I head home trying to compose myself after a long talk with Ryan about what's taking place in the next few weeks. The boys are going to be in New York for a week. They will perform for the tribute special in 3 weeks and then 2 weeks after I am hosting the Radio Rebellion Music Awards. Which all in all I created myself and it is named after my show. They will perform for my show and they are also nominated for Radio Rebellion Award of the Year (or #RRATY'S)
I sigh once I shut my front door and rid myself from the chilling air. I look at my couch and see a white box labeled "New York and Company" with a card attached to it.
Dear Crystal,
Merry Christmas! I'm sorry I wasn't here with you yesterday to share Christmas with you. I hope you really like your gift.
I love you babe <3
Love,
Thomas
I open the box and see a red lace dress with flowy sleeves and a pair of red heels. I smile and hear something drop in the kitchen.
"Thomas babe are you here?" I giggle sprinting into the kitchen and I meet face to face with a blonde headed freak.
"Hey" Michael says rubbing his head. "Cast iron pans hurt when they hit your head" he laughed as my mouth stayed a gape.
"What the hell?" I pause as he gets up. "Did you follow me?" I grit my teeth looking away from him.
"It's not my fault you don't lock your door" he says as I put my hands on my hips.
"That's not what I asked"
"Yeah sure I did okay? So what?" He shrugs.
"So what? Oh yeah, so what I follow my ex girlfriend and break into her apartment. Yeah so not a big deal!" I say angrily as he laughs.
"You're overreacting, calm down plus anyway I'm just early to the party" he says as I glare at him.
"Which I could uninvite you to" I said as he chuckles.
"Oh yeah like I really wanted to go and see if you could make me jealous with you all over that Thornton guy" he says sarcastically.
"Thomas" I roll my eyes.
"Whatever" he huffs.
A silence covers the room with that, not that I am complaining it's just extremely awkward. Until the bastard broke it.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asks.
"What?" I snap.
"Us, um I mean what happened" he coughs.
"No" I cross my arms.
"Fine" he says biting his lip. "No not fine, if I can't be with you can you please except me as your best friend again?" He gulps. "Be my false hope at the end of a grape jelly toast scent again" he says taking my hand.
"I'm not going to accept you that easy" I breathe. "And we still need to talk about it" I say rubbing my eyes.
"Okay, sure that's a start" he half smiles. "But we've tried this friend thing before and it didn't work out so good" he smirked as I playfully slapped his chest.
"Please just do this for me okay? It may take awhile, but I'll eventually get there" I smile looking into his eyes feeling a tiny fire ignite a worn broken heart, something I didn't want to feel yet.
"Alright" he smiles pulling me into a hug.
"Um I better get ready for the party" I cough as he lets go and nods.
"I'll just a stay down here and a um wait" he stutters as I crack a smile.
Can't let him do this again...
I think throwing that thought into the back of my mind.

The party started 10 minutes ago and I am still trying to finish putting on my makeup. I put on the dress and heels Thomas got me and as I put my last touches of make up on Luke walks through my bedroom door.
"Hey Chrissy" he smirks eyeing me up and down.
"Hey shitface" I laugh as he pretends to be hurt and chuckles.
"You look hot" he says biting his lip.
"Well hands off I have a boyfriend" I say as he mimics me. "Seriously" I laugh.
"What are you afraid I'll kiss you or something?" He smirks.
"No, but it's just that we've been together a very long time and he means a lot to me" I said applying mascara to my lashes.
"If he means so much to you why don't you marry him?" He asks as I stay silent. I haven't really thought about marriage, the last time I did was with Michael, and he ended up hurting me.
"Because I just can't" I sigh. "We're like bipolar opposites, he likes his stuff and I like mine. If I was to marry someone I'd want them to have the same goals and stuff" I say as he nods.
"You'd rather be with Michael. Just say it Crystal" he smirks.
"Maybe, but not yet" I say tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I motion him out the door and we both head down stairs.
"Babe you look beautiful" Thomas says as I blush.
"Thanks" I gush as he smiles uncontrollably.
That was Michael at one point, I thought.
I look up from staring at my feet and my eyes meet the guy that's drowning my thoughts. We both look away quickly and I snap back to Thomas.
"I love you" he says as he pecks me on the lips. I can feel Michael's glare melting the side of my head, just waiting for an answer.
"Um yeah uh I have to make sure dinners ready" I say patting Thomas on the shoulder as he looks at me confused. Ashton and Calum crack a laugh and I turn around and glare at them making them stop immediately.
Michael's Pov:
"Damn she still knows how to scare the living shit out of people" Calum says as Ashton nods with a gulp.
What is up with this Tim guy? Why does he keep putting his hands all over her. I need to investigate.
"So hey Tim-"
"Thomas" he nods putting his hand out.
"Whatever" I say patting his shoulder and taking a seat next to him. "So what are your interests Tim" I say trying to hide a laugh.
"It's Thomas, and I like to write, I work for the New York Times" he says. Crystal never liked these type of guys, why him?
"Do you like any bands?" I say as he shakes his head.
"i like Chinese food" he says as Ashton scoffs.
"You're distasteful and bland, and I don't like you" he says turning his nose up to this Tony guy.
"Todd you really need to stop hurting Ashton's feelings" Calum says. "Not cool man, not cool" he says comforting Ashton.
"It's Thomas! When will you all get it right!" He screams as Crystal walks into the room. "Hey babe" he half smiles.
"Right. So if you all are hungry dinner is ready" she says as we all bolt to the table.Todd and I stare at each other angrily until Crystal walks in.
"I brought Pizza!" She says happily as Tony slaps his hands on the table.
"Crystal! Why do you have to be like this! You know I hate this type of shit!" He screams at her pointing his finger in her face.
"Look I haven't had Pizza since I met you which was 4 and a half years ago" she snaps.
"I don't care if you have these douchebags over I'll-" he says pushing her into a corner.
"You'll what?" She grits her teeth.
"Dude get your hands off of her!" I say pulling him off of her before he was about to slap her.
"Get off of me!" He yells and punches me in the face.
"Oh it's on" I say aiding my jawline and tasting blood in my mouth. I punch him in the face which sends him to the floor. I straddle him and punch him again, he punches me in the gut and flips me over and punches me repeatedly.
"Stop!" Crystal says as the boys pull the little shit off of me. "Why do you always do this!" She says getting in Tim's face.
"why do you have to be so difficult! God" he says pulling on the ends of his hair. The room became silent and he looked up at her and sighed. "I've been staying at Tiffany's okay? I just don't think we're working out" he said as she walked up to him and almost slapped him across his face but then stopped herself.
"Just go" she said lowering her head down.
"Crystal" he said as she pushed his chest.
"Is that why you didn't want to spend Christmas with me? You know I had no family to visit because they left me!" She cried as he he tried to comfort her.
"Crystal I-" he said as I took his shoulder.
"Man I'd get out of here or else things are gonna get ugly" I said showing him the door as he nodded.
"Who is this guy? Is he your boyfriend or something?" He said scratching his chin.
"No I'm her best friend, and if you don't get out I'll show you the door myself" I said as he backed up and ran out the door. Crystal looked up at me and just as a tear fell down her face she hugged me tightly.
"Why do you always see me like this?" She whispered.
"It doesn't matter, I know I'm just here to fix it" I smiled as she laughed. She let go of me and looked at the boys.
"Um I'm sorry I'm a mess" she said wiping the makeup from under her eyes.
"It's okay, how about you go get changed and we'll watch a movie and eat this pizza, maybe popcorn" I shrugged as calum coughed.
"Um I think I'm feeling a bit sick how about you Luke?" Calum said.
"No I'm fine-" he said as Calum elbowed him. "Ow- I mean yeah I'm totally feeling deathly ill" he coughed.
"I better take these sick lads home, I think I'm coming down with something too" Ashton said as Crystal laughed.
"Alright I mean you better take a couple of boxes with you" she said going along with the joke. "Mike are you feeling okay?" She asked.
"Yeah um I'll think I'll stay" I said as Ashton gave me a thumbs up.
"Well don't stay up too late kids" Ashton winked as they all walked out the door.
"So I guess it's just us then" I said as she nodded.
"I'm gonna go change, you can pick the movie" she said heading upstairs.
Crystal's Pov:
I put on a loose Green Day tee, which I haven't worn since the last time I saw him. I put on a loose pair of pajama pants and I tie my hair into a bun. I take off all of my makeup and quickly head down stairs.
"So what are we watching?" I ask as he laughs.
"Monster's Inc." he smiles.
"Jeez it's been about ten years since I've seen that" I chuckle remembering that day when we skipped school just to watch it. "You better not fall asleep on me this time" I say as he blushes.
"Yeah sorry about that" he says as I giggle.
"It's fine" I punch his shoulder and plop on the couch.
"Or how that day we went to that ice cream shop after you got back from work" he said as I remember that was also the first day he kissed me.
"That was also the first day you kissed me" I sigh tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Yeah um would you like some popcorn?" He asked with a half smile.
"Sure" I smile. "Okay lets watch this" I say pressing the play button.
"Wait can we talk about us?" He asked.
"Um sure" I say.
