XXVI: Happy New Year!

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

It's 20 minutes until New Year and my friends and in Shawn's backyard waiting for the timer to time down. The boys just finished setting up the fireworks while the girls and I are talking about all the fun things that we have done in 2018.

"Hey (Y/N)," Shawn walks towards me. "can you help me get more beers, I think the guys are chugging them down too fast."

I glanced at the guys and see some of them running around like idiots as they spill the alcohol in their hands, some even playing beer pong.

"Yeah sure."

I get up and I follow Shawn into the house as we go to his kitchen. There were about 5 more boxes of beers beside his refrigerator.

"Can you carry one box?" he asks me as he carries one, ready to hand it over to me.

"Come on Shawn, you know I'm strong for a girl."

He chuckles as he hands a box over to me. "I know, I know, but be careful."

Shawn and I have been really good friends ever since we worked part time together at a cafe down by the street. Unfortunately for me, my feelings towards him has been increasing ever since early last year and I just kept it to myself, scared that I would ruin the friendship I have with him.

So I've just been feeling hopeless ever since.

"You worry too much." I say as we both walk out with me carrying a box of beer while Shawn carries too.

"10 more minutes guys!" the guys shouted as others cheered.

"Let's just put them here." Shawn said and we placed the boxes next to the cooler filled with ice.

After that, Shawn and I just sat down by the pool, soaking our feet inside it. My heart races every time I'm just around him but I'm not going to let my nervousness ruin this moment with him.

"So, what's your new years resolution?" Shawn asks.

"Really? The typical new year question." I laugh. "It's not like mines going to happen anyway." I sigh.

"Oh really?" he raises an eyebrow at me. "What could it be then?"

I sigh again. "Probably find myself a boyfriend. I've been single for so long!"

"That might come true though."

"For it to come true, I need at least someone to actually like me."

"Oh come on, there could be thousands of guys that like you, you know."

"And yet, I'm still single." I sigh. "Anyways, what about you? What's your new year resolution?" I ask curiously.

"Probably ask my crush out." he says looking at the stars.

My heart sinks instantly. Shawn has been telling me that he's been having a crush on someone and the fact that I know it's not me and he'll finally have a girlfriend just made my heart sunk.

"Good idea though, you should probably man up." I say smiling and supporting him as a friend that wants him to be happy. "Who is she anyway? You've been keeping it a secret for quite sometime."

"Don't worry, she's at this party."

"Really?" I look around and my eyes wander at all the girls here, all way much prettier than I am.

"Yeah, I just don't know how to ask her out though." Shawn sighs as he kicks the water in the pool.

I should just move on from him, the most important thing is that he's happy. Then, eventually I can live with it as long as he's happy. "How about you just go up to her and kiss her when the timer strikes 12."

I glance at the timer. 1 more minute until 12. 1 more minute until I'll lose him forever.

"You know what, that's a pretty good idea." he stands up and extends a hand, offering to help me up.

I stand beside him and everyone starts to count down.

"5,

4,

3,

2,

1,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!"

Fireworks went off and everyone starts greeting and wishing each other a 'Happy New Year'. I walk towards the crowd but Shawn suddenly grabbed my hand and spin me around. He held me there, my eyes staring into his.

"Happy New Year (Y/N)" he grins before he leans down and kisses me! I can't believe what is happening right now. I just close my eyes and kiss him, not wanting this moment to end. Shawn pulls away. "I like you (Y/N), will you be my girlfriend?"

I couldn't believe it! He actually likes me!

"Yes!" I shouted as I wrap my arms around his neck and his arms wrap around my waist.

"Looks like we both got to fulfill our new year resolutions." he grins at me and he kisses me again.

We pulled away and we just enjoyed the beautiful fireworks that brighten up the night sky/

I look around the yard and smile as I see all of our friends cheering and just having fun whether they/re by the pool or just siting around.

2019 might be a good year for me. For us.

Happy New Year guys! I know it's late but I just want to say, may 2019 be a good year for each and everyone of you! <3
