Block Estate

December 31, 2010

7:49 p.m.

Biting my lip, I looked down at my outfit of choice, and had to say that I looked pretty good compared to yesterday's episode. The outfit was quite comfortable too (which was a bonus). I wore a Corson Grey Open-Back Hoodie, 7 For All Mankind Skiny stretch Jeans, and my feet were covered in Kors Michael Kors Joplin Leather and Suede Combat Boots. Overall the sight was pleasing.

Slipping my iPhone into my pocket, I quickly exited the house, and joined Issac in the waiting Range Rover. I slid into the leather seats and gestured to Issac when I was ready to leave.

Humming, I looked out the window, preparing myself for the coming celebration. The scenery blurred together and I wondered what it would like painted. Would you smear the colors together, lather the paint with water? It was beyond me, I had never really been interested in Art, never tried to draw, paint, or anything of the sorts.

"Ms. Block, we have arrived." Issac broke me out of the daze I had been in.

Giving him a bright smile, I exited the Range Rover. "Thank you Issac! Have a nice day!"

"You have a nice day too, Ms. Block." I waved to Issac and headed inside the normally populated resturant. Pushing the glass doors open, I was greeted by the scentl of doughy batter and freshly cooked pizza.

"Massie." Olivia squealed, coming at me, and encircling my body into a hug. "I am so glad you came, I wasn't sure that you would have - just hoped. We have some black olive pizza if you want some."

Olivia gave me a bright smile and I returned it with a frown. "That is disgusting. Cheese is better."

"No olive pizza is delcious, I don't know what's wrong with you." She shook her head in an exasterated way and gave me a smile. "Anyways, it's all there. The pizza I mean, we have some cheese and even bacon and pine apple."

"Aaron?" I questioned with a smile. Olivia nodded and pointed her head in his direction. He gave me a small wave and gestured to the seat next to him. Throwing Olivia one last wave, I walked over to where he was sitting, and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Hey."

"Hey." He replied, lazily slinging his arm over my shoulder. "I heard you looked like a dead body yesterday."

"Nice to see you too, I'm sure you don't look attractive all the time either bud." I patted his shoulder rather hard and he pretended to wince, as to make me feel better.

"I don't know if I can make it till midnight." I whispered loudly to him.

His lip curled upwards in humor. "Wuss."

"Well first off I'm not a wuss. Second, if I have to last through, what, four/five more hours of Olivia and Griffin I will pass out or puke at some point." I grimaced at Olivia and Griffin who were making out like they hadn't seen each other in years.

"Ah, you don't think it's sweet that they're never two feet away fro meach other unless it's absolutely nessicary?" Aaron seemed like he was being sarcastic, but it was hard to tell with him.

"Yeah and you totally seem like the hopeless romantic type."

He rubbed his chest, as if what I said had actually hurt him. "Wow, you may not know how to throw a punch, but your words are like a knife through my heart Mass."

"Aww I missed you Airy-Bear." I pinched his cheek exaggeratedly. He swatted away my hand and shook his head.

"Yeah, it was painful being away from you." Nodding seriously at his statement, I sighed.

Freezing, I looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Wait, were you being sarcastic?"

His laughter rang through the resturant.

-O-

"What's your New Year's resolution?" Thomas asked with a smile to his voice. His red hair glowed brightly in the florescent lit room.

"Where did you go? I haven't seen you at all tonight! And that's not easy, seeing as this resturant isn't a palace, I should've been able to see you at least once!" I complained with a frown. Which was true, the resturant was about average size, although it was designed in such a way that made it seem bigger than it actually was.

"I had ah...someone to go and visit before I came here." His eyes shifted away, not meeting mine at all. My eyes narrowed at this, my curiousity growing. It's New Year's, let it go.

"Whatever, I won't press it. Afterall, it is New Year's." I told him with a smile. "And my New Year's resolution? To change myself, reinvent I suppose, yet still remain me."

Thomas shrugged. "Huh. That's interesting, mine was just not having chocolate for a few months."

"No chocolate? For you? Sounds somewhat impossible - if you ask me." My smile was bright as I watched the television watching at the seconds began to count down. This was it, another year gone, with a new one in the wings.

"Five." Olivia cheered coming up from behind us.

Thomas smiled widely. "Four."

"Three." Griffin kissed Olivia on the nose, rubbing them together.

"Two." Natalie shouted from her spot next to Skye and Fawn.

Aaron and I looked at each other. He winked at me. "One."

"Happy New Year!" The television shouted and we echoed in return. Our laughter rang loud as the new year greeted us with sprinkling confetti and I made a promise to myself.

I will stay myself, but change at the same time. Be stronger, be more confident in the decsions I choose, and I won't be sad anymore.

Only time can answer the question of whether I keep that promise or if it is an empty one.

Does this make you as sad as it makes me? This is the last chapter :( And although I tried to update everyday - and I did for awhile - sometimes it just didn't work out that way. I thought I did an alright job...? Anyways, Thoughts? Any mistakes? Sequel...Had to sneak that one in there. Happy December 31st! Enjoy your New Year and try and keep your resolution (don't worry if you don't I probably won't...).
