-Thus, the story begins on a warm, sunny day in December. The 24th of December to be exact...-
"Yea, Clive deserves to be with his wife and family at Christmas," sighed Virginia leaning back in the chair and setting her napkin down while looking out the window of the restaurant.
"What about my wife an' family?" asking Gallows shoving more rolls into his mouth. "An' yoChewur gulp family?"
"What wife?" Virginia laughed. "Besides," she continued. "I've already sent a Christmas card home saying that I couldn't be there." Gallows swallowed another mouth full of food.
"But what 'bout Shane and Granny?" he asked, and then paused. Thinking hard he said, "But everyone deserves to be home and surrounded by family at Christ-" Virginia looked at him scornfully and then glanced at Jet. Jet was poking his cold food with his fork, not feeling obligated enough to take part in the conversation.
"But like ah was gonna say," recovered Gallows hastily. "Was that you guys are exactly like family, and that I would be spendin' it with y'all." Gallows smiled and Virginia beamed with satisfaction.
"Alright!" exclaimed Virginia happily. "It's just the three of us then! Let's rent a hotel room and bunk out in this town for Christmas holidays!"
"Here here!" said Gallows raising his water glass.
"Sound good Jet?" asked Virginia.
"Whatever," Jet muttered, getting up from the table and walking out of the restaurant.
"I'm sorry," said Gallows apologetically. "I keep forgettin'..."
Virginia watched Jet through the window as he sat on a bench and fed his dinner roll to the pigeons. "It's fine," sighed Virginia, watching Jet shoo the pigeons away with his foot now that he was through feeding them.
"Poor kid," Gallows said looking out the window with Virginia. "Doesn't have a real family or a home. Can ya even imagine?"
Virginia shook her head. "No," she said slowly. "No I couldn't."
"Well," said Gallows while getting out of his seat and stretching his arms. "My gift to y'all is payin' for the hotel." Virginia looked up at him.
"I thought we agreed no gifts!" she exclaimed.
"Yea, well, tough shiat." And with that, Gallows left the diner, leaving Virginia to pay for the check.
Later...
Jet was sitting in front of the roaring fireplace of the hotel. It was late so everyone else had been asleep for a while. He was nodding off to sleep himself when he heard...
"Hey Jet."
He turned to see Virginia smiling at him. "Hey," he replied.
"I thought you and Gallows were asleep," said Virginia sitting down beside him. He shrugged. "You don't mind celebrating Christmas with us do you?" asked Virginia. Jet shrugged again.
"I've never really celebrated Christmas period," Jet said looking away from where Virginia sat, trying to avoid eye contact.
Virginia looked at Jet for a moment and then rummaged through her bag behind her. "I know we agreed no gifts," she said while standing. "But I figured..." Virginia trailed off while handing him a relatively small package wrapped in plain brown paper. Jet took it hesitantly and stared blankly at it. "Well," she said awkwardly. "Open it if ya want. I'm goin' to bed." And, with that, Virginia left the room, not saying another word.
Jet stared at the package and slowly ripped off the brown paper. Inside was a journal. It was a simple hard-back journal with blank pages. All except for one that is. He opened the book to the first page where there was written:
'Jet,
May you never forget your
dearest and closest memories.
Love,
Virginia'Jet smiled and closed his journal. "Thank you," he said aloud. Virginia smiled from behind the landing of the stairs and entered her room.
"You're welcome Jet," she whispered softly before getting into her bed and falling asleep with a pleasant smile implanted on her lips.
So, what did you think? Leave a review to tell me!
