Its Christmas eve, everyone is rushing around and getting excited. Everyone is going over to my grandparents in a bit. So I’m just waiting for everyone, whilst on my phone.

Nothing much has happened recently, it just been the build up to Christmas. Watching Christmas films, eating Christmas food, decorating the house, seeing everyone, and wearing shitty Christmas jumpers. That’s Christmas for you.

Evie’s parents arrived a couple of days ago, so everyone is officially here.

Back home, is the same, nothing has gone on. I’ve spoken to Luke on Skype a couple of times, just messing around and catching up. But with the time zones, one of us is tired, or we don’t speak at all because one’s a sleep. We both understand that though.

“Harper you ready?” My mum asks.

“Yes, I was ready ten minutes ago.” I answer.

“Aww, that jumper is cute.” My mum chuckles.

“Thanks.” I smile.

I’m wearing a Christmas jumper and some black jeans, nothing special, but festive.

“Hey, I’ve got a cool one too.” Angus chimes in.

“Oh my God.” I laugh.

Its a naked father Christmas, like you can see his dick and balls.

“Angus! You are going to be around children!” Mum scolds.

“It is pretty good though.” I admit.

“See, Harper likes it.” Angus reasons.

“For the grand finale.” Josh gestures as he walks past us.

“That’s so stupid, why Josh?” I look at him in pity.

“It’s true, Jesus’ birthday is soon.” He tells us.

“That’s so bad, even by my standards.” Angus laughs.

Its Jesus and it says happy birthday on it.

“I can’t fault you that it is his birthday.” I say.

“Oh just go.” My dad ushers us out.

Grabbing my leather jacket off the hook and shrugging it on as I walk out the door.

“No.” I say as I notice what the boy’s are doing. “I’m not sitting in the middle.” I tell them.

“What was that Harper?” Angus smirks as he pushes me into the car.

“Hey! I just did my hair and make up.” I whine.

Angus proceeds to ignore me and shut the door.

“I hate you.” I glare at Angus.

“Love you too Harps.” He smugly teases and hugs he but I push him off.

Half an hour later, we reach our grandparents’ house. Their house is in the country side, and it is so beautiful here. I’m more of a city person, but damn if I got offered to live here, I wouldn’t have to think twice.

“Hello darling.” My grandma smiles.

“Hey.” I greet.

“How are you?” She asks.

“I’m good thanks, yourself?” I repeat.

“Very well thanks.” She answers.

“Grandpa!” I chuckle.

“Hello Harper.” He greets.

“Evie, Mark and Anna are here already.” He tells me.

“Thanks.” I smile and walk through to the lounge, Josh trailing behind me.

Josh puts his arms on my shoulders and pushes me forwards but still holds on to me. “Saved your life.” He laughs.

“Anna! The boy’s are being mean to me again.” I whine like a child.

“Aw poor baby.” She cooes.

I laugh and hug everyone. Taking a seat next to Evie and poking her sides. “Stop.” She giggles.

“Get off your phone then.” I tell her.

She rolls her eyes and locks her phone, letting it drop to her side.

“My brother’s have been a dick this morning.” I groan.

“Aren’t they always?” She chuckles.

“True that.”

Pulling my phone out and scrolling through Twitter.

“What so I can’t be on my phone, but you can?” Evie questions.

“I’ve got followers to tend to.” I smugly say.

“Uh phone equality please.” She jokes and I burst out laughing.

“Could you take a photo with me, so I can get more followers.” Evie questions.

“So your using me?” I put it simply.

“Yeah, so shut up and look like you love me.” She orders.

Its a couple of hours later now, and I’m meeting some old school friends, Laura and Delilah. I kept contact with them when I moved back to Australia, we aren’t like really close, but we like to catch up every now and then. “Hi!” Delilah shrieks.

“Hey!” I grin and hug her.

“How have you been?” She asks.

“Good, I’ve been busy with school and shit, you?” I reply.

“Alright actually, yeah same, got A-levels to study for.” She tells me.

“Are you going to uni?” I question.

“Yeah, are you?” She asks as we sit down own her bed.

“I don’t know, I’ve been toying with the idea, but I don’t have a fucking clue.” I answer.

“Would you go to one here or in Australia?” Delilah question.

“I feel like I would want to go to uni here, because my brothers and cousin do, but also I don’t want to leave my friends behind. I mean they will probably be busy with tours and stuff, but I’ve also got my friend Erika who will be left behind. Not because she’s incapable of doing anything, we’re all in the same friend group, and she likes to be in Australia. ” I explain.

“Right, tough one. Catch 22.” She says.

“Harper!” Someone shouts my name.

Looking around I see Laura. “Laura!” I laugh and get up to hug her.

“How are you?” She asks.

“I’m good thanks, yourself?” I repeat.

“Great!” She smiles.

“Powerpuff girls unite!” Delilah giggles as she joins in on our hug.

We all pull apart and sit on Delilah’s bed.

“Oh yeah, you may know this, or not. But I’m bisexual.” Delilah tells me.

“Congratulations!” I smile and give her a hug. “Is that something people say?” I question.

“Well it’s a good reaction, so I’ll take it.” She chuckles.

“It took her a good ten minutes to come out with it.” Laura laughs. “See what I did there ha ha.” She smirks.

“I’m laughing at you.” I remark.

She flips me off.

It a couple of hours later now, we’ve just been catching up, Laura broke up with her boyfriend of 2 years a couple of months ago and Delilah learnt how to play guitar. In fact we are filmed a video, we’ve combined a load of songs together and Delilah is playing the guitar.

“Well done guys.” Laura claps.

“Woooo,” I say and turn off the camera. “I’ll import the footage later.” I tell them.

(video at the top)

They nod and pull out their phones, joining the club, I pull mine out too. “Social.” I mutter.

“Fuck off alright.” Laura points at me.

“Yeah Harps.” Delilah chuckles.

“Wow two against one.” I pout.

Laura flips me off. “You got told.” Delilah nudges.

“Yeah, I did.” I agree.

“Remember when Delilah thought it would be a good idea to eat paint?” Laura says and I laugh at the memory.

“I was shitting so much. It wasn’t green though.” Delilah laughs.

“Ew, too much information.” I say.

“To be honest, it did kind of taste good, the aftertaste wasn’t so much.” Laura admits.

“What is wrong with you?” I furrow my eyebrows.

“Everything.” She chuckles.

“We did some weird shit in primary school. We weren’t even that young when we ate the paint.” Delilah points out.

“Do you still play Harper? Like instruments?” Laura asks.

The three of us used to mess around in music room, Laura and Delilah used to sing, and I would play the piano. As well as just playing other instruments (badly). It was really fun, we weren’t trying to get anywhere with it, just having fun. They are the only people that know about my secret ‘talent’, only the piano though.

“Every now and then I guess, I don’t own one you see.” I lie.

I just go on lockdown mode when people ask me about instruments, my singing or anything like that, and I can’t help it.

“Understandable.” Delilah nods.

“You should get back into it.” Laura suggests.

“Maybe.” I shrug.

***

Its around seven, and I left the girls a while ago. Everybody is over again, everyone spread out through the house. Evie, Reuben and I are in my room, and everyone else I don’t know.

We’re going out to dinner, it’s kinda a tradition we do. We’ve all gotten ready, just waiting for everyone else to do what ever they need to do. I’m wearing a black dress and black thigh high boots, and I’m going to wear a burgundy coloured coat.

(Picture at the top, but with out all the accessories.)

Evie is wearing a red dress, for Christmas sakes, and some cute ankle boots with a heel and laces. Looking very festive.

“I had fun catching up with the girls again today.” I say.

“I’m glad, I guess you’re pretty much always with boys, and its nice to get away from them for a while.” Evie replies.

“We’re together pretty much all the time, I’ve got Erika but that’s not enough.” I explain.

“Yeah, I get your wavelength.”

“I’m tired, but I’m also excited.” I cry out as I lie down onto my bed. “And hungry.” I notice.

“I’m not really excited for Christmas really. Its not about the presents anymore for me. It’s more about seeing everyone, and the festivity.” Evie tells me.

“Me too, I guess we’ve grown out of that phase, I like the build up more than the actual day.” I agree.

“Totally b-” Evie gets cut off by Josh walking through the door.

“Do you know how to knock?” I claim.

“Time to go.” He ignores my question.

“Alright.” Evie says.

“Come on sausage.” I poke at Reuben.

Picking him up and walking down the stairs.

“Harper!” He giggles as I spin him around.

“Here.” I laugh and put him down.

“Thanks.” He smiles up at me and runs over to his mum Lauren.

Walking over to the coat rack by the door, I take my coat off of the hook and sliding into it. “Wow, someone looks pretty.” Someone whistles behind me.

Turning around I see Lauren. “Oh stop it!” I blush. “Look at you!” I point.

“I’m not as hot as you. Luke would be swooning.” She teases.

I flip her off. “See this, take it and shove it so far up your arse.” I laugh.

“Touchy subject?” She smirks.

“I’m not having this conversation.” I warn.

“Harper your nearly as tall as Luke.” Angus walks in saying.

“If I did date Luke would you all shut up?” I question.

“Definetly.” Lauren adds.

“I might as well have to, if you guys won’t stop.” I roll my eyes.

“Good.” Angus smirks.

“Are we all ready to go?” My dad asks to everyone.

A series of yes’ went around the little room by the door, filled with so many people.

Half an hour later we make it to the restaurant, I’m walking and talking with my grandma, just catching up. “What’s a vampires favourite fruit?” Angus asks me.

“Uh, I don’t know.” I answer.

“Neck-tarines.” He reveals.

I make a drum sound and laugh. “Bu-dum shhh.”

“Dork.” I tell him.

He childishly sticks his tongue out at me and sits down.

Hours later, we’re getting ready to leave, but children are running around all over the place. “Emily, if you don’t get back here right now, father Christmas won’t give you any presents.” I play that trick.

I’m trying to get emily, Evie is trying to get Toby, Lauren is trying to get Lilly, the only sensible one is Reuben, who is sat with my brother’s.

“I can’t run in heels.” I groan.

“I’m so sorry.” I tell an old lady as Emily walks into her, she smiles and carrys on walking. Grabbing onto her little forearm and picking her up.

“Naughty.” I say into her ear.

She rests her head onto my shoulder. “Are you tired?” I coo, and I feel her nod. “Well be home soon.” I reassure.

“I got one.” I say as I retreat to the table.

“Me too.” Evie adds.

“Bloody Lauren, can’t even get her own children.” My mum jokes and we laugh.

“Got her.” Lauren sighs.

“Ready?” Mark questions.

We walk out the restaurant and into separate cars, I keep Emily with me because she’s fallen asleep in my arms.

Mum opens the door for us as we walk up the drive way, she got here before us, along with Mark and Anna, as well as my dad.

“I’ve got a video to edit, so I’ll see you later.” I tell everyone as I give Emily to Mark.

***

An hour and a bit later, I’ve finished editing and its about to go up. “Harper, everyone’s going now.” Josh calls.

“Okay.” I call back, moving my laptop off of my lap and jogging down the stairs.

“Goodbye love.” My grandma hugs me.

10 minutes later, everyone has left and we’ve said our goodbye’s. Jogging back up the stairs, and into my room.

Checking the few comments I’ve got, until I get interrupted by a Skype call from Luke.

Obviously answering but not turning the camera on, because I just don’t want. “Hi?” Luke smiles.

“Hey.” I reply.

“Turn on your webcam.” He groans.

“Why?” I chuckle.

“Because I wanna see your pretty little face.” He winks and I blush, good thing he can’t see me.

“Fine.” I cave and turn it on and wave. “Happy?” I ask.

“Yep.” He smugly smiles. “I like your video you just uploaded.” Luke complements.

“Aww thanks.” I giggle.

“Who were the girls?” He questions.

“Delilah was playing guitar and Laura was on her left.” I answer.

“How do you know them? I’ve never heard you talk about them.” He asks confused.

“Oh just some old school friends, we aren’t super close, but they are the only people I kept in contact with. I meet up with them every time I come back.” I reply.

“Cool, you all sounded great by the way.” He smiles.

“Thank you. In fact I should tell them its up.” I tell myself really.

Pulling my phone out and texting them both.

Couple of minutes later I turn back to my laptop and see Luke just staring at me. “So how was your day?” I ask.

“Well I got up a few hours ago, but yeterday, the boys, Erika, and I went to the park, then went to Calum’s. We hung out there for a while, and I came back home.” He explains. “You?” He questions.

“Umm, we went to my grandparent’s house, then I went to Delilah’s, caught up with them for a while, came back home, everyone was over. We then went out for dinner, which was a nightmare with the children, they kept running around, and I can’t run in heels. We came back and I edited the video, and now I’m talking to you.” I tell him.

“I love seeing you with your family. You get so happy.” He chuckles.

“I love it too, I haven’t had the best family life I guess you could say, and being all together again is great.” I agree.

“Good!” He smiles.

“Lukey? Is that you?” I get interrupted by Angus.

“Go away.” I groan

“Hey Angus.” Luke laughs.

“Hi! I’m your favourite person.” Angus says.

“Yeah, fuck Harper.” He laughs.

“Uh, excuse me?” I fake being hurt.

“Love you really!” He says like a child.

“Ooo live Larper action going on.” Angus teases.

“Angus, fuck off!” I tell him.

“Alright, I leave you to your boyfriend.” He jokes.

I flip him off as he walks out the door. “Shut the fucking door.” I shout.

“Alright woman.”

He closes the door and I sigh looking back at Luke, who’s stifling a laugh.

“Well I better go, if I’m going to be dealing with excited children tomorrow.” I tell him.

“Alright.” He chuckles. “I love you, and I miss you.” He pouts.

A smile forms on my face when he says I love you, he ment it so genuinely. “I love you too, I’ll be home soon. Have a nice Christmas, and I’ll probably speak to you tomorrow.” I reply.

“You too, love you bye.” He grins and hangs up.

Luke’s pov

God, I love her, so fucking much. I know I’ve barely had “couple time” with her, we’re not even together, but I’m glad I finally plucked up the courage to just kiss her. I wouldn’t change it for the world.

The day I got back, I went round to Isobel’s house and broke up with her. She took it well, I guess. She said some colourful and hurtful words by they didn’t hurt me. It was never serious anyway.

I can’t wait for her to get back here and be able to kiss her soft lips again, and some other stuff (if you know what I mean). She promised me she’ll carry on what we started, and I’m holding it too her.

I’m about to meet up with everyone, we’ve decided to meet up at Michael’s house.

Knocking on the door, Erika opens it almost immediately. “Hey.” I smile and pull her into a hug

“How are you?” She asks.

“Good, you?” I repeat.

“Great.” She simply replies as she closes the door.

“Hi.” I say and sit next to Calum.

“Whats up?” He asks.

“Not much, just got off Skype with Harper.” I answer

“What she up to?” Ashton questions.

“Shes going to bed, that’s all.” I tell him.

“Have you seen Sarah’s Instagram? It is full of photos of Harper and other people that I don’t know.” Calum asks.

“Luke will definitely like the pictures of Harper.” Erika teases.

I mean yeah, I will like the pictures of her.

I lie and roll my eyes. Cal passes me his phone and I scroll through. Fuck, the picture of her in a dress from earlier.

Aww the pictures of her with her cousins.

“Alright, that’s enough.” Calum takes his phone off me.

Michael makes an excited sound and looks intrigued by his laptop. “What?” Ashton asks for all of us.

“Harper’s new video.” He says and puts his laptop on the table next to him and turns the sound up.

“Damn.” Erika speaks for us all, I saw it before but it is really good.

“Who are they?” Michael asks.

“Old school friends.” I answer.

“You know?” Calum questions.

“Of course I know, I just spoke to her. The one playing guitar is Delilah, and the other girl is Laura.” I point out.

“Oh, Delilah seem cool.” Cal smirks.

“I miss Harper.” Erika blurts out.

“Agreed, she keeps everyone sane.” Ashton tells us.

“Even if she is weird herself.” Calum chuckles.

“Me too.” I agree with a smirk on my face.

“Of course you do Luke, she’s your girlfriend.” Michael jokes.

I mean… soon to be.
