Growing up in an a broken home has made 17 year old Elizabeth Scott tough as nails. When she moves to a new school she doesn't expect anything exciting and just wants to get her diploma and go to college to make something of her life. But what happe...
Elizabeth New Year's Eve. I couldn't believe it was already here.
I stand in Natalia's bedroom slipping on the dress I bought with her on our recent shopping trip.

It's a navy glittered long sleeve dress and when I saw it I knew it was perfect for tonight.
There was a huge party being thrown and they all convinced me to go despite how the last one went.
"Girl you look killa!" Nat says from behind me.
I turn and say, "Thanks. You look amazing, too." Looking at her.
"Tristan will drop dead when he sees you." I blush. I told her about how we told both aid we love each other. She's been crazy ever since. The last week with Tristan has been great. More than, actually. It's like I'm loving this guy more and more each day. And it's in the little things. How he looks at me, holds me, kisses me.
Natalia looks at her phone. "They're downstairs. Let's go." We grab our jackets and go out to the driveway were Tristan and Ryan are waiting for us.
Ryan pulls Nat in for a kiss and brings her to the car. They're still going strong like Tristan and I, and I really hope it stays that way.
I look at Tristan and he's taking me in with greedy eyes. The look makes me squirm a little knowing that he likes what he sees.
"You're so beautiful, Elizabeth." he murmurs stepping closer to me.
"Thanks. So are you." I say. And he does. He always does.
He's about to say something when Ryan beeps the horn at us signaling him and into get a move on.
We all pile in and make our way to the already raging party. It's barely 9:30 and there's already people throwing up all over the yard and doing stupid, drunk things.
"I'm going to get something to drink, you want anything?" Tristan asks over the loud voices.
"Water's good." I answer.
He smiles at me and kisses my temple." I'll be right back. Don't move." I nod and lean up against a table in the packed living room. Natalia and Ryan are no where in sight and I figure they're somewhere among the dance floor.
A few minutes later Tristan shows up with a beer and water in hand. He hands me the water and hugs my waist.
"I'm serious Elizabeth," he says squeezing my ass, producing a yelp from me, "you look good and every other guy in here is thinking the same thing. I might have to punch a few faces on here." he teases. I think.
