Your POV

I was preparing some food for later this evening. Our families and friends will come over so that we can celebrate New Year's Eve together.

Everyone will get her soon, and I still needed to get ready. Lauren and Camila were in the shower while I hurried to get the snacks done.

The alarm on my phone went off, signalling to me that I could take the pastry out of the oven. To cool off, I took them out and put them on a plate. It was now time to get myself ready.

I won't lie, I was stressed. The guest will be over in 20 minutes, and I still need to shower, get dressed, and do my make-up.

I ran upstairs, opening the door to the bathroom, to see Lauren and Camila still in the shower, making out.

'Seriously?! Your families will be here in twenty minutes, and I'm running around making sure everything is done by now, believing that when I get upstairs, you two will at least be done showering so that I could do that next.'

'Baby, calm down. We are almost done.

'Yes, Y/NN, come join us'

I was furious. Are they kidding me right now?

'No, I will not join you. Are you even listening to me? I said your families will be over soon.. and you want me to join you?'

I turned around. Storming out of the bathroom. I took the dress I wanted to put on and some underwear and went to the bathroom inside the guest room.

I was really angry at them. I don't know if I was overreacting, but I was running around all day preparing everything for tonight.

After the shower, I put my dress and makeup on. I was ready in record time and went back downstairs to serve the now-cooled-down pastry on the table.

Lauren and Camila came down soon after, while the doorbell rang at the same time. I made my way to open the door, not acknowledging either of them.

When I got to the door, I smiled at Ally, Troy, Dinah, and Mani.

'Hello, you all. Come on in'

They all said their hellos, and we exchanged a lot of hugs. We made our way to the living room, where Lauren and Camila were to greet our guest too. They started to talk and drink.

I went to the kitchen to clean up the mess I left behind.

'Everything alright?'

I turned around to see my best friend.

'Yeah, super good'

'What's wrong?'

She made her way over to me, taking the cloth out of my hands, and motioned for me to start talking.

'You know I'm running around like a crazy person the whole day to prepare everything. I was stressed the whole time and went upstairs to see them making out in the shower instead of getting ready. I had to shower in the guest room because it took too long, and I rushed everything. I don't even know how my make-up looks.

Ally took me into her arms.

'You look beautiful, and your makeup is too. Why didn't they help you?'

'I told them to do the decorating and then to go get ready, but I didn't expect them to take so long'

'Everything looks perfect outside. You did a great job. Now let me clean up this mess, and you go upstairs. Sit down a little and calm down. It's going to be a good night, and you need to relax a little bit before you pass out.'

'Ally I can't just go upstairs. Their families will be here any minute.

'You can and you will; they will understand and drink some water. I bet you didn't drink anything all day long.

'Okay, I will. Thank you'

I rolled my eyes because Ally knew me this well. I took a bottle of water with me and made my way upstairs. I went to my room, where I had a couch. This is my safe space, as we like to call it. If one of us needs time for ourselves, we have this room with things we love.'

I drank some water and laid down on the couch. I became aware of how tired I was, and I closed my eyes for a few minutes.

Ally's POV

I was angry at Lauren and Camila because of how they've treated Y/N today.

I was cleaning the kitchen when Camila came in.

'Oh Ally. What are you doing? Where is Y/N?'

'I'm cleaning up the kitchen'

'Why are you doing this? You're our guest'

'Well yeah, but I wanted to take some work off of Y/N shoulders. Did you not notice how stressed she was?'

'I thought that she was nervous about the party..'

'Camila, she was running around all day to make this evening perfect, and she was pretty angry that you two didn't seem to make an effort to help her'

Camila stood there with her gaze fixed on the floor.

'I guess we didn't notice'

I shook my head.

'Where is she now?'

'Upstairs. I told her to go relax a little.

'I'll go check on her'

'Don't. Let her rest. She will come downstairs when she feels better.

Camilla nodded. The doorbell rang, and she made her way to the door. I sighed. I was done cleaning the kitchen, so I made my way to the living room, where the others were sitting.

Camila's POV

Lauren and I were letting our families in. We said our hellos and shared some hugs. We moved to the other room.

'Where is Y/N?'

I turned to Clara.

'Oh, she's upstairs. She is resting a bit?'

'Why is everything okay?'

I nodded with a sad smile.

'It is, but she overworked herself and was stressed out the whole day'

Lauren looked at me with a concerned gaze.

'What?'

Clara looked at us, confused.

'I'm sorry, why would you let her overwork herself like this?'

'We didn't notice'

Clara looked at us with an angry face.

'How did you not notice? Why didn't you help her in the first place?

Lauren and I were looking down guilty. Clara was only shaking her head.

'You're both going upstairs now! You're going to apologise for being bad girlfriends and make sure she is alright. Pronto!'

'Si mami'

We made our way upstairs. I was walking to the bedroom, but Y/N wasn't there. We made our way to her room. I knocked lightly and opened the door. She was laying on the couch, sleeping peacefully.

We both stepped closer and sat down beside her. I stroked her back. She started to wake up. She rubbed her eyes and was slowly opening them. I smiled lightly because she was looking really cute right now.

I leaned towards her and gave her head a little kiss. She yawned and smiled a little.

'Hello baby'

'Hi'

Lauren took her hand in hers.

'Y/NN We are really sorry. We haven't noticed that you were so stressed out. We would have helped you if we knew. We were inconsiderate and should have noticed it.'

'Yes, we are sorry, baby'

I pounded my lips, hoping that she would accept our apology. Y/N smiled a little.

'It's okay. I could've told you and asked for help. I did overreact.'

'No, it was your right to be angry with us, but do you forgive us for being bad girlfriends?'

Y/N smiled now more.

'I do forgive you'

We all smiled, and I leaned in to place a kiss on Y/N's cheek. She held my head close and kissed me softly. I smiled into the kiss.

'Now let's go celebrate'

We all stood up. Y/N kissed Lauren, and we then made our way downstairs.

Your POV

I felt a lot better after the nap I had. Camila and Lauren apologised, and I know that Ally told them off. When we got downstairs, I was greeted with a lot of hugs and a very concerned Clara and Sinu. They were scolding both Lauren and Camila, and I was laughing lightly.

'It's okay. I forgave them, and I had a good rest. Now where is the music? Let's celebrate these last hours of this year.'

—
11:00:00

I wanted to make a toast.

'Now that there's only an hour left, I would like to say some words.'

Everyone gathered around.

'If someone had told me at the beginning of the year that I would stand here with not only Camila by my side but Lauren too... I guess I would not believe it. This last year gave me so much joy. I love spending time with you, Camila, and I'm really happy to have you in my life. And now we have another beautiful girlfriend with us. Lauren, you make our lives so much brighter without even trying because you filled a hole within us that we didn't even know there was. I hope our next year will be filled with much more adventure and happiness. To us and to our family'

Everyone cheered with me, and we had a blast laughing and dancing while waiting for the new year to begin.

11:50:00

Lauren and I were sitting on the couch watching our families and friends drink and have fun. Camila and Dinah were having shots, and we were both concerned about Camila's drunken state, but it was kind of funny. She was rushing towards us; her walk was a little bit off.

I became concerned by the look on her face.

'Camila, what's wrong?'

She was crying a little. Lauren sprung up and took Camila into her arms.

'Camz, what happened?'

'I -'

She stopped sobbing.

'Shh, baby, calm down'

Camila calmed down a little and I looked at Lauren with a concerned look.

'Can you tell us what happened?'

Camila nodded lightly.

'I just realised that I can't kiss you both'

Now I was confused.

'What?'

'The new year kiss. I can't kiss you both.'

I chuckled lightly.

'Cami, you will kiss us both, but one after the other'

'Yeah, but I can't decide who to kiss first'

I laughed out loud now.

'Don't laugh at me.'

Lauren only shook her head.

'You got me really worried. Camz, It doesn't matter who you kiss first.

'But I can't decide'

'I will decide for you. You will kiss Lauren first and then me, okay?'

Camila nodded lightly.

'You won't be upset.'

I chuckled.

'Of course not'

She now smiled too.

'Okay. Lo, you heard that?'

'Yeah'

Lauren laughed and let go of Camila, who ran to Dinah to tell her the now-new good news.

'She's such an idiot'

I was laughing.

'She is pretty drunk'

'Yeah. She will regret it in the morning.

I turned my head to look at Camila.

'As long as she's happy, I'm happy.

Lauren smiled a little.

'Me too'

'One minute'

We had the grapes ready to do the Cuban tradition of eating grapes with every passing second and wishing for something.

The time flew by, and we started shouting while eating the grapes and wishing for something.

'Eight'

'Six'

'Five'

'Three'

'Two'

'One'
A beautiful future with my girls

'Haaaaaappy New Year'

We were all shouting over each other. Lauren and Camila captured the happy moment with a kiss. When they broke apart, Camila came stumbling over to me and connected our lips.

'I love you'

'And I love you'

We pulled apart, and as I got closer to Lauren, I took her into my arms and leaned in for a passionate kiss. When we broke apart, I hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

'Happy new year, babe. I love you so much, and I'm happy to start this new year with you by my side.

'I love you, and I couldn't be happier'

We pulled apart and went to our families and friends. We shared a lot of hugs and drank some champagne before we all went outside to watch some fireworks.

I was standing in Lauren's and Camila's arms. I was smiling brightly while the colours were lighting up the sky.
