Hi! Sorry for the wait! I'm not going to make any excuses for my absence but yes, here is chapter 5! Thanks for all the reviews, favorites, and alerts this story has gotten! It means a lot! I was texting my friend while writing this (you know who you are) so that is one of the reasons it took me a little longer for me to update. So on to chapter 5! :]

Disclaimer: I'm not going to say it because you all know I don't.

Chapter 5

E.P.O.V

I'm sitting on a tree branch that's right on top of an ice skating rink in the Minnesota Park and I'm enjoying the silence until I hear people calling me name. I turn around carefully on the branch and see Logan, Kendall, Carlos, and James below me on the ground. I smile and ask, "How's the air down there?"

"Get down here!" James says firmly.

I roll my eyes, "You're not my father."

"We are not having a Luke Skywalker/Darth Vader moment! Now get down!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Please?"

"Fine, since you asked so nicely." I huffed and then jumped down from the tree.

"Happy now?" I asked, walking over to him.

"Very. What we're doing up there anyways?" James asked.

"Waiting for you guys to find me." I said

"Why?" Kendal asked.

"Because I wanted to go ice skating." I said, reveling the bag that held my skates.

They all looked at each other and then at me. They all nod in approval and then we went off to skate.

In a few short minutes I was skating circles around the rink. "You pretty fast for someone wearing figure skates." Carlos said while skating next to me.

I abruptly stopped and turned around to look at him. "Oh, you're a hockey player that thinks they're faster just because they wear skates without a toe pick." I said annoyed.

"Well, kind of." Carlos said unsure of how to answer.

"We kind of all of us thought that." Logan said skating next to us with Kendall and James nodding in agreement.

"Well I'm about to prove you all wrong! Carlos you are the fastest right? Well let's race to the other side."

"Let's do it!" he said.

"On your marks…Get set….Go!" Logan shouted.

I bolted across the rink and before I knew it, I was at the other side of the rink with Carlos puffing behind me. "She's fast." Carlos said before collapsing on top off the wall.

I chuckled and looked at James, Kendall, and Logan who were staring at me like I had grew another head or something. "Did I prove my point or do I have to race the rest of you guys?" I asked.

"NO!" They all said and then skated quickly away.

(Christmas Day)

E.P.O.V

I woke up to the noise of Katie screaming about something and then jumping my bed. "Come on Lizzy get up! It's Christmas! My mom rented a room and there's food and presents!" She said jumping up and down.

I sat up on the bed and said,"Yes but, how do we wake up sleeping beauty over there."

Without another word she got off my bed and jumped on James's bed and said, "James there's a sale on 'Cuda!"

In a few minutes he was sitting up saying, "'Cuda? Where's the sale?"

"There isn't one. But since you're up, it's Christmas! Come on James there's presents!" Katie said getting off his bed and throwing our robes at us.

I put on my robe and slippers then followed Katie the room she was talking about with James right behind me. When we walked into the room, we welcomed by the scent of really good smelling foods. "Good morning!" Mrs. Knight said, she was sitting on a couch next to Kendall and the couch was by a small Christmas tree with presents surrounding it.

I took a seat in between Logan and Carlos on another couch and James took a seat next to Kendall while Katie handed out presents. When most the presents were handed out, Katie came up to me with a small box in her hands. "This is for you!" Katie said, handing me the box.

I read the tag and it said: To: Lizzy

From: Logan, James, Carlos, and Kendall

"You guys didn't have to get me anything!" I said

"Just open it. You'll like it." James said.

I tore off the wrapping paper and then open the box to revel a charm bracelet with four little charms. One was an ice skate, one was a Christmas tree, one was a smiley face, and one was a moon. I picked it up and put it on my wrist. "Thank you so much! This is the best Christmas ever!" I said smiling.

"You're welcome!" They all said in unison.

(New Years)

E.P.O.V

"Now get close to that someone special and get ready to count down to the New Year!" the reported said on TV.

We were in Mrs. Knight's and Katie's room and we all had poppers in our hands and hats on our heads. It was sadly the last night that we get to spend here and tomorrow we are flying back to L.A. James stood next to me as the countdown began. "10…"

"…9…."

"…8…."

"…7…."

"…6…."

"…5…."

"…4…."

"…3…."

"…2…."

"…1…."

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone cheered blowing off poppers.

Then James leaned down next to me and kissed me on the cheek and said, "Happy New Year!"

I looked and said, "What was that for."

"I guess I feel like you are my sister." He said and then walked away.

James Diamond is one strange person.
