A/N: I don't own this song. It's by Mariah Carey, and in this instance sang by Olivia Olson in the movie Love Actually. It's a good movie. You should check it out.
I don't want a lot for Christms
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Raven had to close her eyes when the first strains of music reached her ears. The tears that sprang to her eyes were almost too much for her to hide. She tried to open her eyes and concentrate on the talented girl that was singing on the stage at the end of the movie. The whole movie had been a lot to watch. She could sympathize with almost every character in the movie, but the one she connected with the most was the man that was in love with his best friend's wife. She connected with him because he was in love with a woman he knew he never could have.
The entire movie she'd longed to hold Chelsea, and cuddle with her. She longed to run her fingers through that long, wavy auburn hair. She wanted nothing more than to be filled with the scent of strawberry, which was secretly becoming an obsession for her. She knew that would never be, especially since now Chelsea had Ronnie.
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
Raven looked over at Chelsea and wondered for a moment if things would be easier if she and Chelsea just weren't friends anymore. But even as the thought entered her mind, she shoved it out. She needed Chelsea like she needed air to breathe. She would never be able to live without her. She knew if all Chelsea had to offer her was friendship, then she would take it. But that didn't stop it from hurting.
Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's laughter fills the air
Everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me
What I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me
I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Raven wondered if Chelsea was thinking about Ronnie as they watched the movie. She knew Chelsea was all she would be able to think about if she were watching it without her. She looked over at the red haired girl. Tears were spilling down her cheeks. Chelsea always loved a good romantic movie. They always made her cry. It was one of her more endearing qualities.
As the movie ended, Chelsea excused herself, and went into the bathroom to get changed for bed. Raven quickly changed into her pajamas and climbed into her bed. She decided that she wouldn't be able to handle it if Chelsea wanted to stay up all night talking about Ronnie. So she turned over to face the wall, and feigned sleep.
