*New Year's Eve*
Hunter's POV
"Would you like to hurry up Hayes?" I hear Ainsley yell from the living room.
"Five more minutes then I'm done," I tell her and run from the bathroom to my bedroom so I can get dressed. I find a pair of dark washed jeans and put it on, along with my usual pair of black converse.
"Geez Hunt, you take longer than a girl," I hear Ainsley say, her voice growing louder and louder until she was in my room.
"We don't have to be at Matt's party for another fifteen minutes lady," I tell once she in my room. She walks behind me and places her head on my bare shoulder causing the shirt in my hands to fall onto the ground. I turn around to that I'm facing her and plant a soft kiss on the tip of her nose. I bend down to put up my shirt when I see that she has something in her hands. Ainsley opens them so I can the object and smile when I see the locket that I got her for Christmas.
"I was hoping you could help me put it on," she says a small smile on her face. I motion for her turn around and she does as instructed and also moves her hair so that I can put the locket on her. I clip the two clasps together and let go of them. I softly kiss her neck and she turns around so that she's facing me. She quickly kisses my cheek and turns to walk out the room. I hurriedly put on a red shirt and run to her before she's out the room.
"So you're finally done?" She jokingly asks and I nod then intertwine our fingers together. We walk out of my apartment hand-in-hand and walk to my Range Rover. Once we get to my truck, I lead Ainsley to the passenger side and open the door for her.
"Well thank you," she says and I close the door and run around to the drivers side. I get in the truck and head for Matt's house.
Luke's POV
"Hey Ains," I say to Aisley who was outside sitting by the bonfire. "Where's Hunter?" I ask taking a seat in the empty chair next to her.
"With Sam getting more firewood and fireworks," I nod as I continue to stare at the fire.
"I quit," I finally speak up.
"You what?" Ainsley looking up at me.
"I quit. I can't keep helping you destroy Hunter and Libby's friendship,"
"Helping? You call that helping? You've just been slowing me down, I could've been half way done if it wasn't for you!" she says whisper-yelling "I bet you're only saying this because you like her or something," she says and I look down at the ground. "Oh my god you like her!" she says causing me to look up. "You really think she'd like somebody like you?! HaHa! Good luck with that, but don't come crying to me when she breaks your childish heart in two. I can go the plan all by myself," she says. I look behind her and see Hunter walking towards us.
"I heard you talking from over there. What plan?" Hunter asks wrapping his arms around Aisley.
"Yeah Ains, what plan?" I ask grinning and she gives me a death stare kind of look before turning to Hunter.
"My plan to get you away from that drink and to come dance with me," she says talking the drink from Hunter's hand and setting it on a nearby table. She grabs his hand and drags a slightly intoxicated Hunter to the dance floor.
Libby's POV
I'm inside talking to Aspy and Brett, when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Hey beautiful," Luke whispers in my ear causing thousands of butterflies to erupt in my stomach. Luke and I have gotten really close over these past six months and I can't help thinking that I have possibly developed feelings for him. I've been trying so hard to convince myself that these feeling were just things I was just making up because of how close we are. I've been trying to hid these feelings from everyone, including myself, for weeks now.
"Wanna go dance?" He asks and I nod taking his hand and intertwining our fingers together. He leads me outside and to the dance floor. "So I've been thinking," he says once we get to the dance floor. We are swaying to the sad beat of Kelly Clarkson's Because of You . "I've been thinking a lot lately. About- about us," he says and I mentally scream.
"Okay?" I say trying to sound calm.
"So, I've been think that-" he's cut off by the sound of Hunter's voice.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6," Hunter says and the crowed of people outside grows bigger as they all join in on the count down. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" everyone yells. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" They all yell in unison. I begin to look around and see everyone either hugging the people around them, or kissing the person they hope to spend the new year with. My focus is back on Luke when I feel his grip on my waist get stronger.
"Libby, I love you and I hope to have the honor of spending my year with you," he says before I feel his lips collide with mine, them moving in sync. I break away from the kiss when I hear Hunter calling my name.
"I love you too Luke," I say kissing him once more before making my way to where Hunter was standing. I can tell that something about this year is going to be different. I don't know if it'll be good or bad, but I can tell that something will happen. Maybe it'll change everything in, maybe it'll make life a whole lot better.
