Angie's POV
Today was finally New Years, I was excited, new year new life right?

My family decided to host a New Years party in my house, my parents invited they're friends and our family

I quickly started to get dressed for tonight, I put on a white white turtleneck sweater, a long brown skirt, I really liked dark academia outfits, I did my makeup, I put some eyeliner and a bit of blush

People started to knock on the door, I quickly went down the stairs to greet them, my mom was hugging aunt Beth as my dad greeted uncle Herc, I saw Will and waved, I quickly went next to him and hugged him, next to him was his older brother John and another boy I did not recognize, I greeted him

"Oh yeah, um Angie this is my boyfriend Charles" John said pointing to the boy next to him, I smiled at Charles, he smiled back

More people started to come a few minutes later, I saw Frances and her dad coming in, Frances went to sit next to me and Will

"Hey guys" Frances smiled at us

"You're literally so creepy" Will said laughing, Frances hit him playfully in the arm

I saw Georges and Philip talking cheerfully, Theo and Ana were laughing behind them, the four of them went to sit next to us,

"Y'all just gonna stand there doing nothing?" Georges asked, we laughed and greeted the rest of them
"Where's Mary?" Philip asked Georges, he shrugged

"She told me she couldn't come, something to do with her dad"

"John got a boyfriend now?" Theo asked looking at him and Charles

"Yeah finally" Will said, Theo laughed

"They're super cute together" Theo replied

"Yeah" Georges said smiling

"And still here we are single" I said

"Talk for yourself" Philip said kissing Theo's cheek as she laughed

Around one hour later everyone was standing up, talking while waiting for midnight

"You know what we should do? Like have everyone kiss someone at midnight" Philip said, Theo nodded, I shook my head

"You know, some of us have no one to kiss" I said

"That's what ya think" Philip said with a smug grin, I rolled my eyes

"I agree with Ang though, some of us weren't as lucky as you were to find someone" Georges said, I grinned

Philip rolled his eyes and groaned "ugh fine"

"It's time everyone" my mom said, everyone looked at the TV

Georges POV

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, HAPPY NEW YEAR" I quickly looked at Angie and mentally prayed that this year would be the year I would finally have the courage to tell her, and that maybe just maybe she would feel the same way about me

I saw John and Charles kiss, Philip and Theo also kissed, I felt alone all of sudden, why did I always feel sad all of sudden when I was with my friends? 

Angie noticed me looking a bit uneasy but didn't say anything, instead she just hugged me "Happy new year" she smiled

That kinda made me feel a little better "I just need to go get some air for a second" I said, Angie nodded with a smile

"Be careful" Angie whispered, I nodded and went to the balcony, I closed my eyes, why did I have to feel this way right now? Why not any other time? I just wanted to feel happy for once but it seemed like everything was just numb, I started crying quietly, why did I want to end it so badly? I wanted to stay for my parents, for my friends, for Angie but at the same time I just wanted to vanish, and something kept telling me to just end it, that I was not worth it, that I was useless

I heard footsteps behind me, I quickly wiped the tears off my face, I had to pretend everything was fine again

"Georges are you okay?" Philip asked me, I turned around and faked smiled

"Yeah I'm fine why?" Philip rose a brow, I knew he had seen right trough me so I sighed and sat on the little wall "What's up with you lately I saw that you've been acting different"

I closed my eyes a lowered my head, a tear escaped my eyes, I wiped it and opened my eyes "I've been diagnosed with depression Philip" Philip widen his eyes

"A-Are you serious?" Philip asked me, I nodded, I couldn't contain my tears anymore, Philip quickly hugged me, a few minutes later I wiped my tears, we stood in silence "it must be difficult to handle anxiety and depression at the same time" Philip said frowning, I nodded again, I had been diagnosed with anxiety when I was 12

"I guess, but I've been taking antidepressants and going to therapy every week, so hopefully one day these thoughts will go away" I said with a sad smile

Philip put his hand on my left shoulder "whenever you feel this way call me okay? Or just say something I promise I'll be there" I nodded and hugged him once again

"Thanks"

"You wanna stay here a little long or do you wanna go back?" Philip asked, I thought for a second

"Let's go back" Philip nodded as we went back to the party

"Are you okay?" Angie asked me once we got back, I quickly nodded and smiled

Around 2 am me and my family left, we were the last ones to leave as we were helping to clean up things, we said goodbye to the Hamiltons and left

On the way back I remembered that school started tomorrow, oh no
———————————————-
Heyyyy, here I am appearing from 2 months to another 2 months I really said 'see you next year or not hehe', I know it's been a while but my country is once again on lockdown so school has been harder, and procrastination always wins when it comes to me🤠
Anyway the song I put on the beginning is Portuguese, I think it kinda fits this chapter, you don't have to understand the language you just gotta listen to the instrumental, it's from one of my favorite bands so yeah, if you wanna give it a try, anyway sorry for the small chapter I'm lazy🧍‍♀️
