(Freya's POV)

I walk back into the crowd and spot Josh. I approach him and grab his hand. He smiles as he turns to me. "Where'd you go off to?"

"The bathroom." I smile. He nods as we look to the TV, where MTV was playing music. It was 23 minutes away from the new year. 2016... Wow.

"I'm gonna go get some drinks." Josh says and walks off. I nod and smile as I turn back to the TV. I turn around as Ethan starts a conversation with me, obviously drunk.

"Oh honny." I laugh as he wobbles over to Tobi. Tobi looks at me, then quickly away. I screech as arms wrap around my waist. I turn around to see Simon. He gives a small smile and leans.

"Hey. You are drunk as shit." I chuckle and he laughs.

"Mind a dance, my lady?" He asks. I laugh and nod. I follow him to the center, him stumbling a bit as he walks backwards. We get to the center where a ginger girl is grinding on Cal. He seems to enjoy it.

Simon and I dance, and he twirls me. I laugh as I crash into his chest. He looks me in the eyes and smiles. "You better get Josh. There's not much time left."

"Thank you, sir." I cursty. I smile as he turns around and bumps into Alva. I laugh at his drunk self as I walk to Josh. He gives a wide smile. "Did you see me dance?"

"Of course I did. Mind I have a dance?" He says and I nod as he puts down our drinks, grabbing my hand softly and leading me to the crowd.

(Alva's POV)

"God this is stupid!" Tobi screams as he storms out of the room. I sigh. We just argued for hell knows how long.

I run my fingers through my hair, then walk out to the hallway. I look to the main room and see Tobi chatting with a few people I don't know, and Freya's best friend, Amy. I go to the main room and watch a girl grind on Cal. My eyes will never forget the sight. Suddenly, I crash into someone.

"Oh fuck! I'm sorry!" Simon says. I look down to see my shoes and feet were wet from his drink. I sigh as his pants were a bit wet too. I looked at him to see he was drunk.

I sigh. "Come with me." I say and grab his hand. I walk him through the crowd, and into Ethan's bedroom. It was empty, so I dragged him into the bathroom. He groans as I start the sink water, to warm it up. Meanwhile, I take off my shoes. I sigh as I start to rub them with water. I hear shuffling.

"Alv." I hear Simon say. A new nickname from him... I finish washing my shoe, then turn around. I drop the shoe as I'm slammed to the wall. My still wet hands are grabbed with one hand and lay on the wall above my head. Simon inches closer to me. I close my eyes, feeling nothing. I open them, releasing a small breath of relief. A drunk Simon, was an aggressive Simon. Fighting back, would be a worse idea than kissing him and obeying.

He looks at me in the eyes, looking around my face. He looks down and lets go of my wrist. They drop and I catch them, rubbing my right hand, which was pressed between my left and the wall. I wince and look at him. He sat on the ground by the door. He looks up at me. "I'm sorry."

I said nothing. I just went back to the sink. I grabbed my other shoe. I looked down at the sink and hear him stand up. I watch him from the mirror as he stands and looks at my face in the mirror. I continue doing what I was doing.

"I'm in love." He says. My heart stopped. I wished him to not say me...

"With who?" I mumble after silence. He looks at the ground, closing his eyes.

"A girl. But she doesn't love me back. I'm just a... man toy to her." He mumbles, brushing his fingers through his hair. "We had many one night stands-"

"Why are you telling me this?" I ask as I turn off the faucet, looking at him. He looks into my eyes, sadness filling them. He looks down as I instantly feel guilty.

"She's at this party. And I saw her." He mumbles, careful with his words. I stand where I am. Our eye contact is made through the mirror. "And she's with someone else."

I think back to everyone at the party. "Who?"

Simon bites his lip and nods his head at me, then looks to the door. "Cal."

(Tobi's POV)

I sigh as I look around. 4 minutes left, and sadly, Alva was nowhere to be seen. I felt guilty, and hated myself. What if she left?

She was nowhere in the crowd, so I walk around. I look inside the bedroom and see nothing. I walk down the hallway and hear moaning in the bathroom. Yup not there.

I knock on Ethan's bedroom door, hearing nothing. I walk in and look around. I look to see Alva. She looks out the window, and then to me. She stands by the window, barefoot. She looks at her bare feet. "Spilled on it."

"New Years is in 3 minutes." I say and she nods, looking up. "You going to join us?"

"Tobi, I'm sorry." She spits out. I look confused and she sighs. "I want you back."

"We were never over." I whisper. She nods. "Are you okay?"

She hugs me and I hug back, surprised. "Don't leave me, please. Stay with me."

"I always will." I say, holding her close to me. I pull away and she does too. I instantly lean in to kiss her but she pulls away instantly and jumps back. I look confused.

"Tobi?" I hear Simon's voice. He stood in the bathroom doorway, looking our way. My eyes widen as our eyes meet. His eyes widen as the door slams open. In comes Cal and some ginger girl.

"Oh hello!" Cal says, loudly. He looks at me and smiles, then looks to Alva. "Is this room taken?"

"Yes." Simon says. He looked angry as the couple turns to him. "Please get out."

"Oi whats wrong? Threesome?" The ginger girl smirks. Simon storms out, slamming the door. The girl flops on the bed and Cal looks at me.

"Mind getting out?" He says. I nod and walk to the door. Alva stays in her spot, and the two look at her, confused.

"You." Alva mumbles. "Slutty bitch-"

I run to her as she screams. "YOU HURT HIM!"

I hug her and push her away. She continues screaming and I face her away and kiss her, silencing her. She melts into the kiss, and puts her arms around my neck.

"TOBI!" I hear a scream. I turn around in surprise and my eyes meet his.

Josh.
