A/N Hey. This is my first fanfic. Sorry if the first chapter is a little short, but the beginning of books/thingys are always hardest for me. But I really do hope you like it.
People are always so eager to see movies, waiting for that sappy happy ending. The one that everyone knows is coming. And we always hope for our own happy ending, where we all dance the night away, and realize nothing will ever harm us again. That ending where we realize our lives will be perfect now.
Hah. That's funny.
Real life isn't a movie, is it? No. No it very much isn't. Maybe one of those dramatic, oh no my husband cheated on m e, now I'm gonna go make a big mistake and land myself in jail types of movies. Maybe life is like that. But life is definitely not a Cinderella story. Especially not for me.
This Cinderella doesn't get her happy ending.
But still, I can pretend, can't I?
Max's POV
"Max!" a small voice called out, quickly joined by 2 more. Well, 3, if you count the dog.
"5minutesmoreplease…" I begged.
"Max! Get up!" Gazzy practically yelled in my ear. I turned onto my other side and pulled the pillow over my head.
"Get up. MAX!" Angel yelled, but it was in my head this time. Surprised, I rolled out of bed and got tangled in my sheets. A wet tongue licked my nose repeatedly.
"Eww, Angel get Total away from my nose!" I said, trying to swipe Total's tongue off my nose.
"Humph, I don't like you either." The dog huffed in my ear and trotted away.
"MAX! Get up! Do you remember what today is? Today is Christmas. OH, Max, we've never had a real Christmas before! Well with Jeb and all, but this is better! Too bad it's not snowing. I would've liked to build a snowman. But still MAX! IT"S CHRISTMAS!! Come ON! Fang said we couldn't open our gifts 'til you got up. Ooo I wonder what everyone got! I really hope we ca-" I placed my hand over Nudge's mouth, having stood up, much to everyone's delight.
"I'm up, I'm up, you can go now." I mumbled, still half-asleep.
Don't go back to sleep, Max. I'll know. And if you do, I'll send one of the boys up here to get you.
Ah, gah okay, that made me wake up. Fang wouldn't have to do anything, just stand there and be quiet and I'd be up, and Iggy would probably like tip me out of bed or something that I didn't want. Gazzy well Gazzy would be Gazzy.
After everyone left, I took a quick shower, letting the hot water wake me up. I changed into a basic outfit, jeans and a light green t-shirt that said Leader of the Pack. Only Angel had crossed out "pack" and had written "Flock" with a black fabric marker.
So, still sleepy, but clean and dressed, I made my way downstairs to The Flock, so they could open their presents, as they so eagerly have waited.
A/N Yeah, so please feel free to review. I'd appreciate your opinons. And dont worry. It's going to get a lot better. I hope.
