All I Want For Christmas
Part One

Snow slowly danced from the frosty mid-day air, students we're eagerly retreating to the nearest shelter they could find. A young man was seen through his bedroom window, finishing the last of his class assignments on his laptop. With every passing second the young man's typing grew more rapid, he was on a mission and would see to it to the end.
"C'mon Eddward, you're almost done!" The young man said to himself as beads of sweat began to slide down the curves of his brow.
"Just...Have to...Finalize this last paragraph...And...DONE!" The young man said with much glee in his voice.
With that said; the young man quickly attached his finished paperwork to an email, and sent it off to his instructor. He leaned backwards in his rolling office chair, and took in a sigh of relief. Suddenly a notification alert rang from his cell phone. The young man quickly reached into the side pocket of his jeans and pulled out his phone, his face beamed with excitement as he read whom the message was from.
"Hey baby, did you finish all your assignments yet?" The message read.
The young man gave a small chuckle while rapidly tapping on the keypad on his phone.
"Actually; I literally just sent off the last of my paper work just a split second before you messaged me." The young man replied.
A moment later; the young man had received another notification from his phone.
"That's great, do you have everything you need for your flight?"
The young man typed on his phone only using one hand to reply to the message, while returning his chair into its up right position. Using his other hand the young man opened a nearby desk drawer, slowly pulled out a plane ticket.

"Flight 4493, Non-Stop Flight To Peach Creek Hills International Airport. Departing from Gate A-4 on December 23rd. 6:00pm" The Ticket read.
"Yes ma'am; I have my ticket in hand plus I already have everyone's presents packed. I just need to get my luggage together, then I'll be heading straight to the airport." The young man replied.
He then pulled himself off of his chair and knelt below his bed, slowly reaching underneath it.
"Oh where is it?" The young man said to himself as he frantically flailed his arm in search for an unknown item. "FOUND IT!" The young man declared happily.
He tightly clenched onto the item, and quickly pulled it from underneath his bed. It was a light gray and black colored duffel bag. Once the young man had placed his bag on top of his bed, he had once again received a message alert from his cell phone.
"Okay, just remember one thing mister. Tonight and tomorrow we'll get to spend with the others, but come Christmas day you're all mine." The message said with a small winky face after.
The young man's face grew into a deep shade of read as he read the message.
"Right; I'll see you all at the airport around 8 tonight Anna." The young man wrote as he was moving in between his laundry drawer and duffel bag.
"And Anna." The young man typed into his phone.
"Yes honey?" The message read.
"I love you." The young man wrote.
"I love you too babe, see you when you get home." The other party replied.
After the young man slid his phone back into his pocket, he then took a few short minutes to pack all of his essentials into his duffel bag.

"Let's see; I have enough clothing to last me all winter break. Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant..." The young man said to himself as he ran down a check list within his mind.
"Well alright I think that's..." The young man began to say as he dug his hands into his pockets.
"W...Wait...Where did it go?" He said as he began to aggressively pat down his person.
Fear and anxiety began to build within the young man's gut, like an unprepared student for a finals exam. He once again knelt underneath his bed, then checked his laundry drawer right after.
"Good Lord! Why did I have to loose it now of all times?" The young man said to himself as he reached into the same desk drawer that he had found his airplane ticket.
Once inside; the young man's anxiety had melted away and was replaced with a joyous relief.
"There you are you little rascal." He said to himself and reached inside the drawer.
From within the drawer, the young man had pulled out a small violet box, with gold trimmings surrounding the center of the box. He carefully opened the box and gazed at a small platinum ring, centered with a diamond gem embedded within a lily shaped frame.
"I know it's not a lot, but I was able to keep up with tradition and put in three months salary into this gem." The young man said to himself.
With a beaming smile, the young man gently closed the box once more, and carefully slipped the box into the side pocket of his jeans. With his final preparations finished, the young man retrieved all of his luggage and walked towards his doorway. But just as he was about to place his hand on top of the door knob, it came to an abrupt halt as if it was frozen in time.
"Well Eddward...There's nothing else that can help prepare you for what's about to come." A voice said echoing in the back of the young man's head.
"No matter what happens, you have to remain positive."
The young man took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled all of the gathered air from within his lungs.
"Here we go!" The young man said with a restored confidence.
