Lilia's POV
• thursday december 25th 7:19am •
"Merry Christmas." Jaeden says, kissing my cheek.

"Merry Christmas to you too, Jae-Bae." I laugh.

He was such a cutie.

"C'mon, let's open presentsss!" I exclaim, standing up and holding my hand out to him.

"Only for you." He groans and takes my hand.

I pull and he rolls out of bed. He stands up and we walk downstairs.

My Mom was sitting at the fire sipping on her coffee.

"Merry Christmas Mom." I say, sitting down in a couch.

"Merry Christmas darling. Jaeden! Merry Christmas!" She says standing up and hugging Jaeden.

He smiles sweetly.

My Mom grabs a present out from under the Christmas tree.

She hands it to me and I hurriedly open it.

It was a the book Me Before You franchise.

"Mom! I love it, thank you!" I smile.

My Mom hands me more presents and gives Jaeden a few.

"Okay, so my present from me to you guys is at home." Jaeden laughs.

"Mines upstairs! I'll go get it." I say, running back to my room.

I grab a neatly wrapped present from under my bed and I take it to Jaeden.

"Here you are!"

He opens it and smiles widely.

I got him a beanie.

It was a funny beanie but I knew he'd like it.

"Thank you so much! I love it." He says, happily putting it on his head.

He looked adorable in it.

"Do you want to go see if your Mom is home Jae?" I ask.

"Yeah. Why not?" He sighs.

We walk out of my house and down the street.

We arrive at his house and I knock on his door.

I hear light footsteps approach the door.

"Hi Angela. Merry Christmas!" I say, handing her a tin of shortbread cookies.

"You too Lilia." She smiles taking them.

"Hi Mom." Jaeden says.

"Hello Mr." She says, pulling him in for a hug.

We were welcomed inside and we walk up to his bedroom.

"Here's your present." He smiles and hands me a card with string ties around it.

I take the string off and open the card.

2 tickets to 'Grease Live!' on Broadway.

"Oh Jaeden. Thank you." I say with tears filling my eyes.

"Anytime." He smiles.

I hug him tightly.

"I love you so much. Thank you for everything." I say, wiping tears from my eyes.

"I love you too Lilia." He says.

"Ugh, I need to go." I say breaking out of our hug.

"Merry Christmas." He says.

"You too Jae." I say walking out of his bedroom.

That spark.

jaeden;
i need to talk to youuuuu

lilia;
okayyyy, call me?

jaeden;
fineeeee

My phone rings, I immediately answer it and put it on speaker.

"Hello!"

"Hi Jae-Bae."

"You're in a good mood."

"Uh-huh. Anyway so what did you wanna talk to me about?"

"Well it's shitty but good news."

"Okay?"

"Well, you remember that movie I auditioned for a few months?"

"Yeah! Did you get it?"

"Yeah, but I'm leaving on New Years. I won't be back for my birthday or the trip to New York."

"Oh."

"Don't be upset. I'm sorry."

"No, no. It's fine. I-I get it."

"Please Lilia, I'm sorry."

"I've gotta go.

"Please Lil-."

"Goodbye Jaeden."

I end the call and hug my pillow. A few tears streak down my cheek.

Why was I so upset? When he was filming The Book Of Henry I was fine. When he was filming IT I was fine.

It made no sense to me.
