Saoirse was sitting on the couch in the living room at Alex's place. There was only a few minutes left till midnight and the New Year 2014. The night had been rather enjoyable since she had convinced Alex to throw a small party at his place. She would have used her own, but the paparazzi was always harrassing her there and it was easier for them to get together at his place. Most of the people there were her own friends since Alex seemed to have very few friends of his own. It still came as a surprise to her that someone could only have one or two friends when she seemed to have so many. No matter though, since their little party only had a few other people. She had also helped Alex find someone to take care of his young daughter Evelyn since the girl obviously couldn't be anywhere around this type of party.

For the most part, Saoirse hadn't really drunk as much as she usually would. A few of her friends continuously made jokes throughout the night about how she was Irish and should be completely hammered right then. She had simply shrugged them off, telling them to go be ridiculous somewhere else.

As she continued sitting on the couch with a glass of champagne in hand, she glanced around for Alex. He seemed to have disappeared halfway through the party. Saoirse wasn't surprised in the slightest and got up off the couch to go and find him. She noticed two of her friends were currently trying to sneak off somewhere in the large house and she rolled her eyes at them. Saoirse heard someone shout that there was only two minutes left till the new year, so she continued trying to find Alex. After going up the steps, she noticed the light on the roof terrace was on, so she headed up the stairs hoping it was him up there. Luckily, Alex was sitting on a chair, staring at the sky and fireworks that were currently going off.

"Hey," Saoirse said, pulling up a char next to his and sitting down. "There's like a minute left till 2014."

"More like a minute and twenty seconds," Alex told her, showing her a countdown he had on his phone.

"So, what are you doing up here?" she asked him.

"Eh, I'm not a party person. I decided to get away from everyone, so I came up here. Hopefully they'll all just watch the fireworks from the back porch and not come up here to the roof," Alex said, rolling his eyes at the thought of the other people in his house.

"Well if you didn't want a party you could have just said so."

He shrugged his shoulders. "Just wanted to make you happy, I guess."

Saoirse smiled and glanced down at the countdown on his phone. It read six seconds left. "There's only five more seconds," she hinted, knowing that by the time she said something, the clock would go down to five. There seemed to be more fireworks as more people began letting them off since it was so close to the New Year.

He didn't say anything and Saoirse leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. A little noise came over his phone as the clock read 0:00, letting them know it was officialy 2014. "Happy New Year," she whispered to him. She could tell that he was in shock and she simply smiled. "See you later." Saoirse got up out of her seat and started leaving him on his own, knowing he preferred to be left alone for now. Before she headed down the stairs to rejoin the others in their celebration, she glanced back at Alex who was still simply sitting there, staring at the fireworks. A sigh escaped her mouth and she left.
