Just Friends Christmas Novels & Stories

“Honestly, it’s probably better. I don’t want to see either of my stupid mates anyway. Let’s just eat, and I’ll help you guys pick out something killer to wear.” Mia pouts. “Maybe we shouldn’t go either.” “Don’t be ridiculous.” I shake my head, forcing a smile. “It’s Christmas. You guys should go out and have fun.” And just like that, my two best friends nod, trying to look cheerful as we head out. But I know them. They’re worried. Honestly? So am I. …..

I saw my uncle Alex approaching with his wife, and from their huge smiles, I could see that everyone was happy to see me among my parents. “Hi, Uncle Alex!” I moved away from my parents and went towards my uncles. I passed by Gaia and Arthur, who were trying to manage Sofia, who, at thirteen, was just like all of Athena’s twins. “Happy birthday, prince!” my uncle said as he hugged me. I returned the hug and approached Aunt Bonnie, who seemed ageless, still as beautiful as when I met her at fourteen. Everyone was there, all my relatives, and even Hope's parents were arriving, looking at the celebration among us all.

I point out. "We don't celebrate Christmas here," He says taking a deep breath. His mood suddenly changes. "What? Why not? I love Christmas so much" I say dramatically. He gives me a little smile. "We can do this here" he suggests. "Really. You'll do that for me" I say, tearing up. Don laughs at me for being dramatic. "See you later baby," he says before kissing me. "Morning!" The loud cheery voice of my newfound friend was across the room causing me to smile.

Chastity asked, sounding confused. “If I hadn’t met you I wouldn’t know what to do with my life. I also wouldn’t have met my mate. I didn’t really have many friends before you. Because of you I have all of that now.” “Oh. Well you’re welcome. I’m glad we became friends. You’re acting like we won’t see each other again though. You’ll be home for the week between Christmas, and New Years.” “True. We’ll be there for Christmas dinner.”

Amy We were shopping at the mall when my phone suddenly rang and I checked to see it was Nile calling “Nile?” I called as I brought the phone close to my ear “Amy….?” His voice sounded so low “Nile, are you okay?” “A…Amy, it's Christmas and no one is here with me” “Ahhh, I'm sorry Nile I'm already with my friends, maybe you should call your friends to come over” “No Amy, I want you and not my friends, please come Amy, I have no one to celebrate my Christmas with”

I stand alone on the icy field, turning back every few minutes to look at the road behind me. When my hands grow numb from the cold, I scroll my social media feed and see a recent post from my younger sister, Giada Soave. Holding gifts in her arms, she sits beneath a luxurious crystal Christmas tree with my parents embracing her from both sides. Ivano stands behind her with his hand resting lightly at her waist and his eyes full of tenderness. The caption reads, "Merry Christmas, I'm grateful to spend the holiday with those who love me most!" The comments section buzzes with blessings, praise, and envious messages.

Brittany's fingers ran over the soft red fabric of the scarf, its bright colors a stark contrast to the pale hospital room. She wrapped the scarf around her neck, feeling its warmth, and smiled at her friends, a mixture of gratitude and joy enveloping her. "Thank you, everyone," she said, her voice mixed with emotion. "I don't know what I'd do without you all."

My cheeks burn as I sit up, shoving my hair back. “Just packing, and packing’s a nightmare for me,” I say, dodging Jess’s suspicious grin who have been my best friend since forever. She knows me too well. “You sure you’re up for this weird family Christmas marathon, or should we just ditch them?” I ask, definitely not feeling the vibe of this so called holiday. Jess flops onto the couch, kicking off her boots. “Free food, snow, and your mom’s wine stash? I’m in. Plus, I gotta see these stepbrothers.”

“They love you to pieces.” I smiled then. And that’s how we fell asleep. Both of us smiling. Me holding her hand. Her thankful to be a part of a close knit group. And me thankful that I got to do this. I got my second chance. I’d never been more thankful for anything. <> Something was tickling me. I opened my eyes to see Frankie’s big ass head close to my face. I looked at him funny. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Just waking you up princess. It’s Christmas!!” He said smiling.
