STORM'S POV

January 17th, my birthday, I turn twenty-three. Tonight, I'm celebrating with the guys and a few other girl gaming Youtubers that I had met last year. The plans are going out to a club, this should be interesting… but then again, it was my idea. Tonight was officially suppose to mark the day I let my past go. For almost over a year I kept getting so many messages from Riley's subscribers… hating me, my comment section was absurdly out of control as well… my twitter, my instagram… so I deleted my channel in September last year… and this New Years, I'm staring fresh with the help of my amazing boyfriend Mitch and all of my other really close friends like Jerome, Ryan, Rob, Preston, Lachlan, Vikk, and Jason. This is going to be good, I can feel it.

As I continue peering out the window lost in my train of thought, I abruptly jump as Mitch places his hand on my leg. "Storm, did you hear me?" he asks.

I blush and look to him. "No, sorry… I didn't, I was just thinking," I answer.

"I saaaaid, some of the guys are already at the club and we're given the option to rent out a room if you'd like, it's up to you though."

I think for a moment and shake my head no in response. He takes my answer and returns to his phone call, I can hear deep disappointed sighs from Rob and Preston in the front but I don't think much of it.

The club was crazy busy for a cold winter evening. All of us check our coats in and head to the dance floor. I immediately grab Mitch and Jason, and head to the bar for shots. Ever since the incident with Riley, Jason and I have become really close friends. Mitch say's that he is fine with it, but that doesn't stop me from having to re-insure him here and there that nothing is happening. I order a round of tequila shots.

"To a New Year..." Jason toasts.

"And to Storm," Mitch adds in.

"And a fresh start," I smile. The three of us clink our shot glasses, lick the salt, down the tequila and suck on a lemon. As I'm about to put cash out to pay for the shot, Mitch steps in.

"You're the birthday girl, you aren't paying for anything m'dear," he grins which makes my heart melt and pays for the shots. The three of us head back to the guys who are partially standing around and somewhat 'dancing.'

"You call that dancing," I call out Rob as he shimmy's and does some other weird and awkward dances.

"In fact, I do. What would you call it?" he challenges me.

I glance to the guys giving a 'what did I just get myself into?' kind of look before handing my clutch to Mitch. I start to dance which causes a crowd of people to gather around me. I'm being cheered on which only makes my adrenalin run. There was no turning back now. As I do a hair flip, I divert my attention to Mitch and start to strut towards him. Once I reach him, I do a few moves and finish off with my back pressed against his, my arm wrapped around his neck and our lips so close from touching. The crowd of people go crazy once more and begin to disperse. My heart is racing, I turn around and wrap my arms around Mitch's neck, bringing him in for a deep passionate kiss. The guys around us start to go insane and I discreetly roll my eyes. We break away and I am handed back my clutch.

I look around to see Jason heading for the doors. I tell Mitch that I will be right back and catch up with Jason.

"Where are you going?" I ask and stop Jason from walking out the door. He turns around and doesn't say anything… he just looks upset. "Where are you going?" I repeat. "And is everything okay?"

"Anywhere but here, and not really," he rudely responds before brushing my hand away and leaving. I stand there confused for a minute longer before Mitch joins me again.

"What's his deal?" he asks.

I shake it off and turn to Mitch. "I don't know, let's not worry about it. The night is still young!" I shout and head to the bar for another drink. A couple of hours later, most of us end up on a couch in the back of the club just talking and sharing laughs. I notice that Jerome and Ryan left a while back and still haven't returned. I ask Mitch and all he does is grin and nods his head to look the other way. I turn around and see that Jerome is holding a cupcake with a candle on it and Ryan is holding a bottle of champagne. That's when Jerome starts off the song and I immediately blush as all the attention is diverted to me. I smile and blow out the candle. Ryan pops the bottle and we all have a toast for my birthday.

Around two AM, Mitch and I stumble out of the club ready to go home. All the designated drivers left already with the cars which was okay with everyone else. Mitch calls down a taxi and we hop in. He gives the address to my apartment and we're off down the streets. Silently we enter the lobby and enter the elevator. One glance to Mitch and he's immediately next to me, kissing me. I run my hands over his body and around his neck, once we reach my floor, I struggle to get my key's out of my bag as we're still kissing. Mitch pushes me into the door and pins me to the wall, quickly taking this moment to take off our coats and shoes. Slowly, we make our way to my bedroom, ripping off our clothes, we crawl into bed.

It isn't until 4:30 AM that Mitch and I are settled into bed, and ready to crash. What an amazing night, an amazing birthday and an incredible boyfriend that I have, I think to myself and drift off to sleep.

MITCH'S POV

I know he likes her, I think to myself as I keep my eye on Jason and Storm. I spot Jason saying one last thing before brushing Storm off. After a minute, I make my way over to her and ask what's up.

"Nothing," she says. "Let's not worry about it."

"Alright," I say as she pulls me to the bar. We get a couple of drinks and head back to the guys. Eventually all of us end up on the couch sharing laughs and chatting it up.

"Ryan and I will be back in a few," Jerome abruptly states standing up from the couch. He gives me a nod and heads off to the back. Once Storm asks me about Ryan and Jerome, it's perfect timing because they got back just in time. I nod my chin up for Storm to look. She does so and all of us start singing her happy birthday. She blushes as she never really liked the centre of attention on her. We have a toast to the birthday girl. Proceeding this, Matt and Rob leave asking if it was okay. All of us talk about it and settle on some of us taking taxi's home.

Around 2 AM, Storm wants to leave so we say bye to the other's and head out. Once we enter the elevator and she looks to me… I don't know what exactly came over me but I knew that I wanted her. Right here, right now.

I'm in love her… and this just feels so right. We glance to the time, seeing 4:30, we decided to call it quits.

"Happy Birthday once more, I love you," I say and kiss her forehead.

"I love you too," she warmly replies, placing one hand on my face. We look at each other for a little longer before I get off and wrap my arm around her, bringing her closer to me. Moments later, she is fast to sleep.

I can't imagine myself without her, I think to myself running a few fingers through her hair lightly.

[because you guys seemed to love the first two parts so much... sucker punched right into this :P]
