As we were walki.g down the stairs Renee turns towards us.
"Listen up. There will be beer and wine and all the liqueur. If I see you even look that way I will send you to bed, got it? I'm not having more drunks then I need too. And your underage sooo. Anyway got it?"
We nod our heads yes before sliding into the party like we were here the whole time. After a few seconds I'm pulled away from Cata.
"Hello Bestie. Happy New Years Eve. There is someone I want you to meet. Mama! Pápa! Banga! Madre Ella es Snowflake. So niña yo hablo mucho."
They hug me and Lin starts to translate for me when I start to talk. I see from the side of my eyes his jaw drop.
"Holla. Lin es muy muy loco pero yo soy loco tambien. Mucho gracias Lin para introducing yo."
I see his parents grin before I'm whisked away Into a hug by V.
"Hello Snowflake. How come you didn't tell us that you spoke Spanish?"
I shrugged my shoulders and said,
"I never really spoke it much. But I have a degree in Spanish, French, and Japanese, because I did college online."
I see V's face go to confusion before I'm whisked away Into the dance floor. When I look to see who fought me a laugh.
"Oak what are you doing?"
Oak had stopped pulling me and pulled me into a slowdance.
"You were talking about college when your still in middle school."
"I took online schooling so really my age puts me in middle school but my mind is smarter then most college students."
I see his eyes flash in disbelief before covering them with happiness.
"Well then that's awesome. Now you will never know what it's like to get up at 4 in the morning to do homework. To bad for you."
I laughed and put my head on his shoulder. We swayed for a few beats before I heard Seb calling me.
"Snowy Snowy, come talky with meee!" Sed yelled grading my hand and pulling it. Picked him up and started to sway with him. Oak smiled and messed with his hair before going to talk with Daveed.
"So Sebby you ready for the new year?"
He nodded his head and put it on my shoulder. I knew he was falling asleep so I swayed for a little longer.
"You know Seb that your like my little brother, right? I never had a little brother before, i had a little sister, but not a brother. I'll make sure you'll be super safe no matter what. I love you Sebby." I smiled and held him close to my chest. When I saw that he was asleep, I walked over and put him an the couch in the green room. I walked out and found who I was looking for. I found the two of them having a fight about something. I walked over and was quickly pulled into the fight.
"Snow tell me if he's right or I'm right. He says that Maria Reynolds is not a whore while I think otherwise. What're your thoughts?"
Oh god. If one thing I know about these two are that Leslie wants the other person to see his point of View, while Cata won't change her mind.
Play it safe is the only rule here.
"Um I mean her husband did force her to go. But at the same time, she let him in all the other times, so."
They both processed this before nodding there heads.
"True that true that. That dress is very short Theodosia. Why are you wearing such a short dress?"
"Because Pippa made me wear it. No not made, forced me too. Cata is my witness." Cata laughed and rolled her eyes at me. Leslie shook his head and we went into a weird conversation on dresses. We must have talked for a good hour cause the next thing I know we were being called to the projecter.
"Ok people it's all most midnight any last words?" Lin said from the front. A few people yelled out for more champagne causing me and Cata to laugh. Why are people in love with champagne I will never know.
"Thank you all for being the best family in the world. And Cata thank you for always being the closest sister a girl could ask for. Now let's start to count!" I yelled hugging Cata from the side.
"20!"
"Hey Snow, I know I'm like your sister but-"
"19!"
"Wow they are really loud."
"18!"
I know I'm like your sister but maybe-"
"17!"
"Maybe we can be more then that?"
"16!"
"What do you mean more then that?"
"15!"
"What I mean is that you-"
"14!"
"Is that I am really-"
"13!"
"Why are they so loud?"
"12!"
"Anyway I'm really really-"
"11!"
"In love with you."
"10!"
I was in shock. Cata loved me. Me the one person that I wanted to love me loves me. 
"9!"
"I know it's strange us being-"
"8!"
"Like sisters but I swear-"
"8!"
"I'll make you happy."
"7!"
She spun me to face her. I noticed that our faces were very close.
"6!"
I felt our faces lean into each other.
"5!"
I felt our lips touch and instantly felt a spark.
"4!"
I grinned as we deepened the kiss.
"3!"
She tastes like sweets.
"2! 1! Happy New Year!"
We kissed for a little longer before breaking away. We stayed with our foreheads touching and breathing together. I grinned at her and muttered,
"About fucking time Cata. I've waited for that forever."
She smiled and shurrged her shoulders.
"Yo Lil Sis Happ- WAIT DID YOU JIST KISS CATA?! YOU DID! YES! YES! YES!"
Jazzy yelled while we blushed like tomatoes. We got awes and I was pulled into a hug by the cast. I said happy New Year to everyone and walked over to Leslie.
"Happy New Year Les.  it's 2017. For once I'm spending my new year happily. What about you? You happy?" He grinned and nodded his head.
"Of course I'm happy. I just don't want Cata to hurt you. If she does I'm gonna throw her in jail so fast that she'll never see it coming. I love you."
I grinned and wrapped him in a hug. We stayed like that till most people left. I saw Cata asleep on the couch next to to where Seb was. I smiled and helped pick up what I can. After a few minutes I was sent up to bed. I yawned and hugged Leslie.
"Good night dad. I'll see you in a few days. Love you."
I felt him go tense before hugging me super hard. I smiled and sunk into the hug. He let me go and I walked over to Renee. Everyone else had left.
"Hey Lil One whatcha still doing up. It's 2 in the morning."
"Just came to say good night."
She smiled and hugged me.
"Good night lil one. Love you."
"G'night mom. Love you too."
Infect her stiffen before hugging me tighter. I sunk into the hug and she let me go a few minutes later.
I walked over to Cata and tried to wake her. When that didn't work I took off my shoes, grabbed Thaynes blanket from his blessing room, and layed down next to Cata. I snuggled into her arms and said before falling asleep.
"Love you Cata."
