Christmas was yesterday so I started to pack my stuff for tomorrow. Well fly almost five hours and will have an hour to drive to the huts. I love packing for cold weather.

I bought myself a turntable and listen to the disks on repeat for the whole day. My packing gets interrupted by my sister storming into my room and runs into my dressing room.

"Why didn't you tell me you wouldn't be there for new year's eve?!" She asks me, looking baffled and shocked. "If you would've counted one and one together that if we're staying for a week I won't be there on new year's eve." I remark.

She lets out one of her famous, dramatic sighs and falls back onto the chair that stands in a corner of the room. "Do you realize what this means?" She asks me.

I stop folding my clothes for a second and turn over to her. "Should I realize?" "This will be the first time we are starting into a new year without each other!" I actually haven't thought about that yet.

"I'll FaceTime you during it." I tell her but get a laugh from her side. "No, you will either do Keenan at midnight or you'll get a new year's kiss- maybe even both at the same time." She wiggles her brows at me and smiles as I roll my eyes and continue to pack.

"Soo... when is your guy's wedding?" She knows extactly to not look at me right now. So she just stares at her blue painted nails and tries her best to hold back a smile. "So.. when are you going to shut up about this? We're friends. Nothing more."

El once again rolls her eyes and holds her palm into my face. "Tell than my hand, maybe she'll believe you. Come on, Gigi this trip is almost a whole proposal. You both have feelings for one another. What's the problem with that?"

"The problem is that you're wrong and you just won't shut up about this. Friends, El. F R I E N D S." I hope she understood it as far as her spelling ability lets her do so.

My sister gets up from the chair and walks over to me. "I see the way your eyes light up when he picks you up or he drops you off home. It gets intenser from day to day." She hands me my hair drier because she knows I always forget it whenever I'm going somewhere.

"I'm not falling for him, El." I don't think I can convince her of that. "Mhm, right. Just like I'm not falling for Oliver." I don't start to go into this talk further and just close my suitcase to wait for Keenan to pick me up. We're leaving this night so he told me that he's going to pick me up today for me to sleep at his place.

Keenan:

I'm here.

You:

I'll be right there.

I carried down all my things and then open the door. He's once again looking incredibly sexy. What a surprise. Giving him a light peck on his lips, I wait for my family to come down.

Mom and dad are the first ones that are here to say goodbye. Mom goes in for a hug. "Have fun, okay? I love you so much." "I love you too, mom."

Next was dad with the hug. "You be careful, alright? I love you, Gigi." He doesn't let go of me right after and I sense him looking at Keenan. "You watch out for my daughter, alright? You're going to bring her back like she is now."

"Will do." Is what Keenan answers him. Jacob and Eliana were next with saying goodbye. Keenan then wrapped his arm around my waist and took the suitcase out of my hand to carry it for me.

It's about four in the morning. Gianna and I are already at the airport, waiting for the others. She fell asleep on one of these metal chairs at the airport. Gia is really nervous to meet the others, especially because they know our circumstances.

I have just realized how risky all of this is. Everyone could see us right now. We're still in New York. But I shrug it off as good as I can, take a seat next to her and lean her head against my shoulder for her to be more comfortable.

"Uncle Keenan!" They are here. Opening my eyes, I see the crazy little girl running into my direction, being way faster than her parents are. "Hey, Liz-Liz. Oh, come here."

She climbs on top of my lap, what causes Gia to wake up. "Who is this, Keenan?" Lizzie asks me as she looks at the woman next to us. "That's Gianna. She'll join us on our trip this year. You want to say hi to her?"

The girl becomes pretty shy all of the sudden, leans her head against my chest and waves Gianna, her returning the gesture.

"Oh god, Keenan I'm so sorry we're late." Adriana tells me as she gives me a hug. "Why? You're right in time." My sister turns and looks for a clock to realize that they're really not too late. And then she turns to Gianna, a big smile forming on her face.

"So you must be Gianna. My name's Adriana." She says and gets down to hug her. "It's nice to meet you, Adriana." Aiden looks at me, questioning me how to approach her. And because I couldn't give him the answer he wanted, he just walks over to her and greets her his way. Didn't seem to be bad.

We got called to our gate after another five minutes and are now high up in the air. Gianna has the seat at the window, so I am sitting between my sister and her.

As the minutes passed, I slowly felt her head getting heavier and heavier on my shoulder, I knew she fell asleep. So I place my head on top of hers and drift off to sleep myself.
