December 22

MaxPOV

I woke up around 1 the next day with a pounding headache. I stumbled out of the room and downstairs to hear tons of laughter and other loud noises. I rubbed my eyes as I snatched the bottle of Motrin and a glass and filled it with water.

I took the pill and walked back upstairs to get dressed.

I walked downstairs in some ripped jeans, purple top, black and pink converse high tops, my varsity coat, a black wing ring, and my hair in a braid.

Fang was stuck between Ella and Mackenzi talking together. He stood up and walked towards me; he kissed my forehead and I pulled him outside throwing him his coat.

I walked out onto the porch and brushed the dust of snow that was blown onto the porch off the ground and sat down on the swing. It was quiet outside so I was able to think/hear/get over my headache. I leaned my head against Fang's shoulder when he sat down and swung us back and forth slightly.

I took in a deep breath of crisp winter air and shivered slightly against Fang's side.

"Hey, hey Fang" I punched his arm slightly and he looked down at me

"What?"

"One you're it and seventy-two I know a great place to get food and more importantly hot chocolate" I smiled at him

"Ok" He stood up and I followed him off the porch down the two steps onto the un-shoveled path.

I walked next to him and we went through the stop sign and we walked down the road to Main Street. We jogged across the slush filled street and over the snow mounds on the side of the road. Fang followed me down the sidewalk making our way through the occasional passer-by and soon we were at Four Seasons Diner.

It was about a 5 minute in all and a cold one during winter.

Fang held the door open for me and I walked into the '50's diner. I saw a booth in the back corner and we walked over to it and sat down. The look of the diner didn't go with the name but it used to be a '50's diner and the new owners liked the look. Soon a waitress skated over to us and handed us menus.

"Welcome to Four Seasons Diner, I'm Taylor and I'll be your waitress" She said smiling "Can I get you something to drink?"

"I'll have hot chocolate" I said

"I'll have the same" Fang said looking over at me

"Alright, I'll be back with your drinks in a minute" Taylor skated away and back into the kitchen.

"Wouldn't it be cool to have a job where you skated around?" I asked Fang

"Sure, I heard you could get a job at Sonic or the Roller Arena" He replied smirking

"No" I laughed and I looked around the room and saw Taylor carrying two hot chocolates towards us "So what are you getting?"

"Are you ready to order?" Taylor asked setting the mugs down, I looked over at Fang and nodded

"Yes we are" I said politely; Fang raised an eyebrow at my politeness and I rolled my eyes

"What can I get you two?"

"I'll have a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup" I said handing her the menu after she finished writing my menu

"I'll have the BLT" Fang handed her the menu and she nodded and went back to the kitchen

"Since when have you liked tomatoes?"

"Since never I'm taking them off" I laughed and saw an older couple walk into the restaurant and sit down at a table. I waitress who looked like our waitress except with straight brown hair where Taylor had dirty blond curly hair.

"So you're having a BL?"

"Yes" I smirked at him and felt my phone in my pocket go off. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw it was from my mom.

Are you and Fang in town?

I typed back 'yes and Grandma lives in town'. I looked at Fang and sighed.

After five minutes of waiting our food came out, after Taylor left Fang stole a piece of my bacon. I slapped his hand and ate my sandwich. I watched as Fang picked the tomatoes out and handed them to me. I took the tomatoes off my plate and ate them happily.

"I thought you didn't like tomatoes" Fang said taking a bite of his BL(T)

"I don't but I like these tomatoes" I smiled at him and handed one to try "Try it" He took it and tried it and nodded.

"Not that bad" I laughed and let him take some tomatoes off my plate.

We finished our food in silence every now and then talking

"Can I get you desert?" Taylor asked "Here's a desert menu" she handed us the menu and we looked at it "Here I'll let you have a minute"

"Want to share a chocolate malt?" I asked him

"Sure"

Fang and I shared the chocolate malt and when the waitress came to give us the bill I realized I forgot my wallet.

"It's fine I got it" Fang said reading the look on my face I smiled at him

"How much is it?"

"Why should I tell you"

"'Cause I'm gonna pay you back"

"No you are not and its $29.90"

He set the money with a tip on the table and we walked out of the diner.

We started back towards my Grandparents house talking about random things.

"HEY!" Fang yelled after I hit him with a snow ball. He bent down and grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at me.

We were in a snowball fight for at least 2 minutes when I came up behind him and dumped snow on his head. He spun around too fast making both of us fall somehow and he landed on top of me. I felt the snow seep through my jeans and my coat, I shivered and shoved snow in Fang's face and managed to escape on to the porch.

I ran into the house and upstairs with Fang following me I shut the bedroom down and opened the window and jumped.

What the roof is 3 feet down! I shut the window right as I heard Fang come into the room. I hid against the wall and heard talking. The window opened and someone jumped out the window.

I came face to face with Fang. He bent down grabbed snow and shoved it in my face but I jumped in through the window and shut it and locked it. I smiled at Fang and he rolled his eyes. I unlocked it only because I felt like he suffered enough Ohio winter air for the day. And maybe my mom came in the room and told me that we were going to go down to the Court House and take pictures of all the lights. But I changed before I let him inside.

"Thanks" He mumbled changing his pants quickly and we walked out of the room and downstairs to go to the Court House.

December 24

FangPOV

It was Christmas Eve and the 6-year-old and the 3-year-old were going insane. Max and I had to babysit them while the adults went last minute shopping. Max was trying to get Sophie to go to sleep but it wasn't working so Max carried Sophie and Christopher to our room laid them down on the bed and turned off the light and laid down on the bed with them.

Max looked up at me and gave me a look that said 'lay down in the bed now or sleep on the couch'. I walked over and laid down on the bed on the opposite side of Max so we could make faces at each other.

I reached over the side of my side of the bed and felt a blanket and pulled it over all four of us. Sophie and Christopher were quiet so that meant they were asleep.

I faintly heard the door close downstairs and footsteps on the steps. The bedroom door opened and Dr. M smiled at Max and I. She nodded at us and Karen walked into the room and was able to get both sleeping children downstairs without them waking up.

"Good job you too, Karen gave me you guy's pay so here you go" Dr. M put the money on the stand and Max crawled under the covers on the bed and I did the same pulling Max to my chest.

Next Morning

MaxPOV

"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" I jumped at the random scream that came from the bedroom door.

"MAX! FANG! WAKE UP!" Two children jumped on the bed

"I have a question" I looked up at Fang from my comfy sleeping spot

"What 'tis this question?"

"Why does everyone scream your name first then mine?"

"I don't know 'cause they love you"

"Wake up you two!" Christopher shouted

"We are up" I said turning in Fang's arms to face the children that are most likely hyper "what time is it anyway?"

"You're not up until you get out of bed! And its 7" I groaned and took my pillow and put it over my face.

"Pwease get out of bed" I removed the pillow when Sophie said this and hit Fang with the pillow. I smiled at him and sighed

"Fine" I rolled out of the bed and in my clothes from yesterday I followed the two hyper children.

FangPOV

I grabbed the present I didn't put under the tree and stuck it in my pocket it. The door creaked shut and I jogged down the stairs seeing Sophie and Christopher sitting at the tree.

"Sophie and Christopher come sit in here" Their mom said; they got up and ran into the room.

"Well let's let the youngest ones get their presents first" Dr. M smiled; Max stood up from her spot on the couch and walked over to me and pulled me back to the tree so we could hand Christopher and Sophie their gifts.

They opened their gifts; Sophie got Barbies and Barbie clothes and stuff like that and Christopher got cars and the Cars movie. Then Ella got to open her gifts which were random hair/makeup/clothe items.

Soon Dr. M made Max and I sit down on the couch and open our gift Max was opening a box from her mom with Sophie on her lap playing with her Barbie.

Max got the box open and inside the shoe box was a Yin and Yang necklace, a wing heart necklace and wing ring.

"Thanks Mom" She smiled at her mom and set the box aside. Ella handed her another box and Max looked at who it was from

Max pulled the wrapping paper off after looking at the card and who it was from. Max pulled out a black T-shirt and laughed. I read what it said, 'Come at me bro'.

"Thanks Ella" Ella handed her another box and I saw it was from Karen and her family

Sophie helped Max pull the wrapping paper off and pulled out a Taylor Swift CD.

She said her thank you's and soon Ella handed her my two gifts from me. Max unwrapped the first box and pulled out a black leather jacket that I had found at Sears. She started unwrapping the second one and when she pulled the paper off and saw the iPod touch in front of her she turned and smiled at me.

"Thank you" Max said and I nodded at her; Ella handed me my gifts.

MaxPOV

Fang had gotten me and iPod. I can't believe him right now but I'm happy that I got him two things also.

Fang started unwrapping the gifts from me and he saw the black leather jacket and a pair of earbuds laying on top of the jacket. He said thank you and soon the adults got their gifts and we could leave.

Fang and I carried our gifts upstairs and into our room. I sat down on the bed and set everything beside me.

"Try the jacket on" Fang said closing the door

"Okay" I pulled the jacket on and felt something in the pocket.

I put my hand in the pocket and felt a box; I pulled it out and saw that it was a little black box. She looked up at me and I smirked at her.
