1. January: A New Year Daze

It's meant to be the month for new beginnings. As the saying goes: New Year, new start. Wiping the slate clean and forgetting whatever unhappy moments occurred in the previous year. For Kelly Bailey, it feels like the same shit is just going to happen all over again.

Happy fucking New Year. She thinks to herself as she inhales the smoke of her cigarette and expertly blows out foggy rings of it. It's the first day of January in the New Year and she doesn't feel different or happier at all. She stares at the murky water of England's great River Thames and shoves a hand in her pocket. What is she meant to do now?

Is there a point of going home? She could go back to bed and try and get some sleep but she knows she'll just end up thinking about things she doesn't want to. She might as well stay out here for a bit she decides, she's been out all night and she hasn't got anywhere she should desperately be anyway.

She drops the cigarette and stubs on it with her shoe. Sighing to herself, she looks behind her to check her surroundings. It's relatively silent as her eyes roam the area. No one walking about, no annoying early morning runners. Her eyes soon grow tired, and she is close to shutting them tight and falling asleep on that bench she finally notices over there...

Occupied by that person.

She squints her eyes and tries to make out the figure. She can tell it's a boy and he's holding something. She takes a few steps towards the boy, her shoes making a sound as it scrapes against the concrete. She can finally see that the boy is curly haired and is holding a vodka bottle. He looks depressed, as he stares solemnly out at the river. His long legs are stretched out in front of him as well, and suddenly he looks oddly familiar...hold on a moment...

"Nathan?" He looks up at the sound of his name, and once his eyes land on Kelly they hold momentary shock; as do his facial features. He quickly covers it up however with a gravelly smile.

"Kelly! What brings you here on this fine New Year morning?" She stares at him for a few moments, making him feel uneasy. She's noticed his attempt at hiding his true emotions but she doesn't say anything about it; she eventually just shrugs.

"I've got nowhere else to be." She sits down next to him, making sure there is some space in between then; it's silent for a seconds before she asks. "What's your excuse?" His smile vanishes and it's replaced with the same solemn look as before. He looks away and it takes him a while to answer; she knows he'll come up with something far from the truth.

"Oh you know," He says trying to sound casual. "I just wanted to get a head start in the New Year, see what it looks like. I do it every year." Kelly scoffs. She doesn't mean to, but it just slips out. The sound brings Nathan's eyes back to her attention and he raises an eyebrow.

"Do my New Year traditions offend you or something?" She rolls her eyes before replying.

"No, it's just..." She debates on telling him her true answer. What would it matter if she tells him anyway? It's not like he'll judge her or anything.

"What's the point? I know it's going to be another shitty year. Loads of fights, people judging you on how you look, being let down by everyone you think you can trust, just another shitty year...for me anyway." She whispers the last part and doesn't like the feel of his eyes boring into her like that. She looks down and stares at his shoes. He's always been a fan of Allstar converses.

"Same here Kels, same here." He finally says. Kels? No one really gives her nicknames. She likes the way he says it; with his Irish accent and all. She slowly turns to look at him and watches as he puts the rim of the bottle to his lips. She watches his Adam's apple bop as he swallows the liquid and it brings a small smile to her lips as watches him grimace from the raw taste. He notices her reaction and he returns the smile, his startling green eyes lighting up.

"What's got you smiling all of a sudden?" He asks, even though he's sure he knows the answer. She looks away momentarily, the smile still occupying her lips and then looks back at him.

"Nothing..." He shrugs at her answer, and offers her the bottle. She takes it from his grasp not forgetting to thank him before taking a swig and grimacing at the taste as well. He chuckles at her facial expression and she punches him playfully. He of course over reacts and she doesn't mind a bit. A small silence encircles them, and they both stare out at the water for a few moments.

"Happy New Year Kelly." Nathan says quietly, leaning back against the bench and closing his eyes. She stares at him, smiling once again and hesitates for a few awkward moments before moving over to his side and laying her head on his shoulder. Her eyes are closed now, so she doesn't notice his own opening abruptly and staring down at her in astonishment.

"Happy New Year Nathan." She looks peaceful like that, pretty he decides. Even with her makeup smudged in rings around her eyes, she still looks amazing to him. He doesn't tell her this though. He just puts an arm around her shoulders and closes his eyes once again.

It's about 6 AM into the New Year, and Kelly and Nathan are both sure it's going to be another crap one. Though if they shyly admit, there is one thing that doesn't count as too bad...and that's spending the whole year with each other.

A/N: Well, hello there! I had come up with this idea quite a while back and unlike my usual style was going to carefully plan it out and not post ANYTHING until I had written at least half the story. Then the other day I heard that news about Robert leaving next series and I was so pissed off about the news that I was half ready to just scrap this story altogether.

Now that I've calmed down x) I've decided I'll just post whenever I have inspiration for a new chapter, I've already completed two more chapters, and started about another three. This will be like a random 'moments' story, but a moment that happens each month of the year and in which Nathan and Kelly will get together...eventually :) Most chapters won't be as long as I usually try to make them be, hence how short this is :P

Now please do me the honour of reviewing? They are the best motivators :) Thanks for reading!
