The sunrise showed a promise of a brand new day. Unfortunately last nights events rose with it. When Ana woke up she had one objective in mind. GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS HOUSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It didn't even matter if Ana and Kate had to hitchhike their way back home, they were getting out of here. But of course when Ana turned her head to expecting to find Kate in her bed she was gone. Just great. Ana would go looking for Kate right after she got rid of her morning breath.
When Ana finished she decided to sneak through the halls to try and find Kate. She figured it wouldn't be that hard to get Kate to leave with her based on last nights events. Ana snuck through the halls, just barely poking her head through corners to see if Kate was there. She went upstairs downstairs but it was as if Kate had vanished. Ana had decided that it would be best if she went to go pack her stuff, get dressed and hunt down Kate later. But as soon as she let her guard down as she walked she crashed no slammed right into an unknown person and fell to the ground.
Everything seemed hazy as Ana tried to refocus her eyes. The figure who she crashed into was a male no doubt. Please don't be Christian, Please don't be Christian. Ana thought. The figure extended his hadn to help her up. As the face came closer and closer, Ana was able to make out that it was Elliot not Christian. She sighed in relief. Dodged a bullet.
Ana hadn't really had the chance to look at Elliot since she was too busy freaking out over the proposal and crazy old ladies pinning you to walls. But up close with no interruptions she could see that he was kind of...handsome?
Elliot was tall, muscular (but not a muscle head, average) and wide shoulder. What really made him attractive was his curly blonde hair and blue eyes. He was no Christian but still he was very attractive. Elliot was saying something but it was still hard to focus.
"...ok?" Elliot asked. "What?" Ana asked groggily. "Are you ok?" It took a second to realize that Elliot had picked up Ana and held her by the arms. Ana blushed at the contact.
"Um yeah I-I'm fine." Ana stuttered. You could see the invisible weight disappear from Elliot's shoulder. "Thank goodness because my mom would kill me if I injured one of the guests." That actually made Ana smile a bit. Things have been kind of hectic lately. But she still wondered where Kate was.
"If your wondering where your friend is she's in the kitchen." Elliot said. Ana blushed at Elliot answering her unasked question. The two went downstairs to the kitchen where everybody last night was seated at the table eating. Mia waved at Ana and Ana waved back. Elliot disappeared into the kitchen while Ana sat down rather awkwardly. It was very silent and continued to be like that even when Elliot walked in and sat at the table. Everyone ate in silence until Elliot snapped.
"OH MY GOODNESS. I GET IT IT'S AWKWARD BUT DEAD SILENCE SOMEONE PLEASE SPEAK!" Elliot shouted. That seemed to snap people out of it because the entire table full of people stopped looking like zombies. Idle chit chat went by as everyone ate. Everything was going good until Mia asked if Kate and Ana would stay for dinner. But Mrs. Lincoln interrupted.
"Oh no I'm sure these girls would rather return to their families I'm sure they are missed. Plus with last nights misfortunes..." Fake politeness was dripping off this woman. It took all of Ana's self control not to snort.
"Oh bull they can stay and it would be a lot less awkward if everybody stopped bringing up last night." Mia said. Mia turned to Grace. "Please please please please please!" Mia begged. "
Grace finally spoke up "Mia is right it is Christmas what kind of people would throw someone out on Christmas? You two can leave tomorrow." The firmness in Grace kind of made it feel that the decision was made and there was no backing out. The whole table agreeing didn't help.
So the day was filled with eggnog, cookies, wine for Carrick and Elena, and old/new Christmas everything on T.V. At around 11 Ethan arrived and was welcomed with open arms. He was even given a present, socks. Cutesy of Elliot. Ana thought she was going crazy when she saw Christian scowl and possibly give a low growl when she hugged Ethan. Because the scowl was gone as quickly as it appeared.
During this Christian had pulled Kate into another room. Kate didn't protest since there was too many witnesses. A pang of jealously surged through Ana but she pushed it down. Last night she decided she did not like who she was becoming and decided to change herself.
In the corner of her eye she saw Elena walk into the dinning room, probably for more wine. Ana decided to follow. Part of being the new Ana was not letting psychotic old ladies pin her up against walls and insult her. And how did she pin her to the wall in the first place? Ana knew she was skinny but what was this woman the hulk's grandma?
As she thought, Elena was in there refilling her glass. Ana wouldn't mind a little liquid courage to be honest. Nonetheless she walked ahead determined to confront this woman. She thought of all the frustrations during the past few months and it all just built up inside of her so fast that she was lucky she didn't exploded by the time she got to Elena.
"Just who the hell do you think you are calling me a gold digging tramp and assaulting me?" Ana demanded. She sounded a hell of a lot more confident than she was. She should get angry more often.
"Dear love I have no idea what you are talking about." Elena said with tooth rotting sweetness.
"Oh don't give me that crap we both know what you did."
"Ana dear I'm afraid I have no idea what you are talking about now run along." Elena walked by Ana and dismissed her as if she was a child. Forgetting all common sense Ana followed her back to the living room ready to strangle her when she saw Kate and Christian coming down the hall. They were holding hands and laughing softly. Ana hurried into the living room and sat down next to Ethan. She decided not to worry and just assumed they worked out the rejected marriage proposal. She would have to learn to stop assuming.
When Christian and Kate walked in it grabbed everyone's attention. Carrick even shut the T.V. off.
"We have an announcement." Christian said. To a random passer bye it would seem that Christian was happy but something deep deep deep inside Ana knew something was wrong. Call a sixth sense or paranoia but Ana couldn't get rid of the feeling that Christian was hiding something.
"WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!" Kate squealed as she showed off her engagement ring while everyone offered their congratulations minus Elena and Ana because the same was probably going through their heads.
DAMN EVERYTHING TO HELL.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW IT'S SHORT BUT I'M WRITING THIS ON A TABLET AND I'M ABOUT TO BREAK THIS THIS. I ALSO SAID THE CHRISTMAS THING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TWO SHOT BUT IN TURNED INTO THREE DUE TO WRITERS BLOCK SO IF YOU COMBINE THIS WITH PART 2 IT MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE. OR NOT WHO KNOWS. BUT I FIGURE IT WOULD BE STUPID TO JUST ADD THIS TO PART 2 AND JUST REPLACE THE CHAPTER BECAUSE HOW WOULD PEOPLE KNOW. ANYWHO THESE PAST FEW CHAPTERS HAVE BEEN LIKE FILLER CHAPTERS. JUST I NEEDED YOU TO KNOW SO THAT WHEN THE REAL PLOT STARTED NO ONE WOULD BE CONFUSED. AS FOR MY LAST "CHAPTER" I DON'T REGRET UPLOADING IT AND I WON'T TAKE IT DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS A LESSON FOR ME AND HOW CAN I LEARN THAT LESSON IF I TAKE IT DOWN. FINALLY I CAN START THE REAL PLOT NOW! NOT THAT THIS ISN'T PART OF THE PLOT IT IS IT'S JUST YOU FILLER CHAPTERS. BTW THE TIMELINE ISN'T OR WON'T BE DAY BY DAY. I'M PROBABLY GOING TO BE SKIPPING DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS. SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT. GOD THIS IS REALLY SHORT I HATE FILLER CHAPTERS BUT IT'S BEEN FOREVER AND I NEEDED TO FINISH IT AND I KNOW I'M GOING TO GET SOMEONE SAYING YOU DON'T CARE ENOUGH YADDA YADDA. SORRY I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU IN THE NEXT CHAPTER...HOPEFULLY.
