Skylar Pov *1 week later*

Okay so today was the day, it was the day of the dance. A couple of days ago Oliver was walking home with me and we were talking about how better I was getting at school. It was true, I was getting better but that's a different story.

Somehow he then mentioned something about a dance, and it was our anal homecoming dance. I was happy to say that at that moment I knew he was going to ask me but I didn't need anything special proposal.

''You say that you're an easy girl, I believe that but sometimes even easy girl deserve a little surprise.''

He told me this before he opened the garage and balloons were everywhere, a line of them were spelling out the the word 'dance'. I just looked at him with a smile, hugged him and maybe even kissed him. All I know that I somehow chocked out the word yes.

Now today was the day that we were going and luckily I had a dress ready for him, a light red color. I had made sure everything was going to be tonight and hopefully nothing like the one we had on our first date.

A knock is at my door and I turned my head to see my aunt, "Hey sweetie, are you ready for tonight?"

I nod and put a smile to my face. "Yep and you're the one who is going to make me look gorgeous tonight."

"Well you are already gorgeous but if want a little magic then I could do it." She says as she went to pin my hair, grabbing the curler and starting on my hair. I shifted my eyes away from her, still not over that she knew about my nightmare.

We haven't talked about it but I could tell my aunt very well and I could tell that she wanted to talk to me about it, even though I was still scared to say it.

I was scared of my dreams.

Sometimes I wish I never dream because of stuff like this, it terrifies me but it could happen.

"So something interesting, some guy came over the last couple hours and asked if you were here. He said he wanted to apologize for something he did."

Brian.

Had he came over to really apologize? Or was he just trying to fool me again. I couldn't tell, sometime he wouldn't look me in the eye and then sometimes he would give me this death look.

He was hard to figure out.

"Probably something stupid, I wouldn't worry about it," The something came to my mind. "Did the guy tell you what he was apologizing for?"

My aunt then shook her head, "No but he did sound very serious about, is there something you want to tell me?"

My mind said no but my heart told me that if I have to trust her then I have to tell her. I looked up at my aunt as she out down the curler and kneel down to me, looking serious.

"You can tell me Sky." I knew at that I moment I could.

"He's name is Brian, he used to harass me and call me names because he thought I was seeing attention if I didn't talk. Recently he tried to do it again but my mouth told him what actually happen to me."

I looked at my aunt and she didn't even seem the slight mad. "I was just tied of everyone thinking the rumors were true, I was tired of all of it. I don't know I guess he has a change of heart if he came all the way to talk to me."

"I'm sorry Aunt Allison, I didn't mean to do it but I had to."

"Do you want to what I think about this?" She said with a low voice almost like it was shaking. I then looked at her eyes and saw some light tears escaping her eyes.

"I think you are the bravest, beautiful, and the strongest girl I have ever met in my life. I am happy that you stick up for yourself, it just makes you even stronger." I then pulled her into a hug, hugging her close.

She was the best family I ever had.

*Couple hours later*

A knock was at my door at 7 p.m., I panicked a little hoping I looked decent. I looked myself in the mirror seeing the curls staying nice and my make-up looking really good, I owe credits to my wonderful aunt though.

My aunt deciding to be a parent wanted to get a camera before I left, yes she was one of those. I grunted as I walked to the door and opened it to see my handsome looking date.

I smiled lightly at him and his eyes instantly went to look at me, never leaving as he looked at me. I took the chance to actually look at him, he was very good looking tonight. He also smelled really good.

"No words can describe how beautiful you look tonight Skylar."

I grinned at him and leaned against the door, "That's corny even for you."

"But it's true." He said stepping towards me as he gives me a light kiss on the lips, not like I minded. We pulled shortly and I took the chance to pretend to wipe any dust off his shoulders.

"Well you look pretty handsome tonight yourself, so I guess we both match greatly." I say holding his jacket and he looked at me with a grin, bringing up his hand and touching my arm.

Forget the tingles Skylar, forget it. Don't think about how warm his hand is, or the way he holds you.

Too late.

"Good to know I wasn't the only one thinking that then." He smiled and I smile back, my eyes went to the back and saw my aunt holding the camera with a smile on her face.

"Pictures now." We obeyed and put in some positions, I smiled as Oliver brought his arms around me, then I put my arms around his neck like we were dancing. After 50 pictures we begged Allison if we could leave.

"Okay but I just need one picture, and it's one of you two kissing." Me and Oliver looked at our aunt like she was crazy. So no one else thinks this is weird.

My aunt then sighed, "What? It's not like I haven't seen you guys before, for sake I have seen you guys on the couch making out before."

I don't think my face could get any hotter and I watched as Oliver cleared his throat, so yeah this was something new. My aunt then gave us a look and pointed her fingers together.

I turned to face Oliver and he shrugged his shoulders, he then brought his hands up to my cheeks and gave me a kiss. I kissed back putting my arms around his neck, pulling myself closer to him.

We pulled away and looked at my aunt who was smirking as she watched us grow red.

"I'm going to go and save the pictures, you two are free to go." She finally says as she walks away into the kitchen, I just looked at Oliver who neck was going red.

It was kinda cute.

"We should go before she comes back for another crazy picture." I nodded agreeing with him and we walked out.

In 10 minutes we were at the school and his hand never left mine in the car ride, but I just gripped it harder. It was my first dance I have never been to this type of events because my parents hated it.

They thought it was plain.

"You know beautiful I think you owe me a dance, or more like the whole night." Oliver says as he opens the door for me and I just giggle at him, he was trying to life my mood.

I smile at him, "Well I guess so, as long as you don't step on my toe."

"You got it." He then put his lips on me again and I don't hesitate holding his neck to pull him closer, I finally felt like I was taller than him in my heels. Oliver then slides his arms around my waist, titling his head to deepen the kiss.

As I moved one of my hand into his hair, we both hear someone clear their throat loudly. We pulled away and looked in front of Oliver to see the one person we never thought we see.

Brian.

He was wearing a full on black tuxedo, and his hairs was parted upwards to take it away from his face. I then noticed his brown eyes gaze into mine, all I could see is regret in them.

Oliver must of thought he came to harass me because he put his hands into mine, "Look Brian I don't know what the hell you want, but for tonight can you just leave us alone."

Brian then rolls his eyes at Oliver, "I didn't come here to do anything, but I do need to talk to your girlfriend in private."

"Like hell you will!"

"It's okay Oliver," Oliver then looks at me like I was crazy, and I just grip my hand. "I'll meet you in the gym, I could handle it. Believe me."

Oliver looks at me then back at Brian, his hand clutching onto mine. I could tell he didn't want to leave me alone with him, but I needed to face him too. I then send Oliver a look that I was going to be okay, and he bought it.

"Okay," He kissed my knuckles before letting go and stepping in front of Brian a hard look on his face. "If she's not back in the gym in 3 minutes then I am going to find you, and trust me this time I won't hold back."

Brian nodded and Oliver looked back at me before walking away and heading into the school. I looked as he left then looked at Brian, who eyes kept on looking into mine.

"I um, came to your home today, your aunt told me that you were sleeping but I told her I needed to talk to you," Brian started out as he rub the the back of his neck, looking very uneasy.

"I know, she told me someone stopped by."

"I want to apologize, look Skylar all those things I said and did it wasn't fair to you. I acted like some jerk and I know it's not me to act like that, I know you will never forgive me for this but I had to say it."

"Why did you do it?" I say with confidence, I wanted to find out his real answer. "Not once have I ever talk to you then one day you explode, what did I really do?"

Brian looked shocked at my question like he didn't know what to think, it makes me wonder that the same jerk was still in him. I always wanted to know why he attacked me the way he did.

"I guess for attention," I put my brows together. "Everyone knew you didn't talk and I saw you as an easy target, I didn't know how bad I did it until I realized all my stupid mistakes."

"So you bullied me just so you can get more attention to the school?"

Brain tilt his head and avoid my eyes for a minute. "I just wanted to be known for, I never really meant to hurt you but once people started to know.. I couldn't let the opportunity slide."

"Popularity isn't everything Brian." It was just a name to me honestly, I would never want to be known for that. Once people leave the school, it won't be based on popularity and then you have nothing.

"I know that now," He then sighs. "I lied you to, I do believe everything you said, I just hope your parents got a hell in a beating before they were sent to jail." I then put on a small smile as I looked at the school.

"Don't worry they were taken care of," I say noticing that Oliver would be searching for me now. "Thank you for this Brian, I don't know about forgiving you yet, but your almost there."

Brian nods and I took the time to walk forward to the school, it was good that he was trying at least. "Skylar wait!" I turned my body to see Brian jogging towards me, as he stopped he put his hands together and looked at me.

"I just wanted you to know all those rude things I told you before," Ugly, freak show, weak, pathetic. "I didn't mean any of it, you're beautiful, you're kind, and you are a strong brave girl."

"Thank you Brian." I say with a smile and he smiles back, the first time I notice his straight white teeth. I then turn around and walk into the school, seeing that Oliver was waiting for me.

"Hey, how did it go?" He says holding my arm gently and I just shake my head giving him a small grin.

"It went fine, everything is okay" We then walked into the gym, hearing the music blast and I turn to Oliver with a smirk. "Now if I do remember, I do owe you a dance."

Oliver grinned and I pulled his hand to the dance floor, feeling the beat with my moves. I couldn't help but smile because this night was getting better and I happy to be here with Oliver.

Kaz Pov

I chickened out, yes I chickened out. I couldn't ask Sarah to the dance, I was afraid that she wouldn't want to go with me. Don't blame me though, she told she wanted to stay friends like me.

Something changed.

I wanted to be closer to her, I know it been like a week since she told me that being friends is better but I wanted more. Somehow she knew me, she knew every time I was angry or sad.

My eyes searched around and then suddenly I see her. She looks gorgeous, even breath taking from where I was standing. Her dark blue dress looked stunning on her and I could almost see her blue eyes pop up.

She then found my gaze.

At first it was hard to tell but we couldn't look away, almost like we were just trying to say something with our eyes. I then noticed a little wave she made a my way, and I did the same having a tiny grin on my face.

I needed to talk to her.

As I started walking towards her, I saw a guy go in front of her and put his arms around her. My heart then fell, she was here with another guy. How could I think she was alone anyway?

She was the most gorgeous girl, how could she not have a date.

"Hey Kaz" My head turned to look and in front of me was Skylar. She did look stunning herself, I had never seen her like this.

"Wow Sky, you look beautiful tonight." She smiles and I grin back, I was hoping she was having a fun time tonight. By the look on her face, she did look like she was having a good time tonight.

"Thank you Kaz, you look dashing yourself," Her eyes then wonder around. "So are you ever going to go and talk to Sarah? or will you be mopping the whole time."

My eyes then decide to look at Sarah who was laughing at the boys joke, his jokes. "She has her own date, I don't want to ruin tonight for her."

"Date?" Sky put her brows together in confusion. "What date? Oliver told me she was going solo with her friends."

I then shake my head and point my arm behind Sky so she could look for herself, I watched as she watched them clearly. She then turned herself back around and looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Kaz, that's not her date. No one asked her to the dance, it's probably some guy trying to hit on her." Maybe Skylar was right about that, or maybe she just didn't know.

"Well she looks like she's loving the attention he's giving her." I say gritting my teeth together, I was a coward. Why couldn't I just ask her to the dance? Had I really become this shy around her.

I'm going to say yes.

"But she isn't looking at him the way she looks at you," I then look at Skylar who gives me a sad smile. "I saw the way you two were looking at each other before you stopped walking, but you need to keep going."

She then holds my hands quickly as a song changes into a slow dance song, "Just trust me on this Kaz, the way you two look at each other could never compare to the guys trying to flirt with her."

I then nod at her because she was right, I didn't know if she had a change of heart for me but I hoped she didn't. I watched as Skylar walked away and I looked back at Sarah who was standing there still talking to the guy.

I needed to be with her.

I then started to walk towards her, I was going to tell her everything. She means a lot to me and I wanted to be with her, I was stupid to not realize it sooner. As I made it to them I saw Sarah and the guy turn to me and look at me.

"Excuse me," I say to the guy and walk in front of Sarah who just kept her gaze on me. "I was hoping that I could have a dance with you." I pull my hand out and Sarah looks at my hand then at me, a sly grin on her gorgeous face.

"I thought you never asked." I then smile down at her as she grabs my hand and lead her to the dance floor, I didn't even notice the guy leaving as I took Sarah. As we stepped in, I had decided to put my arms on her waist and I felt her put her arms around my neck.

We swayed in a slow motions, and I couldn't helo but look at her. She was perfect to me, but to me she was always perfect.

"You look gorgeous Sarah," I whisper to her ears and I looked at her biting her bottom lips. "You probably had a lot of people tell you that but I just had to say it."

"Thanks Kaz," She smiles at me and it makes me want to bring out a grin. "You look very cleaned up today." I then let out a chuckle and Sarah does the same, it makes me forget about a lot of things in my mind.

I then feel Sarah put her head on my shoulders and I just held her closer, more than I could ever imagine. I wanted to tell her that I wanted to be with her, but did he still want that too?

"Sarah," I say lowly and I watched as she pulled away from my shoulders and looked at me, her eyes being worried. I just kept looking into them and all I knew is that she was the one.

"I can't stop thinking about you, and all I know is that today I hoped that I get what I want." Sarah searches my eyes and I almost feel my hands sweaty.

"What do you want?"

My jaw clenches and I looked down, there were a lot of things that I wanted. There were a lot that I hoped to get but somehow I did end up with something special to me. My hands find the way to her jaw and my forehead touches her, all I could hear is her breath hitch.

"You."

My lips then attach to hers and I felt her responded quick, her hand touching the side of my neck. The kiss was slow but I moved my lips with her in rhythm because it was the best kiss I ever had.

My hands then sneaked down to her waist wrapping it around her tightly, she then moved her hands onto the back of my neck playing with the tips of my hair. I then pulled away slowly and opened my eyes.

Our breathing was heavily and I smiled lightly at her moving some hair away from her face. ''I thought you said you only wanted to be friends, why did you kiss me then?"

"Because I'm an idiot, I thought that's what I wanted to just be friends but I don't know when i'm around you I know I don't want to be just friends with you." My thumbs start to crease her cheekbones and I felt her put her hand on my hand.

"I don't know if you still feel the way about me the way you used to do, but I like you Sarah and I wanted to tell by any chance." All I notice was Sarah eyes, it kept looking into mine like she didn't believe any word I had told her.

Sarah then adverts her eyes, ''What about meeting new people?" Her voice breaking, "What happen to that you weren't the right guys for me? That I should meet a new guy and one day I will fall in love with him?"

I then curse in my head for actually saying that, I didn't know what i was thinking that day but I knew now that I wanted to be with her. I sigh as I made the biggest mistake in my life.

"Hey, hey," I continue to crease her cheeks and I hear her breath hitch. "It always been you Sarah, I didn't know what I was thinking that day because I thought I was never good enough for you,"

"Kaz, you are perfect for me. Why do you keep doubting yourself on it?"

"It's you Sarah, I wanted to be able to give you everything because you were just that perfect and that special to be near." My mouth felt dry and I felt like I ruined every chance I had with this amazing girl.

Sarah started to smile, her perfect white teeth showing. Then her hands flew to my face and she had put her lips over mine, at first I was shocked but soon responded back kissing her like she mean't everything in the world to me.

I then felt her smile over my lips and I could help but smile back as well, I had finally knew my answer and I wasn't going to leave this time. She pulled away and I grinned giving her a light peck on her lips.

"You're an amazing guy, you know that."

I smile wiping my thumb on her bottom lip, my heart was beating hard but I didn't care as long as I was with her. "You're an amazing girl, you know that." She just laughs and put her arms around me and I did the same to her.

This time I wasn't going to be holding back.
