Just Friends Christmas Novels & Stories

Annie depended on me to make sure I figured things out and I would. It wouldn’t help to worry about it, though. Time would tell what would happen with that situation. I had a pretty good idea, but I would cross that bridge when I got to it. Shoving my worries over the possibility of becoming unemployed out of my mind, right along with my sadness over the death of my boss, I focused on Annie instead. “Mommy,” she said, her bright blue eyes wide. “Did you know Justin got a dragon for Christmas? He told me when Denise and I saw him at the store yesterday.”

I wish I could slip out of here but the annoying pixie by the door is blocking me in. "Why can't we just be friends again?" Izzy asks sadly and Briar lets out a heavy sigh. "We were never friends, Izzy. That wasn't what real friendship is." She says firmly and my heart soars when she looks over at me, warmth in her eyes. Pride fills my body and I naturally gravitate towards her. I stand behind her, soaking up her closeness and letting her know I'm here if she needs me. Izzy watches our interaction before she turns on her heel and leaves us alone.

"I acted like an asshole. I should have trusted Winter more. But you have to understand, she's my mate. I can't just sit here and do nothing. She means everything to me.” Elena looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears. “You're right, Enzo. I am a horrible friend. If it was winter or Lily in my shoes right now, they wouldn’t just give up on me. They would go to the ends of the earth to find me. “ her voice cracked as she spoke. “They were my best friends and have always been there for me.” Elena paused for a second, gathering her thoughts. “the only way we are going to find winter is if we find Lily.”

I said I forgave him. He let go. He walked away. He did not look back. I closed the door. I locked it. Luca asked if he was really gone. I said yes. Eli held me. The painting watched. That night, we sat at the table. Nine people. One table. Eli raised his glass. He said to peace. Luca raised his. I raised mine. Derek raised his. Luke raised his. Damien raised his. Derek's father raised his. Hope raised her sippy cup.

Before I could figure out what was going on, a tall and slender woman approached Dylan and me. She locked arms with Dylan and shot me an irritated look, asking, "Who's this?" Dylan answered before I could even say a word, speaking in a tone that made it seem like we had coincidentally run into each other. "She's Blake's girlfriend. She came to look for him." The woman immediately dropped her guard and curiously gave me a once-over. She smiled sweetly and introduced herself as Trixie Ashford. She was Dylan's girlfriend, and she had returned to the country specifically to celebrate Christmas with him.

No, thanks. -Why not? Here you will have fun! -She says very sure of herself. -Because I prefer to spend Christmas with my friends- I lie again- Don't worry about me, mom. Jason has gone on a trip with his family so they can all be together, and Gigi has gone to spend a few days at Mark's house. And that's it, I don't have any more friends. - Well it's fine, whatever you want- she finally accepts, somewhat disgusted.

“Penny, here’s your phone—” Both of my friends were passed out on each other’s shoulders. I inhaled deeply again, closing my eyes to let the warm scents of Christmas swirl around me as I realized that my life could finally start fresh.

Sasha continued, desperate for something to say in order to fill up the silence, "I don’t think I've ever met anyone like her… she's the only one I can call a friend." "Ouch" Kaleb said, clutching his chest playfully, "You are saying you don't consider me a friend? Such a hurtful thing to say, doll face. You wound me!" Sasha punched him playfully, "Stop calling me, doll face. And you know what I meant. Besides, it's the truth. We have never been friends… Why do you suddenly care about that now?" He turned to face her fully, and Sasha held her breath. "Change is a part of life, is it not?" he asked, then continued without waiting for her to reply, "In fact, some people say it's constant. We w

On my wedding day, I had just stepped onto the aisle when a ripple of laughter spread through the crowd. "Take it all off, and she's got a body on her! Look at her face, like she's enjoying it!" I turned toward the voices and saw my ex-husband's photos of me blown up across the giant screen. They kept changing, one after another, explicit and impossible to ignore. All around the room, phones were already coming up as people started taking pictures. My hands began to shake. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my mother collapse. Behind Leon Coleman, Allison Fleming slapped her thigh and raised her voice, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Oh, wow. Leon showed these to the guys yesterda

She shrugged as she drank from her cup of hot cocoa. "I am here for you. If you need anything." I placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder with a smile on my face. "I don't know what I would have done without you Maria." She pulled me into a hug, "thank you. For always been there." "I will always be there for you. You're my bestfriend."
