Act 2

There she was just lying on the floor red ooze dripping from her stomach. Her hand was covering the wound which was also getting covered in the same red ooze. Her face was contorted I pain and her breath was getting shallow.

He rushed to her side and lifted her head to get a better look at her face she was covered in sweat causing blue locks to stick to her face. There was a little bit of 'blood' on her mouth and chin that she had 'coughed up' a few second prior. She was a true mess but in his eyes she was as breath taking as ever.

She brought her hand to her mouth and coughed now able to breath a little bit better. She cringed immediately from the sudden movement but was still 'holding on'.

Before she got the chance to completely put her hand down he caught it in his own free hand and on to it tightly.

"Dawn hold on, Just a little longer. An ambulance is on its way," he whispered urgently, looking into her sapphire blue eyes.

"Paul… I love you," she barely whispered back.

He could see tears glistening in her eyes and bent down to kiss her. The moment their lips met it was almost like an electric shock coursing through his body. Paul never wanted it to end but it wasn't long before she went limp in his arms. He felt a few of her tears fall but she didn't stop them.

He pulled away and whispered back, "I love you too Dawn."

It was to late though. She was gone and wasn't able to hear him. He just looked down at her 'cold', limp, 'lifeless' body unable to do anything to help her.

One tear fell from his eye and dripped down onto her cheek.

They stayed like that for a few moments before one brave student decided the act was over and it was time to clap, helping pull all the other students out of their own dazes. The whole classroom burst into a storm of clapping and sniffling.

Dawn opened her eyes and looked over at the class with a big smile plastered on her face. Paul stole a few more moments of looking at Dawn but finally dragged his eyes away before the moment got weird and awkward.

He looked up at the class to see everyone's reaction and a little to his surprise many people were crying (mostly girls but there were a few sniveling guys).

Paul only looked at the class for a few seconds before getting Dawn and himself up to do the ending bow.

Paul risked a glance at Dawn to see the huge stupid smile still on her face. Paul just rolled his eyes and took another bow.

They did this a few more times before the clapping finally quieted down and the teacher walked over, dabbing her with a tissue.

"That was truly beautiful. Very movie original but you guys acted it out beautifully," the teacher wiped her nose and looked of the copy of the act she had and skimmed over it. "Paul your were the one who wrote the play?"

He nodded, "yes ma'am."

She looked up at him and smiled, "very nicely done." Paul nodded once more, "Next up are Candice and Aaron,"

Paul and Dawn climbed down from the stage and went to the bathroom to clean up and change into different clothes.

Once out in the hallway Dawn jumped around making a squeaking noise with glee.

Paul couldn't help but smirk to himself about how cute she looked but he would never let her know that.

"Paul they loved it! That was amazing! I thought we were totally going to mess up," Dawn babbled as she skipped down the hallway.

Paul listened quit intently. He almost started laughing about how excited she was over the whole thing, almost.

By the time they made it to the bathroom Dawn had calmed down and Paul was close to doubling over in laughter

"Hey Paul," Dawn said rather quietly.

Paul turned to at down whom was standing in front of the girls door looking at the ground. "What," he said sounding annoyed but not meaning to.

She looked up at him, "maybe we can…um…hang out some more or something."

Paul looked at her stoically but on the inside he was the one jumping around with glee. Sure they had been hanging out lately but that was to practice for drama class they didn't hang out before that and Paul never palnned too after.

Now all he had to do was say sure coolly and he was in, "why would I want to do that?" Paul practically kicked himself. Why the hell would he say something like that, Paul couldn't help but think to himself.

His dream girl had practically just asked him out and he was beign a douche. What was wrong with him? Paul thought mentally slapping himself.

Dawn looked back down at her feet, "well I just thought that we had a lot of fun when practicing for the act and thought we could actually..." Dawn drifted of.

Okay time to fix everything, "Why would I want to do something so troublesome?" Paul wanted to literally crawl in a hole and die at that moment.

"You know what, never mind. If you wanna be a jerk then never mind," Dawn snapped before she rushed into the girl's bathroom leaving Paul alone in the hall.

Paul groaned and face palmed himself then whispered to no one but himself, "I really messed up… again."
