I sit downstairs with my family thinking about what it's like at the Richardson house hold, I bet their Christmas mornings are magical.

I wish Blake was here to see what it's like at my house on Christmas, considering my family is massive it's a very busy day which means lots of drunk family members, stupid arguments and many children running around but I wouldn't have it any other way.

We've all finished opening our presents and eating our meals but all I can think about is Blake

"What's up with you bub?" My mum asks sitting next to me on the couch, I'm cuddled up with a blanket watching Christmas films.

"Food coma" I hum hoping I don't throw up

"your dad won't stop talking about Blake and how he could've came today"

"In a good way?" I look up at her with confusion in my expression

"Yes a good way"

"I guess dad likes Blake more than me" I jokingly say placing my head onto her thighs as she strokes my hair

"Oh shush silly"

After watching elf and home alone I decide it's time to go up to my room considering it's 10pm and it's starting to get cold downstairs

I lay on my stomach in my bed waiting for a certain boy to answer the phone

"Baby" he says and I can practically hear the smile through the phone, my stomach fills with butterflies as I hide my blushed face in my hood.

"I miss you"

"I miss you too even though we've been apart only two days"

"Two days too many" I sigh leaning back in bed wishing for a hug from Blake

"Can you come down to mine on New Years? Only if you want too though"

"Of course"

"Our first New Years together"

"I'm excited" I giggle

We speak until 4am and decide it's time for us to say goodbye and go asleep, I never realised how much I depend on Blake until now I feel like I'm not myself without him here.
