Sydney

I sat on my sofa, cuddled up with my blanket watching Home Alone 2. One of my hands was in a tub of Quality Streets, and in the other was a large glass of white wine.

It was Christmas Day

Harry had driven up to Holmes Chapel a few days ago, and I'd spent most of this week in bed or on my sofa.

Christmas was a shitty holiday, and even worse when it was spent alone.

Yes I was the one who had chosen to be here by myself, however I was sick of spending my Christmas Day in a club somewhere, or intruding on my friends family days.

Overall it was just a shitty day in any circumstances, and it always would be.

The only good thing about Christmas was the food, but sadly there was no point in me making a whole roast dinner for one.

So tonight's Christmas lunch was Chinese takeout, Cherry Pepsi and a tower of Profiteroles from Tesco.

Eating like a Queen

I'd been on the phone to Kenny who was at her families, having their usual huge Christmas. I was bummed about missing their annual Christmas Eve party, that was always the best.

Bella, Gigi and Zayn FaceTimed me from Pennsylvania, all wishing me a Merry Christmas and saying they can't wait to see me.

Justin and Niall dropped a couple texts to wish me a Merry Christmas, which I appreciated a lot. Harry said he'd call tonight, and Jaden did the same.

So I sat on my sofa, wishing I was a kid again running around Central Park like Kevin and not on my sofa solemnly.

Something I was grateful for was my tree, that stood proudly in the corner of the flat. Under it were a few rouge presents I hadn't sent yet, and ones that had arrived from brands.

The tree was beautifully decorated, the light from my balcony doors bouncing off the glass baubles making sun beams litter the walls.

Yes I am drinking at 3pm...it's Christmas so it doesn't count okay

A small knock on my door interrupted my thoughts. I automatically assumed it was the takeout I'd ordered, but quickly realised they hadn't been buzzed up.

My heart began to beat a little quicker, thinking who had the code into my building.

Niall and Louis did but they wouldn't be here, same with Harry. The girls were in America, and same with Zayn.

The only other person I thought of was Jordan. He didn't know my new code, but I was still apprehensive.

I removed my blanket and creeped towards my door, almost nervous. As I reached it, I looked through my peep hole and my mood instantly changed.

I threw open the door, to expose who was standing on the other side. Once they were in view, I jumped into their arms.

"Jay! Omg what are you doing here?" I exclaimed, as Jaden picked me up and span me around.

As my feet touched the ground again, he replied and said "I couldn't stand the thought of you being alone here, and since you're stubborn and wanted to prove you could do Christmas alone, I flew out."
