Holidays, one of the the most festive time of the year and best when reuniting with others to celebrate. I've never really liked it though as my birthday is 2 days before Christmas and I could not ask for more than one gift. This year the family decided we were all gathering at our house instead of vacationing somewhere.
Lots of people were invited, yet sleeping arrangements were already predetermined. Immediate family and close friends had priority to staying in our house and anyone else would have to stay at a hotel nearby, and then come over during dinner party/family time.
I noticed my mother had invited my aunt, uncle, and all 5 of my cousins. Took all my important belongings to the guest room knowing I would too have give up my room during those days for my cousins. The other accessible room was the guest room, and what I mean accessible is that it is wheelchair friendly.
We had an unexpected guest that I was not aware of, my dads friend Tony who had not seen in years. "Wow you're getting older" Tony said, he has not seen me since the longest. Yes, just turned 18! I replied. Dad explained and try to convince me to give up the guest room as his friend now needed it. Tony a bit embarrassed at what was happening asked where was I going to stay if he took the room.
Father suggested I could sleep in their bedroom room with them, yet I didn't want to do that. It is too much of a hassle to going upstairs to their room. I trying to keep the guest bedroom suggested Tony could sleep on the couch in the living room, he agreed that he could stay and not to worry as the couch did look comfortable.
After the Christmas Eve party we all went to sleep at around 1 AM. I noticed the guest bedroom door didn't close properly as it should without forcing it shut, that's probably because door was painted without sanding it and now it is thicker. Left it cracked open, but it wasn't easy to fall asleep as dads friend was snoring loud right outside the room.
I shouldn't have had all that punch and sodas I thought as I had an urgency to pee, so I got up and rolled out to the Bathroom close to the living room. As I was peeing, I noticed everything had become quiet. I was happy I could now sleep well, so I went back to my room. Noticed the bedroom was now completely open but I thought it was just the stupid door that had opened in its own.
