This chapter is going to reveal a bit about Crystal's past but not all of it. I want to reveal bits of her past at a time but you'll know her full past by chapter 20 XD

Frank's P.O.V

It's so awkward when Crystal and Liam are arguing because I'm stuck in the middle. I'm trying to be friends with both Crystal and Liam but it's quite difficult.

Like yesterday; Crystal wanted to go play football with me but then Liam enters the room and asks me to play pool. The conversation ended up being a whole argument while I was just standing there, fidgeting with awkwardness.

I just want my two best friends back but I don't even know what Liam did wrong so I can't fix it. It's going to be Christmas soon so they better be friends again. I don't want Crystal's first christmas at the Dumping Ground to be chaos.

*******************

Liam's P.O.V (Day before Christmas)

I don't even know why Crystal is angry at me but what I do know is that I need to fix this before Christmas. I decided to go town to do some last minute christmas shopping. I don't know what I should get Crystal as she ain't the girly type.

I looked around in shops and saw nothing that caught my eye. I was beginning to give up. My present needs to be something unique and special. Something that shows her, I care!

I sat down on a bench and then looked around. There wasn't many people but most of them were happy. I thought about what would make Crystal happy. Maybe if I bought her a necklace? She isn't the girly type though. Oh well, I'm going to buy it.

I entered a jewellery shop and see many necklace. One caught my eye. It was a silver necklace with the name 'Molly' on it. On there was diamonds placed on it. It looked gorgeous. I looked at the price and my eyes widened with shock.

I can't afford this. It would be my life savings! Okay think!

Crystal or money?

Crystal or money?

Crystal or money?

Crystal or mone----

Definitely Crystal!

*******************

I called the assistant over.

"Hey, could I buy this necklace but could I have the name 'Crystal' instead of 'Molly' please?" I said kindly.

"Yes, of course. But you do realise the price is £127? Can you afford it?" She replied back sympathetically.

"Yes. And when would the necklace be ready by?" I exclaimed.

"Whenever you want it. But it would cost extra if you want it quite soon." A frown appeared on my face. I only have £130, if she charges more than that... I wouldn't be able to afford it. "But, since it's nearly christmas and I'm feeling quite generous; I'll give you the necklace for £80 and you would get it by the end of this day or early morning of tomorrow!"

I grinned before hugging her.
"Thank you so much!" I shrieked.

"It's no problem! I'm guessing you'll be paying for it tomorrow?" She replied back.

I nodded before saying goodbye. Well, I got enough money to buy more stuff for Crystal now. I have £40 in my wallet right now and £90 at the Dumping ground. Might as well spend the £40.

*******************

It wasn't such a good idea spending all my money on presents because right now, I have no lift home. You're probably thinking; Why don't you use your phone to call Mike?
I can't use my phone because it died. So right now, I'm walking home in the dark. It's 4.30pm but you know how in the winter it gets really dark at 4? It's like that.

While I'm walking, I hear someone sniffing. It sounds like they have been crying. Being the curious person I am, I go look for that person.

I see a little boy, around 10 years old maybe, laying on the pavement. (I know Leondre is 13 but in this fanfic he is only 9 and he isn't famous and he isn't called Leondre:P)
Being the nice person I am; I ask if the little boy is alright. I don't think he heard me so I sit down next to him.

"Hey, what's your name?" I speak softly.

He sniffles before replying, "Joshua but I prefer to be called Josh."

He looks really familiar but I just can't put my finger on it.

"So what are you doing on the streets by yourself?" I said curiously.

"I ran away from home to try to look for my big sister. She's around your age I think. 14 years old." He trailed off at the end of the sentence.

"Hey. Maybe I know your sister. What's her name?"

What he said back, shocked me the most! He said--------

Soz for the clifflanger :(

Crystal's P.O.V

It's Christmas at the Dumping Ground and Liam is still not back from town. Mike and Gina are worried but apparently this is normal for Liam.

Everyone races down to the living room to open up their presents. We all sit down on the floor and then wait for Mike to hand out the presents.

I was really surprised when I found out that everyone got me presents. It made me feel really bad. I think everyone else noticed as well.

"Umm.. I'm sorry for not getting you guys presents. I thought you wouldn't get me any as I thought all of yous hate me." I looked down at the floor.

"We don't hate you..." Sapphire spoke softly.

"I'm really sorry. I would do anything for you guys!" I pleaded.

"Anything?" Lily smirked back. I nodded.

"We want pizza for lunch. Make sure it's meat feast!" Sapphire smiled.

"Is that all? Don't you want to torture me?" I was beyond confused.

"Nope, you're one of us now!" Carmen shrieked. I smiled and then everyone starts ripping open their presents.

*******************

This was probably the best Christmas ever for me and it's still the morning.

I got the new Iphone 6s, Rose Gold from Mike and Gina. Carmen and Lily got me some makeup sets. Frank got me a Manchester United signed football shirt - bæ!! Toby got me some comic books which I'm starting to love. Harry got me a cute teddy bear which is sooo adorable! And Sapphire got me a blue mp3 player.

I think I'm finally starting to fit in. We were all currently waiting for Liam. We weren't allowed to eat breakfast until he arrives.

*******************

Slam! Went the door. Was that Liam? Could we eat breakfast now?

"Crystal where are you?" Liam screamed. I was confused, why did he want to know where I was?

"Living room," I screamed back. He appeared almost immediately. He was smiling. He must be very excited for something.

"I got the best christmas present ever for you!" He giggled at the end like a little girl. This caused me to chuckle.

"Mhhmm, what is it?" I giggled with excitement. I doubt it would be better than an Iphone 6s!

"Come in now.." he motioned for a person to come in.

Oh my god! I haven't seen him in eight years. He reminds me so much about him! His brown hair.. His cheeky smile...

"Joshuuaaaa! What are you doing here. Oh my god. I think I'm going to cry." I was crying tears of joy. I couldn't believe my eyes. My little brother was here.

I ran up to him and tackled him into a bear hug. He's so small. I couldn't believe this.

"Thank you so much Liam. This is the best present ever." I walked over to him and gave him a bone crushing hug. Except it wasn't bone crushing as Liam is way stronger than me.

"No problem Crystal. I think you and your brother should catch up." He smirked and I smiled back. Gina and Mike were no longer confused. Whereas, the rest of the dumping ground kids were more than confused. I would explain it later to them.

Josh reminds me so much about him. I haven't seen him in over ten years.

Josh then spoke, "I missed you so much big sis." His voice was so squeaky and adorable. I just nodded my head before hugging him again.

This was definitely the best Christmas ever! And the best moment of my whole life...

Comment below who you think 'him' is.. And I got the idea of having your bro for christmas from a friend. And I just thought it would be so cute. Btw, I have been inspired to continue writing this fanfic so I will be updating every week :)
