  I should probably explain what is going on.
      River embarrassed me in front of my whole school, then I ran out crying, then I kissed Dallas, then I ran away from him.
      After running away from Dallas like a fool, I found Dom and had him give me a ride home which he was perfectly fine with. He wanted to stay over and make sure I'm fine but I needed to be alone. Ocean, Preslie, and Orion all tried calling me all night to see if I was fine but I ended up turning my phone off and crying myself to sleep.
      When I woke up the next morning and checked my phone I had dozens on dozens of missed calls and texts from my friends - including Dallas.
      &quot;Hey Eliza... um I'm just calling to see if you're okay. It's Dallas... by the way. You probably figured that so never mind. I don't really know how to leave voicemails, wow..... But anyways, I'm not sure why you ran off like that

  Christmas Day
      &quot;I'll get it!&quot; I yell down to my parents when the doorbell rung. I ran down the stairs and opened the door to greet Orion, as expected.
      &quot;Hey, Liz!&quot; Orion chuckled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and greeted him with a big hug.
      &quot;Merry Christmas, Rio,&quot; I smiled as I pulled away from him.
      &quot;Merry Christmas.&quot; He returned the smile, staring me in my eyes as he spoke. &quot;I missed you.&quot;
      &quot;You saw me two days ago,&quot; I chuckled as I let him into my house.
      &quot;Long enough.&quot; He shrugged, taking his coat off and placing it on the coat hook.
      &quot;You're early,&quot; I stated as we made our way into the kitchen where my parents were. &quot;I'm still in my pyjamas.&quot; I looked down at my pyjamas that had red nosed reindeers all over them.
      &quot;Yes, and they're very cut

  &quot;Preslie, can you hurry up? I can't feel my ass.&quot; I groaned, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited for her to finish curling my hair.
      &quot;Stop whining, you look amazing.&quot; She smiled as she finished the last strand. &quot;We've been waiting for tonight for so long and now it's finally here. How do you feel?&quot;
      &quot;We weren't waiting for it, you were.&quot; I rolled my eyes, standing up and taking a look at myself in the mirror. I had to admit that I did look pretty good.
      I liked my dress more than I thought now that I was all dressed up. For some reason, I was starting to get a little excited which was weird for me.
      &quot;You look so cute,&quot; Ocean smiled, coming over to Preslie and I by the vanity with her phone out ready for snapchat pictures
