You'd Better Hide the Bullets

All I Want For Christmas is You

"Scarlett, wake up." I heard a distant voice call to me. I ignored it out of tiredness though. "Scarlett wake the fuck up." It said more aggressively.

"Leave me to die please." I begged. I heard a few laughs and then I realised we all must have past out last night. I shot up as quickly as my body would let me. My eyes scanned the room and I noticed that everyone was still in my room, Patrick was the one trying to wake me up. Everyone else was still passed out. "Patrick how much shit am I gonna be in?" I asked him with fear in my voice.

"I spoke to your mom, she wants to speak to you." He told me. I could feel the colour drain from my face as I picked myself up off the bed and walked out my room. Shit shit shit. She knows we got wasted last night.

I walked down the stairs in my dress and tights from last night, I caught a sight of myself in a mirror my lipstick was smudged over my lips, eyeliner smudged making me look like a panda. Oh God. I strolled into the kitchen as I saw my mom and dad clearly nursing a hangover. "Hello parents." I tried to be as cheery as possible.

"Sit down." My father said with a completely monotone voice.

"Yes Sir." I mumbled as I sat across from them at the table.

"Scarlett we aren't going to lie to you, we know you guys got Maria to buy you booze and get drunk in your room. We aren't stupid okay." My mom told me, looking a little more serious.

"Oh no." I whispered.

"Look we aren't going to give you some stupid lecture about responsibilities. You're almost 18 and we trust you to take care of yourself." My dad butted in. I looked at him with so much sorrow.

"What we want to say to you is not to be scared and try to cover it up. We are glad that you guys did it in the safety of this house when responsible adults were present instead of doing what Alison did." My mom told me. I felt the biggest weight fall off my shoulders.

"So I'm not in trouble?" I breathed out.

"No, just make sure your friends aren't too hungover and wake them all up. I'm gonna make pancakes for breakfast and I want them to be awake when they're ready okay." My mom smiled and got up, walking over to the cooker.

"I'm proud of you Scarlett, and your friends seem like good people too." My dad said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Have I ever told you guys that you're the best parents in the whole entire universe?" I smiled at them and stood up. "I'll inform them of the pancakes now." I saluted them and ran for my room.

I burst into the door and still only Patrick was awake. "Everything okay?" He asked. I gave him a thumbs up.

"EVERYONE WAKE UP!!!" I screamed into my room. Mike woke up and head butted the bed frame. Pete groaned loudly. Ali and Vic sat up at the same time and glared at me. Alex almost rolled off my bed and onto my cousins who didn't even flinch at my shouting. Amber and Lewis both sat up and rubbed their eyes as if they just woke up normally.

"What the Hell is your problem?" Pete groaned.

"My mom is making us pancakes for breakfast, she said you all better be ready for them." I said sweetly. Patrick, Alex and Mike all scrambled past me to go downstairs.

"Is my mom awake?" Alysha asked, finally waking up. I just shook my head no and she stood up and stretched. Pete slowly rose to his feet and walked past me.

"How much trouble were you in?" Ali questioned me. I just grinned at her.

"I'm the golden child remember." I winked at her and walked over to my closet. "Is that dressing making you want to claw your skin off?" I asked her.

"Like you wouldn't believe." She groaned and began scratching her arms and legs. I pulled a pair of leggings out of my closet and pulled them up my legs. Vic and Ali left the room along with Lewis, Amber and Maria. I got a shirt out of the closet and changed into it.

After I finished getting dressed I went downstairs and found everyone waiting for pancakes. My aunt and uncle emerged from the guest room and Kiera was in the living room watching sponge bob with Maria. I went into the kitchen and it was filled with my friends, chatting away to my mom and dad. "No way, you wouldn't believe it." Pete said to my dad.

"Well I hope it goes well for you son, it'd be good to see you guys actually do something constructive with the music you're making." My dad nodded to Pete.

"Scarlett, you didn't tell us that you were in a beauty pageant." Patrick cocked his head to the side. I glanced around the room and noticed everyone looking at me with amusement on their faces.

"Yeah there's a reason." I said kinda bitterly.

"Don't be embarrassed." Vic smirked at me. I looked at him and squinted my eyes.

"Mom, I can't trust you around these people can I?" I shouted over to her.

"Of course you can, that's what moms are for." She said as she placed the first batch of pancakes on the table.

I just rolled my eyes and climbed onto the counter. "I can't clearly." I groaned under my breath.

"She wore this beautiful pink dress and for the talent section she sang Baby One More Time by Britney Spears." I almost broke my neck with the force it took for me to look at my mom.

"MOM!" I screamed at her. She just laughed at my reaction. Everyone else was in stitches at the story. "I hate you all." I said going in a mood with them all.

"What age were you?" Alex asked coming over to me.

"6." I mumbled, not happy at all.

"That's hilarious. Did you win?" Pete asked standing near us.

"No I didn't." I sighed.

"Yeah I thought so." He grinned at me. I smacked his arm lightly. "Hit me baby one more time." He sang at me.

"MOM LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" I shouted at her. She put another few pancakes onto the plate.

Everyone began digging into the pancakes and talking away. "Last night was actually fun, we should do it again." Mike spoke with a mouthful of pancake. There wasn't enough seats in my kitchen for all of us so most of the guys resorted to sitting on the work tops like me.

"It was actually, strangely." Patrick agreed.

"Hey Vic, maybe your pals can join us next time if they agree to behave." I looked at him.

"They're good guys, what you talking bout?" He said acting shocked. I rolled my eyes at his reaction and continued eating my pancake.

"Well you guys are welcome any time." My mom put the last batch of pancakes on the plate and then left the room with my dad.

"Hey guys, I just realised. It's Christmas Eve." Pete pointed out.

"You're right, so it is." Patrick nodded.

"What's everyone doing for Christmas?" I asked.

"Family, booze and shitty presents." Vic replied. Mike nodded in agreement.

"Pretty much the same." Patrick said with his pancake in his hand.

"Yeah me too." Pete laughed. "By the way, I'm having a New Years Eve party, y'all are invited." Pete announced. Everyone nodded and thanked him.

Pretty much everyone went home after breakfast and my mom asked me to pick up my grandparents from the airport. Kiera asked to join me so I let her.

"So how was getting drunk with your friends last night?" Kiera asked. I glanced at her and shrugged.

"It was okay, why?" I laughed.

"It was boring for me because everyone left and my friend had to go home at 11." She huffed.

"You could have joined us, not in the drinking but up in my room." I pointed out.

"Well I didn't wanna be lame and just annoy you like that, it's kinda weird if your 13 year old sister hangs around with you." She sounded kinda sad, like she wasn't happy with being 13, but then again who isn't?

"I let Ali hang with us so you were more than welcome." I smiled at her.

"Are you and her okay now?" Kiera seemed hopeful. I don't really know if we are okay but I kinda hope so.

"Maybe, I dunno." I shrugged again.

We arrived at the airport not long after and found our grandparents. "Scarlett, you're looking just a beautiful as ever." My grandma greeted me. I took a hold of their luggage and Kiera got their smaller case.

"How was your flight?" I asked trying to make small talk.

"It was long but we are glad to be here with you guys." My grandpa answered

. We got to my car and my grandma asked to sit up front with me. "This is a nice car, your parents spoil you." My grandma said with a soft laugh. "But you more than deserve it." She added. I smiled at her and we drove out of the airport. "So tell me, have you got a boyfriend?" My grandma asked. I could hear Kiera and my grandpa talking away in the back.

"Yeah I do grandma." I told her as I checked my mirrors, heading onto he highway.

"What's he like?" She quizzed me.

"He's really sweet, he's a freshman at college, works in a comic book store and is really good to me." I told her. She smiled as I told her.

"What about Ali?" She then asked. I could feel my hands grow sweaty. Suddenly the memory of me kissing Vic in the kitchen last night came into my head.

"Yes, she has a boyfriend." I answered, feeling slightly guilty.

"What's he like?" She wouldn't give up huh.

"He's at my school actually, he's a bit odd but if she likes him then whatever." I sounded kinda bitter but I was feeling awkward about it all.

"Well I hope I get to meet these boys while I'm here." She smiled and looked out of the window. I hope not to be honest.

I sat on my front porch, it just doesn't feel like Christmas Eve. It felt like a regular day but then again, it's San Diego and it's actually kinda warm. Well, it's sweater weather but it's much warmer than the fifty layers weather that is in New York at this time of year.

Me and Alex decided to exchange gifts about an hour ago, and it really broke my heart. He bought me a promise ring. He said he promises to try and make me happy at every given moment. Me? I got him the newest You Me at Six record and an A Day to Remember shirt. I'm a shitty girlfriend.

I stared at the ring and felt like it was going to eat me alive. The thought of him being so sweet to me makes me feel sick, he deserves so much better. I don't want to do this to him anymore. I have to break up with him. Just not right now because it'd be too evil to dump someone at Christmas.

"Are you okay?" I looked up to see Vic standing in front of me at the bottom of the stairs. I frowned at the question and shook my head no.

He nodded and then sat down next to me. "I hate Christmas." I mumbled. He just chucked at my statement.

"Are you the grinch or something?" He asked me. I gave him a dirty look and he just held his hands up.

"It's just usually much more overrated and isn't as good as it's made out to be." I sighed, feeling really fucking down about it.

"Well, I just wanted to call a truce for the holidays. I don't wanna have some sort of tension or anger at this time of year. We can totally go back to hating each other as soon as the clock hits 12am on January 1st but for now I like the peace." He mumbled. I looked at him and for the first time in weeks I seen the Vic that made me like him in the first place.

"Thanks." I said softly to him. He looked at me and stared into my eyes.

"Why did you kiss me last night?" He asked, not breaking the eye contact at all. I looked away feeling awkward again.

"I was drunk, it was a mistake." I mumbled. He didn't press the matter anymore, thankfully.

"Well I hope you have a good Christmas Scarlett." He said as he got up. "I did kinda wish for Christmas you'd be mine but we all know Christmas wishes never come true right?" He said, looking down at me. I felt completely crushed at his words. I just want to know what it feels like to have him really love me, none of this back and forth that we've been going through. It's time to grow up and get the man I want.

"Have a good Christmas Vic." I said as I got up and walked back into my house. Merry fucking Christmas. H
