Loud music booms through my apartment, laughter and people singing seeping out into the hallway.

“HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!” I yell out, I don’t know half of these people but it doesn’t matter. As long as I don’t go into the new year alone

I go to open the door to let more people in, I bump into you glaring at me

“Heyyy, neighbor!” I hold up a red solo cup and grin “Want some?”
