Theresa woke up and everything that had happened came flooding back to her mind. Even though she was closer to her three brothers now, she still did not feel at home. Everything that she considered home was still in New York, hopefully thinking of her too. She tired to get him out of her mind because she was back home and she was in her bed, in her house, in Harmony. Something just felt off though, had she really been away so long that even Harmony couldn't be home to her. She quickly got dressed and head down stairs. There were pictures of her family ever where's. A family she thought didn't love her any more, a family she thought hated her. Don't they always home is where your heart is? Then why doesn't my heart feel at home? Why do I feel like I don't belong here any more?
"Theresa?" Miguel screamed from the kitchen.
She jumped she had thought that no one was awake, she had hoped no one was awake. She headed into the kitchen.
"Come on, eat something quick, we've got to go and I'm driving." Miguel said as he took a big gulp of orange juice.
"Miguel, we've got a lot of time, what's the hurry?"
"If you want to talk to Whitney, we've got to leave now before she starts tennis practice."
"It's not even daylight outside."
"Yes, well that doesn't really matter to her father, never has."
"Right, so not that much has changed, I see."
"Yeah he still plans on her being the tennis star he never could be."
"And she's got no choice but to be what her father wants." Theresa said sadly.
"But now that you're here, you may be able to help her not turn into her father."
"Why would I?"
"She's not happy, that's all Simone and Chad ever say, she hates tennis now and her father doesn't care."
"But what could I do, I'm the x-best friend remember." Theresa pointed out.
"You ultimately her only best friend and you can't lose a best friend no matter what happens."
"Really, does that apply to Kay?" Theresa asked as she grabbed her purse.
"Come let's go." Miguel said ignoring her question and running to the car.
"So what exactly am I going to say to her?" Theresa asked Miguel.
"I started with saying I'm sorry, that always helps."
"But I didn't do anything wrong."
"You sound like Kay."
"Yeah well Kay technically didn't do anything wrong either. I should know she spilled her guts to me and she… Actually you know maybe you should tell her your sorry."
"Why?" Miguel asked.
"Because you told her she didn't deserve to live, that you couldn't love her, that you weren't best friends. No one deserves to hear that."
"She told you all that huh?"
"Not to make me hate you if that's what you're thinking. She was very depressed one day and it slipped. I don't think you meant it by the way. You thought Charity was dying and you love her so she said something's to the person who you thought purposely caused it."
"She did didn't she?"
"Not on purpose no, but you thought she didn't you?"
"Yeah, I didn't know what else to think."
"That must of hurt thinking you're best friend tired to hurt you."
"It did."
"Then how do you think she felt? You were hurt best friend to and you lost all faith in her in a second, you choose the girl you were in love with over her."
Miguel pulled into a parking spot. "You two most of talked a lot."
"Yeah we did."
"I don't think I can." Miguel said getting out of the car.
"Can't what?"
"Can't talk to her, it was easier to blame her for the accident, to be able to think she was really mean and that I had a reason to do say what I said. Now that she is back and I am not sure, I want her here."
"Ok so Christmas, what are our plans?" Resa asked Kat as she came out of her bedroom.
"We're actually celebrate Christmas why?" Kat asked.
"Because it's Christmas and it's a wonderful holiday." Resa said as she took out a Santa hat from behind her back and put it on Kat's head.
"Get that idiotic red thing off my head or I'm going to make you eat it!" Kat screamed.
"Ok chill!" She said as she took it off. "So where's your holiday spirit?"
"I left it in Harmony." Kat said sitting down on the couch.
There was a loud knock on the door. "Hey open up!" They heard Trey scream.
"What's is your boyfriend screaming about? And it better not have anything to with Christmas!" Kat said as she went to the door and opened it. "You know Trey, she gave you a key please use…." Kat stopped mid sentence.
"Happy Christmas ladies!" Ricky said as him and Trey carried in a Christmas tree.
"Why is that big tree coming into my house?" Kat asked mad.
"It's a Christmas tree." Ricky said confused.
"Um, guys I thought you were going to give me a little while to warm her up to idea?" Resa asked confused.
"It gets cold out side. Why what's wrong?" Trey asked.
"She claims she left her Christmas spirit at home." Resa said.
"I thought this was home?" Ricky asked.
"It's not." Kat said mad.
"Um guys, can I speak to Kat for a minutes alone?" Resa asked.
"Yeah sure, we'll be playing in the snow. I guess." Trey said dragging Ricky out.
"Ok, Kat what's really wrong?" Resa asked.
"This is Christmas, a time we spend with out family. But our family isn't here."
"No, they are." Resa said,
"What are you blabbing about?"
"What I "blabbing" about is that our family is here. You, me, Trey and Ricky that is our family here. We'll spend Christmas with them and it's be the best Christmas we've ever had. We'll be spending it with people we really love and who really loves us."
"But it won't be the same."
"Nothing's ever the same but this is our home now and we're going to act like it. Please for me at least?"
"Why not?" Kat said giving up. "So if we're family then you're my sister?"
"Sure, why not." Resa said laughing.
