Katelyn's point of view
"I don't want you to go back." I said as I held Jacob in my arms. "I want you to stay and let me paint on you and have you brush my hair and stay up with me all night and threaten to hurt people for hurting me." I told him.
"I have school too babe." Jacob said and I pouted. "I'll see you soon though. You and Mikey are coming down for Christmas anyways."
"Exactly. We'll see you two soon. It's not like we're leaving forever." Luke said and I looked at him. I still don't like him.
"Fine." I sulked and then sighed. "I'll see you guys soon." I said and then kissed Jacob real quick before kissing Luke's cheek. I have to act like I like him at least.
"Bye baby, I'll see you soon." Michael said and I turned away as the two decided now was a perfect time for a make-out session.
"It'll be Christmas before you even know it. Trust me." He said and I nodded. "Come here, give me a hug." He said and I gave him a hug.
"Please don't die."
"I won't." He said and chuckled. "Tell Nick that I said hi and to keep people away from my girl." He said and I nodded.
"I will." I said and nodded. We pulled away once the two decided to stop making out and I waved as they opened the door.
"Wait." I said and ran up to Jacob. "You better Skype me when you land or before you nap. I need to know you're okay. Also, tell Kaleb I said he's a shithead and tell you little sister that I don't know her but I love her because Larry is so real."
"But they both dated girls?"
"Sweetie, you don't know your shit like I do. Clearly, Larry are fucking behind the closed closet doors because 'brotherly love' isn't getting like seven matching tattoos, sharing a flat, shameless staring, and lots of flirting. Baby, shh." I said and pressed my finger against his lips. "Just tell her."
"Got it." He said and laughed. "Also, don't talk like that. That's inappropriate."
"You're inappropriate."
"Nice comeback, but we have to go before we miss our flight." He said and kissed my nose. "Michael." He said and I hugged as he pulled me back.
A cold gust air hit me and I shivered slightly. "Bye guys." Luke said and I just rose an eyebrow at him before he closed the door, clearly noticing that I wasn't about to run up at him and hug him like I did with Jacob.
"Ugly Christmas sweaters, hot chocolate, and old Christmas movies?" Michael asked me and I looked at him.
"Have an ugly sweatshirt I can borrow?" I asked and he nodded. We went upstairs and I pulled my sweatshirt off since I had a tight long sleeve underneath.
I took his ugly green sweater and then out it on, laughing at the speech bubble coming from Santa. "Merry Christmas, kiss my ass." I read and he nodded as he put another one one that said 'all I want for Christmas is booze because fuck you'.
"My friends are idiots." He said and I nodded and I jumped into the bed. "I'll make our drinks, find a movie." He said and I nodded.
I grabbed the remote and then I looked at his phone as it buzzed. I grabbed it and then unlocked it since I knew his password. I looked at the twitter notification and noticed it was one of Jacob's tweets.
'#KingofTheNewBrokenScene' he tweeted with a picture of the safety pin heart I drew on his back. A small crown was in the corner and I signed his back with a sharpie once the paint had dried.
I retweeted it and then sent him heart emojis with a recent picture of myself from Michael's phone. I put the caption '#QueenofTheNewBrokenScene' and then sent it out.
I giggled as people began to reply and favorite it. I scrolled through them and my smile faded a bit because ouch, some people are mean.
'PR stunt, when will she know Mikey'
I already know.
'That gap between her teeth is bigger than the age gap between me and my fave'
The gap between my teeth still isn't big enough to fill the gap between your level and mine booboo, fight me.
'Merry Christmas, all I want is for her to leave bc she broke Muke up'
Actually, they broke up because you're precious Hemmings isn't as pure as you think he is but whatever. Believe what you will.
'Ew, why are you posting pictures of her? No one really cares tbh post a selfiee'
Funny, just yesterday you tweeted me that you love me and think I'm beautiful.
'Hoe Hoe Hoe that's all she is'
At least I'm having fun being a hoe, my best friend is gay, my adopted parents are gay, and I've had one boyfriend. Yep, I'm such a hoe.
'Someone needs to learn how to apply eyeliner correctly'
Everyone wears eyeliner differently, maybe I didn't want to smudge it and look like 2007 Pete Wentz or pink haired Michael Clifford.
'Her eyebrows are uneven'
At least I have eyebrows, your's ran away because your breath stank from talking so much shit.
I giggled as I realized most of the 'insults' were amusing and then I backed out. Only one or two really got to me, but the rest just made me want to laugh and drag someone, but I'm nice so I didn't.
I sent out a tweet with the laughing emoji and then put my name at the end so people know I was on his account. I sent one more that said 'you're all funny, I love you too' and then turned his phone off.
I out his phone back down and then randomly selected a movie that was playing. I looked through them and squealed. "The Nightmare Before Christmas!" I said happily and then played it.
Who cares if half of it was over already? You still have another half to watch.
Michael came in and I smiled as he handed me a mug. "Thank you Mikey." I said and he nodded as I set my mug on the nightstand.
"Oh shit, I love this movie more than I love myself, which is a lot." He said and I laughed. "I used to watch it all the time with my mum and dad, along with Home Alone and various other Christmas movies. It was the only time we ever like we're a normal famy." He said and I looked at him.
"What do you mean by that? A normal family?" I asked him and he kept his eyes on the screen.
"We never really did stuff as a family, they didn't like how I was gay and how I had dreams of being in a band. I was like an abomination to them but during Christmas, it was the only time I ever really felt like their child. It's the only time I felt like we were an actually family with the dinners at the table, the gathering around the tree, the movie nights, and then the 'I love you's." He said and I nodded.
"Oh, I see." I said and my heart hurt a bit as I thought about it. "That must of sucked Michael, they only cared on Christmas?"
"Let's just say, they told me 'I love you' more times during Christmas than they did throughout the whole year." He said and I nodded. "That's why I am the way I am. I'm... clingy and pushy and protective. I wanted that since my parents didn't give it to me and I just," he didn't even finished his sentence. He just shrugged and then took a drink out of his mug.
"Oh." I said and he nodded. "It's okay. If it makes you feel any better, I kind of like it when you're pushy and clingy and protective. It shows that you actually care. I didn't like it when you shrugged everything off and just like... like didn't care." I told him and he looked at me.
"Yeah?" He asked and I nodded. He nodded himself and smiled. "Come here, let's watch this movie and then see what else is on. This is almost over." He said and I nodded.
I scooted closer to him and grabbed my mug as I took a small drink of the cooled liquid. I leaned my head on his shoulder and then he looked at me.
"I hope you know, I'm trying my best at this parenting thing love." He said and I nodded.
"I know, and just so you know, for a majority of it, you're doing a pretty good job." I said and he kissed my forehead after he chuckled.
"I hope so. I mean, my baby ships Larry, I must be doing something right." He said and I laughed. I took a drink of my hot cocoa and he laughed himself.
"Oh, Nick and I are doing some kind of gift exchange this Friday. Do you think you can take me to the mall before then to buy him some things?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, I can do that. What do you want to get him?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Nicki Minaj shirts, maybe some cologne and a pair of joggers." I said and he nodded. "He loves Nicki, he only wears joggers, and he needs some cologne because that vanilla scented shit he sprays irritates my soul."
"I see." He said and chuckled. "We can go Wednesday. Tomorrow and Tuesday I'm shopping online for Luke, you, and Calum." He told me and I nodded.
"Got it." I said and then reached over to set my mug on his nightstand. He grabbed the remote since the movie was over and then looked through them.
"This is a good movie." He said as he clicked on some movie that just started. It was called Like Sunday, Like Rain. "It's basically about a twelve year old who like falls in love with his baby sitter who's single, broke, and had no place to really stay because her boyfriend was a dick."
"Sounds interesting." I said and then Michael giggled a bit. I looked at him weirdly and he looked at me.
"Billie Joe Armstrong is in this movie, the lead singer in the band Green Day." He said and I nodded, not knowing who he is. "I like, love him so much."
"I bet you do Michael. I bet you do." I told him and he pushed me slightly as we laughed.
