It was Christmas morning. You woke up alone again. What the hell? You didn't mean to sleep the rest of the day away yesterday. You walked into the kitchen, no Billy. You started to go to the door when you noticed him asleep on the couch. Beer cans and an ashtray next to him.

You walked quietly over to him and brushed a curl out of his eyes. You leaned down and kissed his forehead. His eyes fluttered open. "Merry Christmas," you said softly. He groaned. "It's early." He mumbled. "It's Christmas!" You bubbled.

"Alright, alright." He said sitting up slowly. You sat down next to him. "You could have woke me up when you got home." You said reaching out to grab his hand. He stood up. "I gotta piss." He said.

Someone is grumpy today. You heard the shower turn on, then your AC/DC record start. 'Back in Black' playing loudly. You decided to dress up today. Maybe Billy would be in a better mood after his shower.

You picked out a deep red dress. It was low cut and made your boobs look great. You curled your hair and put on some makeup. You walked back out to the living room to wait for Billy.

You noticed a small red present under the tree. It was wrapped in a pretty white ribbon. You walked over and picked it up, smiling. This must have been what he was doing yesterday.

You had gotten his present weeks ago but you hadn't really expected him to get you anything. This was so sweet. He walked out and saw you holding the present. "I see you found your present." He said smiling at you.

"Is it from Santa?" You joked. "It's a surprise," he smirked. He grabbed a cigarette off the coffee table and lit it. He sat down on the couch and patted next to him for you to sit. "This is really sweet, Billy." You leaned over and kissed him gently.

He grabbed your chin pulling you back in and kissed you deeply. His hands came up to your face as he continued to kiss you passionately. You pulled away breathless. There was something in his eyes you couldn't quite place.

"Open it," he said smoke rolling out of his nostrils. You excitedly untied the ribbon. You unwrapped the paper. There was a plain, brown box underneath. You opened the lid and looked inside.

Your heart sunk to the floor. Your eyes filled with tears. You felt like you were going to throw up. You slowly raised your eyes to look at Billy. "Do you like it?" He said with an evil grin.

You tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out.  There was a giant lump in your throat. "I listened to it, it's really great." He said in a chilling voice. In the bottom of the box was the mixtape Eddie had made for you.
