" Woah, Ste what the hell is this all about?"
" I'll explain it later Am's not now yeah."
" We'll Im not complaining its gorggeous!"
" If you saying so." I aid grinning.
"Oi.." she said smiling back at me.
Everyone was washed dressed and fed , apart from me, this was a day for relaxing...
" Right we're off out, to play in the snow, meeting Lee aswell."
" Cool, might join you later."
I had the whole house to myself and was incredibly bored, why did he have to go away? I know realised what my life was like before we started seeing each other and frankly I didnt want to return to it. I knew I was being selfish, he wanted to see his kids for Christmas, I understood that, I just couldn't help but feel a tad lonely.
My childhood Christmas' were terrible, I would get nothing , a pound maybe to pop out while mum and her five second boyfriends could well you know.. to me Christmas was just another day on the calender.
I turned the radio and a song called 'The only hope for me is you ' came on that made me feel a whole lot better, not. I'd have to admit though it was a pretty cool song. I picked up the lyrics easy enough an started singing along, the words giving me a burning sensation in my eyes, remembering a certain someone while singing...
'If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you '

"If only Steven knew, if only he knew."
Ste pov
I'm so pathetic I need to grow up, go find my kids and have a good time, because they are certaintly not having a shit Christmas like mine.
I grab the package and pull out a dark blue shirt, perfect fit for me and grab some tight skinny jeans and my converses and dash out the door, I hadn't had time to dress properly on other days, it was either tracksuit bottems or work uniform, and my converses hadn't had a look in , in quite a while now.
I run like the wind, the wailing wind rushing past my ears, caressing my cheeks, leaving a burning chill on my brightly roasted cheeks.
Brendan's POV
" Its quite funny actually, I can't wait, just waiting for it..."
Ste POV
I reach them at last, there in the snow, Lee is there and he looks like a snowman buried with a thick sheet of white on top of him, with the kids jumping on him and sticking all kinds of things to him. I perch down next to Amy on the bench.
" Oh lord, Rudolph has decided to join in." she said with a sarcastic twist of tongue.
"Yes, Rudolph has come."
" What's been up with you Ste? Your mood changes day by day, it was only a month ago you were jumping off the walls, all happy, and now your just, I dunno, not the same..."
" I had stuff change, unexpected stuff, I was really happy, but everyone has a fall now and then right?".
" Yeah but... what unexpected changes, I haven't noticed anything in particular? Omg are you ill, were you gunna die?"
She was getting hysterical it was quite funny , but her voice was rising.
" No I'm not ill, im offended ." I gave her a playful punch.
" Not funny".
" I sorta met someone." that shut her up.
" Weelllll... who's it?"
" A man, Iv'e met a man, and Iv'e fallen in love with a man." I kept emphasising the word man just for fun.
" Wha? A man since when were you? A man?" He voice was rising again, and I had to shut her up.
" Yes for God's sake!"
"Wow" was all she said, and we sat in silence watching the kids playing.
" Had no idea.."
" Well why would you" I said laughting tryingto lighten the mood.
" Who is it?"
" Can't say I'm afraid..."
" No, its fine, tell me when your ready yeah."
"Thanks, look I'm gunna head off in a min, once I've played with them."
" Right, cya later for Christmas dinner eee!"
Once me and the kids had an epic snowball fight with Lee, I started heading back towards the house.
I looked down in front of me, it was a tree, yeah a tree, but there was a blue post it note on it. It read:
'Eat me ".
I looked down, further to the bottem, and layed on the snow was a massive packet ofmy favourite sweets. strawberry and cream pencils, why were they here?
I didn't care who they were for , there was nobody around so I took them regardless. They cheered me right up.
I got home and on the front door there was another note.
' Meet me in the middle of the village at midnight' was this a joke or something, I looked around but no one was there, strange very strange. Did I have a stalker or something?
I ripped the note down and went inside to prepare the dinner, Amy should spend Christmas relaing , not cooking. I decided I would confront this person who ever they were.
