“5…4...3...2...1” The whole room yelled together.

“Happy New Ye-“I was cut off by a pair of lips smashing into mine.

I looked up to see Jamie. What is going on?! I hesitated for a moment before closing my eyes and kissing him back. It was over in a few seconds but it felt like minutes. I reopened my eyes after he pulled away, to see him smiling at me. I didn’t know what to say, so instead I ran. I ran until I couldn’t run any farther. I wasn’t sure if anyone seen what happened or seen me run but at that moment I didn’t care. I just had to get away. I looked around at my surroundings, not having a clue at where I ran to. I stood in that spot for about a half an hour before I decided to go back; knowing they would realize I was gone by now.  

**^**

                “Where the hell did you go?” My dad asked as soon as I walked back in the studio’s lounge. “One minute you’re standing next to Jamie and then you’re gone!” Guess he didn’t see that kiss then, thankfully.

                “Sorry, I felt a little hot so I went for a walk and got lost so I had to find my way back” I wasn’t lying what so ever, I just left out a little, well huge, detail.

                I looked around the room and Jamie had also disappeared, did he leave when I left? We were all a little tipsy, but I knew everything that had happened since the start of the day. Jamie on the other hand, I'm not so sure.

                “Oh ok. I was just worried. Don’t leave like that again by yourself!” My dad scolded me.

                “Ok, do you know where Jamie went?” I wasn’t worried about what he had to say, in fact I'm not really sure what he said.

                “He left soon after the count down, he said he told you good bye?” My dad responded a confused look on his face. 

<If you call a kiss saying good bye then yeah I guess he did!>

                “Oh yeah I…um just didn’t realize he was going to leave the party I thought he meant…uh…2012” I tried to cover up, failing miserably at doing so. “I'm going to head back to the hotel. I'm getting tired plus we have to get up early tomorrow to head back home.”  

                “Ok, well make sure to stop by before you head out! Dave and I want to send you home with some gifts since you couldn’t make it up here for Christmas.” My dad said while hugging me.

                “Yeah, that’s fine. Will you guys be up by 5?” I asked, knowing Lacey and I would need to at the train station by 6.

                “For our girls well of course!” He said with a deep laugh, letting go of me.

                “See you in the morning then!” I said while heading towards the door and back down the short hall to the entrance of the studio.

                I opened up the door to a cold breeze rushing across my face making me shiver a little. The hotel we stayed at this time was closer to the studio, a few blocks away in fact, making it easy to walk to and from. I was left with my thoughts, seeing as Lacey stayed at the hotel since she didn’t feel well, on my short walk back.

<Why did he kiss me?> <Why did I like it even more?!> These and many other thoughts flooded my mind making a migraine appear quickly.

“Happy New Years, Miss Wixom” Someone said as I walked into the hotel.
