New Year's Eve

A/N: Wishing you all the very best for 2025 😊 x

Summary: It's New Year's Eve. You and your best friend sneak into a celebrity party. She'd promised you an unforgettable night and she came through spectacularly. Both of you parting and drinking with the people you'd only dreamed of meeting, including your crush Tom Hiddleston.

------------------------------

The guard on door duty stood like a broad ox, equipped with an earpiece, a clipboard in his big beefy hands and dark shades covering his beady little eyes, despite the dark shades everyone could still feel him staring down at them. His tough guy persona wasn't an act, he took his work extremely seriously, not even the most gorgeous of women or handsomest of men could turn his head easily, nor did a petty bribe could get you in without being on the guest list. He'd merely keep the cash and send people on their way. So if you weren't on the list you weren't getting in no matter what. However no brick house of a man was going to keep your best friend from trying to get in, regardless of the fact neither of you were on the list. She'd promised you an unforgettable New Years, along with her unwavering determination and also with her crafty mindset, you knew she'd find a way into the party one way or another.

Instead of trying your luck with the guard your friend walked on by the venue with her arm linked with your own, walking by like a strutting show horse in her stilettos and shiny black cocktail dress. You followed her lead, although your elegance wasn't quite as impressive as her own, but you kept your head held high knowing you still looked amazing in your burgundy bodycon pencil skirt dress, with thigh high slit and high heels to boot. Once past the front of the venue you were dragged along faster then dragged into a small record store around the corner. Your expression fell into one of confusion, as you waved through the store of record stacks and poster plastered walls of various bands and other musicians, heading towards the checkout counter. A far cry difference than you imagined to be your night out.

"Fireworks." Your bestie says to the long haired boy behind the counter. You both received a lingering once over from the boy, who very much seemed the typical looking kid who was a hanger on to the 70's rock scene, both in appearance and a laid back stoner attitude.

After the boy had finished looking you both over he rounded the checkout counter and ushered the pair of you to follow him. Still trusting your bestie you followed the boy towards the back of the store, where he unlocked the bolted door with a Rollingstone's poster stuck up on its chipped paint job, once the door was opened it overlooked some back alleyway. Again following the boy you left the store and walked down the darkened alleyway which was only lit by the torch on his phone to guide the way. The journey wasn't a long one, yet you were very curious to find out how this was going to affect your night. Especially as the young boy seemed to bypass security guards without them batting an eyelid or them throwing fists at him, surprisingly. It only dawned on you what the boy did for you both as soon as you saw the main room of the venue lit like a nightclub, decked out in New Year's decor and filled with the most rich and famous people in the world. He'd literally gotten you into the most elite party of your lives despite lacking an invite or the status to be in the same room.

"How the hell..." you began to ask your bestie, once the boy had left you to your own devices, but she'd put her hand over your mouth to shut you up.

"Don't ask questions, I promised an unforgettable night and I don't plan to break it." She says with a mischievous grin and a look in her eyes to match. You don't know how she does it, but there's something about her that always leads you into the most unlikely scenarios, on the other hand what you do know is that no matter what it is you are always left with amazing stories and a trunk full of memories. Tonight gave you a feeling that this wouldn't be any different than all the other times you ended up in these crazy but spectacular situations.
