Christmas; The happiest time of the year. I was even happier since that very day would be mine and Tom's seven month anniversary, which I was very proud of. We rarely ever fought. We were always happy. We were the "perfect couple", according to Claire.
I smiled happily as I walked into a comic book store with Frankie. A whole row dedicated to Batman was on display. ''Is it me or will Tom love anything on this wall?" I asked with a chuckle. Frankie laughed and nodded. She pointed out a few comics which I bought, since I knew Tom has never read them. We then headed for the music store. I know Tom has tons of guitars, but I wanted to get him one on my own. I knew of one that he has been eyeing for a long time now. I bought it quickly and went back to Frankie's car to put it away.
I went back in and met up with her and the others at the food court. We all went shopping. It was Danny's idea. I mostly think he only suggested it so he could find out what he was getting. We all ate Chinese food, talking amongst ourselves. Tom sat across from me, his hand resting on my knee. I smiled at him when he looked over at me from his conversation with Claire. He smiled abck and squeezed my leg, giving me the good cold chills.
"I have a great idea!" said Dougie, jumping up from the couch where we were having a movie marathon. He turned off the television. Tom groaned, since it was Back to the Future and he seemed to love it no matter how many times (about four billion, actually) he has watched it.
"We should do a Christmas Bash," he suggested. I smiled at him.
"Great idea, Doug!" I said.
"Yeah, it is," agreed Izzy.
"Alright, mate. Lets do it. Who's gonna organize it though?" asked Danny. We all seemed to look at Claire and Frankie at the same time. Claire was all about perfect and Frankie was all about Fashion. Two perfect combinations for a party. They smiled at us and agreed to arrange it all.
"Lets do it Christmas Eve," suggest Claire, then getting into a deep conversation with Frankie about decorations. I laughed and leaned my head on Tom's shoulder. I was happy to be here with the man that I loved and friends that I adored. This Christmas was going to be the best of them all, and not to mention the happiest.
I walked into the small ballroom that Frankie ordered for the party. I was already dressed in a short, white dress. It wasn't elegant, but it wasn't a skanky, club dress either. I was in awe when I saw all the white, red, and green decorations around the room. I had to admit, they did a brilliant job.
Dougie was on Danny's shoulders, putting up the last ortaments as I entered. I laughed at the unbalanced Danny, making Doug wobble back and forth. "Danny, stop moving or I will punch you in the face," threatened Dougie. Danny then purposely made Dougie wobble even more, sending him to fall backwards- on me. I was laughing hysterically with Danny and Dougie, until Frankie and Claire hovered above us. I then realized the bow was now undone, the one Doug was trying to set up. I quickly stood up, grabbing the bow and tyeing it nicely. Danny picked me up on my shoulders and stayed steady the whole time as I set it up. It was either to get Dougie mad or because Frankie was staring him down- I think it was because of Frankie.
"It's perfect!" yelled Claire when we were all finished. Frankie nodded in agreement. They did seem to make a great party team.
The party was soon in full motion. Family, friends, and co-workers all arrived, just as amazed with everything as I was. I was talking to Harry the whole time, not having any idea where Tom was. Harry saw my eyes wandering.
"I'll help you find him," He said, standing up. I nodded and stood up as well. We walked around, both looking in seperate directions. All of a sudden I heard a loud, "Kae! Harry!" from behind. I turned and there was Tom, standing with a girl that could be a supermodel.
I walked over there, rather curious of who the supermodel girl was and why Tom was standing with her. Harry looked a bit uneasy as he watched the girl. Just his expression made me feel the same.
"Kae, this is Audra." introduced Tom. She nodded at me, then looked at Harry.
She smiled while saying, "Hello, Harry. It's nice to see you."
"Same," mumbled Harry, obviously not pleased at all with her being here.
"I was just telling her how McFly is getting back together," explained Tom.
"It's so wonderful," said Audra, grabbing onto his arm and giggling. I clenched my teeth at the site. Another girl all over my boyfriend is something I really didn't want to see- especially when she looked like her!
"Harry, I'm feeling sort of ill. Will you take me home?" I asked. Tom looked at me worried.
"Want me to instead?" asked Tom. Audra's face dropped.
I shook my head. "No, I'm sure Harry doens't have a problem with it." Audra beemed again, pulling Tom a little closer to her.
"Yeah, I'm feeling sort of sick anyway. See you guys later!" called Harry as we walked away.
I waited until we were safely in Harry's car to say anything. I didn't want some randomer eavesdropper going back to Audra, or Tom, saying I was talking about them.
"Who is she?" I snapped as Harry drove off. He sighed.
"Audra is an old...friend of Tom's."
"By friend you mean?"
"First love."
"How come I never heard of her?" I asked. I mean, I was Tom's best friend before girlfriend. Wouldn't I know about his first love?
Harry shook his head no. "This was the year that you went, quote, unquote, missing."
Ah, the year that I ran away from everything and stayed in Brazil. It was a nice year, but very lonely. I got away from life though, which was good. While I was finding myself, I now knew what Tom was doing. No wonder he never talks about that year. When he said "too depressing", I thought he meant because I was gone. But no, it was because of Audra, gorgeous Audra.
"Should I be panicing more than I am right now?" I asked.
Harry was quite for a few minutes. "No.." He trailed off.
"That's very reassuring," I muttered sarcastically.
We were quite for the rest of the ride back to Tom's place. Times like these is when I wish I never moved in with Tom. I mean, if Audra comes back here with him, I think I might cry...or vomit...or both. Just thinking about someone so beautiful, so perfect, being his first love, especially when I wasn't around to witness it, made me actually feel sick to my stomach, making what I said to him true.
I changed quickly into some pajamas and laid down on the couch, flipping through the television channels. I knew it would be hours until I saw Tom again. Something just told me it would be. Just think though. Tomorrow is Christmas. He can't be gone too long, for he promised earlier today that he would devote all of tomorrow to me, not some supermodel. I dozed off, my mind whirling with what would happen next.
A/N: I have two endings in my mind. 1) is happy. 2) is sad and will possibly make any Tom lover cry. I want to go with one because, well, it's happy. But I want to go with two because it's...different. You know? Oh, well. Whatever my fingers type will have to do.
Disclamier: I have now captured Tom. Look out Danny, Dougie and Harry! Bahahaha...Okay. I'm a liar. I only have Tom's used peice of gum he threw out on the ground XD lmao.
