Emma's POV

     I drove to my dad's house after Ethan left.
This was probably the best Christmas I had in a while.

     I wish Ethan was here. Yes, I know. That's a selfish thing to say since this is a family day. But I miss him.

     I stayed at my dad's for the morning and then went to my mom's after brunch. I was given clothes mostly and coffee grounds.

     The wheels of my car crushed the gravel as I pulled into my parking lot. I started looking at new apartments so what happened with Daniella didn't happen again.

     Plus, my apartment is just getting depressing at this point.

     I twisted my key in the door. I flopped onto my bed and immediately fell asleep.

     My phone buzzed. 3 am.

    Today 3:07 am

     Ethan: wanna come to Gray and I's New Year's Party? James is going. It's the perfect time to tell them about us.

     My eyes are basically closed as I start to type.

     Me: yeah, but are u ready to tell them?

     He starts to type and then stops. I put my phone done and close my eyes again.

     Buzz. Ugh.

     Ethan: who wouldn't why people to know they were with you?!

     I smile and put down my phone for the final time.

    Monday 12/31/18

    I woke up at 10 am. I ravaged through my closet. There was shirts and dresses and pants scattered everywhere.

     Eventually, I picked a gold, sequined crop top, black leather pants with rips and my Doc Martin's.

     I was so excited to see him. I know. I sound like a clingy ass girlfriend.

     My car started and I locked my door behind me. The whole car ride I was thinking about how we were going to tell Grayson and James.

"Hey Gray and James, Ethan and I have secretly been dating for the past week!"

"HI, did you know that me and Ethan made out a couple days ago?"

All bad, and could come to a shoe to the face.

Pulling into the twin's driveway, something pops under my car. Damn.

     I get out of my car to see my tire with a huge nail sticking out. What were they doing with nails?

I let out a sigh and strut to the twin's door, trying to seem confident.

Bursting into the twin's house, I immediately notice that there is literally thirty people here.

The twin's mom, dad (author's note: rest in peace :( <3 ), sister, and other friends I either know or haven't met at all.

I find Ethan at his couch watching the news. It was literally 10:39 am and he's watched the news?

I sat next to him and he swung his arm around my shoulders. There was other youtubers there with their cameras so I eyed him. He pouted and lifted his arm away from behind me.

We spent the next few hours joking and eating. I got to know his parents (who still don't know about us). And I made some new friends. I needed that.

Soon, it was 11:58 pm.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, staring at the TV.

11:59 pm.

Everyone screamed. "THIRTY, TWENTY NINE, TWENTY EIGHT," and so on.

     The final five second came.

      "FIVE."

      "FOUR."

      "THREE."

      "TWO."

      "ONE".

      "HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

     All of a sudden, Ethan grabs me around my waist, dips me and places a soft kiss on my lips. I close my eyes and enjoy the moment.

     We push away and I hug him.

     As I let go of him about two minutes later, I looked around. Everyone was staring. Wide eyes glared at both of us.

     But the attention went from us, to the loud door that opened. Someone runs through.

     "Hey Bitches!"
