Merry Christmas Max

No one understands me. No one even cares. Everyone thinks I'm happy and cheerful but I'm not. How could you be when your mom is dead? But I guess it's my own fault. I told them I got over her death but I haven't. She promised she would come see for Christmas but she died shortly after a car wreak. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

Great, now I'm crying again. I wiped away my tears and tried to hold back my tears. I wish mom didn't have to die. I really miss her.

The door opened slightly and my dad came in. "Tyson wants to see you." he said.

"Okay!" I said putting on my cheerful act. Tyson came in and my dad went out closing the door. He had a gift wrapped in blue wrapping paper and an orange ribbon under his left arm.

"Hi Max," he greeted sitting next to me on my bed, "Are you okay?"

"Of course I am," I replied, "Why do you ask?"

"Your Dad is kind of worried about you," he told me, "He said you were getting a bit pale and you haven't eaten much lately,"

"Oh," I whispered. Tyson and the other knew about my mom's death.

"Anyway, I got you a Christmas present," Tyson gave me the gift he was holding. I opened it revealing a dog plushie.

"Thanks Tyson! How did you know?" I asked him.

"Well, you look like the type who likes them," Tyson laughed scratching the back of his head making me blush.

"I know it's tuff since your mom died," he then said, "But you're lucky,"

I was puzzled. "Huh?"

"My mom died when I was still little," he sighed, "I never knew her. But you remember your mom. You knew that she cared about you before she died so you're lucky,"

"I'm sorry" I felt ashamed of myself. Tyson never knew his mom. His mom died when he was still young before he could remember her.

"It's okay," he said, "My dad said that she's watching me from Heaven and so is your mom,"

"Thanks Tyson," I smiled at him, "You've helped me a lot,"

"No problem," Tyson grinned, "And before I go I want to give you another gift," He leaned toward me till we were face to face.

"Tyson?" I stammered wondering what he was doing. He tilted my head and kissed me. I blushed as he pulled away smiling. "Merry Christmas Max,"
