I'm so sorry I have been M.I.A, it's a mix between being busy and writers block. I've been trying to write more but my mind fails me, so I'm going to try harder and harder!

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

PART TWO

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as I felt the vehicle come to a complete stop. I'm not sure where we are and I can't tell what time it is, not that my mind would allow me to even think about that right now. I was to concerned about the fact that it literally Christmas Eve and tomorrow would be Christmas. Jamie would be at our relatives out of state, I informed them I couldn't make it. It's not that a didn't want to, but I needed to get away from them all. I heard voices talking before I felt two strong arms lift me up and carry me. I let my eyes stay shut as I heard multiple doors open and close, and then I felt a fluffy sturdiness beneath me. I snuggled into before I fell back to sleep once again. It wasn't much longer until I felt the bed shift and a someone join me. I felt Jared's arms pull me into his body, my face rested comfortably against his chest. I could feel his chest come towards me and then move away. I'm not sure why I'm sleeping so much but I'm guessing that the lack of sleep had something to do with it all. I needed to get fully rested so I could start this vacation, or getaway with a somewhat positive attitude. Spending any amount of time with Wanda automatically would brighten my day. We got along maybe a little too well, we could basically finish each other's thoughts and sentences. I didn't mind having someone know me that much, it was almost comforting. I could feel my mind start to wander again as I felt myself drift away. My breathing was getting slower as I slowly lost touch of myself. I woke up the next morning to the sound of Christmas music. I groaned as I lifted my face slightly from my pillow to see Jared was still asleep. The house smelt like peppermint and pine cones, basically Christmas. I couldn't help but lightly smile at the joyful holiday. I rested my head back down onto the pillow and intertwined my legs with Jared's even more. The only position I find relaxing is when I'm basically sprawled out on top of Jared. I'm almost positive he doesn't mind, because he has yet to complain about it. I was almost able to begin to sleep a little longer when a smell rang through my nose. Pancakes. I tried to not let my mouth water as I thought about blueberry pancakes or chocolate chip ones. I tried to focus on life matters until the thoughts took me over. I gently shook Jared, but it didn't work. I shrugged as I grabbed a hoodie from the top of my bag Jared must have brought in, and threw it over my torso. The wooden floors lacked the chill mine back at him had. These ones were warm and toasty underneath my feet, it was almost soothing. I began to lightly walk down the steps when I seen everyone waiting and smiling downstairs, well except for Ian. I'm guessing him and Jared stayed up pretty late last night and were paying for it this morning. I giggled as I seen the red elf hat Wanda had resting on her head. Sunny had a similar one on, but it was green. Kyle's matched hers. I'm not sure if I missed a memo, or were we supported to bring festive things? I walked into the kitchen as instantly someone forced a red hat onto my head, I couldn't help but laugh at the little white ball at the tip of the tail gently smacking my face. I grabbed a plate and happily smacked pancakes on it and sat down at the wooden table with everyone else. I observed everyone's face, and they all looked different. Wanda looked cheerful along with sunny, Kyle looked like he was forced to be awake. His eyes were slightly bloodshot and he looked like he was trying to not fall asleep. I could feel myself slightly laugh as I chewed and swallowed the food that was in my mouth.
"What did you guys do last night? I think Jared's half dead."
I said as I slightly laughed and shoveled another bite of pancakes into my mouth. I enjoyed the sweet taste as the chocolate chips squished between my teeth.
"Yeah, I don't think Ian's waking up for a year."
Wanda laughed as she drank some orange drink that I'm guessing is orange juice. We all looked at Kyle who was lightly chuckling.
"We thought it'd be fun to drink as much as we could, like we used to do in college. Let me tell you, Jared can down a bottle himself. He's a keeper."
Kyle laughed as I covered my face with my hands. I knew Jared smelt like a liquor store, now I know why. I shook my head as I giggled and then went back to eating. The taste was too good to ignore, and I slept through eating. I finished my food as I looked out the window and seen the snow quickly falling. I could hear the fire crackle in the corner of the room, this place was truly breath taking. I heard Wanda say that she was going to go wake Ian up and I agreed that I would go wake Jared up. I knew he would be tired, but he didn't need to sleep the day away. I smiled as I stood up and made my way to the room we were sharing. My smile got bigger as I sat down on the bed beside a sleeping Jared. I tried to gently shake him, but all he did was roll over so he was on his back, still asleep. I groaned in my head as a smile spread across my face. I tried to shake him a little harder, but all I got from that was him grabbing me and pulling me to his chest. I couldn't help but laugh at his gesture. I tried to get out of his grip.
"Come on we have to get up."
I told him as I kissed his cheek, he still smelled like a liquor store. I could feel my nose scrunch up a little more but I knew I would most likely be the same way tomorrow. Wanda said Ian went out and splurged and got all kids of funky expensive liquors, he also included that both guys had bought some of their own too. I hoped some how that there was some sort of peppermint flavor, I was cravings mints. I remember the first time Jared and I got dangerously close, he smelled like mints.
"So who won the little game/ bet thing last night?"
"I did."
He groaned as he finished his sentence and sat up, rubbing his eyes lightly. I knew he would be tired, Wanda and I already guessed that one. I looked at the window that was in our room, with a light lace shear cover over it. The sky always turned grey during the winter time, that was inevitable. Sadly, it got dark around 4 most days. I knew we would be stuck in this cabin all week, but I wouldn't complain. It was like someone's get away house that a family of 8 could live in. Jared had already gotten off the bed when I stood up and walked over to him, the slight touch of him burning my fingertips. I smiled as he pulled me in for a kiss, I knew we would be having a good day today. Today was Christmas Eve and surely our little group was having a party. Some time earlier today I heard Kyle bragging about an awesome eggnog Ian can make. I didn't mind Kyle and sunny, they were actually two people I could imagine getting to know. All threw boys seemed to share great memories, they were by no doubt close. I smiled at the thought of all of us having our own basic little family, our children could play together. I walked away from Jared after he we both talked for a little. I was on my way to the bathroom when I felt two arms grab me and yank me into a bedroom, I'm guessing it was Wanda. I looked at her as she had a sneaky look on her face.
"We have a surprise for the boys."
I looked to see sunny was standing behind her with a grin on her face. I looked down at the bag that Wanda had in her hand. Something told me I wasn't going to enjoy what was about to happen. To my assurance Wanda pulled out a skimpy little " " outfit. I groaned as Wanda handed mine to me. It was had a tight red leather like fabric with white little fur on the hems. It was like those oufits they wore on mean girls. I sighed as I grabbed it and walked over to the bed.
"Well change, were all wearing them."
Wanda said as her and sunny began to peel their pants off. I couldn't help but laugh as we all slipped the outfits on. We still had our hats on, and they matched our outfits. Surely it was early to start to party, but it was Christmas Eve and we were all kind of snowed it. I remembered to make sure all the presents I brought were wrapped and ready to go. I then thought back to the cookies Jared made, which caused a laugh to escape my lips. I got a strange look from the girls, but I quickly explained what it was all about. They both laughed as we sat and some what made our selves loo cute with the festive glitter Wanda brought along. Wanda said the boys were all wearing matching ugly Christmas sweaters. Do I have the perfect friends or what? We all try so hard to make this a great Christmas, not to mention the guys were downstairs trying to get some food ready for tomorrow. I tried to help but Wanda told me Ian and them want to cook. I rolled my eyes, Jared couldn't even make real cookies. We talked for maybe two hours and it was around 5ish, give or take some minutes. Sunny had told me about how her and Kyle met at college. They were at this New Years party and he spilt chicken dip all over her black dress. Long story short, they ended up getting stuck in an elevator and spent New Years together with cheap liquor sunny had in her purse. I grinned at their cute story,they had chosen to fall in love. Surely, I don't regret being with Jared but I wish I could have chosen. I mean I wouldn't give him up to anyone, he's mine. I just sucks to tell people how we met, it doesn't bother him but it bothers me. I was always one who wanted her Prince Charming to pick her up off of her feet. Not that he didn't, but it wasn't in the way I dreamed of. I guess all that matters is that I love him and were happy together. I smiled as we all began to stand up, it was time to go downstairs. Both girls reassured me that the guys didn't know about this. By the length of this outfit, I knew I wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight. What would ever happen if I got pregnant again? Would it all actually turn out okay? And that's when the thought came back, the little girl. She haunted my dreams, but now she so carelessly faded away. I tried to blink away the thoughts as we all trodded down the steps and made our way to the living room. Just as they said, the guys had on tacky sweaters. There was a Christmas tree lit up, along with some decorations that had been set out. I never noticed them before, but now I did. This was so cute looking and some what peaceful that I couldn't resist staring at everything in awe. Jared had agreed to this to make me feel better, he turned down his parents to make me happy. I smiled and ran over to hug Jared, who had a tight grip on me.
"Thank you."
I said as I looked up at him, surely there was a sparkle in my eyes. I was happy and felt some what better, I had someone who cared more about me than I will ever know.
"I'll walk thru hell for you, love."
I tightened my grip on him as he kissed me. I knew the PDA would gross my friends out but I could care less. At this moment, it felt like we were the only ones in the room. I pulled away to see everyone looking at us in awe. They also sensed the love we felt for each other. Time passed and we were all sitting in the living room with drinks in our hand. Jared grabbed this fancy looking bottle and winked at me when he opened it. I couldn't help but blush as he poured some into my now empty glass. I looked down at the empty plate infront of me and couldn't help but think about how perfect this is going. Something inside my chest started to ache, this was my first Christmas without my parents. They were the reason I'm here, especially with Jared. I knew Wanda was having the time of her life, Ian's her first stable relationship. Well the first guy I actually thought deserved her. My thoughts were interrupted by the fire crackling. I looked around too see how dark outside it was, and how nicely lit the room was. It was so comfortable, not to mention this couch in sitting on. I was snuggled I to Jared's side, he smelt like men's spray. His sweater had little bells on it, which made me laugh everytime he moved or tried to be serious. Everyone else was having a great conversation by the looks of it, but right now Jared and I felt like we were the only ones in the world.
"All I want for Christmas is you."
He purred into my ear, I couldn't help but blush. Maybe it was the drinks entering my blood stream, or he still has numerous effects on me. I looked down at my outfit, it was ridiculous. Actually right now, all of us looked crazy. I heard Wanda start to talk about something and I couldn't help but join in the lovely memory. It all ended up with Kyle pulling out a little bag of this herbal relaxer. It felt like we were in high-school, passing it around to each other. I could feel my nerves start to calm down as we continued to drink. This drink was sweet and hypnotic, I never wanted it to run out. It was then that Wanda plugged her phone into the speakers. I remember dancing to our song, but after that it all was a blur. I do remember it being late and Jared ripping the stupid outfit off of me. The next morning was a blur, as I woke up with nothing on. I thanked god for the blanket that was over my body, covering it. I snuggled deeper into Jared's arms as I tried to sleep. My head was throbbing,and I felt sick. I peeked my head over the bed to find one of Jared's shirts on the floor. I grabbed it and threw it on, walking to the bathroom. I quickly threw up and rinsed my mouth out, I felt like someone ran me over with a truck. I went to walk back to our room when I heard Ian and Wanda awake and talking, it clearly wasn't early. I wonder if Wanda got as bad as I did last night? I entered the room to see Jared awake and smiling at me. He was sitting up against the headboard, with his arms open for me to climb into. I smiled and found my place and got comfortable.
"Where did ya go?"
"I had to throw up."
I knew for a second his mind clicked to the same thought mine did. The only problem is, are we even ready to have a child? I mean everyone gets sick and throws up, correct? I'm not just going crazy right. I tried not to worry about it as I rested my head against Jared's chest.
"Merry Christmas."
We both said as he kissed my forehead, and I planted a kiss on his cheek. I couldn't help but shake the worry from myself though
