Firstly hello to the anonymous review sup who wrote:

Why is Jasmine so pissed off with Carl? She moved to California with him and they got along fine... what's with the sudden change of heart? You need to write them more in character to be honest... because it doesn't make sense. Also Jas isn't a slut.

And to you i say if you are still reading this and haven't checked my profile recently.

Please read or re read the story and you should understand, and i have never ever ever (and i won't ever say) Jas is a slut because she isn't and i am insulted that you would think that i would write that about the best character ever written ( in my personal opinion ) in TV / MOVIE history. And also how do you know that her and Carl are getting along fine in California? Would be interested to know as it has never been mentioned as they have only just left the show, but thank you for the review xx

AND THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY ELSE FOR ALL YOUR LOVELY REVIEWS – ANOTHER XMAS CHAPTER AND WITH MORE CARL – JUST FOR YOU GIRLWEDNESDAY AS WE ALL KNOW YOU LOVE A LITTLE BIT OF CC. THEN AGAIN WHO DOESN'T?

Chapter ten: All your Christmas wishes will come true

We are going to start off back at the flat with Carl, Riley and Mitzeee.

Carl's POV - oh he's so hot don't you think?

I am sorry son for all that i did before i hope you know that, and anyways i came to see Jasmine and Bart McQueen. Not you, but i am sure that you will be pleased to hear that.

"Oh Carl i am so sorry about that" exclaims riley sarcastically. "well as you just witnessed Jas has just left and i don't know when she will be back and you aren't welcome here so please get the FUCK out and merry Christmas!"

"Babes was that really necessary?" Mitzeee asks riley twirling the tie he was wearing around her finger and in the process pulling him closer towards her and giving him a kiss, before leading him into one of the bedrooms.

Goodbye then and merry Christmas to you too. – i stalk out of the flat and sit downstairs at the bar, the pub is empty with it being Christmas eve and all that, Riley had shut up early to spend time with his little precious girlfriend.

My girlfriend Elise is back in America, she is young, pretty, charming and funny too. I am spending out first Christmas as a couple away from her, trying to make amends with my family – if you can call it that now.

Calling ... Jas

Fine then don't answer you phone you will see this text though ... eventually.

My little baby girl i am so sorry for everything that i did to you and your mum and brothers and especially Gem, that was a low point. I have found a way to make it right, i do hope you can forgive me and remember that no matter what, and i do mean that, despite what you may think that i love you and that i always will. Dad xx

Jasmine's POV - back to the best character ever who is by no means a slut.

I am sitting in the shack staring at this candle it is nearly burnt out completely, Bart must have been here a lot while i was away, i can't believe i ever left him, why did i do it why. I ask myself that all the time now how could i have left him all broken in tiny pieces having to play the loving boyfriend to Sinead when he clearly only wanted me.

Forgiveness starts to play in the background i sit for a while and listen to it, then i come to my senses and realise it is my ringtone – just the chorus though, it reminds me of mine and Bart's trip to London, the best day of my life... and the worst, it was when i left Bart, alone in a big city not knowing what to do and the day i made him delete those texts i don't know why i did, i thought it might help me to forget but i couldn't, not for a single second. Bart's face, his hands, his chest, his hauntingly beautiful eyes whenever he looked at me, i could see it there always – the i love you, don't ever leave me look, i just choose to ignore it.

So it was my dad on the phone i also choose to ignore that and the text he sent me. It was only 6.40 pm Bart would be ages yet. I lay down and closed my eyes, i dreamt of Jason and of Bart and of mum all together nothing special just there together talking, it was wonderful, it was as though mum was back in my life. Then i awoke to the sound of Bart crashing through the door and realised the harsh reality mum was dead and therefore never coming back, but dad, dad was here and i must make the best of it, but for now Bart was all i needed to think about.

"Oh Jas" Bart mumbled looking confused as to why i was there.

Hi Bart you asked me to meet you here didn't you?

"Yer, of course it was me, who else would it have been? It is only ten to seven i just expected to be the first one here but i don't mind, it just means that i can spend more time with my beautiful girl"

Bart's POV – love him

Shit this is not going well i didn't expect Jasmine to be here now what am i gonna do i have her present outside and it is raining, it will get ruined.

Jas, i say becoming all touchy feely and sensitive, with totes ain't Bart McQueen. But Jasmine just brings out that side to me.

Well i was wondering as it is Christmas Eve and all that i thought we could, as we won't see each other tomorrow. Probably, but only if you wanted to.

"Bart, i don't know, now did you bring anything with you?"

Oh no i didn't mean that Jas i am disappointed that you think so little of me, i meant Christmas presents.

"oh right ok you are lucky i brought it with me cus i wasn't sure but Seth thought i should as tomorrow is a day for family and i said you were family but he just kept on and on so i gave in and brought it with me"

Good i am so glad you did, yours is outside. And after the gift exchange we could always you know!"

And for saying that i get a punch in the arm, quite a hard punch i might add for a girl, then again Jasmine Costello, my girlfriend isn't your average, brainless slapper like some girls i know...

Jasmine's POV - its totes impossible not to love her when she is Jasmine or Jason.

I had a really hard time trying to find Bart a present, we have only been together again for a few weeks and i wasn't really sure on where he stood on the whole presents giving kind of thing, it had just never seemed like something he would do with people. I seem to recall i never got a Christmas present off him before and the birthday present he got me, well actually thinking about that, it was probably at the time the best present i could have ever wanted - he actually changed my name for me, legally to Jason, mum was furious and well that made Bart all the more happy. So anyways enough about the past let me concentrate on the present and Christmas Eve 2012, so Bart left the shack immediately and came back seconds later only this time with a largish sort of Christmas bag and i produced from behind where i was sitting, a small box.

Bart's POV - sorry for all the changes it just seems easier this way xx

I left the shack and brought back seconds later a larger than average Christmas bag with Jas's present inside and then she produced a very tiny little box, i know that you aren't supposed to give to receive and all that shit but i just couldn't help feeling a tad disappointed as i had gone to so much effort and it didn't look like she had, she may have found it hard to buy for me, but i think it was probably increasingly harder for me to buy for her, she wasn't girly and all that so make up, jewellery and clothes were out of the question so it had really stumped be for what to give her as a Christmas present. Our first Christmas as a couple i wanted it to be special, no drama, just a normal Christmas, well as normal as can be with all that has happened to us.

Jasmine's POV - i don't know what to say now except, i can't believe she/he isn't in the show anymore.

Right back to the presents. So we switch presents our hands brush slightly as we exchange gifts, i don't think i have ever been happier in my entire life. Which granted probably isn't the hardest to be happy with but still. Ok so me and Bart tossed a coin to see who would open theirs first. Bart took a coin from his pocket and flip it up in the air.

"Tails" Bart shouted

Well i supposed i get heads then i wanted tails, i whined.

"Tough shit girly" Bart laughed with happiness.

"it is tails Jas so i win and i want you to open yours first, as i will be the gentlemen. As the saying goes, lady's first" he said smugly.

Well ok and i carefully pull apart the bag, there are two presents inside and a card, we all go for the card first don't we? We don't care about it, we are just trying to prove we aren't rude. It is a beautiful card, a Christmas tree is on the front with small, fake, diamonds incrusted with the tree and above the tree the gold lettering reads MERRY CHRISTMAS JASMINE. It must have cost him so much and it was wonderful, i could have died right then, he had really gone to so much effort for me and i was dreading this thinking it was gonna be something crap and stupid, like a fez and a bowtie.

I took the smaller present in both of my hands and took a long hard look at it, it was a small box shape and i had no clues as to what it could be, however there was a huge smile on Bart's face so it must be something i like – that is what i thought at the time and i was right. I carefully started to undo the wrapping paper.

"Oh my god jasmine just rip it off"

Fine if that's how you want it. And i started to claw at the paper with my nails, once the paper was off i opened the box and there was another smaller box inside, it was a mobile to be precise a Samsung galaxy mini, a phone i had seen last week in the shop window and said how much i wanted it. I lifted the other present of the bag it was much heavy than the last one, so i ripped of the paper and inside was a beautiful photo frame filled with all different pictures of me and him and some of me and my family too. There was a lovely picture of me, mum and Seth that i had completely forgotten had even existed.

Oh Bart it... they are the best presents i have ever gotten, they are so wonderful. Mwah i gave him a kiss on the lips to show my appreciation for the gifts, it must have taken him so long to find them and prepare them. And i loved them.

Now for your present and card i flung a small envelope at him, he ripped it open and saw a card, just a plain Christmas card nothing special it is only a card after all. But then he opened the box i could see his little face filled with disappointment as he saw there was a piece of card with some words printed on it and a smaller box, he shook the lid off the small box and into his hands fell a set of keys and he gingerly picked up the piece of card and read it out load, go to the place of our first kiss, and all your Christmas wishes will come true. he stood up slowly and then ran out of the door, i grabbed my wonderful Christmas present and followed behind him.

He ran to the place where he had first kissed me right beside the graffiti Mitzeee is fat, still there after all these years, ah memories. He saw Jono coming out of the shadows alongside Neil carrying a huge package.

So, I said i was speaking to Jono and Neil the other day and discovered something, and what your ultimate Christmas present was, i asked Myra about it and she said she didn't have enough money, but i said i did and she told me to go for it and gave me all the information i needed. So BART MCQUEEN i JASMINE COSTELLO present to you your 2012 Christmas present. Drum roll please.

And with that Neil started to make a drumming sound on Jono's head.

"Cut it out Neil, we gotta go now and leave the lovebirds to it."

Bye then, thanks for all your help guys.

"No probs Jas, any friend of Bart's is a friend of mine and i think you know what i mean" he laughed.

I am good with just Bart thanks i don't need you as well. I laughed as well that was well... Jono.

So Bart open your present then please i am dying to see your face!

"Ok alright quit nagging me, i am about to"

So Bart opened his present and became speechless, literally no words came out at all, for i had purchased, as his Christmas present something he dearly wanted. I shall give you a clue, he once left one by the side of the road and his way to London. That is correct, i had brought him a brand new scooter for his Christmas and the look on his face when i gave him that small box and the look now, i the main reason why i brought the scooter and why i gave it to him like this.

Carl's POV - back to this 'lovely' man

Carl at this moment in time is walking across a bridge.

Ok so maybe i did regret all i had done, but was this a good idea. Yes it is, i convinced myself it is best for everybody. After speaking to Jas, Riley and Mitzeee i realised something, something very important. Probably the most important thing i have ever thought.

Now this next bit is in the form of a letter or a few letters.

Dear Riley, Gem, Jasmine and Seth.

After speaking to jasmine via email the other day i decided to come back to England for Christmas but it is clear to me now that none of you really want much to do with me anymore, and for that i am deeply sorry. You are all grown up now and do not need me anymore, not that you ever really needed me, i only ever made your lives hell and for that i am also sorry just please remember i did it because i love you and for that reason and that reason only i love you. I just need to spend time with the one person that i love and always have and who loved me no matter what i did, they stuck by me and i think it is about time that i repay that favour. Remember i will always love you your my kids and always will be. Enclosed you will find 4 letters. 1 to each of you. Love you always no matter what.

Dad xx

Riley,

I know that we aren't on the best of terms at the moment and i am sorry as it was completely my fault and i know and can see very clearly that you have moved on with your life, please try and find it in yourself to forgive Mercedes as you do have a child together. And i have to say congrats to you and Mitzeee despite what you may think i always knew you two would end up together and for that i am so happy, you are perfect for each other. Don't lose her Riley she is one amazing woman, after the baby is born, please put your mum's engagement ring to good use. Love you and sorry.

Dad xx

P.S hope the footie pans out the way YOU want, not my dreams they are yours do what you want.

Gem,

I don't really know what to say, just that i am sorry for all i did to try and break you and Liam up. And that i am pleased you have moved on and are married now. I love you and always will.

Dad xx

Seth,

Dear dear Seth, i love you so much and i am desperately sorry for the way i have treated you these past years. You were right, when you were a decent person and i hope to god you always will be. I do hope you can forgive me i love Seth so much.

Dad xx

Jasmine,

My little baby girl, this is the hardest of all the letters to write, as i have said to you before i am very sorry about the whole Jason thing. I should have tried harder and accepted you sooner. I love you remember that, and i hope you can find it, in that huge heart of yours to forgive me. And i hope that you and Bart have a wonderful life together. (Pass the letter enclosed to Bart) i love you so much forgive me, all i want is for you to be happy.

Dad xx

Bart McQueen,

What i am about to say will not shock you, look after my baby girl and remind her often how much i love her, because what i am about to do should fix everything. I don't know what you thought of me a few years back, but here is what i thought of you. You were a criminal and were not good enough for my daughter. But now i can see clearly how happy you make her, so welcome to the family and treat her well.

Carl Costello.

I am ready. I think. No i know i am, i am ready to be with my wife now. I miss her so much, more than i ever thought imaginable and i can't live without her, goodbye.

And with those last thoughts Carl lets go of the bridge and plunges into the cold waters below and sinks down and all the pain is gone, he can now finally be at peace with himself and all he has done in his life, good and bad. Him and his wife are together now forever.
