Past, Present, No Future. (Harry Styles)

100. New Year New Me

The next few days I spent trying to regain my diurnal reputation.

I kept finding myself unable to sleep at night, and instead I'd snack on cookies and bagels in the dark whilst I read my book and leaned against the kitchen island.

When I finally got my sleeping schedule back in order, I slept with the windows open. Not because I liked the view or liked the sun shining through in the morning. I just liked the feeling of there being a world apart from my own, and being a part of it.

But then, because of the cold UK winter weather I'd wake up freezing so I had to make the sad decision to just keep the curtains open instead.

I'd be returning to work after the new year, making today and tomorrow my days off.

I spent my day trying to finds cons to going to Niall's New Year's party, but so far I've only came up with one which drowned in the sea of pros.

Cons:
They're all Harry's friends

Pros:
They're my friends too
Louis would join me
It gives me something to do on New Years

And basically I've been looking for something to do after Australia since I've been bored and stuck in my house, with the company of Pepper of course.

It's not like I had to worry about running into Harry because I've heard he was staying in Cheshire for the past month or so. So there was genuinely now no reason for me not to go.

Now all I had to do was figure out what to wear, and today being New Years Eve I wouldn't have any luck with shopping.

I grabbed my phone from the end table and lay stomach down in the bed, dialing Gen's number. It took a few rings before she answered.

"Hello?"

"I have an emergency" I told her, hearing background noise from where she was, "But you seem busy"

"No no, I'm...just playing music nothing big. What's the emergency?"

"Oh, well I have nothing to wear tonight" I explained, lying back on the bed with my legs hanging over the edge and Pepper lick at my toes.

I heard a door close through the phone and Gen's voice echo, "You're going?"

"Yeah, I thought you wanted me too? Remember, Lou and I were going together"

"Oh yeah yeah, I remember" she giggled, again the noises she was making echoing.

"So I need your help with my wardrobe. Where are you?" I finally asked, hearing the muffled music get louder.

"I'm at Zayn's place, I was helping him out for tonight as well" she explained, "I'll be over as soon as I can, I'll bring some of my clothes I think you'll like" she said rather loudly over the music.

"Okay" I felt obligated to yell as well, having her giggle.

I hung up the phone, bringing Pepper in my arms and taking him downstairs for his feeding.

When Gen said she'd come as soon as possible I didn't expect her to come that soon. I was only a few minutes into a show I was watching when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Sorry I'm late" she breathed out making me laugh, "But I got dresses I think you'll like, nothing flashy and plenty comfortable" she smiled cheekily.

"Perfect" I beamed, letting her inside of the house.

We settled in a black flowy dress along with a pair of black heels Gen insisted on letting me have since I lost my own pair.

Gen sadly had to leave faster than I had hoped saying she herself had to get ready since it was getting closer and closer to the night.
