I'm back with another chapter ! I know I don't do this often, but I'm going to recommend some extremely awesome fan-made videos/songs on YouTube that helped me write this, so here they are:
Disney Pairings- Listen To Your Heart MEP
Lab Rats- Wildest Dreams (This is my favourite video right now ! I think that the plot line is fantastic and that it's done so well ! If you're a Lab Rats fan, go check it out !)
House of Cards- Tyler Shaw
Big Blue Wave- Hey Ocean
So yeah, those are the videos that helped me come up with inspiration for this. I also think that they go really well with the plot of this one-shot, since it's about Carlos and Jane and because there's some drama and sadness. I don't know if any of you watch Lab Rats, but if you do, go check out the second video, 'cause it's one of the best ! Anyway, it's time to get on to the story! Enjoy !

Jane entered her room and flopped on her bed, sighing, silently taking notice of Lonnie, who was sitting at a desk, writing a paper for one of her classes. "I'm such an idiot" Jane stated as she grabbed a pillow and burned her face in it, staining it with tears in the process.
Lonnie finally noticed her heartbroken roommate and took a break from her homework to comfort her. "You're not an idiot, your just afraid. What happened ?" Lonnie asked as she have Jane a hug and let her cry into her shoulder. The two were best friends and they were so close, they felt like they were almost sisters.
"I accidentally insulted Carlos while trying to ask him to the dance" Jane explained, "So now he's not talking to me"
"You didn't get a chance to tell him how you feel ?" Lonnie asked, though she already knew the answer.
"Not at all" Jane let go of Lonnie's hug and continued crying into her pillow. "He's never going to talk to me now, my love life is forever ruined !"
"I think you're over-exaggerating. Besides, there are tons of other boys at this school. I'm sure you'll find someone else" Lonnie assured her.
"How did you and Chad get together ? Why do you like him ?" Jane asked out-of-the-blue, "You guys are exact opposites. How did you start dating ?"
"I really don't know" Lonnie admitted, "Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected places and I guess that's what happened to me. I think the same thing happened to Evie and Mal. Who would've thought that Evie would end up dating Doug and Mal ended up dating Ben ?"
Jane wiped away her tears, walked over to the bookshelf that was in there room and picked up a spell book. "Well, I guess that's true. I think I'm going to practice a few spells now, especially since I'm now training with a wand" Jane replied, as she kept her eyes glued to the pages, only for Lonnie to snatch it away from her.
"Hey !" Jane shouted, "I was using that !"
"Would you really rather practice spells or pick out an outfit for the Fall Dance this Friday ?" Lonnie asked rhetorically. She walked across the room and threw open the closet they had, which had several dresses lined up on the hangers.
"Y-You'd really help me pick out an outfit for the dance ? You've never shown any interest in fashion before" Jane commented. It was true too, Lonnie hardly cared about what was for lunch, never mind fashion. Though they both liked fashion at rare times, the two couldn't care less for it.
"Why not ?" Lonnie replied. She picked up a lavender-coloured short-sleeved dress with a pink ribbon that looked like it was being used as a belt. "You have to look pretty for this dance, it's a special occasion. Now go and try this on" Lonnie added as she tossed the dress towards Jane, who caught it and went to try it on, "Nothing bad is going to happen at the dance anyways and I can tell you that because I'm sure of it"
'Maybe you're sure of it' Jane thought, 'But I'm not'

At the Dance…
Jane looked over the couples who were currently dancing. Almost everything seemed perfect to Jane. Keyword: almost. Jane hadn't seen Carlos yet and she was starting to think he hadn't even bothered to show up. Jane started to make her way through the crowd and was about to leave when she something caught her eye, making her stop in her tracks and gasp.
"C-Carlos ?!" Jane exclaimed in disbelief, "A-Audrey ?!" She was so shocked, but yet she felt like she shouldn't of been so surprised. They weren't really going out though, so Jane blinked back her tears to hide her sadness. She shouldn't of been sad. Carlos was allowed to kiss other girls, even if that girl was Audrey. Jane turned on her heels and instead ran the opposite direction, deciding to exit from the back entrance. She was so busy running, she didn't notice someone was sprinting after her until they grabbed her arm, making her scream.
"CARLOS ?!" Jane screamed, "What the heck are you doing out here ?! Aren't you supposed to be kissing your new girlfriend, Audrey ?!
Carlos's grip softened on her slightly and he released Jane from his grasp. "I didn't kiss Audrey, she kissed me" Carlos explained, "And I have no clue why. I'm just going to guess that she still hasn't found someone to replace the role of her boyfriend. I'm sorry I've been ignoring you these past few days too. That wasn't cool of me and I shouldn't of done that"
Jane blinked in surprise and said nothing, instead trying to process the information. "J-Jane ?" Carlos asked, "You okay ?"
Jane blinked again and shook her head, brushing aside all her thoughts. "I don't need your apology" she stated.
"Jane, I—"
"I don't need your apology because you shouldn't even be apologizing. It's my fault, I messed everything up and Im very truly sorry for what I said. I didn't mean for it to come out like that. It just slipped out. I like you Carlos, I like you a lot and I hope you can forgive me"
"…"
"Carlos ?" Jane questioned, "Carlos, say something !"
"I…I forgive you. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't and I like you too Jane. I like you way more than a friend, I've always had. Can you forgive me for ignoring you ?" Carlos answered.
Jane smiled happily as rain started coming down, soaking the two teens. "Yeah, I can forgive you" Jane glanced up at the sky and looked down at the ground, nervously, "It's getting late, I should probably go back to my room before I get drenched" Jane turned to leave and was about to, only to be stopped by Carlos again.
"Jane, do you want to dance ?" Carlos inquired, as he offered her his hand.
"It's raining though, we're going to get wet" Jane protested.
"I don't care. Once again I ask, do you want to dance ?"
Jane smiled, gladly and giggled while taking Carlos's hand. He lead her to a clearing in the middle of the woods somewhere and Jane rested her head on his shoulder as the two held each other close, slowly dancing in the rain while getting soaked. After fifteen minutes of silence between the two, Jane spoke up.
"Hey Carlos ?" Jane asked.
"Yeah, Jane ?"
"Do you know how to find our way back ?"
"I knew I forgot something…"
The two teens in love let go of each other and glanced at their surroundings before Carlos spoke up again.
"We're lost, aren't we ?"
Jane took a look at the many trees surrounding the and groaned, a bit annoyed at the fact they were stuck in the middle of the woods. "This could take a while…"

Alright, I had planned this out from the very beginning. I know that 'Dancing in the Rain' scenes are totally cliché too, but I never did a scene like it before, so I decided to give it a try ! Let me know if you guys liked it or not and maybe I'll do a sequel to this one where they (continue to) try and find their way out of the forest.
I also have one more song recommendation, which is Clarity by Zedd. That song helped inspire me to write this, along with the others listed at the beginning.
I'm thinking of writing a few death-fics too, so let me know what you think about that. Thanks for reading and I'll see you guys at the next chapter !
