Leslie couldn't believe she was at Prom. And she wasn't having any fun at all, she sighed. The night was young, maybe something would happen to cheer her up.
"Leslie why you so down, I thought you'd enjoy this," said James.
"I am enjoying it!" she lied to try and make him feel better; she wouldn't have come at all if he hadn't begged her.
But there was one guy who wouldn't even have had to ask.
Leslie thought back to that fateful day so long ago.
"Hey Les what's up?" he asked smiling as she entered his room.
His smile faded when he saw how upset she was," What's wrong?" he asked instantly.
She began to cry silently, he was so good to her and here she was, about to brake his heart.
"I have to tell you something," she said quietly.
She went over and sat next to him on the bed.
"What is it?" He murmered.
She started to cry, properly, not just tears but sobs as well.
"I'm...It's...Bill and Judy..." She drifted into silence to try and collect her thoughts to try and approach this right.
He waited, his dark eyes filled with concern and his brow furrowed in confusion.
He deserves to know, she thought.
She took a deep breath."I'm moving."
He didn't understand, or , she thought, he didn't want to.
"Huh," Was his intelligent response.
She closed her eyes.
Leslie would never forget that day, he had thought she was joking.
But there was another day that was burned deeper into her subconcious; the day she left.
Leslie sat on the porch outside her house.
Bill and Judy finished loading the car, the moving van had already left.
Leslie looked over to his house, she wished he was here but they had said they're goodbyes last night, it would be better this way; a clean break.
"Come on Les, time to go," said Bill.
Leslie sighd and a single tear dropped to the ground, almost as if to leave a bit of herself behind.
She walked slowly over to the car and climbed in, despair washing over her. The car pulled away from her house, she didn't look back because then she'd see his house.
The car braked at the turn onto the main road and suddenly something hit the back window, she turned to see what it had been only to see him there.
She looked over at Judy, who was also looking back, she nodded.
Leslie undid her seatbelt and climbed out of the car.
He pulled her into a warm hug that seemed to last forever, neither saying anything just reveling in being in each others company for one last time.
He spoke when she began to pull away," I'll find you," He said it quietly, almost to himself.
She started to cry again as she climbed back into the car.
"I'll find you," He said it louder this time," No matter how long it takes or where I have to go."
As she was driving away he shouted for the world to hear, in a cry of desperation and determination," I'll Find You!"
She didn't believe him, though she wanted to.
"Hey, I've an idea that'll cheer you up," said James," I'll be right back."
That's when the band came onstage and started getting ready for their first song but they didn't seem to have a singer.
James ran up to the stage and was soon talking to the drummer, the drummer smiled and nodded enthusiastically, glad to already be getting a request.
Leslie sighed and pinched her nose; she didn't want attention.
When she looked back up at the stage James was on his way back and the singer was now on stage.
Leslie gasped and her mouth dropped open in shock and surprise.
The singer walked over to the mike and adjusted it, then he plugged his guitar into the amp.
At this point the drummer called him over and told him of the request.
When the drummer had finished speaking, the singer's brow furrowed and a look of surprise came over him, when he didn't move for several seconds the drummer pushed him over to the mic.
He stood like that, tilting his head from side to side, for a while longer then he swallowed and said," Well, we have our first request which is to be dedicated to," He swallowed again," Leslie Sophia Burke."
He now looked more confused than ever before.
James came over to Leslie now and laughed when he saw her face, misinterpreting it," I thought you'd like it."
Leslie couldn't speak, the band started to play.
So tired of waiting I walked an empty land
I was looking for something to help me understand
But bad luck kept turning my dreams into sand
"God, he can sing!" said Leslie.
"Yeah, they're good aren't they," James was obviously pleased with himself.
I didn't want pity I had my share of friends
I wanted somebody more special than the rest
I was aching inside like I was approaching the end
Leslie began to walk forward towards the stage, she didn't hear James asking her where she was going, nor did she notice him tag along.
She reached the stage.
Just about that moment the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought I was dreaming when I saw you that night
"Jesse!" Leslie shouted over the music.
He looked down and saw her.
He smiled, the most brilliant smile she had ever seen and his eyes burned with a happiness that had been long missing.
He continued to sing.
That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling I had it once before
Loved walked in through my door
And it felt so strange
"Leslie, what's going on?" Leslie still didn't notice James standing beside her.
Jesse continued singing.
It's hard to remember being on my own
That kind of loving makes a hard man lose control
But I sleep so much better, now I'm not alone
Jesse locked eyes with Leslie.
So promise me baby you're always gonna stay
I don't think I could take it, seeing you walk away
You don't need to doubt it, I remember that day
Leslie nodded and Jesse reached his hand out for hers.
That's when love walked in through my door
I found just what I wanted but I got so much more
Love walked in through my door, and it felt so strange
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed, giving me hope again
She grabbed his hand and he pulled her onto the stage.
Love walked in, Love walked in, Love
Jesse launched into a guitar solo and Leslie started laughing despite the fact that they were on stage in front of a crowded hall.
Just about that moment, the timing was so right
You appeared like a vision sent down to my life
I thought I was dreaming, when I saw you that night
That's when love walked in through my door
That familiar feeling, I had it once before
Love walked in through my door, that familiar feeling I had once before
Love walked in through my door, and it felt so strange
Like a long lost friend that hadn't changed, giving me hope again
Love walked in, Love walked in, Love, Love walked in, Love walked in
And with that the song ended.
A/N Well what do yous think, if you review I'll write more.
Also I suggest ou listen to the song, It's called Love Walked In.
