Why hello my lovelies, I didn't see you there. *Hides the bag of ponies. On with the story!
The sun light shot into my eyes, I let off a groan. Morning already, I thought sleepily. I sat up, looking around my room, I slowly got up the cold air hit me like a brick wall. I felt goose bumps begin to creep up on my skin. Wile I was getting dress, I debated whether to go back into my bed, but my choice was made when Sophie bust through my door.
"Alex, come on it is Christmas!"
Sophie screamed, running around my room. I let out a laugh,
"Okay Sophie, come on let's go see what Santa brought us, shall we?"
She grabbed my hand and dragged me down the stairs; I looked at the Christmas tree. Under it was full of presents, Jamie, and Phil, where sitting on the leather sofa. I just stared in aw, I remembered I was about Sophie's age, and I was ecstatic for Santa's visit. But that was then, when my mom and dad where together, and I was too young to know what I had. If I only knew then… Snapping out of my thoughts, when I felt a hand placed on my shoulder. It was my mom's hand, gentile and kind.
"Come on kids, lets not stand there with our mouths open. Start opening the presents!"
She said happily, I gave her a smile. Jamie and Sophie grabbed their stockings, they were loaded to the brim with toys and other things. I walked to the chimney, grabbing my stocking. It was a purple stocking with black trimming, I took out the gifts inside, they were wrapped in red wrapping paper, with a green bow. I opened up a small box. Inside was a Pandora charm; it was blown glass with black stars in it. I smiled, another charm to my overflowing bracelet. Next I opened up another box and inside was an assortment of pins. I saw Green Day, ACDC, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, and many more.
"Thanks mom."
I said with a huge smile. The rest of my stocking gifts where chocolate and make-up. Next I moved up to the presents under my tree, Jamie and Sophie where already tearing through their gift at lighting speed! I smiled; I grabbed a gift, opening it. I saw it was a sketchbook; the cover was made of black swade. I love it; the next gift I opened was a pair of black leggings.
"Open this one Alex, it is from Santa."
Phil said with a smile, I smirked. He handed me a black wrapped gift with gold dots. Opening it I was it was a Nikon camera.
"Oh my God!"
I said,
"I love it!"
It was just what I needed; I took it out of the box. Putting the memory card in I started to take pictures.
"Okay kids go get ready. We are going to go to Granma's and Grandpa's house." Phil said with a smile. Jamie and Sophie ran upstairs, my heart sunk. Phil's grandparents hated me with a passion! They always Compline how I dress, and my school. That is fine thought because I hated them to. I guess Phil felt my vibes, because he left the room. Oh here comes the talk…
"Alex, I know how you feel towards Mary and Tom, but they invited us, and it would be rude not to go."
I looked at my mom, her eyes read sympathy. I didn't want her sympathy, I wanted her truth.
"Mom I am sure they invited the Bennett family, last time I checked I was not in the Bennett family!"
I hissed quietly,
"Alex don't even think that for a second! You will always be a part of this family.
She pleaded,
"Oh that's precious, remember when you said you and dad would always be a family? Oh ya you did, but then you went and walked out on us?"
"Alex please don't…"
It was too late, I was pissed.
"You left me to play mommy, and look after him. He was sick and dying, but you didn't care did you? No what go to their house I want to be alone anyway" I got up leaving my presents on the floor; I grabbed my jacket and put on my boots, I walked out the door.
"Where are you going?"
I heard my mother call out. I didn't answer her I just kept walking; I felt tears start to roll down, I brushed them away. I rounded the corner; I stopped in front of the Cemetery gates. Taking a deep breath I pushed open the gates, I walked quietly along the snow-covered pathway. I stopped in front of a grave that has been long weathered; crouching down I brushed the snow off the head stone. Dad… I thought sadly, it has been over a year since he passed. It was over five years since mom left us; I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. I wished I never came here! I knew it was a mistake, and it didn't help that that fucking creepy Pitch was actually real! I felt something on my shoulder; it was a lump of snow! Wiping off my tears I looked around, nothing, I placed a kiss on my dad's headstone, then I left the Cemetery.
I didn't bother to go back home, they probably left or where worried sick about me. Either was I didn't give a fuck now; I needed to cool off, and think. I found myself walking into the forest, I looked around. Lets not go in the creepy forest, where the even creepier Pitch lurks. I stopped and looked around the forest, it was quiet and calm, well maybe he won't be out in broad daylight? I thought to myself, after all he was in a cave when I met him. I walked further into the forest; I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mitts.
I was walking for about thirty minutes before I came to a fork in the path. Left or right? I thought to myself, this left feels right, I thought smirking.
"Well hello."
A voice said behind me, I turned around and came face to face with Jack. I smirked,
"Hi, Jack. Fancy meeting you here."
He looked at me,
"Jamie asked me to follow you."
"Ah, so besides making snow, stalking is your second profession."
He let off a laugh,
"Don't go telling everyone!"
He said with mirth, I rolled my eyes.
"So you're here, you can go tell Jamie I am fine, and I am coming home in a while."
I said as I started to walk again, I felt his cold hand grab mine. I turned around, a blush creeping up my cheeks. I took my hand out of his.
" I think it is safer if you headed home now, remember Pitch?"
I let off a groan, but I silently agreed with him.
"Fine walk with me frosty."
I said with a smirk,
"Oh I haven't heard that one before."
Jack said sarcastically, we walked down the path.
"Well good, because it took me out all night to get you nickname, snow cone."
I said letting off a laugh.
Okay short, but I wanted to get something out. Please read and review! *Getting bag of ponies out.
