Did you ever wonder how your life would be like after midnight?

It was midnight and Grey stood outside the balcony looking out. It was another year. Another year where he hadn't progress. But it was nothing new. Grey's life felt like a cycle that ended and began, the only difference is that it never changed.

He didn't knew though she would change it.

  [new year's eve,    11:58  pm]

'Two more minutes.' Grey thought standing out. He could already hear the loud crashes and countdowns.

He sighed. Two more minutes and his life would... Stay the same. Of course, it always did.

From all the thoughts that filled his head he didn't knew there were only 30 seconds left. He closed his eyes and savored the feeling of the wind passing his cheek.

'I hope this year changes'  he wished. 'It has to.'

He opened his eyes and he heard the counting.

"TEN... NINE... EIGHT.... SEVEN... SIX ....

FIVE... FOUR...

THREE.....

TWO.......

ONE......."

And nothing happened.

Grey looked up and sighed, he knew it was a bad idea. A horrible idea to actually hope something would happen-

Then his phone rang.
