Another New Year

Another New Year.

Another party Tess was forced to attend.

"It'll look bad if you don't come along Tessie."

Her mother whined.

"What will they say?"

Easy. Tess can see the headlines now.

Trouble at the Tyler's?!

Is there a Tyler Tiff?!

Did T.J. Kick Tess out?!

Yup. Delightful. Nothing even remotely to the truth.

Tess has a headache and doesn't want to deal with her mother!

But no, so Tess is stuck here, at another party, filled of people she doesn't know. Well, that's not true. Shane's here.

And Nate and Jason.

And Mitchie, who's been glaring at Tess for the last hour-and-a-half.

"Almost Time!" T.J. shouts drunkenly. Tess is so proud. Her mother, the drunk. Whoo. Guess who's gonna hold T.J's Hair while she's puking tonight? Not the hunk who's holding onto her right now.

Tess sighs and walks out onto the balcony while everyone else crowds around the flat screen. She rubs her temples, grateful for the quiet.

10

Oh no.

9

It can't happen again.

8

T.J. Promised.

7

This year it'll be different.

6

"You'll Be my first kiss of the New Year, Tessie."

5

She'll be out any second.

4

She's not coming.

3

She lied.

2

Again.

1

So while, the cheers ring out inside and Shane kisses Mitchie, Nate kisses his girlfriend and Jason kisses his.

Tess's mother kisses the hunk.

And Tess stands on the Balcony

Alone

And a tear slides down her cheek.

Another New Year.

All alone.
