"I have good news, and I have bad news..." Nathan sighs as he sits down on the sofa, placing his hand on the back of my hoody as he rubs my back.

"Go on?" I ask hesitantly.

"I can't spend christmas with you" He blurts out, studying my face closely to see my reaction.

"Why?" I ask instantly, feeling my heart drop.

"My mum was going on about family traditions, and my sister has a boyfriend that I have to check out, I don't want her going out with just anyone" Nathan tries to explain.

"And what about my boyfriend, spending Christmas alone with nobody around me!" I get up from the sofa ready to leave, all of my university work that I've been working on for weeks goes spiralling around the room. The christmas deadline was fast approaching and I needed to get this done. But now Nathan had dropped this bombshell on me, that was the least of my worries. We'd been planning Christmas for weeks now and now all our plans had been ruined.

"You haven't heard the good news Maddie" Nathan tries to reason with me.

"There is no good news" I throw my arms up in the air in frustration, trying to stop myself from crying.

"We're all going on holiday together after Christmas, ready for the new year" Nathan smiles enthusiastically, trying to pull me into a hug to comfort me.

"I don't care if I'm going to the moon and back, what's the point if I can't see your face on Christmas morning?" I finally sucumb to my tears and make my way upstairs grumpily. Okay the thought of us all going on holiday has taken the sting out of Nathan's bad news, but this was going to be the best christmas yet, and now it wasn't going to happen. Instead I'd be stuck in this apartment, and my only Christmas meal would be from a microwave. My mum had been funny with me since she discovered that me and Nathan were a couple, apparently she'd always wanted me and Tom to get together, not that it had anything to do with her.

"Hey what's all this?" Tom tilts my chin up as I walk in to him to him by accident, seeing the tears that are falling down my face.

"Me and Nathan aren't spending Christmas together, and I had it all planned, and I'll be all alone, and I'll be like Bridget Jones all my life only without Mr Darcy" I sob pathetically into Tom's chest.

"What are you talking about, my mum already has your place set at the dinner table" Tom chuckles, the vibrations off his loud booming laugh echoing through me.

"We're going back to Bolton?" I ask him, using the sleeve of my hoody to mop up my tears.

"Yep, since when have we not spent Christmas day together? Tom smiles.

"Caoimhe?"

"Going back to Ireland to see her family, we're all going back to see our families" Tom grins at me happily. Of course I'm happy, me and Tom have our own traditions that we stick too, but I kind of wanted to see Nathan's too. Maybe it's for the best, I'm sure his family wouldn't appreciate me being there in the slightest. I must be thinking to myself for a long time because the next thing I know Tom coughs loudly to bring me back to reality.

"Sorry" I smile weakly.

"You're so run down at the minute aren't you" Tom says sympathetically, pulling my baggy hoody that buries me since all my weight loss due to stress, and pointing to the extremely messy bun on my head. I nod my head in agreement and he adds "What's up, Nathan not giving you enough?" I laugh at the fact that he's thankfully joking, and is only trying to stifle a smile from me.
