It was Christmas Eve and I was packing to go home with Connor, Brad had already left last night to go home and see his family "you ready?" Connor asked "yeah just give me a sec" I replied we had been loading the car with our bags and presents, I even got for the boys and they gave me which was nice of them because I wasn't expecting anything.

The drive home was nice we sang songs at the top of our lungs, talked about all the silly things we use to do as kids, we laughed the more or less the whole way there and I was so excited to see my family and Christmas is my favourite holiday.

We arrived at the house and we got all the presents out first and I sorted them under the tree while Connor took it the bags "C a little help" he called I got up and helped I took my two bags and put them in my room then walked down stairs to continue to sort out the presents "whose are these?" Connor asked "for my friends I'm gonna deliver then tonight" I answered "we're home" our mum called "hi" I said "you beat us" she said walking into the living room giving us a hug then my younger brother came in "look at you" I said hugging him "miss you" he said "aw I missed you too" I said letting him go so he could hug Connor.

That night after I made dropped all the presents off we watched Christmas movies and was drinking hot chocolate, by midnight I went to bed but they boys were still up, I heard them laughing downstairs so I went to read but wasn't doing anything so I got up and grabbed an old notebook and grabbed a spare guitar from Connor's room I sighed making sure the guitar was tuned and just sang what I was feeling

"You're the type of guy to write a song about
You're laid back, nobody know what's on your mind
We been talking for a while now
And I been falling for a while now
You say that everything with you is fine
Even though we're always hanging out
I get the feeling that you're not around" I said and wrote it down before I forgot.
"We were always up to something
Now you're all in your head
I love you
But I wish it wasn't true
'Cause I know you think of her
When I'm lying next to you
I love you
And I don't know what to do
'Cause you can't get over her
And I can't get over you" again writing down what I sang.
"You the type of guy to tell your mom about
You're laid back, but running circles round my mind
I been falling for a while now
But you been lying for a while now
You say that everything with you is fine
Even though we're always hanging out
I get the feeling that you're not around" I sang.
"We were always up to something
Now you're all in your head
I love you
But I wish it wasn't true
'Cause I know you think of her
When I'm lying next to you
I love you
And I don't know what to do
'Cause you can't get over her
And I can't get over you" again writing down what I sang.
"I love you
And I don't know what to do
'Cause you can't get over her
And I can't get over you"

I sang playing the last chord I wrote down the last word when there was a knock on the door and Connor walked in "you okay?" he asked sitting down on my bed "no" I replied "what's up?" he asked "Brad" I answered he sighed "he hasn't done anything wrong" I said "he just told me he liked me and he has since we came back from tour months ago but I told him I can't do this because of you and I don't want it affect the band" I said "C" he said "slow down, first of I don't mind you dating Brad like I said before if you want to see where it goes then that's fine"

He told me "secondly don't worry about the band that's my job and thirdly all I want is for you to be happy and by the sounds of that song is anything but happy so when we're back talk to him please" he begged "okay I will" I replied "now go away I want to sleep now" I said pushing him off my bed he laughed "goodnight" he said "goodnight" I replied and went to sleep.

The next morning I was up at 7.30 because Lewie woke me up I threw on a jumper because it was freezing, when I got down stairs Connor was already up "he wake you up to?" I asked "mm" he replied "okay well Merry Christmas" I said to my brother "Merry Christmas" they replied then mum and dad came through I hugged my dad, we let Lewie open all his first he likes the clothes I got him and Connor got him a PS4 game which got released just before Christmas and his joint present from Connor and I was a car yeah I know but he just passed his test and mum and dad didn't mind,

He opened the small box to see car keys and jumped on us "thank you" he said "no problem" I replied, next was me and Connor got me a Pandora bracelet which the other boys got me charms so Tris gave me the Harry Potter train, James got me C for my name and Brad got me a Disney charm, Lewie got me also got me a charm which was a camera I thanked them.

Connor was next he loved my presents and Lewis got him some other music stuff, mum and dad got a few things from us which they loved, my phone buzzed in my pocket "hold on" I said walking out the room not even checking who the caller was "hello?" I said "did you like your present?" Brad asked "yes I did thank you, you didn't have to get me anything" I told him

"of course I did and thank you for mine it will definitely come in handy" he said "I'm glad you like it, hey um listen can we talk when we back on the 27th?" I asked "eh sure yeah" he answered "okay great well enjoy the rest of your Christmas" I said "you too" he replied and hung up, I walked back into the living room "Brad?" Con asked "yeah how did you know?" I asked "he messaged me asking if he could call you" he told me I nodded "love how he asks first" mum said "okay I get it" I replied.

We just got back to the flat and Brad was already home "Brad" I called but no answer "is he here?" I asked Connor walking into my room to drop my bags off "maybe he's out" Connor said I grabbed my bag with all my washing as did Con, I put it on and went back to my room to sort out all the presents I got I decided to stay to I unpacked all the boxes again not that I mind, I feel like helps me with my anxiety,

I put on some music and just tried to find space for everything, I heard a bang come from somewhere in the flat "Con was that you?" I asked "no" he replied we walked out our rooms "Brad you home?" I asked again still no answer so I knocked on his door still nothing so I checked the living room and bathroom "there's no one here but us" I told my brother then we heard the noise again it was definitely coming from Brad's room "what the fuck is that?"

I asked away to open the door "wait" Con told me I looked at him "maybe I should in first" he said "be my guest" I replied moving out the way "Brad?" He asked with me walking behind him "Christ sorry" he said backing out but failed to do so with me behind him so we fell to the ground in a heap "CONNOR!" I heard Brad yell I laughed "I'm just glad that was you and not me" I said pushing him off me and standing up just to see Brad throw on some trousers "I can't unsee that" he said "but.." Con said standing up "what you doing here?" Brad asked from his room "we did shout" I replied walking into my room "you're back early" he said following "no we're not its 27th" I said showing him my phone "what's going on?" The last person I expected to see ask.
