Finding My Heart(Under Editing)

Chapter 22 | A Big Fight

Tonight was new years eve. I was in the store with my mom and we were getting sparkling grape juice, red and white. There wasn't much left but we managed to get some crackers and cheese balls, and some of that special sausage that you have on new year's. We also found some poppers and sparklers to celebrate the new year. My mom doesn't have a party for new years but we got a few decorations because I was inviting Samantha, Jeremiah, and Liam(Liam begged that he was invited) so we could celebrate together. This used to be a thing that my mom would do with Jeremiah's mom and their friends because they were best friends.

After we got the new years necessities, we went home to get ready. We decided to decorate the house with blue, white, and black steamers. We also put over a blue plastic tablecloth for the food.

It was around 7pm when we finished so we went out and got Chick Fil A because that is always good. Of course my brother had to be stubborn and wanted us to get Mc Donald's for him.

We happened to see my friend Jen, who was working at the Mc Donald's we went to. It would suck to work on New Years Eve. Especially the evening shift. We got home and I went to my room to change into a black, mid-thigh dress that had star designs like the big dipper and such. At the top it was tight and it showed off the shape of my waist. The bottom flowed out and was fun to spin in.

I did a blueish white and sparkly eyeshadow with eyeliner and that was pretty much it. I dusted off the front of my dress to make it smooth and then I walked down stairs.

"Looking good hun." My mom gave me a kiss on the top of my head.

"Where are you headed mom?" I was very confused because she was in her work clothes.

"A call in last minute, they're short on staff tonight and they want people there for any car accidents there might be because everyone is gonna get drunk tonight. I mean, not you or your friends, but other people." She tried to give Cam a hug and kiss but he would only let her give him a side hug. She rolled her eyes.

"I love y'all, I'll be home late tonight, see you two later."

"Bye mom." The two of us said in unison. When she walked out the door, I sighed in disappointment. I was about to walk away from the door but my brother decided to be annoying. He started poking my stomach. I shot him a death glare. I was going to walk to the living room but before I had the chance, Cameron walked in front of me and didn't let me pass him.

"Cameron, you are really asking for it, aren't you?" I saw a ping of fear in his eyes and face. Despite my scare, he continued his shenanigans. "Okay, I warned you." I started to tickle him and he started squirming like a worm.

"Please stop, can't breathe." I had to stop because he has asthma. "Just kidding!" He started to tickle me instead.

"Hey, you little crook." I let out breathless because of all of my laughing. "Stop, enough." I slapped the back of his head.

"Ow." He let out in a little murmur.

"That's what ya get. Let's finish setting up." He nodded and we set up.

We finally finished setting up and it was around 8:45 pm. I heard a ring from the doorbell and hurried to the front door. When I opened it, I was squeezed to death by Samantha.

"I have missed you girly. I feel like we barely talk now with the whole dating thing." She gave me another squeeze and walked inside. She put her coat on the couch and straightened out her dress. "You look soooooo cuuuute girly." Samantha exclaimed.

"You too, Sam." Samantha had a sparkly and pink dress and some light, matching makeup. Soon after, Jeremiah arrived with Liam. Jeremiah was wearing a tight fitting plain white shirt and some black skinny jeans, looking like his good self as usual. Liam was wearing a snapback hat with the mesh back in the front, some dark blue jeans, and a dark band t-shirt. I'd have to admit, he was looking pretty good too.
