~ The first week had gone by in a flash. Snow sledding, skiing, and we even went ice skating. Now, it being the second week and everything, it had calmed down from wanting to do everything and was just relaxing, watching movies by the fire place, or going back outside to try to roast some s'more again. We've even taken to building snow forts and snowmen, even having snowball fights. Even that was just three days into the second week. Being now that it is the 11th day of the trip, and we only have 3 days left here before we go back home for Christmas, we were all getting a little more calmed down. Just trying to enjoy every last minute of this trip before it all goes away. Jason had gotten pissed at me more this week than he had last week, though the furthest he ever took it, since we were surrounded by people, was re-hurting my bruised hip, or a light slap that would disappear within an hour or two. "There you are, Ty! I was wondering where you were off to." Carrie said from up on
"Come on! Its time to exchange our gifts!!"Jamie and Carrie squealed happily, bouncing in their seats."Just cal, down, I gotta go grab mine" I rolled my eyes at them, then ran upstairs. I opened up the drawers on the dresser and pulled out 4 gift boxes, one for everyone except Ty and Jason. Because they will get theirs when we see our families for Christmas."All right! We can start now" I called as I came down the stairs."Right, just set the presents on the coffee table and we will grab them one by one. Going around the circle."Jamie said as she helped me set mine down with everybody else's."Okay, so Jamie will go first. Then clockwise around the circle, so Damien will be next, then Ty then Dakota, then Jason and so on so forth" Carrie explained.We started going around in the circle, Jamie was first, and she opened up her present from me first. She squealed happily when she opened it, then ran around the table and hugged me. I had gotten her her favorite band's new CD, and their
~"Yay! Finally out!" the twins cheered as they hopped out of the van, stretching their legs from sitting so long."Yep! Now, I gotta go guy's"Matt said as he hurriedly got his things out of the back of the van."Yep, you might wanna hurry up Matty. don't want your mommy to ground you for being late!" Damien called out to him as he walked away. Matt just flipped him off, causing Damien and us to all laugh harder."Wow, I think my ride just left me" Ty said, coming up next to me."Matt was your ride?" I asked, trying not to laugh."Yep, and I don't think that he is coming back" Ty shook his head at his friend."That sucks" I laughed, he pursed his lips and playfully squinted at me. "um what I mean is... did you want a ride?" I quickly said before he could think of throwing me over his shoulder again."You don't mind?" he asked."No, what kind of question is that?" I rolled my eye's at him. "where you staying at?""Well, I was staying at Matt's. But since it's christmas tomorrow, I was
We started opening presents, youngest to oldest, so of coarse I went first and then it went around from there. Tyler's mom was like a little kid, bouncing up and down in her seat. But she was even more excited when we would open our presents from her, than when she would get one herself.Every now and then I would catch Tyler and Jason have a small glaring contest, though it would always be over as fast as it started.We all got both real gifts, and some gag gifts. The most embarrassing one that wasn't shown, was one from my mom to my dad. His eyes lit up when he opened it, but he never took it out of the box. Instead he started making suggestive comments to my mom, and they got all flirty with each other. It was cute, but since they were my parents, it was down right embarrassing to watch, and also made me want to gag slightly."Come on, save it for when I'm not in the room, please!" I begged my parents, they both started laughing at me, but stopped the commenting."Aw, Kota. Are you
~"So what did Tyler get for you?" Jamie and Carrie asked. They had called me the next morning at ten just to make sure I was up and ready for our lunch get together, now, as soon as I walk into their house, that's the first question they decided to ask me."Hello to you too." I said sarcastically, chuckling as I make my way to their couch."Whatever," Jamie rolls her eye's at me while smiling. "but really, What did he get you?" She asks again as she plops down on the couch next to me, then not even seconds later, Carrie plopped down on my other side. The twins had me caged in on both sides, trapping me into telling them, like I wasn't going to already. I mentally shook my head with a smile at them."Yeah! Come on, tell us." Carrie said all giddy."He got me candy, a book, a pocket knife and a shirt that say's- My Best friend is a shark."I said that last one chuckling."a shark?" Jamie was confused."Yeah, you know. Because he's a Marine" I said."Wait, i've seen shirts like that. Exc
When the police arrived they immediately called an ambulance. They tried to start asking me questions on what happened, but Ty demanded that I see a paramedic first. But he did tell them what happened from when he came in, the whole time not letting me go from his side.When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics came over to me, and the others started checking Jason. Since he was unconscious, they loaded him up on a gurney and took him out of the room, with a cop supervising of coarse.The medics set me down on the couch and started examining me, shining the light in my eyes to check their dilation, and making sure I didn't have a concussion. The poked and prodded my ribs, checking to make sure that none were broken. Then they tended to my cut lip and wrapped my ribs up, just for precaution so they don't a possible fracture. After checking everything, and I do mean everything. They finally left, giving me a prescription for main and faster healing, and took Jason off with them.He wil
~When I woke up, the smell of sizzling Bacon and pancakes tickled my nose. I inhaled deeply as i slowly sat up, then hopped out of bed and made my way to the kitchen where i heard music coming from as well. i smiled when I saw Ty leaning over the stove, flipping pancakes once again and dancing to the music he had playing from his iPod. instead of coming up behind him like i did last time to scare him, i just leaned against the doorway with an amused smile as he danced and played around.When the pancake was done, he added it to the stack over to the side of the stove. Then he gathered the bacon off the Skillet and plated it, then he turned and went to the fridge. When he shut it he had orange juice in his hand, he turned around on his way to the cabinets and saw me.A smile lit up his face and he set the orange juice down and cups, then he reached out and gestured for me to grab his hand. I smiled, rolling my eye's, but stuck my hand out to him anyway.as son as he grabbed my hand, h
"Hey, Military's Girl!" someone called, I furrowed my eyebrows and turned around to see where the voice was coming from, and saw a guy around my age waving to me."Um, hi?" I said, more like a question because I was confused."So Tyler is back in town?" he asked as he fell in step beside me as I walked down the schools hallway. I clutched my books tighter and found myself side stepping a little as I walked."Yeah, he is...," I said nodding my head, trying to figure out if I know this guy or not."oh, sorry. I'm Greg, I was a friend of Tyler's when he was here.. But I'm also in your English class, I sit in the back though so you've probably never noticed me""Oh... oh wait! You're that dude that accidentally threw his pencil across the room." I said, finally remembering where I saw him."Yeah, that's me." he smiled sheepishly. "but yeah, anyway. I just wanted to see if the rumor's were true, that he was back. I'll see you in class" He waved as he walked away, I gave him a small smile a
