I'll Go Down with My Friends

**Skipping to Christmas Eve**

*Jaimie's POV*

I wake up late and feel a hell of a lot better than when I wake up early. It's Christmas Eve and Gerard, Frank, Mikey, Ray, and I are going to get together at Gee's house for our 'Christmas party'. We don't have a set time so I guess I should go now, since it's twelve o' clock. I pull on just regular skinny jeans and Blink-182 shirt and my beat up black converse, grab the bag of gifts and head out.

"Mom, dad, I'm going to my friends' house!" I call before closing the door.
It snowed a lot here, but a few people decided to shovel their sidewalks while others were too lazy. I knock on the door and Gerard opens it, pulling me inside.

"You look freezing!" He laughs, "you have snow all over you!"
I grin and take my coat off and throw it on then pile if other coats. We walk into the living room and I see everyone, along with hot chocolate.

"You're late!" Ray laughs, sitting on the floor near the tree. Frank and Mikey are on either side of the couch and Gerard sits in a recliner. I put the bag down over by Ray and take a seat in between Mikey and Frank.
"Finally, I get to see what you got me!" Frank beams, jumping up and down.
"Frank you are way to hyper," I laugh.
"Yeah more than usual," Ray says looking through all the presents.

"Are we gonna open presents or what?" Mikey says putting his arm around me.
"Yes!" Gerard almost shouts, throwing a wad of paper at Ray, "give us our presents, Fro Man!"
"Okay, okay!" Ray laughs, getting some of them and standing up.
"Here is your present, queen Gee," he says handing him a small box. "Here is yours, Mikey ruler of the unicorns," he hands Mikey the present I gave him, which right now is the tube-thing that posters come in all wrapped up in probably seven layers of paper.
"Yours, Jaimie," he hands me a present from Gerard. "What no nickname?" I ask.
"Sorry, not yet," he grins.
"And yours, King Frank," he says handing him the present I got him.
"Wait, Queen Gee and King Frank?" I chuckle, making everyone laugh, Frank blushing a little.
"Okay, mine is from Ray," Gerard said drawing the attention to him. He tears the paper off and opens the box, holding up a pair of headphones. The good kind with the rubber.
"Thanks Ray," Gerard smiles, "I've been dying since my old ones broke!"
"Okay my turn," Mikey says excitedly ripping at the paper. "God, Jaimie, how much paper is on here?" He says ripping layer after layer of paper off, making me laugh.
"No seriously,"
"I dunno," I shrug.
He finally gets all the paper off and opens the container, pulling out the paper and unrolling it. He laughs when he sees it and turns around for everyone else to see, making them laugh too.
"It's what I've always wanted!" He smiles and kisses my cheek.
"Okay now you, Jaimie," Gerard grins, recognizing his gift to me. I unwrap the somewhat small box and open it, giving him a look when I see what's sitting on top of a bunch of fluff, making him giggle uncontrollably.
"Really Gerard?" I say holding up a condom package, making him giggle even more.
"I bet you poked a hole in it too didn't you, Gerard?" I jokingly accused him, struggling to keep a straight face.
"Look under all the fluff," Gerard ordered, pointing to the box.
I pull out the fluff and throw as much of it as I can at Gerard, and under the fluff I discover a bunch of CD's of bands I like, along with a Nirvana shirt.
"Thank you Gee," I say getting up to give him a hug. Hey, every once in a while I like to hug. I sit back down in my spot and wait for Frank to open his.
He rips the layers of paper until he gets to the gloves, gasping when he sees them.
"Yes! Thank you!" He says putting them on and hugging me best he can from right next to me, which turns out kind of awkward.
"Okay mine is from Mikey," Ray says opening a book shaped gift.
"Oh look, it's a diary! Just what I always wanted," he laughed, holding up a book with the a lock and the word 'Diary' on it. "Thanks," he laughed gathering presents for the next round.
Gerard gets a skeleton pajama thing from Mikey, some comic books from Frank, and the art stuff from me. Mikey gets an Anthrax shirt from Gee, and toy unicorns from both Ray and Frank, who give each other high fives. I get from Mikey an iTunes gift card, which is what I wanted, a few wristbands from Ray, and the game Twister from Frank. "We could play it sometime," Frank says wigglin his eyebrows.
"Good thing I have a condom," I joke, causing Gerard to go into another giggle fit. Ray gets the guitar picks from me, a hair straightener from Gerard, and a hair brush from Frank.

Afterwards we kinda sit around joking with each other. I put all my stuff in the box I got from Gee and set it aside where it won't get lost or something.

"So how soon do you think you'll use my present?" Gerard jokes, making Ray laugh and everyone else giggle.

"How about now?" I ask jokingly.

"Of course!" He says getting up and starting to pull me out of the room, grabbing it from the box.

"Hey!"
"Dude!" Frank and Mikey call out. We keep walking towards his room when they get up, and follow us until Gerard closes the door and locks it. I start laughing into my hand and Gerard tries not to laugh.

"Here you can keep it," he says handing it back to me.

"Why wouldn't I keep my Christmas present?" I ask, rolling my eyes.

"See, I totally knew you'd want it," he smirks.
"Wanna mess with these guys?" He asks pointing towards the door where Mikey and Frank still stood outside.

"Sure," I shrug, giggling. He smirks walking over to the door and starts moaning loudly.
Oh my god.
I cover my mouth to stop from making some weird awkward dying dolphin sound. He waves me over and mouths 'come on'. I shake my head and he rolls his eyes, pulling me over by the arm. He slightly pinches near my neck causing me to let out a weird moaning like noise. Frank starts pounding on the door and shouting, making me laugh before opening the door. "Merry Christmas," I say walking out with Gerard laughing behind me.
"Do you guys think you could all stay the night?" Gerard asks as we all sit in random places in the living room.
"On Christmas Eve?"
"We kinda have to be with out families Gerard,"
"I probably could," I shrug, making everyone look at me since they were talking about being with their families and crap.
"Oh, sorry," I look around awkwardly.
"Eh, I see my family all the time," Frank shrugs.
"Well, yeah....okay fine," Ray agrees.

Well, I've never had a sleep over the day before Christmas, and I'll probably get in trouble, but whatever.

Notes

Hey guys, Merry Christmas in 6 (5 if you're reading on Friday) days until Christmas! Is it just me or did this year go by really fast?
