it was new year's eve and you were at trevor zegras's annual new year's eve party.

you were talking and drinking with some friends when you saw him looking at you from across the room.

jack hughes

you rolled your eyes at him, a smirk present on your face, then you looked away.

every new year's eve you and jack hooked up. this year, though, you weren't going to do anything with him.

you weren't going to talk to him then kiss him at midnight then eventually go off with him after 12 am and then fall asleep with him around 1 am.

or so you thought.

you were finishing up your chat with your friend when someone tapped you on the shoulder.

you already knew who it was without even looking.

you turned around.

"hi, jack." you said, breaking the first part of your promise.

"hey, n/n. five minutes until ball drop so i figured i'd make my way over to you." he informed.

"why?" you asked.

but you knew why, obviously. you just wanted to hear it from him so you could, in turn, tell him you weren't going to be doing anything with him ever again beside being just friends.

"because it's new year's eve and i'm always with you on new year's eve." he answered.

"i hate to tell you this, but that won't be happening this year. new year new me." she replied.

jack scoffed. "first of all, it's not even the new year yet and second of all, everyone says that and it's never true."

you sighed. "jack look, it's the same every year. we talk on and off throughout the year and then you see me at the party and we talk five minutes before midnight then kiss at the ball drop. then, you take me upstairs and we screw around until 1 am before passing out. then, you get up and leave the next morning and i don't hear from you for six months. it always ends the same and i don't want that. plus...z's looking pretty good tonight."

"z? seriously? he'll play you, y/n." jack said in return.

"well you play me too. i don't see how that's different." you shrugged.

"what...what if this year was different. what if it's a new year, new us?" jack raised his eyebrows.

at that point, everyone started counting down from 10.

10

you were silent amongst the yells.

"come on, y/n. i'm a mad of my word. i won't leave you this time. this can be the start of something new."

you looked down and sighed before looking back up again.

"happy new year!"

everyone started cheering, music played, and couples were kissing.

you shook your head.

"screw it."

you reached up and kissed jack on the lips. he cupped your cheeks and kissed you back.

and jack was right.

this was the start of something new.

AUTHORS NOTE
happy new year everyone!
