Twenty-Six

New Years Eve was here faster than I could have imagined. Today was the day, I was currently in my closet trying to find the perfect outfit. Gemma set me up on a blind date and I set her up on one as well. I was really nervous. I haven't been on a real date in forever.

I ended up settling for a black romper I had in the back of my closet. It was an outfit I bought when I was in fashion school and I never really wore it. I guess today was the day, though. I put my hair in a low bun and then started searching for my nude heels.

"What's all the racket in here?" Louis groans while walking into my room. "Honey it is a mess in here," he tells me while scanning my room. I continued to throw anything and everything on the floor to find these heels. "Also, I can see your ass. It's like hanging out," I let out a groan. "I can't find my nude heels. Where are they?" I say looking Louis dead in the eyes.

"Are we just not gonna talk about if you bend over your ass is out?" I glare at him. "I'll take that as a no. They might be in the guest closet. You let Lottie barrow them remember?" It had clicked. I shoved past Louis and went to the guest closet. There they were, on the ground. I sat on the guest bed and put them on.

"I'll have you know I have a date tonight!" I announce to Louis. "And showing off your ass is going to help?" "It's a nice outfit. Besides, I'm not going to be bending over like I was in my room. I am a classy lady," Louis rolls his eyes. "He is gonna wanna have sex with you."

"It's just a date, I look fine." Then I started second guessing myself. I stood up and looked in the mirror. "Do I look like a slut? Should I change?" I started freaking out while Louis tried not to laugh.

"You asshole!" I shout hitting him. "You did that on purpose because you know I'm nervous." Louis couldn't contain his laughter. "I'm sorry I couldn't help it," he says in between laughter.

"I'm breaking up with you, Louis!" I tell him. "It's alright, I already have my side piece getting ready now." He says with a wink. I take the pillow off the guest bed and start hitting him.

"Enough! I need my man to look his best, you messing up his hair is not helping!" Noah says interrupting our fight. Louis sticks his tongue out and I hit him once more.

About a couple hours later we are heading to Noah's parents house. Louis' family was at the airport now and Noah had a limo pick them up. It is packed when we arrive. I immediately spot Niall when I step out of the car and I run up to hug him.

"Niall!" I shout. "Mary!" Niall shouts back. I hear a cough and I pull away to see a beautiful lady there. "You must be Isabella, Niall's girl!" I squeal, I give her a hug as well. "And you are?" She questions. "This is that girl, Mary, I was telling you about." Niall interrupts. It takes Isabella a second before it clicks. "Right! I am so sorry! I was probably just a bitch then, I thought you were some girl hitting on my man!" She tells me. "It is all right! I would do the same." I tell her laughing it off. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around to see Aaron, my coworker. "Hey Mary!" He says. "Aaron, how are you?" I ask him.

"Honestly, I am kinda nervous. Is Gemma here?" I scan the place to see if I see her. "Not yet, I'll give her a call. Don't worry! You will love her!" I tell him. I step away for a second and send Gemma a text asking where she was. Suddenly I see Noah with Gemma and another guy walking towards me.

"She got lost," Noah tells me. My heart started to beat faster. The guy was not bad looking. "Gemma!" I say giving her a big hug. I motion Aaron to come over to where we were. "Mary, this is Ashton." She says wiggling her eyebrows.

"Gemma, this is Aaron!" They shake hands and I still could not take my eyes off Ashton. "You look beautiful," he tells me. I suddenly got so insecure, I looked at the ground. Why was I so nervous? I was so confident around Harry. Why was this different? "Could I get you a drink?" He asks me, getting closer. "Please?" I sounded unsure of myself.

A couple hours later I was already tipsy, I had drank a bit to much. Ashton and I both danced upon each other and I kept getting more drinks. The music was loud and I felt like it was just Harry and I.

Wait....

Harry?

I closed my eyes for a second and reopen to see Ashton. "I need another drink," I slur. I couldn't believe I had mistaken Ashton for Harry. Harry, that asshole.

I got another drink and downed it pretty quickly. I suddenly feel someone pull me. "It's almost time!" I look around to see Niall and Isabella near by. I was also next to Louis, Noah, Gemma, Aaron, and Ashton.

"Ten!"

Everyone was shouting.

"Nine!"

My head was pounding.

"Eight!"

I wanted Harry.

"Seven!"

Why did he choose her?

"Six!"

Why didn't he want me?

"Five!"

I needed to move on.

"Four!"

I grabbed another shot.

"Three!"

I took that shot.

"Two!"

I turn to see Niall on one knee, he was doing it.

"One!"

Niall proposed.

"Happy New Year!"

I grabbed Ashton's face and kissed him. I felt nothing, nothing at all.

"I need to go," I tell him.

I ran, well I tried to at least, out of the house. I pull my phone out and called the person I shouldn't have.

"Mary?" His raspy voice says. "Happy New Year..." I tell him. I felt tears coming. "You are drunk." He states firmly. "And I am in love with you." I tell him pull on sobbing. There was a silent pause, "Go find Noah. You are drunk, Mary. Goodnight." And he hung up. I needed another drink.

I go stumbling inside to get another when Noah stops me, "That's enough for tonight! Let's go," I nod my head. I felt more tears coming.

Starting tomorrow, no more Harry. I couldn't do this to myself anymore.

I stayed up to write this chapter so I hope you guys enjoy it!!
