Snowfall-Chapter 4
Author Notes: Here we go the finalement chapter for our precious holiday story. Thank you everyone who stuck with us till the end. We don't own IB
Last time on Snowfall~
Soon everyone lost it, crying their hearts out for their employers daughter. Now they understood why she failed to believe in miracles and wishes. Because every time the holidays roll around she's alone trying to patiently wait for her parents to come.
'No...' All the workers were in agreement. This year, they would not let Ib's Christmas be ruined. All day she anticipated this dinner, leaving the warm company of her friends to prepare for her parents arrival, only for them to ditch her. This Eve was going to be a joyous memory. "Ok here's what we do..."
3rd P.O.V
Knock knock knock. Knock knock knock. "Garry, Garry! Wake up!" His eyes popped open as he jolted into a sitting position. "Mrs. Guertena?" She had the flashlight and a baseball bat in hand.
"I want you to go and investigate! " All the children were awoken from the ruckus as she pushed him to the door with her weapon of choice. "Alright alright sheesh." Through the peephole he saw someone most surprising to see at this hour. Hiding the weapon he opened the door. "How may we help you?"
The snow landed softly on his face, covering his dark colored hat and coat. His face resembling a saddened sculpture. "I apologize for the late intrusion but...I need your help." Garry noticed how the man bit the inside of his cheek with a worried expression. Mimicking what Ib did earlier.
A sinking feeling spread between the adults there. "What's wrong..." Garry practically dreaded the answer. "I'll explain on the way but, she needs her friends...she needs someone to talk to. Can you and Miss. Mary come?" A look was shared from the old woman and her children.
Mary was antsy already set up and ready to go see her friend. A sigh escaped the orphanage owner. "Go on you two. Be careful and call me when you get there." A quick hug before the trio were off. They sat in the car. However it didn't stay silent for long.
"Hey um Mr. Richie what's going on!?" Garry gently smacked her on the head, though he was curious as well he knew it wasn't the time or the place. Suddenly the driver felt older then what he truly was.
"Miss Ib's parents never arrived for the dinner. When they called, the young lady overheard them saying they weren't coming, and locked herself in her room..." The lavender haired boy sucked in a breath, feeling great sadness for the girl.
'Poor Ib...and on Christmas Eve...' "So we're going there to cheer her up right? We'll play with her and she'll be happy again!" If only it was that easy. Despite it all Mr. Richie found himself smiling a bit.
"Indeed...the maids managed to unlock her door and found her sleeping. But I think she could use the company when she wakes up." It was decided then. Nothing would stand in their way to make this Ib's best Christmas ever.
The next morning...
The sun shone brightly dancing into the room, eventually landing on the nine year old brunettes tiny body. She was awakened by the warmth and brightness given. She stood, remembering the night before with a somber expression.
Though she felt guilty for having acting that way and worrying the staff, she still felt this intense pain spread through her. She almost didn't want to leave her sanctuary that is her bedroom. When she noticed her door was opened.
'I thought for sure I locked it last night...' With a reluctant sigh she knew that she couldn't wallow in her misery forever. So quickly she changed into her play clothes, no longer caring how she dressed.
It was still rather early in the morning though she knew some of the maids and cooks were already up and about. So she stealthily made her way down. Only for her stomach to growl, alerting those around her of her presence. "Miss Ib!" She was embraced.
Warm and tight, comforting and gentle. "You had us so worried milady!" She was kindly pulled into the kitchen. She nearly fell in shock as she heard Pop Pop Pops! "Surprise!" Confetti flew as she was picked up. "Merry Christmas kiddo~" She gasped. "Garry!"
He laughs setting her down. "Mary!" "Ib!" Merriment spread to everyone watching the lovely scene before them. A wonderful change from last nights disaster. "I'm so glad you guys are here...but why?" Simon cleared his throat, grabbing her attention.
"After you locked yourself into your room-" Her face fell a bit. "I figured it would be nice if you had some company, so while the remaining staff decorated the mansion, I went to pick them up." Tears piled once more. But this time due to cheer. She pounced on her elderly driver.
A few sobs, she tried holding it in but she could not. "Thank you Mr. Richie...thank you." He returned the gesture. "Anything for you dear. To me, to the staff you are a precious angel, and we only wish for your happiness."
Her Christmas wish was granted, though her parents never showed that night. Her family did, her true family. Love and happiness comes from those around you who care. It doesn't have to be blood kin, but those whom are important to you. And that is more vital than any present in the world.
the end.
