Thirty Four

December 25

Los Angeles, California

"Wakey wakey angel face" Billie bursts into the room with a wide grin on her face. I only look at her with tired eyes and frown. Adjusting my hearing aids, I clear my throat and turn to my girlfriend.

"Baby it's three in the morning"

She only shrugs her shoulders at me and walks over to me. "Why are you up anyways? And where were you?" I ask her and she smiles evilly at me.

I'm scared.

"I was with Iris" She tells me and gets up to walk over to my bag of clothes. "We are going somewhere and I need you to be ready in thirty minutes, no later."

"For what?"

She doesn't respond only hands me my clothes and points to the bathroom. I open my mouth to protest but she shakes her head at me and gently pushes me out the door and into the bathroom.

"Shower and get ready. Chop chop" Billie then turns and leaves the bathroom, leaving me wondering what the fuck was going on.

—

"Fuck I hate this hill" Billie pants heavily beside me making me chuckle. After Billie woke me up and forced me out of the house, she drove us a hour away to this creepy ass forest.

Do I know why? Nope.

Is she ever going to tell me? Nope.

"You the one who brought us out here." I comment and she adorably glares at me. I roll my eyes with a smile and lift her into my arms. "Don't worry I got you baby"

She smiles sheepishly at me and hooks her arms around my neck. I carry us to the top of the hill where we are presented with the most beautiful view I ever seen. I almost dropped her in shock and awe when I saw it.

"Bil it's beautiful" I comment as I set her back, not tearing my eyes away from the view. She smiles and stands beside me, holding my hand in hers.

"I like to think that pretty views are our thing now so I thought why not spend our Christmas morning here for a few hours." I smile over at her and pull her into a sweet kiss before hugging her to my chest.

"You amaze me Billie O'Connell."

—

I laugh as Iris jumps into my lap. "Get off me you big oof" I push her causing her to crash into the floor with a loud thud. I burst out laughing as she glares at me.

"You're so mean to me" She playfully pouts as Finneas walks into the room with a huge smile on his face.

"It's Christmass" He beams happily and jumps on the bed beside me. "I made us Christmas sweaters" He opens the bag and pulls out a very interesting looking crocheted sweater.

"Merry Christmas Finn" is all I can say while Iris just stares at the sweaters in shock. She looks at me and I glare at her not to say anything bad. She awkwardly gestures at the sweaters while Finneas rants how he made sweaters for everyone and pulls the rest of them out.

Moments later, Billie bursts into the room with a bright grin on her face. "Baby I got—Why are you all in my room and whose ugly ass sweaters are those?" I glance at Finneas who puts his hands on his hips like a scolding father. "That's not nice Billie" He tells her and she rolls her eyes, walking over to me.

"Hi baby" She smiles over at me as she settles down in my lap making me chuckle and wrap my arms around her goddess like body. "Hi baby" I kissed her nose making her laugh adorably.

"Finneas made them" Iris says holding up the horrible looking clothing.

Billie looks at them in disgust before clearing her throat. She turns to her brother with her best convincing smile. "I miss spoke your sweaters are wonderful brother"

Finneas glares at her and smacks his lips. "Suck a dick Bil" He tells her before turning and leaving, taking his sweaters with him. Billie pouts as she watches her brother leave and gets up to go talk to him.

Iris turns to me and smiles. "So where were you two earlier this morning?" She asks teasingly making me grin and roll my eyes.

"She took me to see this magnificent view of the city." Iris immediately awed and I shushed her by hitting her with my pillow. She gasped dramatically before hitting me back making me laugh wholeheartedly.

"You guys are so cute. Definitely the sky couple"

"What's that?" I ask her and she shrugs, putting the pillow down. "You guys are the type of couple to take pictures of the sky and send to each other."

I instantly find myself smiling at her words. She's right because Billie use to send me pictures of the sunset when she was back on tour. I use to love them so much and would look forward to them every day.

Walking back into the room with a satisfied smile on his face, Finneas claps to get our attention dramatically making us both look at him with an raise of our brows. "Why are you clapping?" Iris laughs and he moves out of the doorway to reveal the most hilarious thing I think I ever seen in my life.

Billie in his ridiculously ugly Christmas sweater.

She took one step into the room with an angry pout on her face. Her whole body was stiff and tense and I just couldn't do anything but laugh. Iris and I bursted out laughing making Billie quickly glare at us.

"Oh god I have to record this" I say as I pull my phone out of my pocket. Going on instagram, I go live as Iris gets up to walk over to Billie.

"Billie I have to say you are modeling it amazing" Iris gushes like she's a fashion designer before the two of us burst out laughing again.

"It's not fucking funny and stop recording me" Billie snaps. Finneas just stands there with a proud smile on his face.

I look at the comments of people joining the live and shake my head. "Finneas made the sweater guys. Doesn't look like a beautiful masterpiece" I ask making Billie look over at me.

"You're on live?" I nod my head before screaming as I'm tackled on the bed by an angry Billie. "I'm sorry!" I yell as she attacks me.

Iris rushes over while Finneas runs out of the room. Be fucking for real Finneas! "Ginger come get your sister!" I scream while Iris attempts to remove Billie off of me.

"Get off live!" Billie shouts and begins tickling me causing me to burst out into a laughing fit. I stutteringly scream out never making Billie evilly smirk down at me. She straddles in my lap and her tiny fingers tickle me until my stomach begins to hurt.

"O-Ok!" I flip us over quickly and pin Billie under me causing her look at me in shock. "I'm sorry" I pant out, trying to catch my breath. She roll her eyes and I kiss her nose causing her to smile softly.

"Mhm that's what I thought" She says before looking behind me. I look over my shoulder to see Iris with my phone in her hand, still on live.

Ah shit

Billie hurriedly pushes me off of her and lunges for the phone. She snatches the phone out of Iris's hand. "Merry Christmas guys" She says before waving bye and ends the live.

I ended up on the floor feeling like this situation is very familiar. I watch as Billie turns to face me and rushes to help me off the floor. "I'm sorry!" she quickly says while I remain quiet.

Iris excuses herself and I just stare at Billie trying to figure out what to say. We sit down on the bed and she hands me my phone to which I just toss on the bed.

"It's fine Bil we should go see what everyone else is doing." is all I say before I leave the room, not waiting on her to follow me.
