Blue Christmas
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine, as usual.
A/N: Read and review, please!
I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.

On a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if
You're
not here with me
All alone on Christmas Eve, Simon sat in his dark apartment. He heard his cell phone ringing and, suspecting that it was a family member, didn't even bother to answer it. Now his phone was beeping, signaling that he had a voice message. Ignoring it and making his way through the darkness, Simon laid down on his couch, his mind clouded with anger and self-pity. Why…he wondered, why…? I gave her everything, EVERYTHING, she wanted! I went bankrupt for that damn ring! She forced me into moving the wedding date up, even though I didn't want to! I got into fights with my parents because of her! "All of that," Simon softly whispered to himself, "for nothing." What kind of nerve does she have to cheat on me, after everything I did for her! And at Christmastime! She couldn't let me enjoy Christmas, at least!

While Simon was feeling down in an empty apartment, the rest of his family was together and enjoying themselves at Lucy's house. Everybody was sitting down to dinner and helping themselves to the delicious meal that Lucy had spent all day cooking. Although they were all surrounded by love and family, not one of the Camdens could stop their minds from wondering where Simon was and what was wrong with him. All Annie could think about was how depressed Simon had sounded on the phone the previous night. Meanwhile, Eric was twitching in his seat, itching to take a drive to Simon's apartment. But, this was impossible for his wife, suspecting he might try to do so, was keeping his car keys hostage. Matt, Sarah, Mary, and Carlos were disappointed that they would not be able to see Simon, because, living across the country, they rarely ever got the chance to see him. Kevin, on the other hand, suspected that Simon might be in trouble with the law, and, siding with his father-in-law, wanted to go visit Simon. Lucy, however, following her mother's example, had robbed Kevin of his driving privileges for the night. Even if she had her license, there was no need for Ruthie to take a drive in heavy traffic just to find out what she already knew. Ruthie knew something had most likely happened with Rose. If he had been in any real trouble, Ruthie knew he would have come crying home to her mother and father. That's just the kind of guy Simon was. But, nonetheless, the Camden family was worried about him.

Simon couldn't take it anymore. He felt as if he might explode. The holidays were a time for family, and he couldn't stand being away from his. If anything was going to help him get over his breakup with the woman he loved and who he thought loved him in return, it was being with his family. Grabbing his car keys and jacket, Simon ran out of his apartment and to his car. Destination: Lucy's house.
I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.
A/N: Short, I know! Sorry for the Rose fans (if there are any), I just can't stand her! Read and Review! The last chapter will be posted sometime next week. I'm trying to work on my other 7th Heaven FanFic, Trouble in Paradise, at the same time, so sorry for the wait.
