families place for Christmas." Herc says as Lafayette kisses his cheek, "We're just with dad right?" Eliza asks Angie and Peggy nods, "I'm spending my first Christmas with my new family! I still can't believe I'm getting a little sister." Alex says excitedly, Peggy sighs, "And I still can't believe this is our first Christmas without you!" she yells pulling him into a hug.

"Yeah, I'm gonna miss you guys this Christmas..." Alex says hugging back, Angelica and Eliza join in for a group hug, "We are definitely getting together before Christmas." Eliza says. "And we're all getting together for New Years." Peggy adds on, "Right?" "Of course Pegs, we'll all be here for New Years." I say and she hugs me too.

"Well, who wants to go day drinking?" Angie asks getting up off the couch, "Hell no! You forget some of us are minors?" Peggy asks side glancing at Alex, "Like I've said before, you can be designated driver!" Angie yells about to grab her keys, "Actually guys, I'm gonna sit this one out. I have a lot of work to do. It's almost winter break and I need to get ahead if I want to relax." Alex says about to walk to his room.

"Come on Alex! You're so boring! Always studying, take a break! Have some fun mon ami!" Lafayette says trying to drag him out with us, "No, I really need to work. I'll see you guys later." he says and walks into his room shutting the door. "Well he's out. Let's go!" Angie yells walking out the door, I roll my eyes and follow.

~time skip~

I didn't get drunk, thank God. Peggy and I sat at the bar making sure Angie didn't accidentally go home with some random dude. "Has Alexander always been so...sacred?" I asked as Peggy took a sip of her water, "In what way?" she asked, "A few days ago, back in St. Croix, he had a really bad nightmare. He made me promise that I wouldn't leave or let anything or anyone take me away from him." I said and Peggy nodded.

"Yeah, he has serious abandonment issues." she says, I look at her confused, "By who?" I asked, she shook her head, "The fact that Alex said that to you, means he's opening up. He'll tell you in his own time." she says. I take another sip of my beer.

"Well hello there~ you're a pretty boy." Angie says walking up to me, she puts her arm around my shoulder, "What's your name hot stuff?" I laugh a bit as I take her arm off my shoulder, "John. But you already knew that." I say. She states at me slightly confused, "I did? When?" she asks looking around her as if she's looking for another me.

"Yeah, we're friends. I'm dating your 'brother'." I say slightly amused at her. "I have a brother?" she asks, I nod my head seeing if I can get her even more confused, "...is he hot?" she asks, "Okay!" Peggy says getting up, "I think that's our cue." she grabs Angie and walks to the door with her, I down the rest of my beer and pay for everyone's drinks. "Get Laf and Herc please." Peggy says walking back to get Eliza who was flirting with a really good looking burnette guy.

"We're leaving now." Peggy says grabbing her arm, "Oi! I'm not drunk Pegs I can walk out myself." she says, "Hey, here's my number. Call me." says the guy giving her a peice of paper with his phone number on it, "Will do." Eliza replies walking away with Peggy. I grabbed Hercules who was still pretty sober and Lafayette who was completely wasted.
