Christmas time was your favorite time to arrive back at the island. Everyone here was so cheery. You were surprising your parents with your arrival. People who saw you greeted you. The whole town knew everyone who has or does live here. You hadn't been back in forever but since your years in the states for college was almost up you decided to come visit, just to break the ice for Christmas. The family was thrilled.

You cruised through town. Every building had festivities. The local farmers market had blow ups this year, you could see the giant Christmas tree in the center in the island from where you stood. You laughed and moved towards the Arch Hall. It was the place where anyone could rent a building for a party. It was currently Ellens birthday, she was the islands grandma. She treated everyone with kindness. You still got letters from her. You moved inside, sliding off my scarf.

The jingle of the bell rung some attention towards you, some of your old classmates can charging to greet you. After sorting through the crowd, greeting your family and literally everyone else you were able to relax.

Until you got a message, it was your brother. He was late to the party due to staying late at work and he needed a ride. I got my parents car keys and drove towards his work. Gripping the wheel tightly. It was the tallest building on the island.. Luka Asher owned it. Your ex.

It was undecorated and gloomy. You moved inside stiffly. Just because of your luck, he came out of the elevator while you were waiting for your brother to appear. He paused for a second before recognizing you.
