you were woken up by a dip in your bed. you jolted awake to see a boy who looked familiar, but you couldn't place a finger on it. he turned around and that's when you noticed who it was.

"ethan?" you say with tears brimming in your eyes.

"hey, princess," you jump up and wrap him in your arms while endlessly sobbing into his dark green sweater. "i miss you."

you were unable to speak due to your cries but you nodded back in reply. he stood the both of you up and held you in his arms. you both swayed back and forth, dancing.

you suddenly hear soft music playing in the background as ethan looks down at you with admiration glimmering in his eyes. "you look beautiful as ever," he whispered and touched your forehead with his.

"gosh, i miss those eyes," you say looking into is brown greenish eyes and wrapping your arms around his neck. "how are you even here right now?" you ask.

"isn't this what you wanted for christmas? for me to come back to you? just for one night?" he says while looking back into your eyes.

you nod. "yes, it was. but i didn't think it would actually come true," you whisper. "i didn't think you would come back from the dead, ethan."

he chuckles. "christmas wishes really do come true. no matter how difficult they are."

he then pulls you in closer and you both dance until your feet hurt. you breathed in his scent every chance you got until you remembered every memory that you've ever had together.

"im tired," your eyes begin to close and ethan picks you up and lies you down in your bed.

"go to sleep, baby," he whispers and pushes the hair out of your face.

"will you be here when i wake up?" you already knew the answer, but you wanted clarification.

he nods. "of course, y/n. i'll always be here with you."

the next morning you woke up with dried tears on your cheeks and you studied the room. ethan was gone, just like he'd always had been.

it was all a dream.

you lay back down and turn on your side to come face to face with a dark green sweater. you furrow your eyebrows and pick up the sweater. wasn't it the sweater that ethan wore in your dream? no, it couldn't have been. you checked the tag and it indeed was a male sweater. you even smelled it and the scent made you break out into tears.

it was ethan's cologne.
