Hey :D sorry for the late update :( I've had a serious case of writer's block :| so yeah, here's the next chapter :D

BELLA'S POV

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!" Alice shrieked while I was reading Wuthering Heights…again.

"Oh! Um, yeah. Merry Christmas guys!!!" I said, closing my book and turning to my friends and their blissful faces.

"Merry Christmas Bella!" Hermione said, hugging me from behind. I turned around and hugged her back.

"Merry Christmas Hermione." I said, giving her one tight squeeze then pulling away.

"Bells! Merry Christmas!" Jacob suddenly said, putting his warm hands around my waist. I blushed.

"Merry Christmas, Jake." I said, putting my hands on his and squeezing them.

I turned around, letting go of Jake. I saw Edward being hugged by Rosalie. I stared at them. They looked like a wonder couple. Whoa.

"Bella! Merry Christmas!" Harry said, tapping my back.

"Hey, thanks. Merry Christmas Harry." I said, taking his present.

I remembered I had presents to give, too.

I made my way to the tree in the middle part of the common room to get my presents.

"Here they are." I said to myself as I bent down to get one of them.

"Oh, hey Bella. Merry Christmas by the way." Ginny said, half hugging me, half handing me a present.

"Thanks." I said, handing her one too.

After all the present-giving was done, and everyone was done opening their gifts, Alice stared at me.

"Why won't you open your presents, Bella?"

"Yeah Bella. Why? I'm sure you'll love ours. Made it especially for you." Fred and George said in unison.

"Thanks, but um, I think I'll um, open them in the morning…" I said, remembering the last time I opened a WRAPPED present…

"But why?" Ginny said, averting her gaze from her pair of new boots.

"Oh, um…I just um, d-don't want the 'thing' that happened during my birthday to happen again." I said, remembering my horrid birthday party. I also noticed that the Cullens were staring at me, too.

"Why? What happened?" Ginny said, looking curious.

"Well, um…I…while opening a gift, I um, I got a paper cut and it REALLY hurt." I said. God, I was bad at lying.

"Oh. Well, we'll open them in the morning, won't we, Bella?" Ginny said, smiling warmly at me.

"Of course." I said, yawning.

"Okay! First yawn! Time to go to sleep, guys." Rosalie said, her motherly instincts coming out.

Everyone groaned.

"Rose! C'mon! It's only….2:30 am…okay, yeah, never mind. Goodnight, guys." Ron said, blushing.

"Yeah, I am getting kind of tired." I said, yawning again.

"Sure. Merry Christmas guys!" Hermione said, waving as me, Edward and Jacob left the common room with our presents.

I yawned.

"Do you want me to carry those for you, Bella?" Edward said, offering his hand.

I hesitated. "Uh, sure, thanks." I said, handing Edward all 12 presents.

"Anytime Bella." He said, taking the presents.

Apart from that particular conversation, the rest of the walk was quiet.

I opened the door while my eyes slightly drooped. I was getting sleepy.

"Ah! Finally!" I said, running to my bed then collapsing on it.

"Over excited much. Bells?" Jake said, laughing a little as he took his shoes off and sat down on his bed.

"Yeah, I'm SLEEPY, Jake. Deal with it." I said, emphasizing the word "sleepy".

I hurriedly took my shoes off, then my jacket. And then, I lay down on my bed, closing my eyes and sighing.

"Merry Christmas, Bells. 'Night." Jake said, laying down on his bed, too.

"Yeah, you too." I said, closing my eyes again,

"Er, Merry Christmas, Edward." I said, turning to him.

"Same to you, Bella. Have sweet dreams." He said, smiling at me.

Silence.

"Ahem." I said, waiting for their greeting to each other.

"Merry Christmas, mutt." Edward said coldly.

"See you in the morning, leech." Jacob said in return.

I groaned. They'll have to be friends eventually.

So yeah, review pleas! :D
