Casey's P.O.V :

"CASEY! GET OUT OF BED!" my mum shouted up the stairs. It's 15th of December and me and Millie are going shopping for Christmas presents. My mum thought it'd be a good idea to invite Millie and Ryan round for Christmas. I have no idea why but as long as I get to spend Christmas with my girl. I'm not complaining.

I rolled over expecting Millie to be there but she wasn't. I did hear her cute laugh from down stairs though. I got up and chucked on a top and some jeans and walked down stairs. "Good morning everyone. Good morning babe." I smiled kissing her softly. "Alright Case remember I maybe accepting you's two but not infront of me." Ryan laughed covering his eyes. "What like this?" Millie laughed kissing me again but this time when she pulled away she bit my lip. "I'm done. Millie that was not necessary." He laughed putting his plate in the dishwasher. "Oh it was." She laughed carrying on eating. "Babe that's not very nice." I growled in her ear. "Sorry babe." She laughed getting up and tidying up her mess. "Are you still coming Christmas shopping with me?" She asked using the puppy dog eyes. "Nope." I stated bluntly but still with a smile on my face. "Please." She pouted even more, gently dragging her fingers lightly over my arms. "Well how can I say no to that." I laughed, gently kissing her. "Okay well we'll leave in about an hour I need to go get ready." She smiled walking away. I'm so glad I've got her

Millie's P.O.V :

So I've got everyone's presents including Casey's and I'm hoping they all like them. I can't wait for Christmas. It's gonna be the best since my parents died. I know there isn't much comparison considering I've only had one Christmas without them but that was a really depressing Christmas.

"We're ordering pizza do you guys want anything?" Tracy asked us as we walked into the living. "I'm not really that hungry but thank you Tracy." Casey and Ryan both looked at me funny but I left it. "Are you sure?" Tracy asked again with a hit of concern in her voice. "Positive." I smiled back. "Case what do you want?" "Usual." He replied still looking at me with worry. "I'm just gonna go put this upstairs." And I left. Don't worry I do eat. I just don't wanna eat right now. "Why are you not eating?" Casey asked, concern evident in his voice. "I just don't feel like eating. That's all." I shrugged hoping he'd drop the subject. "I didn't see you eat much yesterday or today either." He pestered. "Case I'm fine. I am eating I promise." He looked unsure but dropped it anyway. Thank God.

We sat down on the sofa and a few hours passed and I was getting really tired so Casey picked me up and took me upstairs. I quickly fell asleep with him laying beside me. Sleeping has become a lot easier since I've been staying with Casey.

James' P.O.V :

I rolled over gently, seeing Pheobe still sleeping with her lips parted slightly. She looked so beautiful asleep, but I couldn't resist waking her up from her peaceful slumber. I pecked a light kiss to her cheek, down her jaw line, up to her temple and down to her lips, repeating the same thing until her eyes fluttered open. "Good morning beautiful." I smiled kissing her cheek again. "James it's like so early. That's not fair." She pouted hiding her face from the light, streaming through the window. "Come on, we're gonna go for a walk." I laughed tugging the duvet away from her face. "You must be on drugs. I ain't going out in that." "C'mon get up, we're gonna get a McDonald's breakfast." As soon as I mentioned that she was up like the speed of light. "What are you waiting for then! Get up!" She shouted excitedly. "We're walking though." I laughed causing the smile on her face to fall. "What we're over 16 so we ain't got our oyster card and I can't drive yet." She heavily sighed and started to get dressed anyway.

"I hate you." She growled as we started walking to the nearest McDonald's which was about 20 minutes walk from my house. "C'mon stop complaining." "You seriously need to hurry up and learn how to drive." She said as we got to the end of my road. "I know I do you don't have to tell me." She still didn't look happy that we have to walk but she come round and it'll be fine. I hope.

We got to McDonald's and Pheobe went to sit down whilst I ordered. I went to join her and we sat and ate our breakfast. "So where are we going after here?" "We're gonna go ice skating." "Really?!" She screamed. "Yeah." "Omg I can't wait I love ice skating." "Are you good then?" "Yes. Of course I am. Are you?" She asked. "Yeah I'm alright but I haven't done it in ages." "Same but last time I was good." We finished eating our breakfast and I can see Pheobe wants to go because she's so excited. "Do you want to go now?" "Yes. Let's go." She literally jumped up, grabbed her bag and walked out. I shook my head following her out.

*Skip journey*

We got to the rink and get our skates but Pheobe's on the ice before I've even tied my second lace up. She starts skating and she looks so elegant and peaceful. I got up and went to join her. I caught up to her and wrapped my arms round her waist from behind. She turned round grabbed my hands and carried on skating. "You really are good at skating." I said shocked because when she said she was good I thought she meant she could basically skate not skate backwards or anything. "Did you think I was lying?" She asked kinda disappointed. "No I just didn't realise you could skate backwards. Pheobe, you're really good." I said trying to make myself sound like a good boyfriend. She slowed her skating, kissed me then went off for a quick lap before coming back to me.

We were skating for two hours and we were both getting bored. We came off the ice and sat down to take our skates off "What do you want to do now?" I turn and ask Pheobe. "I don't mind babe, what do you want to do?" "I'm asking you princess." I say, I chose to go ice skating so it's her turn to decide. "Okay then can we go out for dinner?" She asks unsure. "Yeah of course we can princess. Where do you want to go?" "Somewhere nice but casual...Harvester?" "Perfect." "Can we go back to yours so I can get changed before we leave?" "Yeah of course we can." We returned our skates and walked back home. Pheobe intertwined her fingers with mine and was rubbing her thumb up and down my hand. We had random conversations on the home but they were all funny.

When we got home Pheobe ran upstairs and went into my room and I followed after. She was getting changed into a pair of black leggings with a ....... shirt. I got changed into a button up shirt and black skinny jeans whilst Pheobe applied natural eye make up and lip balm. We both sat on my bed and put our shoes on. We walked downstairs and mum still wasn't in so I wrote a note 'Mum, we won't be home for a while, we've gone out for dinner so don't do us anything either. Be back later, James.' I put the note in the kitchen and we left.

We got to the harvester, eventually but this time Pheobe was okay with walking. We had our dinner and a few drinks but about two hours after we started to walk home. At about 10:00pm we got home. I shouted through the door frame "Night mum, night dad." Me and phone both went upstairs and got ready for bed. Even though Pheobe hasn't cut for two weeks and my mum and dad know about it she still insists on wearing long sleeves. We both get into bed and huggle like usual. I kiss Pheobe on the top of her head and said "Night princess." "Night babe." We both lay there and fall asleep
