All I want for Christmas
December 2016
"It's freezing out there." Amanda came running in the apartment.
"Come here." I opened my arms and she quickly curled up to me. Over the past couple of months, we have become a lot closer.
"How was your final?" I asked her.
"Wasn't too bad. You ready to go home tomorrow?"
"Ehh sorta."
"Why?"
"It's just not the same without my sister."
"I don't know her but I kind of understand her. She may be looking for information on her dad but on herself too. I'm sure you and your oldest sister treated her the same but she was little different."
"I guess but I wish she would at least call us and our mom more importantly." She nodded in agreement.
"Hey, you could, come with my family and listen to my dad preach."
"Maybe we should have Christmas here." She pulled away, looking at me.
"As great as that sounds, we have to go home to our families."
"Fine." I groaned pulling her back into me.
"You two making out?" Tony walked in smirking at us.
"Best friends, just best friends." She said.
"Right. Anyways you guys ready to party?"
"Yea we have everything." I nodded watching him struggling with his stuff. Tonight, was our last little get together before everyone heads home tomorrow.
"I don't want to go back in the cold." She groaned next to me. I don't understand why she just doesn't live here. Most of her friends live here and she's here enough as it is.
"I'm sure you can find something here or one of the girls have something."
"Your right." I smiled.
"You should just move in here."
"And sleep where?"
"The couch." I smirked before quickly pulling away from here. Honestly, we would probably end up sharing my room. She pulled away and went into Steph's room so she could get ready. I helped Tony get a few things ready before I went to get ready.
A few hours the party was in full swing and everyone was having a good time. I saw the girls dancing but I didn't see Amanda. Something didn't feel right not seeing her. Quickly I pulled away from the guys and went to look for her. I could hear crying in my room, so I made my way in.
"Mandy."
"Cohen." She said through a sob. She jumped into my arms and I held her tight. No one hurts my best friend and get away with it.
"Tell me what happened."
"Some guy tried going to far."
"Who?" I pulled away, fuming someone had done this.
"Cohen, no stay with me please." She pleaded grabbing my hand. Sighing I sat back down next to her, trying to calm down.
"Let's change and go to bed." I got her some clothes and we quickly changed. She quickly curled up to me, sighing.
"Thank you."
"I'm not going anywhere. Whenever you need me I'm always going to be there." I kissed her forehead, pulling her closer so she felt safe.
Waking up I found her clutching onto me tightly. Her face is so relaxed and at peace as she slept next to me. I rubbed my thumb across her forehead and cheeks, watching her take comfort in my touch. Her eyes opened and smiled once she saw me.
"Morning."
"Morning, you feeling a little better?"
"Yea, thank you for last night."
"Of course. You stay here and I'll go back us breakfast."
"Okay." I pulled away from her and went to the kitchen. The place was a mess and I'm not cleaning it up. Most of my night I was with Mandy so I didn't cause this.
Pancakes always made me feel better so I quickly made us some chocolate chip pancakes. Once they were done I took all the food and went back to my room. She was curled up on my show watching cartoons.
"Hey, I made us some breakfast." She smiled sitting up so I could sit down.
"These are so good." She moaned. I nodded trying to calm myself down after hearing her moan.
"After this I should probably head back to get ready."
"Want me to go with you?"
"I think I will be okay."
"Okay." She finished up and stood up. I smiled seeing her wearing my clothes.
"What?" She smiled.
"Nothing."
"Next time I see you, I'll give you your clothes back."
"Keep them."
"You sure?"
"Yea, they look better on you."
"Your right. Okay I need to get going, so I will call you later."
"Sounds good, you sure you don't want me to walk with you?"
"I'll be okay I promise." I nodded pulling her back into my arms holding her close. I'm really going to miss her over break.
"Call me when you get there." She nodded. I kissed her forehead before letting her go. I watched her leave before getting my things ready to go home.
"There's my baby boy." My mom smiled wrapping her arms around me.
"Hi momma."
"I'm so glad you're here."
"Me too, is there food."
"Of course, come on your dad is in the kitchen with your sister." I nodded setting my things down by the stairs. Mom smiled and came over wrapped her arms around my waist as we walked into the kitchen.
"Baby boy is here."
"How's school?" Dad asked.
"It's been really good. I'm doing good and I have some pretty amazing friends."
"That's good, happy for you."
(Amanda's pov)
I watched my little nephew snooze away in my arms. He really is the cutest little guy.
"Here let me take him." Jen smiled, scooping him out of my arms. Sighing I watched her take him over to his car seat so they can go home. Matt came over hugging me goodbye before leaving.
"So, Amanda any boyfriends?" Dad asked.
"No dad." I can't tell him about Cohen even if he is just my friend.
"Honey, leave her be. It's time to get to bed anyways."
"Fine." I kissed them good night before going back to my room. Cohen had texted me wanting to face time. Not being close to him sucks. I miss him driving me insane.
"Hey!" His smiling face appeared on my screen.
"Hey, I oddly miss you."
"It's okay I miss you too."
"So, did you have a good Christmas?"
"Yea, my sister called so we got to see her and my oldest sister is pregnant."
"Awe that's awesome. I'm sure your mom is happy."
"She is but it would be nice if she was here. Anyways tell me how your day went?"
"Good I got to watch my nephew open his presents. Honestly it's so much better watching a little kid open presents instead of your own."
"I agree watching my cousins is great. One day It will be even better watching my own." My heart swelled at the thought of him having kids.
"Your cheeks are getting red."
"Shut up."
"So, since I have a nickname, I think it's time you have one." I'm so thankful he decided to change the subject.
"Oh yea, what is it going to be?"
"Angel Eyes."
