-Eleonora-

KNOCK KNOCK

"Wake up" I hear someone say from far away. But the sleep took over me and these comfortable sheets were calling my name to continue sleeping

"Wake up" That annoying voice said again and the worst part was that it sounded just like Blaze. I am so sick of him that even my little annoying voice in my head sounds like him.

"Eleonora! Wake up ! Your grandma won't be happy if we get there late"that stupid voice said ... wait- That stupid voice wans't in my head. Oh shit- It's the Christmas family lunch. I quickly opened my eyes in a hurry.

"Eleono-"

"I'm awake!"I interrupted him

"Good get ready we leave in 30" he said from the other side of the door. I pouted at the information my head, was killing me, it looked like I was constantly dizzy and I couldn't think straight.

I gathered the courage to get up and tried to chose something to dress that's when I realise I was not in my room, I frwned as I looked around. How the hell did I end up here? It's Blaze bedroom did he sleep here? Doesn't look like it half of the bed is intact and he woke me up from outside still how did I ended up here, -better how am I home? Did he took me home?

I tried to find the explanation a reasonable and rational explanation however, I am not finding it.

I must've been so drunk that I can remember half of the party. It's like it's gone. I remember a lot of stuff I remember drinking and playing and dancing and also singing I remember drinking a lot but I cannot remember how I got home.

In all of that, I remember from last night the worst part is that in every single part of the night, I cannot of being with Blaze.

So did he take me home? No that's impossible. I mean how could he said that he would leave he would not stay for the party so who the hell took me home and who the hell put me in his bedroom ?

Ok so did he take me home? No that's impossible. I mean how could he said that he would leave he would not stay for the party so who the hell took me home and who the hell put me in his bedroom ?

Ok.. It mush have been him. But how?

Frustrated Imoved to the bathroom to shower, I looked into the mirror to find my messy face and hair and this cute t-shirt. This new t-shirt... Wait I don't remember this t-shirt, this ISN'T my T-SHIRT, this is-

Whose t-shirt is this? I should cut on my alcohol, I really should. I can't believe I'm meeting my family with a freaking hangover over me. I want to cry but I can't I am adult who knows how deal with these kind of stuff.

After my mini existence crisis I walked downstairs to meet Blaze working on his laptop on the couch. As he heard me climbing down the stairs his face turned to me

"Are you feeling better?" he asked while taking off his glasses

Better? If you are taking about the dizzy loud feeling on my head then no I am not.

"No"

"There's a pill over the counter it should help you feel better" he said standing up and dressing his coat. I took the pill and drank some water. It really is Christmas... Look at this Christmas miracle Blaze Maxwell being nice.

"Are you ready? I'm going to get the presents" he said grabbing some boxes under the tree... Then I remembered my family... I am going to my family

"Shit" I let out

"What?" he questioned but I was already climbing up the stairs direct to my room, I searched for a bag with my mom's note 'for xmas' once I found it I grabbed the sweaters and walked down stairs.

"Dress this!" I said heading over the sweater at him while dressing mine over my black cozy dress

"What?" he said laughing at the shirt "I am not dressing this

"My Nana made them!" I warned and he instantly dressed the sweater

"Matches the pants" I said looking at him, amazingly and quite disturbingly that ugly sweater looked good on him

We were already late for meeting it family so we took off really quickly I thought we weren't getting on time gladly we did. I knocked on my parent's entry door and waited for someone to open the door.

"You look nervous" Blaze commented

"No, I look hangover" I responded "by the way what happened last night? Why was I dressing your t-shirt and in your room?"

"I don't think you really wanna know"

"Believe me I do"

"Hm believe me you don't-" I was about to answer him that I really wanted to know what the hell happened last night, but unfortunately my dad open the door greeting us. I was about to answer him that I really wanted to know what the hell happened last night, but unfortunately my dad open the door greeting us.

"Look, it's my sweetie pie!" my dad cheered hugging me

"Hey dad " I said barely breathing

"Oh I missed you so much! You look so big!" he said finally letting me go and looking at my face

"Thanks... I guess"

"Come on in" he said smiling, he turned to Blaze with a not-so-happy face "Mr.Maxwell"

"Mr.Hart"

I lifted my eyebrow sensing the tension between the down are they going to treat each other by Mr.Maxwell and Mr.Hart the whole time? That is just weird and what is it with this weird attitude between the two?!

"Hey baby you're here!" I heard my mom from the kitchen

"Hey Mama" I said kissing her "hm smells nice" I commented looking at the food although my nose was saying it was a wonderful scent, my stomach was saying a big fat no. As I was looking a the food I feel a weird sensation brush on my leg.

I looked down seeing white fur near my leg "what is this?" I questioned

"That's Nieve" my mom said " she was your dad's gift to me"

"Oh really?" I said while petting the little American Eskimo dog

"She is really quite and she is trained" my mom said while preparing the appetizers

"Sit" I ordered and the white dog sat immediately "oh wow"

"I know" my mom smiled "hey..." she called for my attention making me look at her "what is it with you?"

"Me? I'm fine"

"You seem a bit off"

"I'm fine mom"

"Did you guys have a fight?"

"What?" I giggled at her question "Mom I am fine" I reassured, I moved away from her when I saw Rosa walking up to kitchen counter

"It's my favorite housekeeper!" I exclaimed hugging he, she kissed me back with a smile

"Tan hermosa!" she exclaimed looking at me "you get more beautiful each day!"

"Don't make me blush" I commented with my cheeks already hot

"Say hello to your cousins" my mom said "Oh hello Blaze"

"Good Morning Mrs.Hart" he greeted

"Oh honey place the presents under the tree" my mom told him. I accompanied him through the living room where everyone was gathered sat at the couches, watching Tv, playing and talking.

"No phones today huh?" I commented while looking at the twins and Adrian and Isabel they were all playing Monopoly

"Nana rules" they said in uniso with sad faces. I greeted them as long as Blaze, on the sofa was uncle James

"Hello darling" he said kissing my cheek

"Hi uncle James how are you?"

"I'm wonderful."

"Was Santa nice to you?"

"Oh you can't imagine" he said wiggling his eyebrows. On the other couch was Julia and Dennis playing with Charlie and his Lego.

"Hey guys!" I cheered

"Hey cous!" Julia greeted

"Hello Eleonora" Dennis said

"Hi Auntie El!" Charlie said I crouched to his level and he gave me a big hug

"Hey Charlie what is that?" I questioned looking at his Legos "those are new"

He nodded happily while touching them "Santa gave them to me"

"He did? Wow that means you were good boy this year?"

"Yeah!" he clapped "and...and I brought these to show uncle Blaze!" he explained while waving at Blaze once he appeared into his view

"Hey buddy!"

"Uncle Blaze! LOOK!" he said lifting the Legos up

"Hm look at that I am being replaced" I said standing up, I looked around wondering where the rest of them were "Where is the rest?"

"Oh my dad and Aunt Paloma made Nana apologize to Aunt Linda..." Julia said making me astonished

"What? Why didn't I know that?"

"Dad just told me today too... I guess even Nana didn't know what she was doing. They simply took her" Julia explained

"It's time for Nana to fix it"

"Yeah" Julia agreed

"El honey can you help me?!" I heard my mom from the other side of the room, I quickly hurried placing the food on the table.

"Apettizers are on the table... I want everyone eating!" my mom instructed making every little soul get up and start to eat

I rested against the wall with a glass of water in my hand watching my family eat and I could only think about Aunt Linda.

"Hey..." Blaze announced once near me

"Hi"

"Who is Aunt Linda? She wasn't here last time right?" he questioned.... Yeah I guess I haven't told him that story either

"No she wasn't "

"Who is she?"

" well aunt Linda is sister of my mum and uncle Joel. They were all very happy and Nana loves them very much but last year she found out something and she didn't like it that much and I kind of broke the family " I explained

"She found out something?"

" Aunt Linda had a boy named, Dylan, me and Julia we're very close to him since we were all cousins and he was around our age. He told us he was gay, so we told him whenever he was ready, he should tell the family. Three years ago Dylan announced to the family that he was gay, but months later he said he was actually transsexual and already on the process. Everyone took it really well but Nana she had some questions and some arguing that she shouldn't had and Aunt Linda got mad at her because Nana was gaslighting Diana.

"Diana?"

"Previously Dylan"

"Oh-"

"I don't think that Nana realized what she was talking about and sometimes she can be way too harsh specially if people are not used to it. Dylan was like her golden boy and suddenly it disappeared" I recalled the night Dylan gave the speech about being transexual and how my grandma freaked out "honestly I don't have a single thing to defend her it was simply wrong whoever everyone said nothing. Aunt Linda decided to make sure Diana wouldn't see Nana again or us since we stood quiet. So one day I freaked out-"

"Imagine that" he commented while listening to the story

"I told Nana she was wrong, and I explained her how things were. The whole thing about not feeling ourselves in our own body, she didn't understand much she kept on being stubborn and I got pretty mad at her. That's why I am the least favourite now"

"Poor you" he laughed

"I don't care that much I am used to her being that way with me but at that time Diana was fragile she was opening up to us and Nana simply destroyed her" I said thinking of the sad and disturbing moment

"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore " I look up as he says those words to find Aunt Linda hugging tight my mother and like Christmas magic, a beautiful woman extends her hands smiling waiting for me and Julia to hug her.

Blaze takes my glass of water allowing me to give a big and tight hug to Diana .

I ran into her arms, and so did Julia and I silently cried into her chest. "Look at my favorite cousins" she whispered in our ears "Looking good bitches" making us laugh between the tears.

I took a step back examining her pretty face and her teary eyes "looking good" Julia said

"I want a pair of those" I said while touching her boobs

"I will give you my doctor's number" Diana joked "By the way you look great" she said touching my hair which she stopped once her eyes landed on the person behind "oh- Oh I see I have a lot of catching up to do"

"Yeah... Kind of" I let out a shy smile

"Where is my little Charlie?" Diana quickly tried to find Charlie she hadn't seen him in 3 years and the same goes to us. Her mother made sure she wouldn't get in touch with us, I get it she was being protective.

"Hey... You're ok?" Blaze whispered into my ear

"Yeah... I am now" I said cleaning my tears

"You cried a lot today" he commented making me frown

"I cried?" I asked quickly turning around to face him

"Don't worry, everything will start to come back"

"I cried"

"Oh you did so much more"

"What do you mean?!"

"Through screaming, crying, asking for pancakes and using my toilet....you did a lot"

"Blaze!" I warned

"Let's eat" he teased not answering my requests

"I used your toilet what do you mean?"

"Dont you feel your stomach empty?"

"Did I threw up?" I asked not recalling anything and he only replied with a shrug of shoulders and a smile making me slap him in the back

"Ow!"

"I will kill you"

"ELEONORA! Don't slap your husband!" Nana exclaimed from the other side of the room

"Don't slap your husband Eleonora" he whispered at me with an obvious tone

"Now that the family is finally whole let's eat!" my mom demanded.
