chapter 27- The Christmas Eve Dinner
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail rings
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
It's Christmas Eve holiday spirit everywhere my mother gave us her classic ugly Christmas sweater and we were getting ready for the Christmas Eve Dinner and I was eagerly waiting for Justin to show up I'd love to see my father's expression .
the doorbell rings and the twins get the door they have this weird tradition to sing Christmas Carol to all the guests that show up.
my ears almost melt off after hearing the song my brothers were singing.
kenan and kel " Deck the halls with Justin Foley fa la la la la la la la la , it's the season's of Zach Dempsey fa la la la la la la la la "
I quickly head to the front door and fix what they did but they already blabber before I get their.
Kenan " Alexa says Justin is cute "
kel " oh and Zach is hot "
Alexa " shut up "
I say smacking both their heads
Zach is wearing a white shirt with a black Jean while justin is wearing a matching hoodie and jogger. After what my brother's say he just smiles and they both wave .
Alexa " I didn't know you were coming Zach "
Zach " Am not staying I just dropped him off "
My mother suddenly appears and smiles at them Justin hands her a bouquet of flowers roses how nice of nice of him.
Justin " it's a pleasure to meet you misses Watson "
Mom " well aren't you a piece of man "
okay mom I push her in the kitchen she's obsessed with me getting the perfect guy .
Alexa " I'll see you later Zach "
Zach " bye Watson "
I take him to the dinner table but we were all wearing red it's our tradition to pick a colour each year so he looked out of place .
dad " whose this young man "
Alexa " he's my friend from school "
Dad " why is he here "
Alexa " His dad isn't around so his staying for dinner "
I knew he would throw a sucker punch he wouldn't let it go.
Dad " so when stray kids are lose call militant watson "
Justin " sir my dad never has time for me and your daughter was kind enough to invite me to dinner to get my mind off the fact that my father would rather be planning his next regime than spend Christmas with his only child thank you for the service I'll be on my way "
He picks his things about to leave but to my greatest surprise my dad stops him.
Dad " where are you going young man you haven't tried my wife's Christmas Carol cake it'll be a gift to your tastebuds "
Justin " Thank you sir "
surprisingly dinner went great Zach later came too and he bonded with my dad just perfect probably because he wanted to join the millarty after college .
they went crazy over my mom's Christmas Carol cake.
it's a chocolate cake with red velvet layers it has small fondant figurines of my family singing any song my father chooses then after slicing the cake small fondant letters of the song my dad chooses pour out in chocalate filling . It's like a magic cake my mom spends a lot of time making it.
the dinner goes great before Zach says something I wish he didn't.
Zach " I'd love to join the millarty Alex's boyfriend helped to convince my dad he wants to join to "
Dad " whose this boyfriend "
Zach " Hayden of course why "
and there it was he bangs the table and I must say am tired of this .
Dad " the boy that got you in the hospital and caused you to go missing that's who your with "
Alexa " it's not like that "
Dad " I raised you better you are going to break up with him "
Alexa " Am sorry dad but I won't "
Dad " are you defying my orders "
Mom " Andre calm down "
Dad " my house my rules Alex "
At that moment Zach leaves
my dad had never called me that I knew things would end bad so I left the table and ran outside . I grabbed my coat and left it was snowing hard and a blizzard might come I see Zach in his car and I go in.
Zach " Alex what's up "
Alexa " can I stay with you tonight "
" no your staying with me "
I hear Justin's voice from afar and he quickly gets in and drives me to his place I didn't plan on running away on Christmas eve but I had to .
I was escorted to a guest room where I took a shower and got dressed in more comfortable clothes . He later walks in with a cup of hot cocoa.
Thank you was all I could say I was sad and hurt but I didn't know what to do .
Justin " I guess we have each other for Christmas "
Alexa " I guess so "
Justin " am sorry Zach blurted that out "
Alexa " I don't blame him he didn't know "
Justin " that still didn't give him the right to talk about it "
Alexa " don't worry its fine "
I rest my head on the bed board and think about my past few days I almost fall asleep but he takes the cocoa from my hand and gently kisses my forehead he covers me in the sheets and leaves.
how can I repay him for this I always run to him when in need and he's always here I must say the girl who ends up with him will be extremely lucky.
I woke up the next day to receive a shocking and heart breaking text . Could it be !
