This is a requested story for Wolfgirl2013 :) This story is with a pairing I haven't touched in a year and a half. Frankie Kazarian is owned by TNA and Maria, well, owns herself, I guess :)

Maria Kanellis looked up at the brightly colored ball as it began to descend. It was the first New Year's she spent on her own. Her brothers were off doing their own things with their own wives. She didn't mind, Maria was rather fond of being alone by herself. Her phone had been vibrating non stop, with text message after text message. All from Trevor.

Maria shuddered at the thought of her ex boyfriend's name. Their last conversation had not ended too pretty, and Maria thought that if she'd never hear from him again, it'd be too soon. Suddenly, the countdown from people around her brought her out of her thoughts. She looked across the street at the mass of people and her eyes caught a dark brown mane.

Maria turned back to the giant screen. "3...2...1!" She yelled over everyone else, screaming, "Happy New Year!"

Frankie looked around the mass of people for his friends, AJ and Chris. James and Bobby went to Toronto to celebrate with Bobby's family, which left Frankie to look after his two nucklehead friends. They begged Frankie to go with them to the New Year's Eve celebration. He decided it was best if he did. AJ and Chris were not good at staying together, especially a place like New York City.

He continued his search when he spotted a petite brunette. She had his back turned to him, looking up at the New Year's ball, which was decending. She looked back at Frankie and he couldn't help but notice how pretty her teal green eyes looked, but he also couldn't help notice that her eyes had a scared glint to them. Like she was running away from something. His eyes focused on her as the ball touched the top of the building, signifying the beginning of the new year. She heard her bubbly voice over everyone else, yelling, "Happy New Year!"

And it was right there and then he knew he had to see her again.
