December 25th

Christmas Day!

"Merry Christmas!" Nikki jumped on the bed.

"Ugh I'm awake!" I rolled out of bed.

"Come on Auntie Madie!" Weston grabbed my hand.

"Ok I'm coming." I picked Weston up and walked down the stairs. "Oh look at all the presents Weston, did Santa Clause come last night."

"Yeah!" He ran up and grabbed some boxes.

"Merry Christmas Madison," Jack handed her a box.

"Thanks, what is it?" I shook the box.

"Open it."

I smiled and ripped open the box. Inside was her one of her favorite movies, "10 Things I Hate About You"

"Aw thanks how did you know."

"I told him." Nikki smiled.

"Well here Jack I got you this." I handed him a box.

"Thanks." Jack ripped it open. "OH! Yes!" Jack took out a whole bunch of cds.

"I got you some Hendrix too, ya know to work on your guitar skills."

"Hey your opening presents with out us." Lucy, Vinnie and Markie walked into the living room.

"No come on in." I got up and handed them each a box.

After a while Bobby and Angel came in.

"So Jack did you give Nikki her present yet?" Bobby looked over towards his brother.

"No not yet." Jack smiled.

"What you get me! I want to know!" Nikki was excited.

"Yeah little brother give her the present you got her." Angel smiled.

"Oh well before that, here Angel I got this just for you." I got up and handed him his present.

"Ooo, what did you get me." Angel shook the box, and then ripped open the paper. Inside his box was two sweat shirts and a couple of cds.

"You know something nice to keep you warm."

"Aw thanks." Angel got up and hugged me.

"Jack oh my god!" Nikki screamed in excitement. Nikki held up the necklace for everyone to see. It was the locket necklace that she always wanted.

"Hey cool I like this. Thanks Bobby." Markie held up a sweatshirt.

"No problem kid."

"Madison this one's for you." Lucy handed me a gift.

"Thanks lets see. To Madison, From Bobby, hum I wonder what it is." I opened the box, inside was a cloth wrapped in something else. I carefully unwrapped it to find a gun. It was gorgeous with a white handle. I flipped it over to see my intials ingraved in the side.

"Open the barrel." Bobby looked towards me.

I opened the barrel and something fell on to the floor. I reached down and picked up a necklace. It was a locket just like my sisters.

"Thank you." I walked over to Bobby and kissed him.

Later that day Sofi came over. It felt like normal again, everything was just going fine.

That day my mother called and wished us all a Merry Christmas. She sounded so alone, I almost felt bad for her.

During dinner as usual the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." Lucy got up and answered the door.

"She's getting really comfortable here huh." Bobby smirked.

"Madison, Nikki!" Lucy sounded scared.

Nikki and I walked over to the door to see Nick.

"What are you doing here?" I was pissed.

"Well Merry Christmas to you to cousin. I was just dropping this off for you. My mom made it, you know an old Christmas tradition." He handed me a pie.

"Thanks, Merry Christmas." I began shutting the door.

"Nick hey man what's going on." Markie walked to the door.

"Hey wow everyone's here for Christmas huh."

"Yeah well it was nice seeing you, good bye." I shut the door.

"Why you do that Madison."

"He's no good Markie, Lucy whatever you do don't answer the door." I walked away. I knew that if Nick came here, my dad wasn't too far behind.

The rest of the day everyone played with their new toys and gadgets. It was nice and peaceful, I went to bed that night feeling so great.

"Bobby." I rolled over to hug him.

"Yeah," He rolled over to face me.

"Thank you, I love you." I kissed him.

"Well thank you!" He kissed me again. "I love you Madison."

After we made love, I laid in his arms. I knew what I had to do next.
