The Blogger looks around the girl's beautifully decorated room...
there's Christmas lights glowing softly in the dark, giving it a cozy feel; "The light I saw..." he thought aloud.. The woman smiles somewhat proudly "I see you like my decorations..." her voice is now at a normal volume, yet is still very soft and crackles a lot. He replies "...Yeah... I... set up the lights where I lived.. Um, I'm into decorating and junk..", she giggles and invites him to follow her as she crawls in the middle of her bed "Come up here and tell me...".. He gets hot all over as she seems to treat him as if they knew each other before tonight. "Uh..." He starts... She giggles "Take your shoes off, I want you up here with me❤!", he takes them off, but freaks some and stands up instead...
The woman snickers some "So you were really stranded, you're all by yourself for Christmas?..." she asks with a faux pout... The blogger replies "...yeah... I can't call my family, and I don't really have friends..". The woman crawls closer, his heart pounds hard as she asks "What's your name?" with a smile. He starts to blush lightly, it seems as if she was coming on to him(?) Then the blogger tries to calmly say "L, L, L ...Lindon"... She suddenly sits up; meeting him at eye-level, surprising Lindon... She then slowly pulls back and giggles "My name's Rae" she introduces herself, her voice squeaks lightly as she finishes, "Cute name.." he replies nervously. "Thank you, now what do you do, Lindon? I'm trying to figure why would someone abandon anybody on Christmas eve..." Rae asks. "I'm trying to be a blogger..." he explains, "And how's that working out?" She asks. "OK... It's not bad, I get a little... But yeah.." he somewhat explains.. "I thought you were a politician or something.." Rae jokes "So why would a blogger be abandoned?". "My family hates me.. Maybe I was a brat, a bully, maybe I wasn't making enough from the blogs.. I don't know..I'm not saying I'm perfect but the last time I did anything `wild` was when I was 12? Things got rough and I..I don't know.. Unless they hate that I was a gamer?" Lindon replied. She watches his expression as he spoke and then asks "So you're saying you've been quiet for a very long time, there shouldn't be a reason for anyone to be angry at you; because you haven't done anything?"
Lindon looks away "Ah, it makes me sound like I'm lying when you say it that way... Of course I probably got a little excited and yeah, I got mad at them..but I didn't stay angry every day.. Hell, I still think the only reason my sis is the way she is only because she sees everybody else treating me like garbage, I shrugged off what they say but they reinforce it then.." he wonders out loud, "So now it's their fault? Your parents hate you and made your siblings hate you too?" Rae asks. "That sounds stupid..they coulda killed me a very long time ago, but something made them hate me for the past couple of years.. I try my best not to speak with anybody when I noticed everything started getting bad, but it just got worse.." he revealed. "Then what about others? Are you cursed or anything?" Rae laughs "Do strangers hate you?". " They get annoying but nobody went out of their way to screw with me, everybody has their own problems and they could explode randomly. But it was never deep embedded hatred that lasted..not like where I came from." Lindon as he turns back towards her, "So you're just a quiet gamer, doing a blog and your family hates you for no reason at all?" Rae asks with a slight giggle..
"OK, it sounds stupid, but they eventually just left me stranded! I guess it bothered them before, but they just left me!" Lindon says with some frustration, "My family.." Rae says as she looks put the window.. "Was annoying, but loving.. When I moved out though, it was with support and love. But all through school it was just ..nothing, nobody cared that I existed pass what they needed to. Even when I was afraid that I'd be bullied, it didn't last long enough because my existence wasn't that important to anyone, I wasn't memorable to anyone I met..save for a handful of friends.. Who moved away a long while ago...". She looks back into Lindon's eyes "Work's pretty much the same, I even tried to see what I could get away with by changing numbers, taking more sick days than I earned and even ignoring calls. Things are so automated and repetitive that no one really cares. Some things are tough alone, and nobody helping or caring that you exist kinda bears down on you, wether or not they're jerks..rude or whatever; they don't matter, nothing that happens really matters." she explains her life quite quickly...
Then she adds as she put her hands together "It's.. It'll be rude to be upset with anyone else for having what you don't and they suffered from it. There was no way for you to be loved by those people?" Rae asked, "I....don't know.. I thought they did because I was living there, then I was thinking they just wanted a pet adult man, then ..we're up to here.. I'm just abandoned, and due being a adult, who's gonna care? I'm probably screwed.." Lindon replies. "No, not yet.. You mean by being out in the cold, huh?" she asks as she sat up and looked deeply into her eyes. "???I can sue them? They still have my laptop.." the blogger somewhat jokes. "No.. You can get it back, but that's not what we're doing now." Rae started "I'm actually a Interior designer... I thought it would help me ...but here I am, alone on Christmas eve.". She then giggles some "Well not this year, you're the first person I've really spoken to in years..", "Wait, I thought you still talked to your family?" Lindon asks, "Scratch it, the first person I spoke to that wasn't asking for a handout in years." Rae corrects herself and laughs.. Lindon does too, except with nervousness.. "Yeah, I'll probably be staying over for a while.."
Rae smirks as she grabs his hand "Or you could stay instead, instead of leaving it to luck.." she suggests, "Um, stay here? Really? We just met..." Lindon replies with nervousness.. "Lindon: sometimes people just don't get along and it's nobody's fault. Even if you try to fix things or stay away from them; they'll hate you anyway. You have to let them go, you have to let that part of yourself go too." she explains seriously "And the first step is realizing when another door opens; now do you want to go out in the cold? Try to go back to your family? Or move forward?". Lindon looks at her, and grabs her hands with his other hand " You're right...I'll move forward" he says nervously.... While she's offering to help him; the reality of his finding a random home on Christmas eve and moving in with a someone he doesn't know (could be lying or not) is a extreme change. But anything was better than going back to what he came from...
The next year; they pooled together their actual talents and opened a Florist shop!(?)
Merry Christmas🎄!
