Day One

Well, Ella wished that Jay wouldn't have went so far away and so soon. She looked pretty desperate, but always tried to hide it - so nobody would notice how bad she missed Jay's presence.

Christmas time demands clear spirits, peaceful souls, rested bodies, at least Ella thought it should be like this. Every year that passed she tried to make herself better during Christmas, so she could find herself happier in the magical December 24's night. Not this year though. "Damn it Jay, did you have to take my soul and warmth with you? Jay, do you notice you took 'em?" No peace inside Ella this Christmas. No peace inside Jay either.

Ella's throat was killing her, she was complaining about how her throat ached for a couple days. Jay always stopped the aching just by standing next to Ella. Jay's hand was hurt the day before... Ella wondered how it was at the moment. It wasn't raining on that day, but Ella could only see a grey day, similar to a heavy rain day. She felt soaked, despite there was no rain. She could hardly breathe. Ella never thought she would miss Jay this way.
