Drunken New Year

Our times of peace and happiness didn't last long, even our New Year celebration didn't pass very well, it was actually quite boring, we rented an apartment for small money and bought a few packs of firecrackers and some fireworks, along with some bottles of alcohol of course. I celebrated with Rosalie, Harry, Freddy, Tony and Percy, it wasn't bad, but still it wasn't very good, we had seen Tom, Trixie, Ian, Marty and some friend of Tom's in the supermarket when we were buying everything, Tom and Trixie were looking at me with that horrifying view and had that treacherous smile full of disdain, although Trixie came to greet Rosalie and I shook hands with Ian and Marty while Tom just said hi and gave a hand to everyone except Rosalie and me. I felt really disturbed as Tom and Trixie were so near to me and I couldn't wait for them to continue their way. I didn't care where would they go, neither did I want any further meetings with them. As Harry knew about our fight the other day, he asked me what was that all about and so as I explained, he actually agreed with me and so did Tony, although he wasn't only against Trixie in our company, he was also against Rosalie, but neither of them had anything against Tom, I told them that I didn't have anything against him too, but that I saw what he had changed into when I faced him because of his change of behaviour, he literally attacked me and told me to «fuck off» from his life. Percy stood there neutral as always and didn't leave a comment on absolutely anything, it was a very clever move, that guy will probably never have any problems in his life while Freddy told me that he wasn't on anyone's side, he said that I was his friend just as much as Tom, I guess I couldn't say anything against his opinion since it was quite reasonable. On the other hand, I wanted to know Ian and Marty's opinion on this situation since they were both mine and Tom's friends, but then again, they were with them, so they probably poisoned their minds with «trash» about me, especially Ian's mind, he was a nice guy, but then again, a guy with a very variable personality, he could be your friend and a foe at the same time because of his spitfire nature. Furthermore, there is Marty who is, as I had already said before, a student of law, he should know when people are lying and he should listen to both stories before judging, moreover, he was a friend of mine and Rosalie considered him a «gay friend» metaphorically speaking of course, which means she had trust in him, he was a very calm person, always ready to listen and help somebody, even though he was a very boring guy in my opinion and I didn't really care if he would trust me or not. I guess he has no better opinion about me than I have about him. I know that I will never get in physical conflict with him, but I couldn't say the same thing about Tom, I sensed that one day, no matter what happens, Tom and I are going to have a physical clash because my company is closely connected with him and I practically couldn't avoid Tom except to part ways with everyone, which is a bit of a drastic measure of course, but everything was so complicated, for example, Rosalie's friendship with Trixie, although she wasn't really in bad relations with Tom either, which would surely result fatally for me, also, nobody was in a fight with Tom. Harry, Percy, Freddy, Tony, Marty, Ian, everyone was good as with me, so with him, although Harry and Percy were always more on my side than on his and Rosalie of course, was always on my side, she promised to be on my side forever, despite of our relationship being so short at that time. As for our New Year, we all ended up drunk and then loitered like that through the town and somehow managed to get home in the end, we didn't even fire all of our firecrackers and we lighted only two boxes of fireworks. Since it was New Year, even Percy got drunk, I found that out as I woke up next morning, I wasn't aware of anything that had happened while we were in town so I called Harry and I couldn't believe my ears, it seems that that night I had come home without my jacket, I was running away from the imaginary police that wasn't even there, Rosalie was so mad at me and it appears that we had met with Tom, Trixie, Ian and Marty in the town and Tom was making fun of me, but apparently, he was also drunk, which had angered me and we almost had a fight, Harry, Ian and Tony had stopped us, it seems that everyone was drunk, but only I lost all my memory, it was surely because of that absinth. I hate that drink, but I wanted to get drunk to forget about everything... Luckily, I managed to reconcile with Rosalie pretty fast that morning because I didn't want to fight with her and I just wanted to have fun a little bit. However, now I am convinced that Tom is looking forward to a fight with me.
