Chapter 3 - "present" day.
POV: Kendall Knight (Present day, right after the end of "Big Time Christmas")
I looked down at my mom.
She smiled up at me, and then realized what my look meant. "Kendall, no."
I sighed. "Just wanted to make sure so I wasn't wasting my time wishing for the impossible."
"Honey, you've wished for the impossible every year since you were seven. He's not coming back. Don't ask me again."
I sat up and pressed my face into my hands. I just had to breathe. He wasn't coming back. I had to remember that. Be strong Kendall. Be strong.
"You okay?" James asked. I felt the couch shift as he sat next to me. "You want a cookie?"
"I'm fine."
"You sure?"
I looked up at him.
He just looked at me.
"I'm not doing too good."
"What's wrong?"
"You know how my dad didn't come with us to LA?"
"Yeah. Come to think of it, I've never met your dad. Why haven't I… oh." He caught the look in my eyes and wisely decided to shut up.
"Mhmm." I face fell into my hands again. "That's why I don't always want to have Christmas. I just go along with you guys with the pajamas and everything because I don't want it to be weird. I don't even want to do anything. Ever. Christmas just isn't the same without him."
He took a bite of the cookie he had offered me a minute ago. "You know what you should do? Get your mom a boyfriend. Then you'll have a dad."
"That's not the point!" I stood up. "I want my real dad back. No one else would work."
