Chapter Twenty-Nine: Happy
Gramps and Bobby got there two days before Christmas, three days after the prom. Jason had gone over to England to spent some time with his parents, two days after prom and I missed him a lot because we couldn't talk becaue of the long distance. For some reason, I got up late on Christmas to find everyone up drinking coffee in the living room. A few presents were beneath the tree, and I rushed into the room.
"Moring! Merry Christmas!" I yelled, coming into the room. A string of "Good morning"'s and "Merry Christmas"'s were spoken, and I settled down on the floor in front of the tree like a little five year old. "Okay, I hand out the presents." I grabbed one for me from Gramps. It was small, yet heavy box. I opened it, to find a set of silver daggers.
"Thanks Gramps," I said, standing up and kissing him on the cheek. then I went one to more presents. I picked one out for Mom from me. "Here ya go, Mom." I handed it to her. She took it and ripped it open, only to laugh at the contence: two tubes of hair dye, one pink the other blue.
"So you can be like when you met Dad, again," I told her. She thanked me and on went the present opening. I got Dad an old book about myths, Gramps an antique pistol, Bobby a framed picture of his old dog that died years ago. I got a cute top from Mom, and an antique knife from each Bobby, Dad and Uncle D. When all the presents were opened, I sat back and Uncle D frowned.
"Where's my present?" he asked, just as the doorbell rang.
I smiled. "Go get that will you?"
He growled and got up. I followed him and stood in the hall. He walked to the door and opened it, revealing Jo.
"Merry Christmas!" she said, smiling.
"What are you doing here?" Uncle D asked, just looking at her.
"Abby asked me to be your present, I didn't think you'd mind."
Rather than answereing, he pulled her inside and kissed her. I smiled and clapped as the others came into the hall. Uncle D turned away from Jo and came over to me, pulling me into a hug and lifting me up off the ground.
"Thanks Abby," he said. "You're the best neice."
I laughed. "Duh! I'm your only neice!"
So, Jo and Uncle D got a hotel room to stay in until after the holidays and it was awesome to see him so happy. I helped Mom do her hair Christmas so she looked like her old, young self again. Then I took Bobby to the pet store where he bought a white boxer puppy. The day before New Years, I was sitting in the living room, flicking threw the channels when there was a knock on the door. I was the only one home so I got up and answered it. It was Jason!
"Oh my god!" I yelled, throwing my arms around him, and pulling him into the house. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too," he said, just before I let go of him and gave him a kiss. He kissed me back then stopped suddenly.
"Is your dad or uncle around?" he asked.
I shook my head, laughing as I kissed him again.
A/N: I just wanted you to know, that I have a very short attention span and it's amazing that I've kept up with this story for this long. I will finish it I promise, but it will be a shorter version than what I intended I believe. It may have ten or so more chapters.
