Nicoles POV
I held my breath as Nick led us through the tipsy hormonal teens grinding up against each other. I could literally smell the sexual desire and lust and it just was sickening. It felt gross squeezing past their exposed overheated skin.

I took a deep breath when we stumbled into the kitchen. There were people in the kitchen, but it wasn’t nearly as crowded as it was out in the living room and throughout the house. Girls laughed and flirtatiously flipped their hair when the guys around them cracked a lame joke. Half drunken bottles, red cups, and open bags of chips littered the counter and part of the floor. Also, there was some weird white powdery substance smeared on the cabinets.

“Nate should be here somewhere” Nick said to us. The music wasn’t as loud in the kitchen, so he didn’t have to raise his voice to much to be heard.

“Nick!” Nates voice boomed. We all snapped our heads in his direction. I looked up and down his tall frame. His dark hair was in a spiked quiff, his hair color contrasting with his bright blue eyes and bright attire. Dark stubble lined his jaw and chin.

“Hey Nate” Nick smiled. Nate patted his shoulder with an overly friendly smile.

“Hey man” Nate said.

“Some of my friends came and I wanted you to meet them. Of course you know the girls” Nick said, gesturing with his hand toward Anjelica and I.

“Of course!” Nate exclaimed, looking up and down Anjelicas body. My eyes slightly twitched at the way he took her in. Back when Anjelica was in highschool with us, Nate would always flirt with her, but apparently he was joking when he did it. Obviously I didn’t believe him. Nick didn’t seem to notice Nate staring at my sister, he just kept on talking and gesturing to us with his hands.

“Geat, and this is-” Nick started to say, pointing over to the boys.

“Oh, I already know who they are” Nate cut him off.

“You do?” Nick asked puzzled.

“Yep. Zayn, Liam, Louis, Niall” Nate said, adding tone and edge to his voice when he said Nialls name. He glared down at Niall and Anjelica intertwined fingers. We all raised our eyebrows at him. “And Harry” he said, faking a smile. “Speaking of that cheeky boy, where is he?” he asked, looking past me.

“W-what? He right behind us” I stuttered, giving him a confused smile. I spun around, expecting to see Harrys cheeky smirk. Instead, I was greeted with already drunk girls stumbling around. Harry was nowhere in sight. “He was just here!” I yelled in frustration, looking back at Nate, Anjelica, and the boys.

“Oh, well that’s alright” Nate shrugged.

“Probably off with some girls” Liam joked and I glared at him. Why would he say that? Definitely not helping.

“No, I’ll go find him. He should at least say hello” I say through gritted teeth. I let out a determined huff and marched off into the crowd.

“Nikki!” I heard Anjelica yell, but I kept on pushing past people. I don’t know why I’m so frustrated. Maybe it’s because of the fact that I like him and the thought of him off with another girl is awful to think about. “Remember what I said!” I heard Anjelica faintly yell over the increased volume of the music. I glared over the heads of people, searching out for Harrys mop of curls.

“Nikki!” Liam shouted and I felt someone grab my arm. I yanked my arm away and glared right into Liams eyes.

“What?” I asked rather rudely.

“I just think that you shouldn’t go off alone...” Liam said, looking down. I sighed and grabbed his hand. He does have a point, I could get lost in these people and something bad would have been bound to happen.

“I’m sorry, you’re right” I said, squeezing his hand. Liam looked up with a gorgeous smile on his face. “And that also applies for Harry” I added. He shouldn’t be alone also, especially when there is alcohol around. He wasn’t really good friends with anyone here besides us.

“That applies for all of us” Liam nodded in agreement.

“Thanks Liam” I said, giving him a kiss on his cheek. He blushed and opened his mouth to say something, but some guys groin started grinding against my side. “Ugh!” I grunted in disgust. The guy moved his greedy hands around my waist, encouraging me to press against his little friend. “Ugh!!!” I squeaked and pushed him away. Liam pulled me close to him and got through the crowd as fast as he could. He pulled me through the house, looking for a place that wasn’t so crowded. We made it out to Nates large backyard where there wasn’t many people, 20 people the most.

“You okay?” Liam said, still holding me close to his side.

“Yeah, thanks” I replied, looking up at him. Liam looked down at me, our faces close enough to feel each others breath fan out. “We should find Harry” I said, blushing and stepping out of Liams arms. Liam frowned a tad, but quickly faked a smile and nodded. I looked around the backyard. There was a pool, a couple making out, some chairs, some bottles, and no Harry. I sighed and shivered as cold wind hit me, informing me in the angry dark clouds and winter weather.

I hope Harry isn't sucking faces with anyone right now, I thought as I glanced at the couple making out. My blood started to boil with jealousy. I’m going to find him before midnight.

Nialls POV
My skin prickled and my lips twitched down at the way Nate looked at my girlfriend. It’s not that I was jealous or anything, I’m not that kind of guy. It’s just that the way he was looking at her didn’t seem right. He practically growled my name and stabbed my heart with his ice breaking eyes.

He doesn’t even know me, so I don’t know why he already acts as if he hates me.

“Remember what I said!” my girlfriend shouted after Nikki.

“It will be fine” I assured her when Liam went after her. I felt a little bad for Liam, having to chase after the girl who doesn’t like him back.

“I know, she’s a big girl and all, but it’s just like I want to know where she is” she said, looking into my eyes. I tilted down in understanding. My older brother, Greg, used to always make me text him where I’m at. He wasn’t like psycho protective, but he just wanted to make sure that I was alright. And I could understand why. I’m a pretty clumsy boy.

“This house isn’t that big, so she won’t go far” Nate said, tenderly stroking my girlfriends shoulder. I know that he name is Anjelica, but she is my girlfriend. I’m not possessive, but I just like the the fact that she is my girlfriend. That means she’s all mine. And I don’t intend on sharing her.

“Yeah.” Anjelica said, leaning away from him and closer to me. But what bothered me was the fact that she didn’t looked creeped out. She just looked blank and acted like she was mindlessly leaning into me.

“So uh..nice house that you got here, man” Zayn said, awkwardly rubbing his neck.

“Thanks bro, that’s nice of you to say” Nate said, turning away from Anjelica and flashed Zayn a pretty boy smile. A few seconds of awkward silence passed before Nate faced Nick, his pretty boy smile smug on his face. “Nick, why don’t you go find Ellery and make sure that everythings going well” Nate said.

“Uh..sure” Nick hesitantly replied, the corners of his mouth twitching down.

“I’ll go with you” Zayn offered Nick with a smile. Nick beamed back at Zayn.

“Awesome” Nick said, smiling wide. Zayn followed Nick into the crowd of people, instantly disappearing into the crowd.

“Here” Nate said, thrusting two red cups at us. Anjelica untangled her fingers from mine and grabbed the cup with a smile. I frowned, wanting Anjelica hand to be back where it belonged; in my hand. I took the cup from Nate. Anjelica and I watched Nate pour warm colored alcohol into our cups. “This drink is my favorite” he said, taking a swig from the bottle after filling our cups halfway. I nodded and took a sip from the cup.

I like alcohol, to be honest, and pints are to die for. I swished the liquid in my mouth and swallowed it with a loud gulp. It was sweet and made me instantly feel warm. Anjelica took a hesitant sip and smiled.

“It’s good” she choked out. Nate sloppily smiled and held up his bottle. Anjelica held up her cup and I held up mine. Cheers, I guess.

“Nate dude!” some guy called out. Nate swiftly looked over his shoulder then back to us.

“You two enjoy the party” Nate said, winking at Anjelica and sauntering off. I clenched my cup tighter in my hands and took a big gulp from it.

“Okay then” Anjelica said, furrowing her eyebrows together and taking another sip from her cup. By now the alcohol was making me buzz, but it didn’t mask the frustration knitted in my face. Like I said before, I’m not jealous. I just don’t like the fact that Nate was flirting with my girlfriend. Can’t he see that we are together? I mean, we were even holding hands not even 5 minutes ago!

Am I not making it obvious that we are together? Should I make it more obvious? I thought that it was pretty obvious that we are together. You know, she’s against me and I’m close to her.

I sighed to myself. Is that why every girlfriend I’ve had has broken up with me? Am I not making it obvious that she’s mine and I’m hers? So many questions that I’ve never really thought about before start to invade every inch of my mind, demanding that I provide an answer.

“Hey, don’t think so hard” Anjelica said, kissing my cheek. I blushed and rubbed my forehead. “Come on, lets dance” she smiled, tossing her now empty cup. I finished the rest of my drink and set it on the counter.

“Sure” I said and let her drag me off. She found a spot smack down in the middle of the grinding bodies. “Just warning you right now” I said, holding up my hands. “I can’t dance” I confessed. Anjelica burst out in the most amazing sound I’ve ever heard. Her laugh.

“Everyone can dance” she said.

“But I can’t..” I said, looking down.

“All you do is this” she said, and I watched her feet scramble all over the place. I looked up and smiled. She flailed her arms all around in a goofy manner. I snickered and shook my head.

“Okay, I get it” I said when she started acting like a chicken. She smiled and grabbed my hands.

“Then dance with me” she said, slowly starting to sway her hips. I smiled and awkwardly jutted my hips side to side. I like this, I like her. She’s silly and funny, but also hard core, which just makes her sexy. She shimmied her hips and turned around and pressed her backside against my front. My eyes widened as she started moving her body up against me.

It felt...amazing.

I placed my hands on her hips and moved my body with hers. She swung her head, her hair swinging to the side and revealing her bare neck. My body went crazy and my lips attacked her neck. I kissed her neck and trailed up behind her ear. Anjelica shivered under my touch and I became confident in myself. I wrapped my arms fully around her waist and buried my face in the crook of her neck. Anjelica settled her arms on top of mine, resting her head back on my shoulder.

I was so tempted to just kiss her right now, the urge much stronger than it has been the past few weeks that I’ve been with her. It’s not that I don’t want to kiss her. It’s just that I want our first kiss to be special. Of course, both Anjelica and I have already had a first kiss, but not with each other. I want the first kiss I have with Anjelica to be romantic, special, magical.

That’s why I’ve been waiting. I want to kiss her as soon as the ball drops, as soon as the clock strikes midnight. In my opinion, I find that romantic, special, magical. But her body against mine right now is making that really hard right now. I looked at her plump, pink lips. Her eyes were closed and her lips were slightly parted. I licked my lips and leaned in.

WAIT STOP.

I leaned back and nuzzled my face back into her neck. Woah, that was close... For the next 4 hours, Anjelica and I danced, drank some more (not enough to get super drunk), talked to Zayn and Nick, and made some new friends. I saw Nikki and Liam a few times, but didn’t see Harry. I had a blast, but it could have been even better if they were there and if Nate would have stopped flirting with my girlfriend.

I felt like slapping myself for not just coming out and just telling him that Anjelica and I are together, but another part of me wanted to slap myself if I did come out and tell him. Part of me felt like he already knew and didn’t care.

“COUNTDOWN STARTING IN 1 MINUTE!!!” someone shouted. Most people scurried off to any room that had a tv, but some just stayed where they were like they could care less. Anjelica, Nick, Zayn, Nate, and I stood close to the tv in the living room. Some people that I became friends with were in here with us, but there were also people in here that I still have yet to know.

“What’s your New Years resolution?” Nick asked Zayn. Zayn pondered it for a few seconds.

“To become even better friends with you. Become even closer to you” Zayn said and Nick blushed bright red.

“I guess that could be a New Year resolution” Nick said in a small voice. I spotted Liam, Nikki, Harry and Taylor in the living room towards the back. Liam gave me a sad smile and I returned it with a sad nod. I knew that Liam wanted to kiss Nikki, but I don’t think that was going to happen.

“10! 9!” everyone including me started to shout as we watched the ball slowly drop in New York. I turned Anjelica to face me, my lips tingling with anticipation.

“3, 2” Anjelica said, leaning closer to me.

“1” I whispered. Suddenly, Anjelica was whipped around and Nate crashed his lips against hers. My mouth dropped in shock at the sight. I waited just for right now to kiss her, and Nate took it away from me. I was too shocked to do anything. I didn’t move, I didn’t try to pull Anjelica away from him. Anjelica pulled away from him and wiped her mouth.

“What the hell!?” she shouted. She balled up her fist and punched him square in the face. Nate fell back, holding his nose. No one payed attention to him or were too busy snogging. I snapped out of my clouded phase and felt myself moving towards Anjelica. “Nate I’m with Niall! Why th-” Anjelica didn’t finish her sentence. I yanked her arm, turning her around and grabbed her face. I smashed my lips against hers, forcefully shoving my tongue in her mouth. After a few seconds, Anjelica moved her lips and grazed her tongue roughly against mine. She fisted her hands into the front of my shirt and I moved my hand to the back of her neck, keeping her in place. Our tongues danced in passionate fury, and it was sexy how she fought for dominance.

“Nikki!” Nick yelled. Anjelica and I pulled away, panting and smiling from ear to ear. I cupped her cheeks, rubbing my thumb against her bottom lip.

“Wow” she breathed.

“Wow” I said out of breath. We stared into each others eyes, as if to confirm that we really just shared such a breath taking kiss.

“Where are you going!?” Harry yelled, zipping past us. His voice made Anjelica and I pull away and watch him storm out. Nick and Zayn rushed after him.

“What’s going on?” Anjelica asked. Liam slowly walked past us.

“Wait, Liam!” I said, grabbing his arm before he was out of reach. He looked...looked...Oh no...

“Liam? What’s going on?” Anjelica asked, taking a step closer to him.

“S-she..she..” Liam stuttered, but couldn’t say anything more.
