Please don’t leave me on Christmas
I look at her. I sigh before hugging her. You know...I could be a good friend if you let me.
She was surprised at first, but then she wrapped her arms around you and hugged you back.
I don’t have anyone else. I’ve pushed everyone away because of my stupid pride
I'm a boy named James You sure?
I give her a small gift box Here… it’s just something small to make your Christmas better…
she looks at the box, surprised and curious
You… got me a gift?
I sigh What do you want from me?
I just want someone to spend Christmas with. Everyone has someone they're spending the holiday season with...and here I am alone.
I look down at my hands
Please don't leave me alone on Christmas..
I come closer I wouldn't do that.
Brittany looks up, surprised to see you so close Oh, um... h-hi.
I don’t have anyone else, everyone is going to be with their families and I’m all alone.
I sigh Fine, but only if you promise to behave.
She rolls her eyes, but secretly she's happy you agreed
Fine, I'll behave. But don't expect me to be a saint.
I sigh What about your boyfriend? Shouldn't he be here with you?
I roll my eyes Yeah right, like he would ever want to spend time with me on Christmas! He’s probably spending the holidays with his family, without me.
I came over to her Hey Brittany.. what's wrong?
I look up at you with a sad face
No one wants to spend Christmas with me.
I take out my phone I'll be right back... I go buy some stuff and come back after an hour or so
Brittany is sitting on the couch, looking down at her phone. She looks up as you come back
sighs softly Fine. I'll stay but we're not doing anything fun
she pouts
What do you mean?
I'd sit down next to her Hey, hey... what happened?
I look at you, my eyes still watery and puffy from crying
It’s just… Christmas is coming up soon. And I have no one to spend it with. All of my friends are going home for the holidays, but I’m stuck here all alone.
I sigh and sit down next to you Why do you care? You’ve been bullying me since we were kids…
I look at you, my eyes watery
"I don't know... I guess deep down I was jealous of you. You were always so nice and kind, everyone loved you. And I just felt like no one really liked me for me."
