On his chest was boldly written words in roboto black "I love you." I touched it nose… 'Happy birthday to you Blow the candles don't look so blue…' The teddy sang as it bounced dancingly. I cupped my mouth in shock. 'It's your time to celebrate Let's just hope you're not a mistake

It was past eight at night on Christmas eve. Tasha, Grant, along with Tyson arrived in Sandville late afternoon for Christmas. Tasha, Grant, her father and her mother were watching a Christmas carol on the TV with cups of her mother's homemade hot apple cider drinks in their hands.

It was a moment of reflection, a pause in time, where the true meaning of Christmas embraced their hearts. After the heartfelt moment, they exchanged little gifts, laughter, and stories. The joy and excitement in the room became much as each present was unwrapped, revealing thoughtful tokens of love and appreciation written in cards and on little teddy bears.

Maya's Pov I woke up to someone jumping on my bed. Again. "Merry Christmas! Get up, get up, get up!" Sophie was worse than a five-year-old on Christmas morning. She wore pajamas with reindeer on them and a Santa hat that kept sliding off her head. "What time is it?" I groaned. "Seven. Come on, we open presents at seven thirty. Family tradition. No exceptions." She bounced out of my room, leaving me alone with my messy hair and complete lack of holiday cheer at this ungodly hour.

I watch him introduce the girl to him, while I feigned being happy for him, but deep within me, I was as sad, as I have always been, whenever he rejects me like that. I did something new to the teddy, a little innovation, Even Myles that got me the Teddy for my Fifteenth birthday didn't know that I later constructed a zip on the side of the Teddy, where I hid my diary, so that it doesn't stay lying around carelessly, and someone gets to read it.
