I walk around and start going through the stuff. There were hundreds almost endless amounts of lights and decorations that looked like they haven't been touched for years. "Whow."
"I know." Jen says," This stuff hasn't been touched for years."
"I see." I state as I pull out some of the lights which were covered in dust and cobwebs.
"Okay Heath you're going to be in charge of hanging all these lights up. Riley you're going to set up the Christmas trees, you're also in charge of decorations."
"What are you going to do?" Heath asks Jen.
"I'm going to manage." Jen sticks her tongue out childishly. Heath stares at her," Fine I'll help you guys too." She groans in defeat.
We all start by opening the boxes and taking everything out. We organized them into two groups: lights and decorations.
After a while, I had set up about five small Christmas trees around the house and a really big one in the lounge close to the fireplace. I actually never knew they had one.
Once I put the last decoration on the enormous tree, I decide to take a walk around the house to look at our work.
The whole lounge was covered in white balloons representing snow. Jen blew over five hundred, she almost passed out because she had gotten light headed, but Heath ran out to a twenty four hour convenience store and bought a balloon pump.
The lights were hung along the frames of the walls and the stair railing illuminating the whole room. There were fake snowflakes hung from the ceiling, and fake reindeers set on the ground along with giant fake candy canes. It was almost like wonder land in Christmas.
The one thing that set me off the whole time was Heath. He hasn't talked to me the whole time, not even a 'hi'. He knows that I know something and I'm freaking out on the inside.
"Isn't it awesome?!" Jen asks excitedly standing next to me.
"It's amazing." I simply state. "This is going to be their best Christmas yet."
"And yours too." Jen puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles at me.
"I know." I pull her into a hug. "Thank you so much." I say.
She pulls herself out of the hug," For what?"
"For everything. You're like a sister I've always wanted."
"Awww! So are you." She pulls me in for another hug.
"If you're little sister thing is over, can we go to sleep now? I mean we have to wake up in five hours." Heath butts in. I yawn and Jen starts laughing.
"Yeah, sure; though, you're in charge of getting their gifts." Jen tells Heath. Heath nods knowingly as he walks up the stairs.
I rub my eyes and face Jen," Let's go." She nods and I walk up the stairs while she turns off the lights.

"Mmmm! Oh! Shit! Oh my-fuck!"
"UGHHH!" I groan into my pillow as I've been hearing a girl fricken yell for the past hour from across the hallway. It's fricken seven in the morning. I can't believe I slept in that bed with him. Ew. I shiver under my warm blanket.
I can't even believe he brought a girl home on the day of Christmas eve! And I thought he was tired at night?!
"Faster!" I hear her yell.
I rip the blanket off myself and the cool air hits my bare skin causing goosebumps,"I've fricken had enough." I stomp all the way out of my room and knock on Heath's fricken door. No one answers, but the noises stop. I knock again this time noticeably louder. After a couple of minutes, Heath opens the door. I was happy at the fact that he had the decency to slip on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt.
