Hopelessly Devoted

[46] - New Year, New Memories

I finished clipping my hoop earrings in and heard the doorbell ring. I rushed downstairs to open it, and swung it open.

"My girls!" I cheered as I waved up my arms.

They all ran in and suffocated me with hugs and screams. They then broke away and placed the food they brought on the table.

I invited all my friends over, as well as Ethan's family for New Years, because I wanted all these people to be in my new year. Andrea and Liam were even coming, too.

"Thanks for bringing food," I huffed as I sat on a chair, "Dylan's fat ass ate most our food over the last few days and we couldn't go out shopping."

"Relatable," Sasha chuckled as she went to greet my parents.

"So good to see you girls again," my mom smiled and hugged them individually. They then greeted my dad who was getting ready to make the barbecue. Maya and Dylan came down all dressed up and the girls ran towards Maya.

"By the way," Sasha turned to Dylan who was on his phone, "Alyssa should be here soon." He nodded and waited by the door.

We all sat in the open family room, waiting for doorbells to ring. I then heard it, and got up to answer.

"Hey!" Andrea smiled widely as she bear hugged me. I smiled when I saw her, I'm so happy she lives here now.

"I'm so glad you guys came," I smiled as I hugged Liam, then my aunt and finally my uncle. I invited them all in, and took Liam and Andrea to my friends.

"Guys," I got their attention and their heads turned to us with smiles, "these are my cousins, Andrea and Liam." I pointed to each and the girls shot up and bombarded them with hellos and questions.

I laughed as I watched, and went to answer the door again as the bell had rung.

"Hi," I said cheery as I hugged Kian. He returned the hug with a goofy smile and I welcomed him in. I took the food off him and placed it on the table.

"They're all in the family room," I pointed and he raised an eyebrow at me and I knew what he meant, "yes, Andrea is here." I chuckled and he smiled wide.

"Thank you," he winked and walked off.

"You look cute," Maya said as she walked to me.

"You look cuter," I smirked and she did a little twirl.

We laughed, and then she joined Dylan by the door, probably waiting for her friends too. We invited a lot of people here, and I couldn't be happier with how we were going to spend New Years.

I heard the doorbell, again, and I walked over to it. I swung it open and was greeted by Ethan and his family.

"Hey!" I chirped as I hugged Lisa tightly.

"You look gorgeous," she smiled and I welcomed her in.

"Good evening, Elena," Shawn smiled and I shook his hand. He walked in with Lisa and I watched as they went over to my parents.

"Hi," I smiled at the two dopey boys standing on my porch. Grayson walked up and hugged me while Ethan just stared at me with a wide smile.

"Madison, come get yo mans," I yelled and heard her running over. Grayson walked inside and I turned to Ethan.

"Why're you staring at me like that," I chuckled nervously and held out my hand so he could come in.

"Because every time I look at you, I still can't believe you're mine." He smiled and kissed my cheek, making me blush.
