"Oh hey! How are you doing girl?" A drunk girl moved over to a shy Emma who stood near the corner of the lit-up room.

"Sandy!" Emma greeted as the girl gave her a hug. "And you're drunk."

"Well of course I am. It's New year's eve!" Sandy slurred as she drank a large gulp of her drink while Emma just shook her head. She then proceeded to catch up with a guy and jump into his arms, making her surprised.

As Sandy and the guy were making out against the wall, Emma couldn't help but feel disgusted. She looked away and thought to herself, "That must be Josh." With a sigh, she glanced around, feeling annoyed and frustrated by the situation.

'One of the Girls' by The Weeknd was playing in the background as everyone was either busy dancing, making out, grinding on others, or in some cases eating food.

Emma was eager to go home, but Tyler insisted they stay and have a little fun before the new year started.

"Em, everything will be okay. You need to go out and party because this semester you worked really hard!" That is what her best friend of 3 years had said.

He's absolutely right. Emma definitely needs to let loose and have some fun. It's possible that he just wants to see her happy, but either way, she needs to start living a little. Or that's what she thought.

She guarded her troubled history like a precious secret, never daring to share her darkest thoughts with Tyler as she knew he wouldn't stay for long. No one did and he wouldn't too.

Emma's eyes moved toward the other end of the hall and saw the green-eyed boy talking to a very beautiful blonde girl, exactly his type, her wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders and they seemed to be having too much fun.

With a heavy heart and saddened eyes, she took out her phone from her pocket and checked the time, "11:30pm" which made her sigh. She took a deep breath and followed herself out, going toward the main door to leave the party.

As she departed, a cold gust of wind encircled her, forcing her to hold her jacket tighter around her. The frigid air of December was something she was accustomed to. Suddenly, everything felt gloomy, as if the universe was aware of her broken state.

Her apartment was a walking distance from the party so going home wasn't an issue. Reaching outside her dorm, she unlocked the door and turned on the lights in the kitchen.

As the night wore on, Tyler began to notice that Emma was nowhere to be found. He politely excused himself from the conversation he was having with a girl and began to search for her. He checked every corner of the party, scanning the crowds of people for a glimpse of her. However, the more he searched, the more he realized that the party was dying down and people were slowly starting to leave. Despite his growing concern for Emma's safety, Tyler tried to keep a level head and continued to search for her amidst the dwindling crowd.

Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and dialed her number. However, to his dismay, it went straight to voicemail, intensifying his unease even further.

"Hey, have you guys seen Emma?" He approached Sandy who was much more sober now as she shook her head.

"No, I think she might've left," she replied but as Tyler was about to leave, she gripped his arm to stop him. "Tyler I think something was bothering her although it could be nothing but make sure she's okay once you get a hold of her."

Despite the jumbled state of his mind, he nodded in determined agreement and continued on his journey. Without hesitation, he made his way outside, opened his car, and decisively set off to check on Emma at her apartment, ensuring that she was alright.

Emma was sitting on her couch in her pajamas, drinking some wine while watching her favorite K-drama.

As she was watching her favorite show, someone knocked on her door. She frowned and paused the show, feeling a bit apprehensive. She took a gulp and put her wine glass on the coffee table before standing up. Walking up to the door, she peeped through the peephole, expecting an intruder or something only to discover it was Tyler.

A sigh of relief escaped her while she opened the door to let him in but boy Tyler didn't seem happy.

"Emma, what happened? I was looking for you at the party and called you but you didn't pick up. I was so concerned for you and you couldn't leave a message that you were leaving. I thought something bad happened to you." He finished his rant as soon as he barged in while she looked at him with doe eyes, feeling woeful all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry. I forgot to charge my phone and I just had a headache so I left. I didn't want to disturb you so I didn't tell you while I was leaving," she voiced in a low tone as he sighed and ran a hand through his hair while Emma couldn't help but stare at his buffed arms, the way they flexed each time he'd move.

"You're lying Em. You don't drink when you have a headache." Expressing his concern sternly, he moved closer to her. "What is going on?"

Emma stared up at his face as tears filled her eyes. Her mind was distressed, uncertainty pooled inside her heart not knowing what to reply to this gorgeous man.

"I was jealous. I couldn't see you with that blonde bitch. I am in love with you but you don't have to be because I know you're not. No one can love someone so fucking cold that they feel trapped. I'm sorry!" She finished with sorrow in her voice, her tone breaking as tears ran down her already tear-stained face.

Silence filled the already dreadful atmosphere as the only sound was the fast breathing of Emma. She closed her eyes, knowing well this was the moment he would just leave, already tired of her.

"Em," Tyler mumbled, his heart clenching watching her heartbroken state as he grabbed her hands and placed them near himself.

Emma had never shown any vulnerable feelings before which caused Tyler to feel much more contrite than he already had in his heart. He couldn't fathom how she must've felt when he hadn't talked to her, but it was never his intention.

"I'm so sorry for making you feel like you're not enough Em." He pulled her closer to him and gave her a hug as he moved them over to the living room couch.

"Look at me," he said softly but Emma felt embarrassed so she kept looking down but still in his arms.

"Look at me, Emma." He demanded as she immediately glanced up because of his assertive tone.

"Who told you I don't love you?" He asked once she stared at his beautiful face. "Haven't you seen the way I look at you? Haven't you noticed why other guys don't ask you out?"

Emma was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears or her eyes.

"It's because I've fallen in love with you. I don't care if you're cold or closed off, that just means that I need to dig deeper to find more about you." His words caused her to smile as her lower lip trembled in happiness.

Her lips parted in astonishment, admiring the captivating silence that embraced them. "Wow," she breathed out, causing him to break into a dazzling smile, highlighting his charming dimples.

"Maybe you have your secrets but I want to journey with you and find the deepest parts of you that make you smile or the monsters you're hiding so I can kick their ass," he said humorously making Emma break out in fits of giggles.

"It's just, that my last relationship wasn't so good and the guy just made me feel worthless," She said as a sad smile plastered her face. "He was the worst honestly. He would hang out with girls all the time and I thought that it was normal. In the end, he cheated on me and blamed me for being cold and not sharing my feelings with him."

Tyler couldn't believe what he was hearing. He never thought Emma had gone through so much.

"I give you my word that I will treat you like royalty, and I will never, ever cause you pain. Cheating on you is not even a possibility in my mind. I am head over heels in love with you." His words were firm and confident, and her eyes sparkled with joy as she nodded in agreement.

He leaned closer to her and kissed her. It felt like a million dopamine's being released in both of their brains as goosebumps erupted on Emma's skin from the hot touch she felt.

Her arms wrapped around his neck as his hands reached towards her waist and pulled her closer to him, pulling her on top of him.

....

"Oh Tyler, you fuck me so good." Plans changed and here they were, having sex right on the couch when they confessed to each other.

Everything happened pretty fast and both of them couldn't help but touch each other. Their clothes were scattered on the living room floor, her bra on the coffee table and Tyler's clothes on one of the kitchen tables.

"Yeah, do I now?" He asked sarcastically as she nodded, tears cascading down her face with the pain and pleasure she felt inside her.

He thrust inside her slowly but deeply while her arms were pinned above her head. Although the couch was quite small for sinful activities, they managed pretty well.

Her bare nipples looked pretty in his eyes as he latched his lips onto them, licking and sucking them like he hadn't had a meal in days.

A loud moan escaped her as the fire in her abdomen burned and spread around while the ache between her thighs increased as his thrusts turned faster.

Tyler's lips moved towards her neck as he sucked on her flesh making her cry out in pleasure. Her eyes rolled back into her head as her juices dripped down her legs and onto the couch.

"Has anyone fucked you like I do?" He questioned authoritatively as he pulled away from her neck, jealousy seeping through his mind.

She gave him a half smile as she replied, "Yeah, he was much better than you." This fueled his jealousy and anger even more.

He pulled out of her and turned her around on her stomach making her whine at the sudden loss. Pushing inside her harshly, she moaned at the sudden push as her ass met with his balls.

"I'll fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk for weeks."

Well, Emma didn't expect to spend New Years like this.
