I got help from Chad to move my guitar, since it was in a glass case it was kinda heavy, to upstairs. Once it was up there, I rested it on the wall of our room.

"Your pretty lucky Ry-Ry." Chad said, staring at the guitar.

"Yeah." I said, it was a beautiful guitar. It was red with the edges being black, All U Cared's logo on it, in fact I think its vintage guitar, they don't make ones like this one anymore. I sighed, looked over to my bed, which was holding all my other presents. From Chad, I got sheet music, I told him thank you, but called him cheap later, he shrugged but he knew I appreciated it. From Monte I got a digital picture frame, holding pictures of our group. From Matt I got guitar picks with cool designs on them. From Aiden I got a USB flash drive in a shape of a guitar. Looking at all this stuff I decided to call Sam and Carly. It rang a few times before Carly answered.

'Freddie! Your on speaker!' She said, voices in the background.

"Hey, Merry Christmas everyone!"

'You too! Did you open my gift?'

"Yeah, thanks for the PearTunes card!"

'No problem! Sam! Sam, put that down!' I chuckled, she was probably trying to eat the food.

"Did you like my gift?"

'Huh? Oh, yes! It's a really nice necklace.'

'Yo, Fredweird, thanks for leaving without saying goodbye!'

"You were asleep, I'm not gonna wake you up, I didn't want to die young."

'Huh, well...You left, I didn't get to give you my present to you.'

"You actually got me something?"

'Yeah, why wouldn't I?'

'Sam! There's another present for you, it's from Freddie!' Spencer said in the background.

"Hope you like it." Carly and I continued talking for a few seconds until, Sam screamed; 'BACON!' I got her the Bacon of the World subscription for a year. It came with Belgian bacon, I had a feeling she'd like it.

'I love it, Freddifer!' I smiled, I missed them. Chad looked at me, his eyes widened, and ran out of the room. I shrugged a little, and went back to the conversation.

"Great. I had a feeling you would." I talked about how we spent it up here, and how were gonna spend New Years. They talked about how Spencer managed to set on fire the ham, twice. I laughed at that. By that time, Chad with Monte came up to the room. I nodded at them, they did the same. After a while, I mouthed the word 'What?'

"Ry-Ry we need to talk to you." Monte said, playing with the string on his gloves.

"Kinda busy." I said to them.

'What?' Carly said on the other end.

"Not you." I said to Carly.

"It's important." Chad added, I sighed.

"Fine, I'll call you later." I said the last to Carly, hitting the end button, I looked over to them.

"It's about Carly and Sam." Monte said.

"I know you guys don't really like them, buy can you guys back off a little?" I asked.

"Not like that. I mean, inviting them over to spend New Years." Chad said.

"What? Are you serious?" I jump up from the bed I was sitting, on my face probably lit up.

"I've already talked to our parents, they thought it was a wonderful idea." Monte said, he smiled. I smiled too, before I went in to hug them.

It was December 30th, Sam, Carly, and Spencer were all on the way to the cabin, while the guys and us were just chilling on the couch, Aiden and Matt were playing a video game. When the door bell rang, which makes me wonder why a cabin, which is only used twice a year has a doorbell, but hey, who knows? My mom answered the door, the rest of the mothers were in the kitchen, they were always there. The fathers were in the den, across the cabin. The kids in the main living room.

"Spencer! Carly! Sam! Happy New Year!" My mom greeted them with great happiness, which is weird, considering how she treated them when I got hit by a taco truck. The guys and Skilar stayed in place while I stood up to greet them as well.

"Freddie! This place is amazing!" Carly said, a giant smile on her face. I smiled, gave her hug, Sam surprisingly gave me a hug too. Spencer was sleeping with us, Sam and Carly in the girls room. So, shortly after they got set up in their rooms. We invited them to go sledding.

"Sledding! YAY!" Aiden smiled, we were all dressed in our warm clothes. Aiden, Matt, Chad were carrying the sleds, while we walked to the hill that was used for sledding. Chad set his sled on the top of the hill.

"Come on Sky!" He said, Skilar smiled, and joined him. In the past week, Skilar and Chad have gotten really close, I think they're about to take the next step. Skilar was in front, Chad in the back, his arms protectively around her waist, how come that Chad always ends up with his arms around his waist. I pushed them off, and they took off down the hill. Matt went uncomfortably with Carly, we only have 3 sleds so we have to share between 8 people. After sledding for an hour, started to have a snowball fight, apparently Sam and Carly didn't have many questions about Matt or Monte, they said we met in our old neighborhood, and were friends for a long time. They didn't need more of an explanation. When the cold reached deep into our bones we went back inside for hot chocolate.

We were all in our bedroom. Just talking, about random stuff.

"Okay, where's Sky?" Aiden asked, looking at me.

"In her room, I think." I said.

"Apparently she feels safe around Sam." Matt said. I nodded. Spencer was downstairs with the parents, his bed was taken out, and next to my guitar, that I got from my father.

"Wait, she said that she'd beat Sam up for breaking my wrist." I said, I ran my hand on the cast, I have a doctor's appointment to see if I could use a brace and take off the cast.

"She's not gonna beat her up now, Sam is her only protection against Neaveh." Matt said.

"True, but come on there's got to be a confrontation between them, let's get a mud pit!" Aiden said.

"No, dude. How do you feel spending new years with Sam and Carly?" I asked.

"We don't care, we came up with the idea to invite them." Matt said.

"Yeah, we don't care, even if we don't like them." Chad said.

"Why?" I asked, they looked at me with stares that said, 'Are You Serious? Can't You Tell?'

"Carly is a stuck up nosy bitch, and Sam, well, Sam is a demon who no one will ever love but you." Matt said, in his monotonous voice.

"One of you might end up dating Carly." I say, I smile at their faces, which expressed the looks of disgust.

"Except for you." I point to Chad.

"Why?" He flipped his hair. "Is it these charming good looks?" He winks.

"No, you have to date Skilar, If you don't I'll kick your face." He flinches at the last part then smiles brightly with a sparkly look in his eyes.

"You just gave me permission to date Skilar!" Chad smiled.

"Yes not to break her heart." I said, glaring at him, he gulps.

"Alright boys!" Matt's mom said while she walked in with Spencer. "Time to get to sleep."

"Were not five. We can sleep whenever we want." Matt retorted.

"To sleep. Now." She said, turning to Spencer. "Goodnight." She touched his arm flirtatiously, clicked the light off when the room.

"You don't want to mess with that, Spencer, she's been passed around more than AIDS." Matt said, before shifting in his bed, and we decided to go to sleep early, if you call going to sleep at 2 am is early.

Sorry, I took soooo long to update. I have no excuse other than I'm lazy, sorry. When the next chapter comes up the gang will be back at school like the rest of us. Hope you enjoyed.
