Best Thing I Got 《 Janthony 》*ON HOLD*

Chapter 1

The anticipation built up with everyone. It was the last few minutes of 2016. 3 minutes more and 2017 is here. Jazzy leaned over the rooftop railing looking over the big screen that counted down the seconds. She was there with one of her good friends, Anthony. Who just couldn't help but stare at the girl who never failed to make her smile. He badly wanted to tell her, tell her how he felt about her, how he longed to call her his.

But tonight was the night. He had long prepared what he wanted to say or do, what gesture he should do, what words he should say. It was all set. He started to clear his throat, gathering all the confidence he can much get. He plastered a smile on his face, and stepped closer to Jazzy.

"Jas." He called out, enough for her to hear from all the loud music that boomed in max volume

She turned her attention to him, her face expressing wonder "Hm?"

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you." He said nervously, his eyes staring at hers with sincerity

"What is it?" She said, as everyone started to countdown the last 10 seconds

Anthony panicked, he better make it quick, but his words got stuck in his throat. He couldn't say what he wanted to.

Jazzy waited in anticipation, curious what he meant to say.

"5...4...3..."

"Jas I-"

Too late.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR"

The fireworks started to light the sky, Jazzy turned her attention to them and joined the others in watching it.

Anthony sighed, for he failed in his attempt. Again. But this time he had a back-up plan in mind.

"Anthony c'mon." Jazzy called him out to join them in the party

Anthony smiled making his way.

"Later." He thought to himself.

The Sun's rays began to peek, as it was set to rise, faded beams of light began to pass through curtains to the room of houses. 5 am, January 1st 2017. You wouldn't really expect anyone to be awake this early, especially since everyone was awake 'til 3 am, partying for the New Year. But there sat a Jasmine Cephas Jones by the balcony of a high rise apartment, cozied up in a blanket, sipping her hot cup of hot chocolate as she looked out to the semi-empty, yet still lit up, streets of New York. The apartment she lived in overlooked the cityscapes, which lit up so beautifully by dark, she loved sitting by that balcony just to get a glimpse of the lively lights of the city.

Jazzy didn't get to go home with her family for the New Year's, but she did for Christmas, for she had a few last minute shoots to do. Upset she didn't get to spend it with her family, she was cheered up to have spent it with her friends, specifically the Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton. The night was fun. Lin and Reneé brought their family along, few of the other cast brought their loved ones or even other friends. But most of Jazzy's New Year, she spent with Anthony. Anthony is a very good friend to Jazzy, some already assume they're secretly dating, but in all honesty they're not. Admittedly, Jazzy may sort of see him as more than a friend, something Pippa can totally see.

Jazzy sighed about her thoughts and feelings for the boy. She never felt so helpless about it, she laughs a bit, now she feels as if she's Eliza when she saw Alexander. She never thought they'd grow this close as well. Jazzy cares for him dearly, even when he's sick, Jas would come over and take care of him. They know each other the best, and when they're out and about in the city, fans just go crazy.
