Snippet #1813236

Ryan exploded through an extremely dense wall of people. He arrived in Times Square. He gazed at the sea of people before him and his heart dropped a bit. 'theres no way ill find her in here' he thought. He shook his head, 'can't think like that.' He began shoving people out of the way. Politeness was a luxury he just couldn't afford right now. He was getting evil looks from people, but he couldnt care less, he continued to shove his way through.

He looked at the enormous clock up near the ball. 12:58

"Shit!" he growled and pushed aside some black guy and his friend. He saw a bench on the side of the street that no one was using. He picked up the pace and vaulted off of the curb onto it. He now had a view of the entire Square and all he saw was people. Drunk, stupid, giddy people. He scanned the crowd and was getting more and more worried as time went on. He finally saw her. Well the back of her, but there was no mistaking it. It was Adri. She was standing on a bench much like he was, but she was facing the other direction.

He leaped off of the bench and landed in a group of people who immediately looked at him like he was stupid. He rolled his eyes and kept running. He chanced a look up at the clock. It had started the countdown. He pushed through everyone in his way. He felt like a real jerk for this but that guilt would have to wait.

45 seconds

Adri was pretty much across the entire Square. For future reference, never try and duck and weave through Times Square on New Years Eve. He was at the intersection, but the crowd only got thicker.

27 seconds

Ryan knocked many people over in his mad dash across the street. Adri had gotten down from her bench, but he hadn't taken his eyes off of her since he saw her.

13 seconds

Up until now no one had confronted him about his sprint, but he ran into a policeman. This policeman clearly had had enough of drunk idiots this evening. Ryan was grabbed by the arm and his momentum was halted. He screamed inside his head.

9 Seconds.

Ryan knew this was a bad idea, but there was no time. He wrenched his arm from the cop and took off running again. The cop was yelling something incoherant as Ryan dissapeared into the crowd.

4 Seconds

She was literally ten feet away. Between them, about thirty people.

3 Seconds

There was one wall of people in between them. Ryan's heart was about to jump out of his throat

2 Seconds

He pushed through the people and was right behind her. He grabbed her shoulders, and turned her around.

1 Second

There was a milisecond of confusion in her face, but He didn't care. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

The ball dropped, and everything exploded, everyone cheered, it was a wall of sound that is nearly impossible to describe, but it might as well have been a whisper.
