The rest of the week went by like this.
Jade tried to stab Tori in the throat with the scissors she wanted to hand out, every time Tori refused to let her hand them out. So, it happened a lot. Beck got stabbed in the hand when Jade missed one time. I fixed it, by kissing it all better! He said it still hurt, though I'm not sure why. Doesn't kissing it better always work?
Then one day Andre was putting some transparent ribbons around the fake snow. I went up behind him and screamed 'Boo!', causing him to drop his ribbon into my hair. I stole the ribbon. Now it's in my hair. Hehe, it's cute!
Oh, and Trina even decided to start helping. So Landon told her she can cook the food for the guests. Trina spit on him, and walked out the door. She decided not to help anymore. Landon scrubbed his face for an hour.
Now it's just 2 days until the wedding, and we leave to go back to Hollywood only a day after that. Today is New Years Eve, and although we still have a lot of work to do, at 8 pm were all going to meet outside in the heated pool, where the hotel was having a little celebration. There was a huge plasma screen TV outside, where we would watch the ball drop. Right now, Beck and I were doing some last minute shopping, because I wanted to get my family some stuff from Colorado.
"Ooh, I could get Vanilla Cupcake something from that store, too!" I said, spotting another pet store. It had a cute ribbon on the front!
Beck laughed, steering me away from it. "You've already bought 5 things for Vanilla Cupcake. Shouldn't you get your Dad something?"
"Oh yea. What should I get him?" I asked to myself, only out loud. We continued to walk, hand in hand, as I thought.
"Maybe a snow globe? He likes those, right?" Beck asked, pointing to a little toy shop with some snow globes in the front.
"Oh yea! Let's go!" I said, pulling him with me into the shop.
We picked out a really cute one. It was a snowman and a reindeer, and it played 'Let it Snow' if you wound the back key. I bought it and headed home towards the hotel with Beck, just in time to get changed and go down for the celebration.
"Woo!" Tori said, holding up her glass of sparkling apple juice. Andre, Beck, Jade, Trina, Robbie, and a bunch of other strangers all held up their glasses too, shouting 'Wooo!'.
Tori laughed, and I looked around. The place was packed with everyone from the hotel. The people inside the pool looked relaxed, while the poor people outside of it were freezing with blankets and coats. Maybe that's why the pool was so packed.
It was 10 at night, and we had two more hours until 2012. I tilted my head back, leaning on Beck from where I sat on his lap. What should we do with 2 more hours?
"Hey, look!" Robbie said, pointing to a man giving a little boy a sparkler. "That guy is giving away free sparklers!"
I waved to the man, leaning forward. He noticed me, and walked over.
"Can I have a sparkler, and one for all my friends?" I asked, him. He nodded, and walked to his stand, grabbed the sparklers, and walked back over to us.
"Here you go." He said, handing us each one.
"Yay! Thank you!" I said, waving my sparkler in the air. "Beck, lets write stuff in the air!" I said, waving mine around. He agreed, and so we got to work. We spelled out words like bubble, and cornflake, and random things like that. We used almost a dozen sparklers each until the guy said he was all out. Beck and I couldn't stop laughing.
"Hey, wanna throw this ball around with us?" A kid came up and asked Beck and I. A group of them were playing water ball, and just messing around. I looked at Beck, and he nodded.
"Of course!" I said. He handed me the squishy ball, and I took it, skipping it across the water. He laughed and ran after it, and Beck and I ran after him. We splashed each other, and the kid introduced us to his friends. They all were so nice. The time went by so quickly.
"Ten." Everyone chanted, watching the big plasma screen TV.
"Nine. Eight. Seven. Six." Beck wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I felt my body heat up even more.
"Five. Four." There was so much noise. Everyone was cheering, clapping, counting along. Andre had his arm around Tori, who was looking more at him than at the ball dropping.
"Three. Two." Jade was standing off to the side, gazing up at the TV. I felt bad for her, being all alone. Even Robbie wasn't alone. He got swallowed up by the group of kids, who surprisingly loved him. He had one of them on his shoulders, and they were chanting together. I knew then what my New Years resolution would be, as I took it all in.
"One!" Just as it made it to zero, Beck turned me around so I was facing him, and kissed my lips. It was all so surprising that I didn't even move for a while. Then I ran my fingers through his hair, kissing him back.
Everyone shouted, throwing their hands, hats, sparklers, drinks, everything went into the air. Things smashed against the ground, and people were moving everyone. Mothers with tired children moved quickly towards the doors, wanting to get them in bed. The kids around Robbie fled to find their parents, and Robbie came to join us, who were cheering too. Beck let go, and smiled down at me.
"So, what's your New Years resolution?" I asked him, smiling back.
He looked away for a moment, in thought. "To spend the entire year with you." He said, looking back down at me. "What about you?"
I giggled, looking towards our friends, who were all huddled together, high-fiving and hugging. "To have the perfect year. No trouble, drama, just us together, like one big family." He wrapped his arm around me, and we joined the others, celebrating.
"Okay, that's how many cups of flour?" I asked Tori, reaching towards the huge bowl of flour in the middle of our ingredients.
"8 cups." Tori shouted from the other side of the kitchen. I spooned out 8 cups, adding it to the bowl of other mixes. We were cooking for the wedding, which was today. All yesterday we slept in, and got straight to work. A bunch of guests had arrived early and got a hotel, and Andre made sure they all knew where to go. Tori and I had kitchen duty, and Robbie was out getting the cake. Beck and Jade were doing last minute decorations, while Landon and Nicole got ready. Today's the big day! I can't believe my freaky, weirdo brother is actually getting married.
"I'm here!" Robbie said, carrying a huge pink box in his hand. "Where should this go?"
"Over here!" Tori said, leading him to a counter. He set it down carefully, sighing.
"That weighs a ton." He said, looking a little sweaty. I giggled.
"Yea, yea, now help us bake! Start cooking those meat balls over there, we have a lot to get done!" Tori shouted, handing him an apron.
A/N: So sorry it's late, again! It's the holidays, and I'm piled up with family and events and things to do. But I'm so close to the end, so I'm trying not to make you guys wait too long! Do you want another story in continuation of this? Or should I start a whole new series? I think I'm going to start a new one later on, but tell me what you think!
