I finish setting the Christmas tree and begin to get out the ornaments out for the tree and begin to decorate. As I do my mind begins to drift to the fact that I haven't had a chance to tell my mom that i'm with and I begin to wonder if Dallas told his parents that we're together obviously Dawson knows, do his friends know? He has kissed my cheek and held me in front of his friends then again they could just think that Dallas and I were a fling.

 Are we a fling? No stop Brook, Dallas wouldn't play me like that when he knows that i'm Dawson's best friend. Would he? No he wouldn't, but would he?

My mind dwells on if Dallas would date me, just to break up with me, my head says "NO" but, the small voice in my head says "Yes" however; I decide not to think about it anymore seeing as I managed to decorate the entire tree. I stand by to admire it and it looks stunning with gold ornaments on some branches, some family photos, photos of my grandparents, photos of me as a child and, of course, the multi colored lights, I smile satisfied with the work I've done and check my phone to see a text from Lailiette.

Lailiette Guzman 

"Hey brook you're invited to my annual Christmas party you already know the address it's tonight starting at 7pm hope to see you there!"-4:30pm

she throws these party's every year, seeing as it's already 4:30 I decide to get getting ready by taking a shower after texting Lailiette that I'll be there and a text to Dallas and Dawson asking if they'll be there. After I shower I do my light makeup and put my hair in pony tail, then get dressed in my red jumpsuit, then I put on my white lace up 3in. heels. I look at myself in the mirror and grabs a small clutch with and put my wallet and phone in after texting my mom to tell her where i'm going. 

I arrive at the party to see tons of cars there already, I park then get out and head up to her house, which is decorated with Christmas decorations. I knock on the door she opens the door. As I walk in the music is blaring and people are dancing and drinking everywhere, drinking is really my thing but I don't mind it so I grab different juices and drinks and somehow manage to make a Sex on the Beach, I sip it and begin to walk around and say hi to different friends from school and wonder if Dallas and Dawson will show up.

I continue to wander through the house when I spot Dawson so I walk over to him, he sends me a smile and gives me a quick hug "You look stunning brook" Dawson is in regular jeans and a blue button up shirt "You don't look so bad yourself" we continue to chat when I finally ask where Dallas is and he tells me he's outside with his friends so I nod, we chat more before Dawson excuses himself and walks to get another drink. 

I walk outside still nursing my drink cause i'm driving home. as I approach Dallas I see he's with Pia, Lailiette, Alex, Asher, and David. I walk up and give Lailiette a hug which she returns, I feel Dallas's eyes on me and when we pull out of the hug Dallas wraps his arm around my shoulders, I flinch at the contact and Dallas gives me a confused as I smile back and relax in his arms, "I need to talk to him" I remind myself "Your house looks beautiful as per usual" I say with a smile  to Laitliette "Thank you Brook i'm glad you could come" she says with a smile then excuses herself to go deal with some boys being to loud, ""How are you brook?" Alex asks "I'm good" I reply.

I lay my head on Dallas shoulder as he and his friends continue to talk. I zone out still wondering if Dallas has truly told his friends that we're together or if they think that we're just some a fling, maybe you are, I shake the thought out of mind and excuse myself from Dallas and his friends with the excuse that i'm tired, I throw my cup away and gives Dawson a wave and give Laitliette a smile as I walk to my car and drive home.

The entire drive I wonder about Dallas and I, i'm not even sure why i'm having these thoughts or where they came from but, I hope they leave soon.

My brain continues to run a million miles a hour as I lay in my bed trying to sleep, eventually I give up on sleep and get in my car to drive to go to Dallas's house without changing out of my red plaid looking leggings and one of Dallas's hoodies. I didn't even bother to put in my contacts like I usually would. The drive feels so much longer then usual. I pull into the driveway of his house I realize its 3am. Nevertheless I walk up to the door and right before knocking I decide to  call Dallas and he answers on the second ring "Hey sweetheart is everything okay?" he asks. I panic "No- I mean yes. I-i'm outside your house" 

"Outside my house?" he says confused "Can you come open the door"   "Of course" he says and hangs up and within a minute the door opens to reveal a shirtless Dallas, his hair all over the place and only in grey sweatpants. He looks at me "What's wrong?"    "Can we talk" I say nervously and watch his face fall and nervousness is evident in his eyes "Of course, come on" he says his voiced mixed between tiredness and nervousness. 

he leads me up to his room and closes the door "What did you want to talk about?" Dallas asks as he sits on the edge of his bed. I sigh before replying "Do your friends know we're together?"

"What? Yeah of course they do" he says "This isn't just a fling right? This is the real thing, you're not just going to get bored of me are you?" I say nervously and Dallas looks up to meet my eyes before opening his arms and I walk into them as I feel his arms wrap around me and feel him plant a kiss on the top of my head "This is the real thing sweetheart, I don't think I could ever get tired of you" he says in a quite tone.
