Lucy's POV

It's been a few weeks since I met Connor and the boys. I hung out with them practically every day, and on the days I didn't I hung out with Liz. My life was finally going right. I had people in my life that made me happy. On Christmas, I flew back to New York to see my brother, my dad and my mom. It was nice to see them. On the 29th I flew back to LA. That was yesterday. When I got home Connor immediately invited me to a New Year's party he was hosting.

I was sitting on the couch next to Ricky, Trevor and Sam.

"So," Ricky began.

"Do you like him?" Sam continued.

"Do you?" Trevor asked.

"Don't lie!"

"We know you do!"

"He likes you!"

"I don't - wait. H-he likes... me?" I said shocked.

"Trevor's in trouble," Sam sang.

"Yeah, Connor's going to kill you," Ricky laughed.

 "It kind of just came out," Trevor giggled.

"What are we talking about?" Connor said flopping down on the couch.

"Yeah... I got to... pee..." I said getting up.

"What did you tell her?" I heard Connor say.

Everywhere I turned there was someone. I just needed to think. So, I went to Connor's room. I opened the door and to my luck, there was no one in there. I went into his bathroom, and took out my phone.

If it's 11:14 here...2:14 it's a stretch, he'll be awake though.

Lucy: Happy New Year! How's everyone?

Liam: fine, how's the party?

Lucy: Interesting...

Liam: ???

Lucy: Well, I found out some information that I probably wasn't suppose to know

Liam: still confused...

Lucy: Okay. So Trevor accidentally told me that Connor likes me, but I'm not really suppose to know, and everything is just... weird

Liam: it's weird that someone likes you?

Lucy: Not just someone, Connor Franta, the guy who could get any girl he could possibly want

Liam: and he chose you? what's the problem?

Lucy: I just don't understand.

Liam: there's nothing to understand. he likes you, you like him, it's New Years Eve, make the most of it

Lucy: Who says I like him back

Liam: you're kidding right?

Lucy: Well, I think he's cute and funny and creative and smart and yeah, but I'm not good enough for him

Liam: Luce, you're good enough, and if someone tells you otherwise they're just jealous

Lucy: Who would be jealous of me?

Liam: about a thousand people, half the kids from school, you just never saw it the way i did.

Lucy: Really?

Liam: yes, now get your ass out of the closet that you're hiding in and enjoy yourself

Lucy: Actually it's a bathroom ;)

Liam: go have fun

Lucy: Thanks Liam

Liam: love you

Lucy: Love you, too

Maybe Liam was right. Maybe I had a chance. Maybe - he was wrong.

I felt the tears coming to my eyes. I needed to get out. I ran past everyone tears rushing down my face. I heard both Connor and  Ricky calling out my name, but I didn't stop. I kept running until I reached the only place I felt safe.
