N.Y.E






And the music blasted but it was already so loud I didn't think I could even hear the lyrics to the songs. New York City , a foreign not so foreign environment that I found myself in every New Years. It was a tradition of sorts

The city was lit and vibrant,one could feel the excitement that buzzed through the atmosphere. Adrenaline pumped through my veins as the excitement of a new year began to manifest me. A new year,a not so new me, I didn't believe in that bullshit.There was no time to slow down and start fresh again, there was only room for improvement and perfection.

We were dancing at one of the most exclusive and elite rooftop clubs. Ellie had managed to book it out for our New Years Eve Party so pretty much all of our school was here.The music was the great and the alcohol was better, we were living out best lives in our best outfits taking advantage of our wealth. It was a convince after all.

"Is that my Valentine" Oliver whispered in my ear as he wrapped his arms around me. He's breath was lightly scented with spirits and he gently rested his head on mine "How many minutes until New Years"  he ask and I can't help but giggle. The words left him perfectly but I could tell he was focusing hard on not slurring.He had drank too much but just enough to know he had almost breached his limits.His hands found mine and we swayed together gently on the edge,looking over the city.

"Why not check your watch" It was a warm night , but I couldn't tell if it was because of the alcohol that ran in my system or if the weather was actually warm ... then again, it was winter after all.

Oliver chuckled lightly as he brings his wrist in front of us "Two minutes"

Looking down on the city , you could see the streets filled with people , Time Square in particular , everybody filled with suspense, adrenaline and some form of alcoholic beverage waiting to start a new year, a new chapter, in the same book.

"Fuck ,I love you" Olly says as he kisses the top of my head. I held onto his arms as we swayed enjoying the view together.This is how I wanted to start my news year. With the love of my life beside me.

"I love you too" I answered gently, I wasn't  as  drunk as him though, I had this theory that the New Years party only started on the new year i.e Midnight.

The countdowns commenced and I could feel Olly's grip tighten on me as we got closer to the stroke of midnight.

"5,4,3,2,1,Happy -" the crowds and party shouted,  the ball dropped and fireworks went off. The sky was filled with electric lights my lips were plastered on Olly's while the colors bounced off our faces.

And that's when the party started.
