Chapter 19: Last Christmas

*Jasper Pov*

It's finally Christmas.

Everyone is excited.

Everyone is cheerful.

Almost everyone.

Its only 2 weeks before dad leaves for the service.

I wasn't exactly looking forward to it.

But I am supporting him.

I came downstairs and found everyone waiting for me. "Sorry" I said, I took a seat next to Alice and waited for Emmett to pass out the gifts.

I hid mine away from the rest so they would open them last.

After all the gifts were opened I gave them the ones from me.

They were all so excited.

I was crushed in hugs for a good 5 minutes.

Then I gave dad his. He couldn't speak. I thought I saw tears in his eyes.

He disappeared and came back with a huge box.

He gave it to me and told me to open it.

I ripped the paper open and saw the box to a bright blue electric guitar, paired with a blue acoustic.

I looked at my dad. "How did you..." he smiled, "the fire chief said everything was lost in the fire, along with your guitar. I always wondered why you didn't play anymore." he said, I couldn't believe it.

2 brand new guitars. I jumped up and hugged him. "thank you. so much" I said, I wiped my eyes dry of the tears falling.

This was the best gift I have ever gotten.

And its from my dad.

I would have never expected this from him.

I didn't expect anything from him.

Now I know he is truly changing.

After everyone talked for a few hours they all went to do their own thing.

I went to my room and set up my guitars.

It felt like a dream.

I took the acoustic and played it for a while.

Then I put it away and got ready for bed.

I got in bed and let my mind wander.

Thinking about everything that has happened, and everything that might happen.

After about an hour I fell asleep.

A/N ta da! so what do you think? good? bad? tell me? leave me a review? i will try to get another chapter up today or tomorrow.
