You're gonna love this one. Lemme just tell you.
The infamous Christmas party.
Never in my entire life have I been more nervous for anything. Not the party itself, but a certain someone attending.
It was December 3rd and Tom and I were at my house decorating the tree.
My parents travel a lot so I basically take care of myself. Ella's around a lot which makes me feel less lonely but with Tom here it makes me feel like I have a big brother.
Paddy, Sam, and Harry were all scheduled to arrive in a few hours and I was beyond excited.
Paddy and I had become super close in the past few months. It's getting harder and harder to imagine my life without him.
'Still off limits' I reminded myself as I put another ornament on the tree.
Tom said something that didn't register in my mind.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hm?" I said.
"I asked if you had another red one"
"Oh yeah" I responded and handed him the ornament.
"You've been in a daze all day, what's up?"
"Nothing," I responded quickly.
"Popular answer" he said sarcastically.
"I guess I'm just nervous for the Christmas party" I lied.
Was I nervous? Yes. But not because of the party.

A few hours later I got a text from Paddy.

PADDY'S POV:
As I sat in the back of our rental car I became more and more restless. I just wanted to see her.
'Toms best friend, two years younger, and lives 3000 miles away. Totally off limits' I reminded myself.
I just couldn't help it. She was incredible.
We finally reached her building and I practically ran to the elevator.
We knocked on her door and heard a squeal. Harry and Sam laughed but I was too focused on the person the squeal came from.
She opened the doors and ran straight into my arms.
I held her there for a second, reminding myself she's real, and not just a figment of my imagination.
I let her go and she hugged both Sam and Harry while I embraced Tom.
Geez, I missed those two.
We went inside and helped decorate for the rest of the day.
The next day the five of us walked around New York City, sightseeing and exploring.
We walked by the different shops with the window displays and it even started snowing,
Y/n loved it. Her face spread into a huge grin and she started trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue.
Tom immediately did the same.
