As simple as it can be

23. And a happy New Year

Millie's POV:

The New Years Eve came around, and we were back in New York. I was in my room doing nothing special. I was on my phone, scrolling through insta. Me and the others were supposed to go to a party in the dorm in a few hours. I had enough time to change and get ready for it.

Finn texted me, telling me the details and when we were supposed to meet and where. This was going to be the best New Years ever. I got to spend it with the best people. They have been the sweetest and so supportive to me and I appreciate each and every one of them so much.

I went on snapchat, because I got a notification from Finn. It was a picture of him in his suit. He looked very handsome. I chuckled and replied with a selfie of my not ready self. Then we talked a little more, and I decided it was time to start and prepare, because I did have a lot to do. I went into my closet to take the dress out and iron it a little bit. I was very lucky, because the dorm provided an ironing table and an iron, so I had everything. YAY!

After I finished that, I went into the shower, washing my hair, as well. I decided on a hairstyle I saw on pinterest and liked, and it was pretty simple to do myself. I dried it, and before I started doing the actual hairstyle, I decided to put on my makeup. I was left alone in my room, because Sadie and Mary went to get ready with the other girls. I wanted to not be bothered when I prepared, because it was way simpler to just do it alone. And I was pretty good at makeup, so that wasn't a problem.

I decided on doing something a little extra, because it was a special occasion. I did a cut crease, using some red shades and glitter. I even did an winged eyeliner, which was a very rare thing to see on me, because I considered it very difficult. But I did it eventually. I put on red lipstick, which looked amazing on me. It went really well with my hair color and, of course, my dress. Talking about my dress, it was a long red dress with sequins that had a cut on the right leg. It was very out of my comfort zone, but I was willing to make that sacrifice.

Me and Finn decided to be that cute couple that matches for this, so he had a completely black suit with a red tie.

After I was finally done with my killer makeup, I looked snatched. I was truly proud of my work. After, I took my dress on, which was a little struggle, but I managed to do it. It was time to do my hair, and I started. I had to take a section first out of the front of my hair, then I curled the ends of my hair, then I took another chunk of hair and did a small ponytail on the top, then fixed the front section and pinned it down to look some type of bangs and I was all done. I liked it a lot. The look overall was amazing. I was so happy with the final thing. I really thought I was going to take Finn's breath away, because I would.

I found some black heels that had red bottoms. Everything matched perfectly, and I was so excited to see Finn's reaction. I sprayed some perfume on, put on a little more fixing spray in my hair, because I needed it to stay like that for the whole night.

In the meantime, Finn texted me to ask if I was ready, so I told him I was. I took my purse and left through the door. I made my way to the main hallway, which is where we were all supposed to meet. Finn was already there, talking to Gaten and not noticing I was coming. When I was right next to him, I tapped his shoulder. He startled a bit, and when he turned around his jaw was on the floor.

"Wow! You look-" Gaten started, and Finn interrupted him saying: "Amazing! Gorgeous! Perfect!".

Me and Gaten laughed, and I kissed him as a response. "Thank you! You look perfect, too!" I told him.

He smiled widely like a child, and made me chuckle. Then, Sadie and the other girls showed up. Sadie started to scream and said: "OMG OMG OMG You look absolutely amazing! Umm, Queen, you snapped! Ugh, I love this so much! Did you actually do that liner?"

"Yes! I was surprised I did it, too! And you, I mean, you look stunning Sadie! And you, Lilia, ugh, and you're matching, you're so cute!" I said, in total awe, because they were matching, as well.

"Thank you! But look at Mary! She did this all herself!" Sadie responded, redirecting my gaze to Mary. She was wearing a puffy lavender dress. "Omg Mary! You have outdone yourself! How did you do this? I mean, really, how?" I said, in shock.

"Well, I did take a course that lasted like 2 years, and I learned everything about sewing, and I thought this was a special occasion, and it was worth my time and struggle. And because we had break, I was able to do it in no time, not really having anything else to do all day!" she explained.

"Well, you are so so talented and this looks great! We should head to the party, we don't want to miss anything, right?" I suggested.

"I agree! Let's get lit!" Finn yelled and we all laughed.

We made our way to the party. It was like a ball room, a very big one, and it was filled with people. All of them were around our age. I kinda felt like I was in high school again, going to my senior prom.

We found a table and we all sat down at it. We weren't going to go dance just yet, we needed to accommodate to the vibe. (lmao)

After a little talking, we were angry because we couldn't really hear each other over the loud music, so we decided to enjoy it by dancing, so we did. We made our way to the dance floor and danced the night away. Slow songs, hype ones, and just all types.

We had a lot of fun! It was already the best night ever. We got a little drunk, but it was okay, because this was a special night.

The countdown finally came, and the new year was just seconds away. We all got together outside and started saying out loud : "TEN" and Finn was next to me, and all the memories started pouring through my vision. "NINE" the running through the airport, getting on the plane and the first time I laid my eyes on my Finnie, "EIGHT" the pretzels we ate together, "SEVEN" when we went on our first real date, "SIX" when we had our first kiss and it was magical, "FIVE" all the tears I spilled with Charlie, and he was right there embracing me, "FOUR" the time we spent together and fell in love, "THREE" when we first said we loved each other, "TWO" the time when he was in hospital and I was really worried, but that made me realize that I love him more than I thought I did, "ONE" the happiest Christmas ever, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!" and in that moment, me and Finn shared one from many kisses, but it was definitely the best one, realizing how much we've been through and how much we actually love each other, how we can't stay apart not even a minute, being there for each other, wanting to spend the rest of our lives with each other, it was a very magical moment, when all of my problem went away, just like that, with one touch of our lips, it all flew away.

We pulled away with the biggest smiles on our faces, touching our foreheads and saying: "I love you so so much! Happy New Year, my love!"

"I love you the most! Happy New Year, sunshine!" he told me.

"Sunshine, I liked that nickname!" I say, to which he just giggles.

Then, we told Happy New Year to the rest of the group and continued to celebrate with champagne and laughter, dancing and singing our hearts out, because this was the best version of our lives. There was no other, we had to accept this one and live the fullest, and so we did! And it was actually amazing!

-the vibe is immaculate-
