The Loser's Question

*caution* Inappropriate Language Below!

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" I opened my frontdoor to see Amaris,
Beaton, Ewan, Gunnar, Kevin, and Valfrid.  I was currently wearing my pjs. (Up)

"What the hel-" "Hey guys!" Narh cut me off.  I was so pissed.  Why were these idiots at my house for Christmas.

I turned to Narh and smiled, "I need to talk to you."  All of his friends did the 'ooh'. Narayan knew I was angry.

He nodded and I grabbed his ear.  I pulled him into the kitchen and glared at him, "We see them every day, you even invited them to our house ON CHRISTMAS!"

"Well, they asked if they could come over.  Mom said it was fine, Adeline's going to spend it with Zyon, so I was like who gives a fuck," he shrugged.  I was the type of person who wanted to hangout with my family on Christmas.  I didn't want freaking school mates to come to my house!

"UNBELIEVABLE!" I tugged on my hair and stormed out to see everyone surprised.

I gritted my teeth and glared at them, "Mess with anything and I will rip either your boobs or balls off."  They all nodded.

Soon everyone pilled around our tree and chatted.  The anger in me slowly vanished, but I still wanted to be with my mom and brother.  My mom will agree to anything, Narh doesn't get that.

I get up from the couch and run up the stairs to check on her, "Mom?"

"Yes baby?" I opened the door to see her laying in bed.  She had a smile on, but I could tell she was upset.  My mother and father would sing a song in French and Romanian.

I crawled onto the bed and laid with her, "joyeux Noël, Craciun Fericit." I hugged her and she did the same back.(Merry Christmas in French and Romanian)

My mother was lonely and missed my father.  Narayan never mourned over his death, because Narayan thought he needed to be strong.  I still see him looking at our dad's portrait on the wall.

We whispered Christmas songs until she fell asleep.  I got out and covered her up.  I kissed her forehead and exited the room, "I heard you two."

Valfrid was leaning on one of the many pillars in my house, "It is my mother tongue."

"God Jul, Feliz Natal," he smiled, "Merry Christmas in my common tongue.

"Swedish and Portuguese," I tilted my head.  He nodded and leaned on the other side of the pillar.

"If I knew you would be unhappy with us coming here, I would've made all of us stay at my place," I felt guilt run through me.

"After my father past, my family has been broken.  Last year we didn't even have Christmas.  So, I wanted to keep my family alive and together.  I just felt...... Like I could never have that Christmas with my father laughing and singing French Christmas songs or my mother baking and cooking the entire day, while doing that singing Romanian songs.  I miss it.  I want that joyful Christmas again," I felt tears threatening to fall.

Soon I felt my body being crushed.  Warmth emanted onto me, Valfrid was hugging me.  Soon his soft voice entered my ears, "Craciun Fericit." I was shocked.

"I couldn't figure out how to say the other one, I think the one I said was the Romanian one," I nodded and wrapped my arms around him.

"Joyeux Noël," I laughed a bit.

"Joyeux Noël," his Swedish accent sounded funny when he said it.

"God Jul," he chuckled at my accent.
