Please come home for Christmas- Posie (daughter)

Start from the beginning
                                    

"My Uber eats is here." Izzy says sheepishly which makes Lizzie scoff. The dirty blonde haired girl moves to open the door, gratefully taking the bag of food. "I'm gonna go upstairs and eat."

You clear your throat and raise an eyebrow at her. Izzy grins and kisses your cheek.

"Thanks, Y/NN." You shake your head and hold your hand out. She huffs and takes your card out of her pocket and hands it to you.

You glare at her and she giggles before running up stairs. Lizzie frowns confusedly.

"Last time I forgot to ask for my card back, she bought herself a Gucci bag." You explain and walk into the kitchen, your Aunt following you.

Lizzie snorts out a laugh. "Did you let her keep it?"

"No. It was 1000 dollars." You chuckle. "Do you want a drink?" You ask.

"Water please, sweetie." Lizzie replies and sits on one of the stools at the island in the middle of the kitchen.

You grab a bottle of water and pass it to her to which she thanks you for it. Lizzie studies you as you work around the kitchen to make the food, she can see how exhausted you are and it makes her frown.

"So, have your Moms got all the Christmas presents yet?" Lizzie asks.

You tense up, wanting to tell her everything but you know you can't. "Uh yeah, they have."

"Y/N, are you alright?" Lizzie asks softly. "You look exhausted."

"I'm fine." You dismiss and smile at her. Lizzie sighs and walks over to you, pulling you into her arms.

"No you're not. Tell me what's wrong." Lizzie soothes and strokes your hair.

"I'm just tired." You tell her, which isn't exactly a lie but it's not the truth.

"Y/N, I suffered with my mental health all through high school, if you're feeling down you can always talk to me." Lizzie says softly.

You sniff away your tears and hug her back, soaking in the comfort she brings you. Lizzie frowns sadly and tightens her hold on you, kissing your head.

"I'm not sad, I'm just stressed." You admit. "Mom and Mama aren't around much and schools really hard at the moment, and they're just not here for me. I know we're on Christmas break now, but I still haven't heard back from any colleges yet and I'm trying to look after the twins and Izzy as well, but I can't."

"Baby, you're going to get into college you just have to keep positive. You work so hard and any college will be lucky to have you. And as for your Moms, I'll talk to them, ok? Why don't you go up stairs for a nap? I'll sort the twins dinner out." Lizzie tells you.

"But-"

"Not buts. You need sleep." Lizzie says sternly which makes you sigh.

"Ok." You agree, too tired to fight with her.
"Thanks, Aunt Lizzie."

"Anytime, sweetheart." She smiles and kisses your forehead.

You make your way upstairs and collapse in your bed, falling asleep instantly.




"Go on, up to bed." You tell Izzy who pouts at you. "It's 11pm, it's past you bed time, Iz, go."

"Fine. Good night, Y/NN." Izzy says and hugs you.

"Night, Babygirl, I'll see you in the morning." You smile at her before she trudges up the stairs.

You go into the kitchen and make sure all the vegetables you prepped for tomorrow are covered and the meat.

It's Christmas tomorrow so you decided to cut and chop all the vegetables up tonight and cook the meat so all you have to do tomorrow and a cook then then serve it up.
