Denial

Chapter 25

New Year's eve isn't as excited for me as it is for everyone else. Sure, I'm excited that it'll be the beginning of a new year, where you can start all over again and make everything better. It'll be the beginning of a new year, where you learn from your mistakes and have new goals to accomplish. I'm excited for 2015, however what I'm not excited is for tonight's celebration.

I'll have to spend New Year's at a stupid party Naomi invited me. I was going to say no this time, but my parents decided to leave me on this special night because they have plans with their friends. And Aasha was invited with her friend's family and they'll be out of town. So I'll have to stay with Naomi tonight and i have no other choice than to attend to this party.

So this explains why I'm currently laying on her bed, groaning at every outfit she is trying to pick for me.

"How about this one?" she asks, showing me a horrible black dress with glitter.

"Never" I answer. Naomi rolls her eyes and throws the dress on my face.

"Cheer up!"

"I won't cheer up, I don't want to go to this party" I groan, removing the dress from my face. "Why do we have to go anyways? You hate everyone in school, as much as i do!"

"It'll be fun! Besides, Liam will be there he actually agreed to go to a high school party. And you won't be left alone, we'll even find you someone hot you can make out with!"

"I'm dating Niall, I won't kiss anyone who isn't him" I say, now it is my turn to roll my eyes.

"Right, totally forgot about that! When is he coming back from Ireland?"

"I've got no idea" I sigh, "see? I shouldn't go to the party. You'll be with Liam and I don't want to be a third wheel. I should stay here instead"

"No way! You won't be left alone for New Year's eve, that is just depressing. You'll come with us to the party and we'll all have a great time!"

"Ugh" I groan, "I guess I don't have any other choice, do I?"

"No you don't" she smiles.

"Fine, now give me the silver dress, thats the only one I like."

Naomi smiles widely, and throws the beautiful dress at me. It is this sleeveless short dress in silver with jewel trimmed scoop neck and illusion panels. It has a deep V-open back, and I have to admit, it is very sexy. I wish Niall would be here tonight so he could see it. It'll surprise him though, he is used to seeing me always dressed up casually.

I take the dress and I begin to put it on. It is really tight, but it looks really good on me to be honest. I use a strapless bra with some pushup, to make my boobs look bigger since I don't have a lot. To match the dress, I put on some silver high heels.

Naomi does my hair as always, as she compliments how I look in that dress. For my hairstyle, she goes with a braided bun, which looks really good. She does my makeup as natural as possible, however she does put some eyeliner and some shadows in my eyes. Once done, she smiles proudly and takes a picture of me in her iphone.

She finishes getting ready too, and about an hour later, the door bell rings. We head downstairs, since Liam has arrived already, and Naomi opens the door. He embraces her in a warm hug and gives her a peck on the lips. I must admit it, I miss Niall so badly. I wish he could be here with me so we could spend New Year's together.

"Hey Shai, whats up?" asks Liam, giving me a small hug. "Haven't seen you in a while" he smiles.

"I know, you've probably missed your third wheel" I joke, and he chuckles slightly.
