Aronaj POV

I was excited as I woke up screaming in the house "It's Christmas You Potatoes!" They walked out of there bedrooms Aaron saying "You practical scared us to death." I said, "Mr.Kim I'm sorry but I have no fucks to give so everyone grab the drinks I made that are at your seats, and let's start." He looked appalled as we all sat down.

I passed out presents here and the opening mine there was a lot of happiness and joy in the room it felt like a big family that I loved and cared for I got teary-eyed thinking about it when Rose asked: "What's wrong AJ?" All eyes on me I smiled saying "You guys make me feel at home away from home like this is just a big family of people who are a bit broken." Aaron hugged me saying "We will always be your family no matter what as we love you and seem to love each other." I smiled saying "I love this time of year because my family is all in one place together."

We all then finished opening up everything as Ender, Me, Rose, Alec, and Cameron we're going to my house to see my family today.

As I wanted to officially introduce my family to my boyfriend I was nervous yet excited so I ran to my room and got into a cute outfit but warm as it was cold and surprisingly snowy which is rare in my hometown Medina.

I made sure to put on a bigger jacket so I won't be cold as Medina when it had snow didn't play around as it was cold and snow for a while at a time. So we walked to the car and got in then started to drive me having my gifts for my family in the car with me also my friends gifts as I knew it was 9:00 am but my family would be awake as my brother everyone them up and they opened everything.

We got there after about 30 minutes which made me excited so I got out of the car and walked up with my friends opening the door running in the house yelling "Guess Who's Back in Town." My family all smiled greeting me I hugged each one of them as my friends hugged my family as well as they are like godchildren to my family.

When my brother asked, "Who's that boy Jeffey ?" I explain "Everyone meets my boyfriend Cameron Phillips." My Mother teases saying "So this is the boy you told us all about." I nodded as I saw my brother glaring at him out the side of my eye so I went and hugged my little brother saying "He will never mess with our relationship or take me away from you little brother." He looks at me saying straight "I don't like him." I just said, "You'll warm up to him as I really like him." My brother nodded still looking suspicious.

After that, and my friends hung out with my family having fun like we should as my family took a true liking to Cameron which I'm happy for.

We walked out of the house as it was getting late when I said "I have one more person I want you to meet Cameron." He asked, "Who I thought I met everyone?" I looked at the road with a small smile "Well she's important and I want you to meet her." My friends slightly knowing who I'm talking about. When she got there I smiled sadly when we got near her grave saying "Come on let's go." So he got out so did I.

We are asked towards her grave and I sat down smiling sadly tearing coming out my eyes saying "This is who I wanted you to meet." I continued "This is my godmother Doris she died when I was in the 8th grade of cancer." He said, "I'm sorry for your lost." I responded saying "Well I didn't truly get to say goodbye she died while I was at school and my mother told us there was something to talk about. We drove home and I was joking to my brother asking if he was in trouble and trying to lighten the mood. When we got home my aunt was outside me, my brother, and mother got out the car and they held our hands saying "I'm sorry she's gone" those words broke me I bust out crying saying no over and over I felt like my whole world had crashed before my eyes. I was already struggling I was hoping they were lying but they weren't I went into the house and laid in my bed crying." I was crying hard as he said "It's not your fault." I then said, "Can I talk to her alone please thank you?" He nodded going to the car and I busted out crying really hard I was lying in the snow crying as I was sad she was gone I asking "How are you? I hope you well as you see I got a boyfriend his name, Cameron Phillips. I really love him and hope our relationship lasts as he's a really great person." At that moment I stop as I felt numb I didn't feel anything Cameron had to come and pick me up and put me in the car me sitting in his lap extremely quiet I didn't speak the whole ride back when we got there Cameron carried me bridal style and sat me by the fire.

I kept quiet saying nothing which alarmed everyone in the house as that's not a good thing and everyone knows that like the back of their hands.

I just sat there when I started to sneeze and cough that's when they realized I got sick so Aaron brought me some Hershey's hot cocoa with extra whipped cream and Hershey chocolate sauce.

I said thanks in sign language as I only know a bit but it helps at times like these.

I drunk it all soon everyone decided to watch movies while  Cameron and I went to our room as I laid on his chest saying "Sorry for messing up Christmas." He said, "You never did it was the best holiday just because I got to get to know more about you." I smiled as I kissed his lips softly pulling away after a few seconds then he kissed me again when I jokingly said out of the blue "Let's get a marriage license and tell no one then when we get married just have a wedding." He looked at me crazy but after a couple of minutes of convincing, he agreed.

I smiled said we woods do it when we are off-break and then fell asleep."
