Christmas Eve
i've always loved Christmas a lot but ever since the apocalypse it hasn't been the same. this year is so much different though.
i convinced the others to decorate for Christmas this year and even find wrapping paper and give out gifts. i'm sure the kids would love it but also the adults. it's a way to bring everyone together.
it even snowed this year too. yes I hate the snow but it makes Christmas even better.
the best thing is that I get to spend it with my best friends. today we were all planning on going to a party that Manny was throwing. it was only our friend group.
right now I'm just finishing out the chores I have today. right now I just need to go check on the new people to see how their doing. and this normally takes about 5 minutes.
i walked to the first station where a new girl had to stack up boxes in the storage room.
the box she had at the moment looked pretty heavy. i walked over and went to offer her some help.
"hey you need some-"
i saw the box slipped from her hands and that falling on someone would definitely hurt someone.
i ran over to her and put out my forearm to stop the box from falling on her. when the box made contact with my arm it hurt pretty badly.
i pushed the box up to the shelf then said "you need to be more careful with the heavy ones you can use the stool if you need".
"I-I'm so sorry!! is your arm okay" she asked giving me a worried look.
i looked down and saw my arm was pretty red.
"my arms fine kid it'll just bruise that's all.. now be sure to be more careful" I said before walking away and over to the other new people.
the rest we're doing way better than that girl.
i stretched out and said "damn today was exhausting".
i was so tired but I wasn't about to bail on the party. i'm only 19 I can't act like an old woman yet. i made my way over to my room. i had actually forgotten today was Christmas Eve.
