It's already 8 pm and we are currently sitting on our plane. We had just finished boarding and we were getting ready for take-off.

I spent the day talking and crying with the members. Mostly talking about the good times we had with Vee. We were crying for hours before we decided to go pack. We got a lot of comments on our videos both on my channels and on NDs channels, most people giving their condolences and saying they will kiss Vee. Of course, we also got the haters coming in saying that we ruined the event and stuff, I just brushed them off. I couldn't care less right now. I called Jungkook earlier and said my goodbyes. I'm not sure when ill see him again.

I lay back in my seat and I try to relax, I have my seatbelt on. I'm not sure what ill do for this long road back, maybe ill sleep or ill watch a movie. I have a lot of things that need to get done at home, first I need to make some vlogs, and I need to decorate the house and wrap my gifts. Just too many things.

I might as well relax for now before things have to get hectic again when I get back. I close my eyes and I just sit back.

*****

We make it to Canada and Caro and I are putting our stuff in the car, well it's just me since Caro is still at the airport. The other members went their separate ways, some taking a bus or taxi, the others either getting picked up or they drive their car.

"Caro put yours in here." I push mine into the back left side of the trunk, making space for Caro's luggage.

"I'm coming." She runs to the car with her luggage. She's just dragging it along while she struggles to carry her other bag.

"What took you so long?" I watch her as she walks to me.

She takes a couple of deep breaths before answering. "I was talking to Ella." She pants.

"Okay, give me that." I grab her luggage and put it into the trunk.

Caro gets into the driver's seat as I finish closing up the trunk. "Do you wanna go get something to eat?" I say as I enter the car.

"Like what?" She starts the car.

"I wanna eat a Big Mac and some nuggets."

"Okay! Let's get McDonald then!" She drives out of the parking lot and we head downtown.

"What are you gonna order?" I glance at her briefly before returning my gaze to the scenery in front of me.

I watch as we pass by the beautiful white trees. This is what I love about Canada, the beautiful tall pine trees with the white snow dusted on them. I love it! And the nice streets with people driving down on the roads.

"I want 10 piece chicken nuggets, large fries, and a Mc'chicken. Ohh and a large sprite! What about you?" She says in a baby voice.

I chuckle. "I'm gonna get a big mac, 10 piece chicken nuggets, large fries, Mc'chicken, large coke, and an apple pie."

"Of course your gonna get a lot."

"When have I never gotten a lot?" I smile innocently at her.

She shakes her head while smiling. "I know."

"Ohh should we get something for Henry?"

"Ohh right I forgot about him, yeah can you call him and ask?"

"Yeah sure." I whip out my phone and I go to my contacts. I click on his name and I hit call.

He takes a while to answer. "Hello?"

"Hi Henry, what are you doing?"

"I'm at work right now, I'm about to go home. Are you guys back yet?"

"Yeah we just arrived, we're heading to Mc'donalds right now."

"Ohh okay, ohh and condolence. I heard about what happened, and we're always here for you when you need us."

"Thank you. And I'm thankful that the two of you are here for me!" I glance at Caro. "Ohh and before I forget, do you want anything to eat?"

"Uhm, yeah. Can I have a big mac and some fries?"

"Mkay, is that all?"

"Ohh and an apple pie."

"Okay, let's talk more when we get home."

"Alright, stay safe!"

"Okay, bye!"

"Bye!"

I end the call and I put my phone away. "He wants a big mac, some fries, and a pie. Wait that rhymed." I laugh and Caro does too.

"Okay, the food here we come!" Can't throws her fist into the air.

We stay silent for the rest of the ride, I just stare out the window as we drive.

When we make it to McDonald's, we park the car near the entrance. I get out and I grab my wallet and phone. I follow Caro in and immediately the warm heat from the insides warms me up.

There weren't many people here since it was 3 pm, most people don't come here at this time. We walk up to the counter and Caro orders first, I wait for her to finish and I order my food.

"I'll pay for the food," I say as I go to take out my credit card.

"No, I'm paying." She gives the cashier her card.

"Why? I can pay for it."

"No, when we go out to eat I pay."

"Why?"

"Because I'm supposed to take care of you."

"But it was only 30 bucks," I say as I look at her.

"Exactly, it's just 30 bucks. I can handle it, even if it's 599 bucks in still gonna pay for it cuz I'm your cousin."

"Okay... And thank you."

"No need to thank me." She shrugs her shoulder and smiles at me.

"Here's your food." An employee says.

"Wow, that was quick!" I grab the tray and I bring it to a table.

Caro and I sit down to eat. We talk about our plans for Christmas and stuff. Something that still needs a lot of preparation.

*****

It's the next day and I'm at the grocery store. Caro and Henry are back home doing some decorating. We decided to split up since it would take too long if we went together. We didn't have any decorations up yet and we don't have food for our Christmas Eve dinner.

I'm walking through the snack aisle looking for some good snacks while I vlog, I'm gonna make a Christmas blog for my channel. Since we are going to stay up late might as well stock up on foods to eat.

For Christmas, we usually stay up late until is 12 and we celebrate Christmas morning kinda like new Year. It's not like we need to sleep and wait for Santa to come, so we just stay up. It's a tradition in all of our families including Henry's.

I grabbed a bag of giant marshmallows for smores. Even though it's snowing outside, a bond fire will still be fun. I spot some cookies and I grab a few boxes.

I'm running around the store, trying to go as quick as I can, the only problem is that I keep getting distracted by all the food. I keep wanting to buy all the Christmas cookies.

I made sure to come right when the store opened so that there wouldn't be many people here yet. And I was right, only a few people were here shopping with me. I was in and out of the store quick.

I had no problems getting my stuff and leaving. I left the store with my cart filled to the brim with food. I open the trunk to my car and start loading everything in. I use these baskets to put the grocery in, it makes it easier to carry everything in, in only a few trips.

I return the cart and I get in my car. I was freezing in my car so I quickly started it up. The ac took a while to get warm, but in no time I was much warmer. The cold winter was starting to get to me, I have a love-hate relationship with it.

I lean back in my chair and relax after my hectic grocery run. Caro and Henry are hopefully doing alright back home. You know what, I might as well call them. I use my speaker on Bluetooth to call them so that I can drive at the same time.

I dial the number and as it rings I get out of the parking lot and start heading home.

It rings for a bit before I hear it connect, but all I hear is music. "Hello? Hey babe turn the music down! Hello?"

"Hi, Caro?"

"Yeah, I'm here. What the hell did I just say, Henry?!" I hear a faint sorry in the background followed by music fading.

"Are you guys done there?"

"Yeah, we are just about finished. We got the tree up and the lights outside. I even set up the blow-ups in the front."

"Okay good, I just finished the grocery run. I'm headed back now." That's a lie I'm not heading home yet.

"Alright, drive safe! I gotta go help Henry real quick!"

"Mkay, bye!"

"Bye!" And she ended the call.

Okay so I might have lied to Caro, I actually need to go to the post office and Vee's place. My subscribers sent a bunch of stuff and I don't know what it is, but the post office called me saying I had a bunch of stuff that needed to get picked up. And Vee's mom called me and said that they had some gifts for me to come to get, I also had some for them too. So now I have to go pick those up. My first stop is the post office then Ves's house.

I turn on my Christmas playlist and I start jamming out to Christmas songs. I was singing "Last Christmas".

I pull out of the parking lot and I make my way to the post office. The ride wasn't long since the grocery store was close to it.

I walk in and I'm greeted by Tania, she's the worker that works at the front desk. We know each other well since I'm always here to pick up fan mail.

"Hey Zoey!" She waves at me from behind the desk.

"Hey Tania! Long time no see, how are you?" I walk up to her.

She comes out from behind the counter. "I'm doing good. And condolence my friend." She pats my back as she hugs me tightly.

"Thank you! And I'm still holding up I guess."

"Atta girl, you gotta stay strong for Vivian!"

"Yeah, I gotta stay strong."

She gives me a small smile as she drags me into the back, she doesn't press any further knowing that I don't wanna talk about it. "So here's all the mail for you..." We stop in front of a large bin of mail. And by large I mean LARGE!

"Wha- wait... You mean all of this" I gesture to the bin, "is for me?!"

She nods her head. "Yeppers, I was shocked when I gathered all of your stuff. I was gonna put it in your mail locker but it won't fit, I mean... It definitely won't fit."

I stare at this giant mountain in front of me in awe. "When you said a lot I didn't think you meant this much!"

"Well, I guess it's a surprise then haha." She laughs as she shrugs her shoulders.

I walk up and I look at the boxes, some say merry Christmas with my name on it and some with Caro's and Henry's name on it saying To and From. "Wait- these must all be Christmas gifts!"

"Really?" Tania comes closer to get a good look. "Woah! They really are!"

"Holy crap that's a lot. How am I gonna bring this home, I don't think this is gonna fit in the car!" I'm gonna hide these from Caro, knowing her, she's gonna try and open them early.

"I don't know how either."

"Do you have any garbage bags perhaps? I can try putting them in the back seat but try to keep it hidden from Caro."

"Yeah, I got some over here. I help you hide them in your car."

We manage to hide the bags in my back seat, as long as Caro and Henry don't look in the back seat then I'm good.

I make my way to Vee's house after saying farewell to Tania. "Bye Tanka, thanks for the help! I'll get your gift later when I buy some more gifts! Maybe on boxing day!"

"No don't worry about it! Have a good holiday, and drive safely!" She waves me off.

"I will! Bye!" I wave to her one last time before driving off.

I make it to Vee's house and before I could even park properly, Vee's mom already is outside. "Hi dear!"

I get out of my car and I give her a big hug. "Hi Tita! How are you?"

"I'm doing good, and you?"

"I'm going alright."

I look at Tita Rachel and I can see the tear stains and the puffy eyes. I can tell she's really distraught.

"That's good to hear. Do you wanna come in to eat?"

"Ohh no I can't, I still need to get home. We are celebrating Christmas today."

"Ohh okay, yeah we are too. Come in for a bit while I get your gifts."

"Okay, I everyone home?"

"Yes but they're sleeping still. They must be exhausted."

"Tita, you should rest more too."

"I've rested plenty already, and don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, you need to stay strong and healthy."

"I always will. Ohh and let me get your gifts, there in the car." I run to my car and take out a bag filled with their gifts.

I run back inside and she's standing by the door with her bag of gifts inside. "Here's your gifts." I hand her a giant bag of gifts.

"Wow this is a lot! Thank you, my dear!" She hugs me.

"No problem!"

"And here's yours, it's also quite a lot."

She hands me a trash bag filled with gifts. "Wow, you didn't have to get us much!"

"Ahh it was nothing, now go, you need to go prepare for Christmas." She ushers me out.

"Yeah, I do. and thank you for these!"

"No worries my dear. And don't worry about the preparations and the funds, we have it all covered." She must be talking about the funeral.

My eyes tear up a bit but I just nod my head. "Okay Tita. I'll be on my way now."

"Okay, bye! Drive safely!" She waves to me and I wave back.

I open the door to the back seat and I hide the giant bag. Then I get into the driver's seat. I wave once more to Vee's mom and I'm off.

*****

"You're here! You're here! Henry come quick!" Caro skipped out of the house.

"Yeah no shit Sherlock." I roll my eyes as she approaches me. I open up the trunk door.

Caro slaps my arm, and Henry yells, "Language missy!" As he exits the house.

I laugh. "Sorry! Now here help me." I pass one of the baskets to Henry and one to Caro.

Caro almost drops everything. "That's heavy!"

"Ohh please, it's not that heavy!"

"For you it isn't, but for me it is."

"No your just weak." I laugh and she kicks my leg. "Ohh and the decorations are nice." I tilt my head to the little setup Caro made outside.

"Yeah? It was my idea. I went for the giant sleigh blow-up since I liked how it looked."

"It was a good choice!" I grab one of the baskets and I take it inside. As soon as I walk in, the Christmas vibes immediately hit me. The colourful decorations making the place look homier. The stair railings have red and green streamers looped around them, wreaths hanging from the doors, the tree looks amazing "Wow! You guys did great with the decorations."

"Ehh, it was nothing." Caro shrugs.

I admire their work. I set the basket down in the kitchen and I approach the tree. We have a green tree with fake snow on it standing at a total of 8 ft, white and pastel pink ornaments, white and yellow Christmas lights, and a white star at the top. It was mesmerizing! There were fake gifts under the tree, mostly for aesthetics. We had our white stockings out on the fireplace, and they went all out with the lights.

"You like it?" Henry says standing beside me.

"No, I don't like it... I love it!"

"I knew you were gonna say that." He smiles and he nudges my arm.

"You guys really went all out!"

"I also knew you were gonna say that. I mean, when have we never gone all out?"

"That's true, you guys go over the top!"

"That's true." We laugh as we both look at the tree.

"Yah! Come help me, you guys aren't even doing anything there!" Caro yells, from outside.

"Ohh yeah, I forgot about that." I rush outside to go help her with the stuff.

We finish unloading my car and I organize everything into their correct places. I like to keep my pantry and fridge VERY organized! I wait until Caro and Henry are distracted before I walk to the car. I need to retrieve all of the gifts and bring them inside.

We have a small storage set near the front door which is the perfect place to hide gifts. We don't go in there so it is perfect. I start by bringing 1 of the 4 bags in. Neither Caro more Henry notice me. Then I finish with the 3 other bags. I make sure not to make too much noise, but then again they are blasting music anyways.

I walk back to the kitchen without looking suspicious. "Caro! What time do I have to pick up the cake and the Lechon!?" I yell to Caro who was in the living room, we have our music on really loud so just a normal tone won't suffice.

"10 am for the cake and 10:39 for the lechon, you might as well leave now so you aren't late!"

"Okay!" I was about the grab my keys and head out but then Henry shows up out of nowhere.

"I'll go get them! You guys stay here!"

"Your gonna go?" I questioned.

"That's what I just said. Send me the locations and ill go." He says as he approached me.

"Okay, I guess I'll just start cooking I guess."

"Yeah you and Caro get started so we can be prepared earlier."

I nodded my head as I texted him the address. "There, now go before your late."

"Yes ma'am!" He salutes me before running out to the garage.

I chuckle at his weird gesture. "Caro! Come here, we gotta start cooking!"

She turns down the music and comes to the kitchen. "You know, I should've just turned down the music since earlier."

I laugh. "Well your kinda dumb so I'm not surprised." She slaps my arm and I just laugh.

I get out my camera so that I can document our cooking experience, something rare that happens.

We decided to make a bunch of food, I wanted to eat a bunch of Filipino dishes. Caro was in charge of making the main dishes and I'm in charge of the desserts and spaghetti.

"You're making the spaghetti right?" Caro asks me as she opens the fridge.

"Yeah, I'm making the spaghetti and the desserts."

"Okay. And make sure to add a lot of mangoes to the mango float."

"Okay, and do you want me to add meat to the Filipino spaghetti?"

"Yeah, don't add too much though."

I give her a thumbs up and I go to heat water. I wanted to make the kind of spaghetti that they sell at Jolibee, it's not my fav kind of pasta but I was craving Filipino spaghetti. I'm also making Leche flan, maha Blanca, buko salad, and mango float, my fave Filipino desserts.

"Ohh yeah, I almost forgot. Yumi sent us a package!" Caro runs to the front door and retrieves a large package.

"Yumi? You mean the Yumi from Korea!?" I wipe my hands on a hand towel.

Yumi is Caro's childhood friend, they knew each other since kindergarten just like Vee and me. They were schoolmates in elementary but in middle school, they went to different schools, and in high school, they went to the same school. Yumi had to go to Korea with her family after high school because her mom wanted to open up her own restaurant there. Yumi also wanted to go to school there. So Caro and Yumi are apart from each other but they are still VERY CLOSE, almost inseparable.

"Yes, the Yumi from Korea! Since we weren't able to see them when we were there, they just sent us some gifts." She struggles to put the box on the counter.

I grab a knife and I help her open it. "Did this arrive today?"

"Yeah, when you were gone."

"I wonder what's in it."

"Same. And speaking of the devil." She takes her phone and answers a face time call. "Hi Yumi!"

"Hi Yumi!" I say as I jump around behind Caro trying to see Yumi.

"Hey guys! Did my gift arrive yet?!"

"Yeah it did, why the heck is it soo big? What's in it?" Caro shows the giant box to Yumi.

"You have to open it and see!"

"Okay then, Zoey open it faster!"

I struggle with taking off the tape, even though I have a knife. "I'm trying okay!"

I finally open the box and I remove the layers of bubble wrap and packing peanuts. There was a layer of tissue paper which I carefully remove. I take out something from the inside. I gasp. "What is this!?" I lift it out of the box.

"What is it?!" Caro looks at the object I was holding. "A box? Open the box!" I open it up and I stick my hand in.

"You have to be careful you might ruin it," Yumi says looking at us smiling.

"Ruin it? What is it?" The object is covered in bubble wrap so I unwrap it. There were multiple layers before I got to the object. "Wait is this what I think it is?!"

"Let me see it." I show it to Caro. "WAIT IS THAT AN ARMY BOMB?!" Both Caro and I have our mouths hanging open.

"Yep! And I added cute gems and stickers to it! I know that you guys don't have one so I decided to get you one and decorate it!"

"It's- im- I- I don't know what to say!" Caro says.

She doesn't own ANY kpop merch, mostly cuz she can't afford it and also cuz she doesn't want to spend money on it. She's been wanting an army bomb for a while now and I guess Yumi knew.

"A thank you would be nice." Yumi chuckles at our shocked faces.

"Thank you!" Caro and I say at the same time.

"Look in the box, there's two of them. They both look the same. And I got you guys more stuff too!"

Caro and I squeal as we look into the box to find some Korean snacks. "Ooo I love these, I had them when we were in Korea." Caro pulls out a bag of banana crackers.

There was an assortment of snacks ranging from sweet snacks to salty snacks. I am gonna snack on these later!

"Thanks, Yumi! You didn't have to get us all of this!" I say as I hold up some of the stuff.

"No, no, I wanted to. And also because my mom kept pestering me about getting gifts for you guys. She really loves you guys!"

I laugh. "Tell her we said thank you!"

"I will! By the way, when are you guys gonna come to visit?"

"We don't know yet, we might try to come to visit soon," Caro says, coming up beside me while eating the bag of banana crackers.

"You better! My mom really wants to cook for you guys! You already know how much she loves cooking."

"You know I really miss her cooking!" I say, my mouth is starting to water just thinking of the food Yumi's mom makes.

"And that is why you guys need to visit."

"And that is why ill be going to Korea soon!" Caro says.

Yumi's mom owns a restaurant in Korea where she makes a bunch of traditional Korean food. Whenever Caro and I would visit their place when we were younger, Yumi's mom would make us eat a bunch of food. I always love when they would invite us over for dinner. It made me happy because it felt like they were my second family, they were just so different from my parents.

We talked for a bit but then Yumi had to go since she needed to go to sleep. This girl values her sleep a lot.

We eat some of the food Yumi sent while we cooked up some food for our dinner.

I took my army bomb and displayed it in my room. I'm never gonna touch it because I might accidentally break it. It's too precious to break. My first kpop merch is dazzling!

It was now 4 pm and we had finally finished all of our preparations for our Christmas dinner. We finished decorating the house, we finished cooking, and I finished wrapping gifts. All that's left to do is celebrate and wait till it's Christmas day.

We decided not to have a Christmas party this year because most of our friends don't celebrate Christmas as we do, but on Christmas day we are going to attend a small party with the members. I'm excited to see them!

I went up to my room, I need to shower and get changed into something. We have to take pictures to have memories of this moment. Caro and I decided that we were gonna wear red outfits and take pictures at the tree and outside in the snow.

I already have my outfit planned out, I'm wearing a red long sleeve plaid dress, black stockings, my brown long jacket and to match is my brown knee-high boots. I want to look cute but also cozy.

I untie my hair from the high ponytail it was in and I walk into the bathroom. Since I like to make the bathroom warm before I start showering, I turn on the water really got and make it into a sauna in here. I take off my clothes and I sit in the small seating area in my shower.

I got my shower custom-built, it's a very big shower area with seating along one side of the shower. I have this really cool shower head that is connected directly from the ceiling above instead of on the wall. I also have the really cool back massagers water comes out from the wall of the seating area and you let the water do its work. One of my favourite features is the rain setting, this setting makes water come out of the ceiling like rain, I love dancing around in the shower while it "rains" in me. But let's not forget my all-time favourite feature! My shower has a tv built into the wall! I can watch YouTube or I can jam out to music, I can even play games on it! I love this shower!

Anyways, I take a 1-hour shower mostly so I can relax. I use the back massagers while I listen to music and I have my "sauna" on. I also dance around as I shower, I had my own mini-concert in there. And after that, I came out and dried myself.

Now I have to get changed and do my hair and makeup. I put in my cute outfit and I start blow-drying my hair. I start vlogging so that it can be in my video.

This reminded me of the time I was staying at Jungkook's place. That night was a night I wanted to forget but not forget at the same time. When I told Cari what happened with the "red" she said she felt the second-hand embarrassment from me. I really don't want to remember what hailed that night.

I shake that memory out of my head and I continue to dry my hair. I curl my hair into soft beachy waves and I take a few strands and pin it to the back with a giant red bow. I looked like a present, all that's left is the makeup. I don't want to do something over the top, I just want to go with my usual natural makeup with some glitters.

When I finished, I admired myself in the mirror. I looked better now that I had my dark circles covered, those were a product of my sleepless nights of crying.

Vee would be so happy right now, she loves Christmas. She lives the thought of giving and not receiving, she loved to see the smile on people's faces when they saw her gifts. She was always such a giving person.

I try not to cry and I try to keep my composure. Vee wouldn't want to see me sad on our favourite holiday. I shake out the thoughts and I walk out of my bathroom.

I take my boots and my jacket with me downstairs. I see Caro and Henry already down there waiting.

"What took you so long?!" Caro said as she fixed her hair.

"Sorry! I told you I was gonna take a long shower." I walk down the stairs and I place my stuff on the couch.

"Whatever, can you help me out my now in?" She walks over to me and hands me her bow.

Caro has pretty much the same outfit as me, but she has a white top and a plain red skirt, she also has a plaid bow while I have a plain red bow. We both have on our same brown jacket and boots and some black stockings. We both look hella cute!

"There, done. We look soo pretty!"

"Damn right we do!" She flips her straight hair and smiles.

"And you don't look too bad yourself." I look at Henry. He has on brown pants with a plain red sweater. He had on his fancy brown jacket that had fluffy fur on the inside of it.

"Thank you, you don't look too bad either."

"When have I ever looked bad." I flipped my hair and smiled.

"You look bad when you just wake up. You look like a gorilla that got attacked by a wolf." He laughed. I punched his arm really hard and he winced.

"You bitch!" I stomped on his foot too for good measures.

I walked away and I went to go look outside into the backyard. It freshly snowed last night, so the backyard had a nice sparkly layer of white snow on it. It was perfectly flat, and I wanted to go mess it up. I loved how the big pine trees looked, they had snow all over them making it look magical! I'm excited to take pictures out there!

"Zoey comes here, lets take pictures in the living room first," Caro called from the living room.

I walked over to them and they were already getting set up. We are sitting by the fireplace with the giant tree behind us.

"I'll sit here, Zoey you sit in the middle." Caro made some space for me.

I sat beside the two of them, it felt like I was their child since I had to sit in the middle. We took a bunch of pictures, some of Caro and Henry, some solos, and me and Caro. Not to forget, me and Henry.

After our indoor pictorials, we went outside to take pictures. It wasn't cold out at all, the sun was shining down on us and there were only a little bit of winds. I'm surprised the snow hasn't melted yet.

We took a bunch of pictures of where the trees were, it felt like a professional photoshoot with Henry as our photographer. The pictures turned out amazing!

We were taking pictures for about an hour and now it's 5:23 pm. The sun was almost down and it was time to start the board games.

We plan on eating dinner at 7 pm and making smores right after. And then we are gonna watch some Christmas movies until it strikes 12.

"Okay, what should we play?" I look at all the board games we have.

We have a whole treasure box filled with games. And by treasure box, I mean a giant treasure box that you can fit a 6-foot man into. It is gigantic.

"I wanna play Uno!" Caro shouts from the kitchen. She was fetching us some snacks to eat as we play.

"Okay! Uno it is!" I take out the Uno cards and I start shuffling them.

"I'm gonna beat your ass!" Henry says looking at me with his arms crossed.

I slam the deck on the table and I cross my arms too. "Bet!" I look at him all intimidating. He glares at me and I do the same. Caro comes in and we start playing.

After a couple of rounds, Henry accepted his defeat. He lost every time. "I thought you said you were gonna beat me?" I smirked at him.

He huff's out a breath. "Next time, next time."

I laugh and I take out the monopoly game. Something we love to play on Christmas.

"I'll beat you at this!" Henry says looking confident.

"We'll see about that, I mean you lost the other game so what makes you think you'll win this one?" I smirk at him.

"My gut tells me so."

I laugh out a bitchy laugh, and then I stop and eyes him down. "Hahah- well see about that." He looks at me almost scared.

But lesson learned for Henry, there's nothing he can beat me at because he lost 3 rounds of monopoly.

He looks at me glaring. I laugh at him and smirk. "Sucks to be you." I get up and put away the game. Caro is just unfazed by us since she is so used to us fighting and bickering.

Henry and I have a love-hate relationship. We can be best friend's one second and rivals the next. But we still get along most of the time, but I have this gut feeling that I shouldn't trust him that easily. I don't know what, but I'm gonna trust it.

I walk into the kitchen and I start fixing up the table. We set out the food and we take pictures of it, and then we eat the food.

We had everything set up and I had already taken the pictures. "Caro, come we have to pray first before eating."

"I'm coming." She comes to us with a bottle of coke in hand. "I'll lead the prayer." Caro leads the prayer and I now down my head and listen. She thanks the Lord for blessing us with the food in front of us and she prays for our health and future. "And in Jesus' name, we pray, Amen!"

"Amen!" I say as I clap my hands. "Okay, let's eat!" I grab a plate and I load it up with food.

We all sit down and eat while we talk about Henry's losing streak. We shared some good laughs about it.

Author's Note:

Okay, that's all for part one of this chapter. I had to split it into two chapters since this one is already 6024 words.

Anyways, go read the next one now!
