"I found a picture that we took when brought in the new year,
It's hard to see but I remember.
You wore a cocktail dress ignored the goosebumps on your neck
The namesake of your outfit to keep you warm.
I hope you're alright, and I'm sorry that I wasted your time,
Never had the intention to make you go."

New Year's eve 4 years ago

"You sure you don't want to just spend New Year's Eve alone? Just the two of us?" I try and persuade her one more time, knowing that she'll probably give me the same answer she's been giving me for a week. The scuff and raised eyebrow that meets me in the mirror of her vanity only proves my point further. She's not budging. Sighing, I prop myself up from her bed and scoot towards the end, placing my head in the crook of her neck as she continues to brush her eyelashes with mascara. "C'mon Strawberry, why don't you wanna spend our first New Year's Eve alone together? We can get drunk on the champagne all by ourselves, put on some sexy music, take off these clothes, and dance around naked with the curtains open," I breathe into her neck, letting my lips drag across her pale skin, nipping and licking a trail as I go.

She gasps and rolls her head back against my shoulder, making me think that she's finally given in and we don't have to be cooped up with her friends in her apartment for hours. I smirk against her collarbone as I count this as a win, wrapping my arms around the front of her as she flutters her eyes shut. Before I can cup her breast with my palm, she sits up and lets out a small laugh, playfully pushing me away.

"How many times have I told you that I want you to meet my friends? Lighten up, Muffin I just want everyone to meet the most special person in my life," she props her elbows back on the vanity before running a brush against her cheek. "Besides we've been dating for a few months now, I think it's time for everyone to officially meet you," she says while pursing her lips and applying a red shade to her skin.

I roll my eyes indistinctively before laying back against her mattress, letting out a deep breath and keeping my gaze set on her bedroom ceiling. There's nothing that I hate more than meeting new people, let alone having most of the attention on me. Natalia's been begging for me to finally meet her friends and in the past, I've come up with excuse after excuse to try and get out of it, but once she got the idea of a New Year's Eve party at her apartment, there was no way I was getting out of it without becoming single in the end.

I don't get why she wants me to meet them so bad, it's not like she's ever met Liam, Louis, and Zayn. Granite they're back in England but either way, I don't get the point of it. The buzz of her doorbell sends a sickening feeling to my stomach as I begin to prepare for the worst. I mean I guess that the worst that could happen would be that all of Natalia's friends hate me, but that's something I think I can handle. I don't really give a fuck about her friends or what they think, I just wanna drink some alcohol, smoke a bit, and do a line before I climb over Natalia and watch her face scrunch up with pleasure. That's my idea of a perfect New Year's Eve.
