My Only One
Homecoming was a day away, and this is all that happened so far. Will started hanging out with Gwen ever since he got sorted into Hero. He totally has been ditching us for stuff. He is going with Gwen to the dance, and I feel bad for Layla. She likes Will, it's obvious to anyone, but him. She fibbed to Will saying she was going to the dance with Warren, who agreed, just to make Will jealous, and angry. Will threw a party, and I went because it was for all the heroes. The party got busted by his parents, and Layla went into the party, before it was busted, and gwen said something to her that must have hurt her feelings. Will broke up with Gwen, and Will's parents are going to the dance, for a special award, and Will said he's not going anymore. Ethan doesn't have a date, and Zach and Magenta are going. Layla, Magenta, and I are going to the mall to buy outfits for the dance tomorrow.
"So," I started to say while looking at JC Penny's dresses, "how come you said yes to Zach again?"
"I wanted him to be happy, plus he's cool," was Magenta's answer.
"Cool." Layla was quiet.
"Layla, don't let this Will thing bother you, he is such a total jerk."
"Yeah, listen to Magenta, she's right."
"Thanks guys." We finished getting our dreses. Layla picked out this really pretty dark green dress, and, of course, Maj picked a purple dress. I picked out a pink dress that tied around my neck, like a halter top, and the back was bare. It flowed down to my feet, and only my toes would show from the bottom. Afterwards, I went to my house. I opened up the door, and walked to my room. I saw Lash lying on my bed.
"What are you doing in my room/"
"Waiting for you to get back." He waved his hand, beckoning me to join him. I walked over to my bed and laid down on top of him, with my elbows propped up.
"So, how was shopping with the sidekicks?"
"Hero-Support, and it was fine."
"Find a nice dress?"
"Yes, and matching shoes, but you can't see them until tomorrow night."
"I'll try to live without seeing you in a nice dress."
"Good." I rested my head on his chest.
"Tomorrow night is going to be perfect. It's the first dance in my life where I get to dress up, and feel pretty."
"But you are pretty."
"I know, but I mean, like, pretty all dressed up pretty."
"Yeah, that kind..."
"Yeah, and I'm going with you, and it's just perfect. Nothing bad will happen tomorrow."
"How do you know that?"
"Because, you'll be there. And whenever I'm with you, nothing bad happens."
"Oh.." Lash left and I went to bed. The next day, Lash was acting all weird. He was also skipping lunch that day, and so was Penny, some cheerleader, Gwen, and James. It was just weird. I got on the bus, and went home. I walked up the stairs, flabbergasted took a shower. I ate a snack afterwards, then went back upstairs. I got my dress on, and did my hair and make-up. My shoes were sitting on my bed, and I slipped them on, too. I walked downstairs, to be greeted with flashing cameras, smiling parents, a bored brohter, and a flabbergasted boyfriend.
"Honey, you look so beautiful!"
"Thanks mom."
"My daughter is growing up."
"We know dad."
"You look ugly."
"Thanks James."
"You look... phenomenal."
"Thanks Lash, you look phenomenal too." He was wearing black pants, with pure black Etnies. He also had the black and white long sleeved shirt on under a buttoned up purple shirt with a skull on the left side of his chest.
"Let's go." We walked to the bus stop. When we got there, I saw Zach, and I also saw his mouth drop when he saw me.
"Your letting the flies in, Zach." He closed his mouth and gave me a hug.
"You look phenomenal."
"That's what everyone's saying. You don't look too bad yourself Zach."
"Thanks." The bus came and we got on. It flew us to the school. We got out and walked into the gym. I saw Layla and Maj talking. I waved to them, and they waved back. Zach said bye to us and walked over to Magenta and Layla. James went up to Penny.
"Lash, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Why have you been acting so weird lately? Ever since I told you last night that nothing bad won't happen tonight because you're here, you've been acting weird."
"I have?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry."
"Why for acting weird?"
"Yeah..."
"It's okay." He asked me if I wanted to dance, and I said yeah. It was a nice song too.
Broken this fragile thing now
And, I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
I've thrown my words all around
But I can"t, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up
And I give up
Just want to tell you so you know
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get you
You are my only one
I let go there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Made my mistakes let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
Something breaking up
I feel like giving up
I won't walk out until you know
Here I go scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note
For you my only one
And I know
You can see right through me
So let me go
And you will find someone
Here I go scream my lung out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
After the song, he pulled me close to him and whispered in my ear.
"I will always love you."
"I love you, too."
"I truly mean this though, I will love you no matter what happens."
"Your starting to scare me, you make it sound like your going to die or something."
"I'm not going to die."
"LASH!" Lash turned around and saw my brother calling him. He looked back on the stage and Gwen was walking up onto it. Lash gave me a very nice kiss on my lips. He said 'I love you so much' and walked away to join my brother and Penny. I walked over to Layla.
"Something's going on."
"Oh My God..."
"What." She pointed to the stage. Gwen, or Royal Pain as we just found out, had the Pacifier, a device that turned people into babies. She turned Will's parents into babies, along with a whole bunch of other people. The students that could still walk were running to the exits. Penny had multiplied and closed three of the five exits. James closed the fourth exit. I ran to the last exit, but someone closed it. I looked up and saw Lash standing there, on the other side of the gate. I looked at him, and he looked back at me, with sad eyes. I was on the verge of tears. I tried to teleport out of the gym, but my powers were being neutralized by a machine that Royal Pain set up. I let the tears run, until Zach grabbed me and lead me to an exit he and Ethan found. We ended up in the hallway. Layla ran to get Penny, and Zach, Warren, Magenta, were dealing with my brother. I followed Ethan who was trying to get Lash. Ethan turned into a puddle after coming out of the boy's bathroom, and my brother slipped and crashed into a wall. Will showed up and was dealing with Royal Pain. I saw Lash coming out of the boys restroom, his shaggy brown hair wet, and he stopped when he saw me.
"Thanks, for ruining my night."
"I didn't want you to be mad at me."
"Mad at you? WHY WOULD I BE MAD AT YOU!"
"I ruined your night and-" We fell to the floor.
"It's happening."
"What's happening, Lash?"
"Her plan."
"Which is..."
"To drop the school out of the sky."
"We're falling!"
"Yeah." I started screaming. I felt us stop, but not a crashing stop. We started going back up, until we stopped again. I got up and walked outside. Everyone was there. Even the police. I saw Gwen, Penny, and my brother already in handcuffs and being pushed into one of the buses. I saw them cuffing Lash, and he whispered something to the guard. The guard agreed, and they started to walk towards me.
"I'm sorry."
"You ruined my night."
"I know."
"Tonight was supposed to be perfect. I was supposed to get all dressed up, go to a dance, be with my friends, dance with my boyfriend, and everything was going to be okay. But it wasn't."
"I know. I'm really sorry, and I hope that, if you can find it in your heart, to forgive me."
"I don't know."
"Remember what I told you tonight."
"I looked phenomenal?"
"That's not it, but you still look phenomenal, even with tears coming down your cheeks." He took his hands and wiped them away.
"Then what did you say to me tonight?"
"I'll love you no matter what happens."
"Oh...that. I still love you, too. But I need to get over this first."
"I'll take that." He lifted his arms so I could go between them, since he had the cuffs on him, he couldn't wrap them around me. I hugged him, and gave him a long, sweet, tender kiss. I got out from between his arms, and I stepped back and watched him mouth the words 'I love you' from the back of the bus.
"I love you too," I whispered back. Zach came up and stood next to me. We watched the bus fly away.
"So when is he getting out?"
"I don't know."
"Come here." I went into Zach's arms as he gave me a hug, running his hand along my hair, whispering to me that it was going to be okay. I cried, as I watched my only one fly away.
