“What?” I said, popping up. I did not want to leave. And I did not want this Christmas to end. It was starting to turn out well. It was ending before it really had began.
“We’re leaving to preform on Rockin’ New Years Eve, Jess.” said Kevin.
“Oh now we’re not!” I said. This was not going to happen.
“Yes we are!” said Nick, out of nowhere.
“What?”
“Bye!” said Kevin. I had a feeling that this wasn’t going to turn out well.
“Jess! We have to go! Why don’t you understand! We’re going to preform live!”
“What about me? What about us? This was supposed to be the best Christmas ever! Can’t we leave a different time?”
“No! We have to!”
“This was all I wanted for Christmas,” I said, tears coming to my eyes. “All I wanted was to be with you and have time to just us. We never get that. Why don’t you see it?”
“Because, music comes first and I’m done,” said Nick, who ran upstairs and slammed his door.
