Hamilton and Lena were standing by the punchbowl, sipping at the glasses of punch they were grabbing when both noticed Jake walking inside; Hamilton's heart throbbed with deep aching feelings as he saw her.

Jake and Hamilton met eyes and only one thought flashed through the two minds in unison "Why is he looking at me this way!"

Hamilton had a strange look in his eyes; a strange gleam, which veered between anger and burning desire; all mixed up in that glance he was casting in her direction. That was driving her crazy; she could not take her eyes off him, the hopelessness of the situation was so much obvious, both could no longer bear the overwhelming emotions.

Taking in the situation at a glance, Lena started, "Hey Hamilton, I know you feel guilty about not having come here with him instead, don't say I'm not, I can tell! I just wanted to say that you can go be with him. You're in love with each other, it's like it's so obvious." frankly.

Hamilton more than a little shocked turned to her, wrinkling his eyebrows in disbelief, "Wait, we're not, and stop saying that, God." He said, annoyed.

"Look Hamilton, sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind, take the leap while you're still young, it's time to follow your heart. I, I know that is so cliché. Go be with Jake, there're some guys who've been giving me the hairy eyeball all night." She smiled before she left, shaking her head.

One look I was shook
And that's all it took
And now I'm open

A feeling of fear came over Hamilton as he could feel a lump in his throat, approaching Jake, who was giving a little smile, which had faded away as he marched up to her and had been replaced by a look of intense eagerness.

As I walk across the room
I saw you scoping
Now I'm hoping
To get you on the dance floor

"Hey" Hamilton said.

"Hey, I need to talk to you" She told him with a hoarse voice.

He nodded, "Me too".

Though you're unsure
Why fight the tide
Don't think so much
Let your heart decide

"Yeah, but not here" They could hear the song fading faintly in the background. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. Her Hazel colored eyes were melting into his ocean blue ones.

I look in your eyes
And see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall
'Til you let go
Don't be so scared
Of what you don't know

"I'm sorry…. I can't do this."He blurted out, turning to walk away with guilt and sorrow gnawing at his hearth.

Jake watched him leave. With a twinge of sadness, she turned around and walked off, her head bowed with tears that were threatening to spill out of her eyes. She was cursing herself for having come 'what was I thinking, how could I be that stupid idiot! As if it were gonna make any difference to him to see me once again.'

True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby shower you with my love

Just then, Hamilton changed his mind. Repeating Lena's advice of 'throwing caution to the wind' in his mind, he retraced his steps to turn back and to see her striding away across the dance floor with her head down and shoulders scrunched up. Feeling sad at heart, he went after her.

Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
