*Ariana*
                          
"It's the time of the beautiful year for Christmas shopping!" Frankie yelled jumping and twirling around.
                          
I smiled at his excitement and finished up my cup of orange juice. I have a break from acting, the last episode we shot until January was the Christmas episode and I gladly enjoyed shooting it. I stood to my feet and washed up my dish by the sink before grabbing my purse and my jacket.
                          
"Are you ready Frankie?" I called from downstairs.
                          
"Yeah!" He came from the corner and ran towards the door, swinging it open. 
                          
I jogged towards the car and unlocked the doors for Frankie to climb in. When he did we begun to talk about what gifts we have in mind for our family.
                          
We climbed out of the car and walked towards the mall. There were many paps snapping photos of Frankie and I as we walk to the entrance, Frankie is actually enjoying taking photos. I grabbed his wrist and pulled him behind me faster before we had the chance to get mobbed.
                          
"No pictures for the press today." I demanded.
                          
He nodded and pulled me to a jewelry store two stores down from where we were standing. We walked around a bit and decided to look at the necklaces. There was one that has little pink diamonds making a heart with silver outlining it. 
                          
"Look at this." 
                          
Frankie pointed to a necklace that has a gold outlined heart that is sort of twisted with sterling diamonds. It was beautiful, different and something my mom doesn't have. I looked up at Frankie and nodded.
                          
"Excuse me may we have this necklace please." Frankie said to the clerk.
                          
She looked up from the diamonds she was observing and replied with a yes. She opened the case with a key and carefully slipped out the necklace. 
                          
"How much?" I asked pulling out my wallet.
                          
"304.99 please." 
                          
I pulled out four one hundred dollar bills and handed to her. She punched in some buttons and handed my change in cash before placing the necklace in a cherry red colored box with a ribbon tied around. She placed the box into a bag and handed the bag to me wishing me a Merry Christmas.
                          
"Now GRANDPA!" Frankie yelled causing others to turn their heads.
                          
I let out a laugh and ran after Frankie who's running in a direction towards the other stores. We ran into a men's clothing store and looked around at the suits they sold. Grandpa always wears a suit no matter where he is, he always seems to have a damn suit on. I check the racks and one stood out, it's navy blue with black suspenders and a white button down shirt. He never seems to wear the color navy blue often so this would be something different he might wear. I pulled the hanger that had the suit attached to it from the racket and kept searching. At the end of the suit search I had four suits, one navy blue, one gray, one light brown, and one white. 
                          
Frankie and I walked out of the clothing store and sat down on one of the benches.
                          
"Okay we brought Nonna's gift yesterday, we have mom's and grandpa's gift now all we need is dad. Then you can get whoever else. I already got your presents." 
                          
I nodded and we went our separate ways to different stores. I know exactly what to get Frankie.

*Harry*
                          
"Do you know what Taylor wants?" Niall asked besides me.
                          
"No but I have a idea."
                          
I didn't really have an idea I was panicking. I didn't know what anyone wanted for Christmas and I'm a terrible shopper.
                          
"Do you know what Ariana wants?" Niall asked.
                          
"Who?" 
                          
"Ariana. The girls who is your ex." he explained slowly.
                          
"Oh. No why should I?"
                          
There was really no point in knowing what Ariana wanted for Christmas, we aren't seeing each other and I haven't heard from her in weeks.
                          
"Oh because the lads and I are mailing her presents." 
                          
"Oh."
                          
He looked at me once before walking off towards the bracelet displays. Maybe I should get Ariana something for Christmas, it would be weird to be the only one who didn't send her one. I looked at the bracelets in the case and took in every detail. One had the infinity sign carved with diamonds and a gold outline, Another one was plain gold with the words 'Forever' carved into it, then I came upon a necklace my breath hitched and my heart stopped. It was the airplane necklace I gave to Ari when we first started dating. Also a necklace Taylor wanted.
                          
*Flashback*
                          
"Oh my gosh Harry look at that. It's a couple's necklace. That would be so cute to have."
                          
I turned to face the necklace and I no longer wanted to be here. My heart ached of regret and memories flooded my mind.
                          
"Yeah it is. Let's go."
                          
I pulled Taylor softly by the wrist and made my way down to another jewelry store hoping not to find the same necklace.
                          
"Harry I really wanted that necklace."
                          
*End of flashback* 
                          
"Excuse me sir can I have both of these and this jewel right there."
                          
He nodded and went through the process of placing the jewelry in a box before he handed it to me. All I could think about is the necklace, I wouldn't want to give it to Ariana because then she will probably hate me for doing so, but if Ariana saw the necklace on Taylor's neck then what?
                          
"I got Ariana a bracelet. What did you get her?" Niall said walking out of the jewelry store.
                          
"I don't know I'm trying to decide."
                          
He nodded towards the bag in my hand carrying the boxes of jewelry but I waved him off and we continued walking side by side. Each time we passed by another jewelry store I thought about my decision more and more until I came to a conclusion.
