Christmas Wishes

Amity's POV
After everyone leaves Chaiannes house I help clean up, mostly so I can ask her about Harry. Basically I'm going to kill that boy. How dare he... I shake off the thought as I rush through the snow to get to my car. The snow falls in puffy flakes, catching on my coat and in my hair. I smile at the cool sensation when it hits my skin, I love snow. I maneuver into my car carefully, trying not to slip in my heels. Once safely buckled in I begin the trek home. Despite how much I adore snow, I cannot stand driving in it. I flip on the radio and an all too familiar song starts playing.
Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me,
but bear this in mind it was meant to be,
and I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks,
and it all makes sense to me.
the tears well in my eyes as I listen to Liam's part. I miss him so much it hurts. Despite the fact that I'm alone on Christmas, I know how lucky I am to have found him. He just makes it all worth it. He's my family.
I sing along with the song as I get home. I wait until the song finishes to get out of the car. Instead of running to get inside, I take my time. The winter air flushes my face and I shove my hands in my pockets. I layer of white blankets the deserted street, the only light coming from the street lamps over head.
"Merry Christmas amity!" A high voice calls out. I turn around to see my neighbors daughter, Casey, looking at me with a toothless grin. I crouch down and she rushes over to me, her snow pants swishing as she walks.
"Merry Christmas Casey," I say warmly. She hugs me tightly and I pat her back.
"What did you ask for from Santa?" The asks me as she pulls away from the hug. Her blonde hair full of static and squished down by her hat. I look behind her to see her parents on the front porch, her dad waves at me and smiles.
What did I ask for from Santa? I wrack my brain for something that I could possibly want but nothing comes to mind.
"I asked Santa to make sure everyone has a wonderful Christmas," I say sincerely and look into her wide blue eyes.
"Really? But what about Liam?" She asks as though in shock.
I laugh. "What about him?" I ask.
"Well my mommy says that you probably want him to ask you to marry him," she says matter of factly.
I feel the heat rise to my cheeks. "Well of course I want to marry him," I say and smile.
"And then you could have a little girl and I could have a friend!" She exclaims.
"Well aren't I your friend?" I ask with a smile. Her eyes go wide with guilt.
"Of course you're my friend, but I can't pretend you're my baby," she says as an explanation.
I laugh and get to my feet.
"Merry Christmas Casey, I hope Santa brings you those dolls you want," I say and wave to her parents before turning and walking back into my house. Casey sprints back home and I watch to make sure she gets there safely before going inside to the warmth.
Even a five year old thinks Liam and I should get married. I groan and take off my coat. I want to FaceTime Liam before I change out of my dress, or while I change out of my dress...
I pull out my phone and call him. It takes longer than usual for him to answer.
"Hey babe," he says breathily. He sounds weird though.
"Hey," I say warily. "Everything okay Li?"
"Yeah everything's fine," he rushes out. "Why?"
"You sound weird.." I mumble.
"Sorry babe," he says sincerely. I decide to drop the issue. It's not a big deal anyways.
"Do you want to FaceTime? I have to change out of my dress and I thought you might like to see it.." I say sexily.
"Shit Ammie I can't," Liam says. "You can always send me a picture though?"
I groan and go up to the bedroom.
"Yeah yeah yeah," I mutter and shut the door.
"I'm really sorry babe, tomorrow okay?" He says.
"Kay," I mumble and hold the phone out to take a mirror picture of my entire outfit. I send it to Liam and press the phone back to my ear. "I sent it."
I hear him inhale. "You look gorgeous." He says seriously.
"Thanks Liam," I say and throw myself on the bed.
"It always amazes me how beautiful you are and yet you're with me," he mumbles.
"Look who's talking," I mutter.
"Seriously amity, you're beautiful, inside and out," he says warmly.
"Love you Lion," I say and make a kissy noise.
"Love you too AmmieBug," he says and kisses back.
"Talk later? I want to hear all about your Christmas," I ask hopefully.
"Talk later Amity," he says and the line goes dead.
I groan into my pillow loudly. Why can't I just be with my boyfriend on christmas? Is that too much to ask? I kick off my heels and am about to take off my dress when a knock at the door surprises me.
I jog downstairs with my shoes in my hand. I open the door and my heart stops.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!" A chorus of voices shouts. I look at the boys familiar faces, the girls standing amongst them. I search for the one face I want to see so desperately. Nope. My heart sinks. Liam isn't here. Before I can dwell on the thought too long, a tuxedoed Louis yanks on my arm.
"We must be going," he says and grabs my coat off the rack, holding it open. I slide my arms in.
"I'm glad to see you guys and all but I have a few questions-" I begin but Zayn cuts me off.
"No time to talk," he says and throws my shoes at me. I slide them on and they rush me out the door.
"What the hell is going on??" I exclaim as I'm ushered to a waiting car. Louis opens the passenger door for me and pecks Maddy on the cheek before getting in the drivers side.
"What the hell Lou!" I exclaim. He looks at me with his signature smirk.
"You'll be thanking me later," he says and waits for all the other cars full of everyone else to pass us before slowly pulling on to the road.
"Can I least ask you where we're going?" I quiz.
"That would ruin the surprise," he says, keeping his eyes forward.
"OHMYGODDD," I groan and lean my head in my hands. I pull out my phone and text Liam.
Me: any ideas as to why your friends are kidnapping me?
I stare at my phone and wait for a response but none comes. I glance out the window at the passing scenery, it's all so familiar. I look ahead and a bunch of lights catch my eye. White Christmas lights are strung all around the gates of the grassy park that Liam took me to when we first started dating. Louis comes to a stop at the gate and looks at me.
"Ready?" He asks.
"What's going on Lou?" I ask desperately as an idea already fills my head. Without another word Louis hops out of the car and opens the door for me. Music starts playing from what seems like everywhere. The snow falls gently and the lights twinkle. The only thing that's missing is Liam.
Louis offers me his arm and I take it, he then begins to sing.
"Am I asleep, am I awake, or somewhere in between?
I can't believe that you are here and lying next to me
Or did I dream that we were perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught on a vine?" Tears well in my eyes. It's happening.
Niall appears and links arms with my other arm and continues the song.
"Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this,
I'm just the underdog who finally got the girl
And I am not ashamed to tell it to the world," he sings loudly and smiles at me conspiratorially. I grin back and the first tear falls out of my eyes.
Zayn and Harry walk out from behind the tall hedges and sing together.
"Truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you caved all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you
In love with you," they harmonize. Niall and Louis step back and Harry and Zayn link arms with me.
"Should I put coffee and granola on a tray in bed
And wake you up with all the words that I still haven't said?
And tender touches, just to show you how I feel
Or should I act so cool like it was no big deal?" Harry's voice sings out.
"Wish I could freeze this moment in a frame and stay like this
I'll put this day back on replay and keep reliving it
'Cause here's the tragic truth if you don't feel the same
My heart would fall apart if someone said your name," Zayn sings and looks at me with a smile.
"And truly, madly, deeply, I am
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you caved all my walls in
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you," they all sing in harmony. We reach a small circular area and my heart stops. Red candles are placed romantically in the snow and Christmas lights twinkle everywhere. But my focus is on Liam. He stands in the center of the circle. He grins at me as I approach him. I take in his black tuxedo. Harry and Zayn let go of my arms and it walk towards Liam.
He takes both of my hands and sings slowly, gazing into my eyes lovingly.
"I hope I'm not a casualty,
Hope you won't get up and leave
Might not mean that much to you
But to me it's everything, everything," the boys continue singing in the background as Liam talks.
"Amity, I love you more than anything in this world. Right now, I'm living my dream. I always thought I would say that because of my fame, but it's because of you. You're my everything. When I see my future, I can't picture it without you. I've stood on stage in front of millions of screaming girls, but I've never been more nervous than I am right now," his hands shake and he gets down on one knee. My heart is beating so fast I think it's going to explode.
"Amity Gracelyn Hemmingway," he says and take a deep breath. The Tiffany blue ring box appears in his hand and his brown eyes look up at me adoringly. "Will you marry me?"
My hands go to my mouth as tears stream down my face. I don't think I can even speak right now. I simply nod my head. His face splits into a grin and he gently takes my left hand, sliding the ring on it before getting to his feet.
"I love you," he mumbles and his lips crash into mine.
I don't think I've ever been happier.
