"Ok, you need to get the fuck out of bed, right now before I drag your ass out of it!" Lisa screamed at me as I hid under the pillows. "Ok fine" She said after I didn't move and then pulled the blanket off the bed.
"Just leave me alone!" I yelled back at her as I grabbed the blanket back and tried going back to sleep.
"Liz, you need to get up! It's New Year's Eve, I don't want you just sitting in bed all day!" She ordered me.
"Why do you care?" I said to her, not even caring to here what she had to say.
"Your my sister, I know how it feels to have your heart broken. And believe it or not, I love you." she said and it really did sound sympathetic.
"If you don't hate me, then why are you always such a bitch to me, I mean why are you so mean?" I asked her as I peaked out of the covers.
"I don't know." Lisa said as she paused for a second then came to sit on the bed next to me. "I guess I'm kinda jealous, I mean you don't care about what people think of you. You can be who ever and wear whatever and than there's me. Miss Prom Queen." She said as she let out a breath. "I don't know I guess I'm just getting sick of being perfect. I wish I could be more out like you. You know just do what I wanna do and not worry about anything or anyone. But..." She paused again and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My sister wanted to be like me. I must have been dreaming. "I guess I'm sorry, I never wanted to hurt you." She finished. I guess Lisa was never as bad as I thought she was. She was just caught up in the whole popularity thing.
"It's ok." I said to her still a little shocked. Lisa let out a smile and than did something that she never did before. She hugged me. I hugged her back and before I knew it we were both crying.
"Ok, Come on, we have to get ready for the dance tonight." Lisa said as she wiped away her tears.
"No, I'm not going." I shook my head, what if Brandon would be there, I couldn't take seeing him, especially if he were to be there with some girl.
"You can't spend New Year's Eve all alone at home, especially since mom and John are going to be here with all there clients." Lisa said and I let out a sigh. My parents weren't exactly known for throwing the best parties. And I don't think I could spend the night listening to some woman talk about her dog,Fluffy, for three hours.
"Ok, I'll go, but if he's there were leaving." I said as I climbed out of bed.
~------------------
Before we walked into the restaurant where the dance was being held at I looked around the parking lot, just to make sure Brandon's car wasn't there. I don't know if I was more sad or happy that I didn't see it.
"Just try to have fun." Lisa whispered to me as we walked into the restaurant together. 'Fun, how can I have fun when the only thing I want to do is run to the bathroom and cry.' I thought.
We walked into the hall and just as we walked in Ashley ran over to us, with Jess on her arm.
"You guys made it!" Ashley said over the music.
"Yeah, everything looks great!" Lisa said back to her. I looked around, it wasn't anything special, there were about a hundred balloons in the air, they were probably going to fall down at midnight. There was a bar, but no alcohol, damn. How the hell am I going to get through this night without some alcohol. Maybe they have some somewhere else. I turned around in search of another bar when I saw Brandon, sitting at a table with a rose. My heart stopped. The rose was probably for some date he was waiting for. I remember when he brought me a rose, and that's when I had to get away before I would start crying.
I walked away from Ashley, Lisa and Jess. I didn't want anyone feeling sorry for me, and telling me he was a jerk. This time it was my fault. Everything was my fault. I opened the bathroom door and ran inside. I locked the door so no one could come in and before I knew it I had my hands over my face, I was sitting on the chair and crying.
"Are you ok?" I heard a voice ask me.
"I'm sorry I thought I was alone." I said as I looked up to see Victoria, a girl in my english class. (Disclaimer- Surprise Surprise I love you Vic, you didn't actually think I wasn't gonna put you in did you?)
"It's ok, what's wrong?" She asked me as she sat on the chair next to me.
"Nothing, it's just my boyfriend, ugg, my ex-boyfriend is here with another girl and the only reason we broke up is because he thinks I cheated on him." I blurted out before I realized I probably scared her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." I was saying before she interrupted me
"It's ok. So you and Brandon are really over?" She asked me.
"Yeah." I let out a long breath.
"Oh, you guys made a cute couple, don't worry though. Brandon really likes you, trust me. I've never seen him like this before."
"What do you mean?" I asked her. What was she talking about?
"You'll see." She said as she unlocked the door and walked out with a smile on his face. Just as she left the door swung open again.
"There you are!" Justin said as he came down and sat next to me.
"You do know this is the girl's bathroom?" I asked him. He just laughed.
"How come you guys get a chair in here?" he paused. "Never Mind, come on!" he said as he grabbed me by my arm and dragged me out of the bathroom door.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"It's almost mid-night." he said as he kept dragging me into the hall.
"I don't want to be in there. The whole mid-night kiss thing. I don't want to see it." I said referring to the kiss that Brandon and his date would probably be sharing at the end of the night.
"You're definitely gonna wanna see this kiss." Justin said as he pushed me into the room. I looked around and there was no one on the dance floor, except for one person. The lights all of a sudden turned off and everyone was quite. The man in the middle of the room turned around and started walking towards me with a rose in his hand. My heart beat started growing faster as I realized who it was.
Brandon handed me the rose and I was left speechless. "But I thought.." I was saying when I was interrupted with a kiss. I dropped the rose and pulled Brandon closer to me, never wanting to let go. There was so much hunger, passion that I didn't want to stop. Brandon then pulled away and smiled at me.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Happy New Year!" I heard the people around us yell and then all the balloons fell on top of us.
Brandon than kissed me again, this kiss having twice the passion as the last one.
"I wanted to be the first person you kissed this year." He said as I smiled at him "I love you."
I felt my heart jump. "I love you too." I said to him before I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him one more time.
