Chapter 14: A Merry Christmas

"Well, what do you say? Would you like to go back to your hometown, to Italy?" the wife asked. Her voice sounded muffled to Feli. Feli was trying his best to make up his mind, but he did not know what to choose. Yes, he wanted to go back. But he does not want to leave. Yes, he wanted to see his new house, but he did not want to leave the house of his Grandpa Roma, where he grew up pretty much his whole life. So how could he appreciate Italy if he could barely even remember it?

Feli's eyes widened. Of course! How could he appreciate Italy if he has never even seen it? His real home is here! His new-found father noticed Feli's movement. "Have you made your decision?" he asked in a soft voice.

Feli looked up for the first time. His hair was matted and his eyes still puffy and red from crying. But there was a smile on his face. "Yes, Father" he said. He no longer felt weird calling his father that way. "I have decided to stay here. Maybe you could buy a house in town and we could visit you for Christmas. How about you, Lovino?" he asked in a cheerful tone. Lovino looked startled, but a smile was planted on his face, too. "Whatever he chooses, I'm having it too" Feli wanted to laugh at the thought that Lovino did not say that the other reason he wanted to stay is because of Antonio.

The wife and her husband looked at each other, and they seemed to communicate with their eyes. Feli guessed that was one of the powers you would get if you got married: talking with only your eyes. After a while of communicating with their eyes, the couple smiled and looked at their 2 sons. "I don't see why not" the wife said. The husband smiled.

…..

It was a beautiful month for Feliciano Vargas, and his older brother, Lovino. Their parents bought a new house 10 minutes away from Grandpa Roma. They got to learn more about each other, and Feli even saw how he looked like when he was a kid. Arthur, Alfred and Kiku were very happy for him and visited his parents too. Antonio came once and Lovino was speechless. It was a fun time altogether.

On Christmas Eve, the Chords Club had a little concert in the home of Feli's parents. They performed among gifts and little armchairs, and their music blended with the smiles on everyone's faces.

And we're driving just as fast as we can
And we're racing to outrun the wind
It's just me and you and you and me
So wild and so young, bright-eyed and free

And we're trying to get out of here
As a small town romance draws ever near
And I swear we're in the movie's
The highlight comes when you kiss me

And the stereo sings our song
And we don't hesitate to sing along

Drive to dream to live we could see the world tonight. Hear the hope tomorrow we could see the world...

And we're miles from the middle of nowhere
And neither of us seems to care
And that's why I love you so-o-o
Shut your mouth girl no one has to know
And times seems to drip like Dali
And neither of us has a place to be
So once and forever tell me all, tell me all of your dreams

And we're driving just as fast as we can
and we're racing to outrun the wind
and the stereo sings our song
we don't hesitate to sing along

Drive to dream to live we could see the world tonight. Hear the hope tomorrow we could see the world...

Drive to dream to live we could see the world tonight. hear the hope tomorrow we could see the world...

"In a few weeks, son, you'll be entering the second semester of High School. It's a pretty tough year. Do you think you can handle it?"

Feli smiled at his father. His brown eyes sparkled, and his auburn hair shone against the light.

"I think I can handle it."
