AN: Hey people! Here is a short little thing I came up with while I should have been cleaning the bathroom. Oh well. If inspiration finds me and I don't write it down it won't leave me alone. Gosh, my plot bunnies (or whatever this is) have been so much more vicious lately. Wish me luck, school starts back up for me tomorrow. Also good luck to everyone who is starting a new school year tomorrow!

So a BIG shout out to: FrostedWolves, NightFury999, and the Guest who reviewed!

PS, dear Guest, I know this probably isn't what you expected but this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy it all the same.

Anyway, I don't own blah blah blah. Favourite, follow and please please PLEASE review...now on with the story!

Dear Santa Clause,

I know it's not close to Christmas, and I don't even know if you really exist but I needed to write this letter. I know this might be selfish and that I haven't exactly been on the nice list recently but I was wondering if you could make my Christmas gift a little early this year. It might seem like a strange request but… I won't be around at Christmas this year. I know you're probably wondering why, well to tell you the truth…everything has become too much to handle. The bullying, my parents fighting, their divorce-and you know the worst part? I'm the cause of it all-my father beating me is my fault, the bullies are my fault, the divorce is my fault, all of it is my fault. So I have come to the conclusion that I'm a mistake-and you know the best part? I didn't have to come to that conclusion by myself, I've been told that by everyone every day for the past four years.

So now that you know the reasons behind this letter I guess I should tell you what I want for Christmas. What I want for Christmas is for everything to be fixed after I'm gone. I know that it's probably a lot to ask, and I won't exactly be around at Christmas but please. I want my parents to stop fighting and get back together, I want the bullies to stop bullying, I want my father to stop beating my family but mostly what I want is for my younger sister to be protected even though I won't be able to protect her anymore.

I'll understand if you can't make all of that come true, it is a lot to ask for. I also know you aren't God or anything, but if you could only grant one wish it would be that my younger sister is protected. Although apparently you're a Saint, which I guess means you should be able to at least talk to God, so if you could send my little sister a Guardian Angel I would really appreciate it.

By the time you end up getting this letter I will no longer be alive. All I have to say is thanks for making my childhood so much more worth it. I know that you try to make everyone's childhood a little better, I guess that means you also protect all the children. So please, protect my little sister.
