The love we had was like a work of art
I used to see heaven in your eyes
Now angels are falling from your skies
Things we said, were so wrong
And I haven�t held you for so long
My foolish pride turns me inside
Why did we tell all those lies?
You can reach for the phone
You don�t have to be alone~
The young blonde looked outside at the snow falling and sighed to herself, miserably. Christmas was rapidly approaching and the usual excitement and yearn for it to come, just wasn�t there this year. Maybe because the only person she wanted to spend it with wouldn�t be there this time. She closed her eyes, trying to block the painful memories that were forever etched into her mind. But no matter how hard she tried, she knew the hurtful words they had thrown each other�s way wouldn�t so easily be forgotten.
~*Flashback*~
�So, what exactly are you trying to say???! That I don�t know why I�m upset!? Is that it? Because, if so, you have no clue how wrong you are. I�m so sick of you always jumping to conclusions.� He shook his head. �I�m not the one jumping to conclusions, Lexi.. I don�t get why you�re getting so worked up over nothing.� She sighed. �That�s just it! I hate this �I don�t care� attitude! What has been going on with you lately? And don�t you dare say it�s all the stress and strain of the tour, because that excuse has gotten old.� He rolled his eyes. �Whatever.� She shook her head. �You know what? I think it�s time we had a little break.�
�A break?! WHY?!� he asked, increduously. She sighed. �Because. Look what�s happening to us. We don�t even know why we fight anymore� Just a break. I� I think it�s for the best.�
~*Outside the winter seems so cold
Your heart is frozen like the snow
And there�s no one home
To keep you safe and warm
Your eyes are red
Because you�ve cried
You fell asleep by the fireside
But there�s one thing you should know
On this Christmas baby,
You don�t have to be alone*~
She sighed as she remembered, how long ago their agreement to take time apart from each other had been. At least 4 months, now. She missed him. More than she ever thought she would. She longed for him to hold her at night and sing her softly to sleep and tell her about all the crazy things the other guys had done that day�
�Hey, man. Why don�t you just call her? You know you want to, so go for it.� JC looked over at his young friend sighed. �Justin, I�m afraid it�s not that easy. Alexandra probably moved on a long time ago and found someone new�� Chris looked up. �You don�t know that. Call her up. Give it a try.� JC sighed. �Maybe later.� Lance rolled his eyes. �Do it now. We�re almost home� wouldn�t it be nice to have her waiting for you like old times?� JC nodded, remembering how he always raced to see her smiling face and pulling her into his arms.
�Yeah, is Alex there?� He listened for a moment, before sighing to himself. �Alright. Thanks.� He hung up, looking slightly confused and very disappointed. �Well?� Justin asked curiously. He shook his head. �Well, she�s not there� Hey! Jake!� He ran up to the front of the bus to talk to him for a minute before coming back and grabbing his stuff. �There�s been a little detour before home. I have to stop off somewhere.� Joey looked at him. �Alex?� JC nodded. �I�ve gotta get her back.� Justin clapped his shoulder. �That�s the spirit, man!�
~*I have only one wish on my list
For me and you to be the perfect gift
There�s nothing colder than an empty heart
And holidays are never meant to be alone
The smiles we gave when our hearts were safe
By each other�s love and warmth
That subsided now, happiness around
If I could only find a way to your heart*~
She snuggled deeper within the blankets for warmth, as the fire crackled in the backround. A few minutes later, she heard a soft knock on the door. She yawned, assuming it was Micheal, bringing more firewood to make sure she didn�t freeze to death. �Come in.� She rubbed her eyes and sat up. �Just put it in the corner, like usual.�
�Um, put what in the corner?� She whirled around and saw JC standing there. �JC� what are you doing here?� He sighed. �I had to talk to you. So I called your house and they said you weren�t there, so I figured you�d be here, and you are� and�� She interrupted. �You�re rambling.� He chuckled, nervously. �I do that a lot, don�t I?�
She smiled. �Why are you here, Jace?� He sighed. �Because. I can�t stand it anymore, Allie. I love you and I need you. And I�m just sorry, I didn�t have enough guts to come tell you that sooner.� She sighed and motioned him over. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him. �I love you too.� He smiled and pulled away and leaned down for a kiss. She kissed him back, knowing that the only thing she wanted for Christmas was him, and she had finally gotten him back. And now that she did, she wasn�t going to let him go.
The End!
