Treehouse (dreamnotfound)

now would be a nice time to be anyone but me

George's POV

Before I knew it, New years was just around the corner and this time I would have no one to spend it with besides my own mom.
What 15 Year old spends New Years alone......

11:55 pm

Five minutes

I quickly grab my phone and sit on the front porch stairs with some sparkling cider and just
wait.
This has to be the longest 5 minutes of my life.
It's been a interesting year if I have to say, I met one friend who I cherish very deeply at this point.

I even learned I loved him,

But sadly he can't be here to simply celebrate New Years with me.

I can hear the small countdown coming from the T.V that my moms watching in the living room, even through the closed door on the porch

3,

2,

1,

I grab out my phone and open messages

Clay

George
Happy new year, thank you for everything

Clay's pov

Me friends invited me to a new years party, and now that i'm "popular" I have to go apparently.
So, I agreed.

It was a nice party, I knew most people there from classes i've had from them or simply seeing them in the hallways.

It was fine until we started playing games.
Spin the bottle was the popular vote and I was pushed into the circle of people by Nick.

"Hey I don't think I want to play-"
"Dude come on there's like a 5% chance it will land on you"
"god fine...i'm trusting you with that"

I say down next to Nick and waited for someone to spin.

"Okay", a girl exclaimed, "I'm guessing you all know the rules so here we go"
She say down and spun the bottle.

First it landed on a boy whom I didn't recognize, he got up seeming confident and went and kissed the girl

JUST LIKE THAT??!!
how does he act like it's nothing what the fu-

"Okay i'll go next" Another girl, this one I recognized from bio.
She spun the bottle, which seemed to keep spinning and spinning till it landed on

me

I quickly look over at Nick panicked and mouth
I never even wanted to do this fuck you

As I got up to walk over to this girl I looked over at Nick flipped him off and returned to the girl.

"Hi"
"hi-"
"God are you gonna do it or not?" She looked annoyed
"Uh yeah about that is there any way I could just no-"

Before I could finished my sentence she grabbed the side of my head and pulled me into her lips.
It took me a few seconds to process what was happening before I pushed her away.

I didn't know what to do so I just walked away:

yep.

just walked out of the room and outside.

nothing happened.

act natural......

I feel fucking disgusting

I grab my phone and look at the time 7:55pm

God can this year be over already.

Between moving away from George this year and now this??
I should have never listened to Nick.
The worst thing was that I didn't even like that damn kiss, I didn't feel anything!
Aren't boys supposed to enjoy that damn game, yet I feel disgusted by it.
Why did it just feel unnatural.....

A picture of George popped into my head,
why?

buzz

George

George
Happy new year, thanks for everything

Clay
Almost forgot about time zones ,
Happy new year!
You're lucky your years already over

George
why did something happen??

Clay
No...
Just ready for a new start

I didn't want to tell him what happened.
I don't know why, but it made my heart hurt even thinking about telling him....
