Chapter 1
It was five minutes until the clock struck 12. As I sit with my family, wondering what the new year would bring.
Fortune?
Fame?
Success?
Love?
None of these, I knew, would ever happen; but I had to keep my hopes up. It would be the only way to survive yet another heart breaking, painful, cruel year. Just another year in the complicated, pathetic life of me, Allison Rose New.
....... .......
The sound of a cork popping pulled me out of my thoughts. I look at the clock and people are counting down.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone on the T.V. and in my household screamed.
"What's so happy about it?" I silently ask.
Next thing I knew I had a cold drink in my hand. I take a sip of the pinkish beverage. The delicious taste, the fizziness , and the bitterness all hit me at once. The alcohol didn't phase me. Why would it? It was only one cup of champagne.
But as I drank that one glass, all the memories of 2012 start flooding back.
All the joy, anger, loss, heartbreak, love and confusion. Every emotion hit me with each drink I took, and stayed in its place until I was done drinking. They then started to try to push themselves out from with in me; but I held them in, not wanting my family to see.
Suddenly, I'm pouring another glass of the pink beverage.
