Chapter 6-The Dance & The Decision

The night of the dance had come and all the girls were gathered at Lizzie's house. Lizzie, Jamie, Erica, and Betty were getting ready together until there dates arrived. The doorbell ran and that was there queue to go downstairs. David, Brian, and Shane were standing on one side and Charlie was standing on the other side away from them. When the girls came downstairs the only person David could stare at was Lizzie, he thought she looked amazing. Everyone took pictures of the group and so they left together. David hadn't decided what he was going to do tonight but he knew before he decided anything he had to tell Lizzie how he felt, he was in love with her.

David: "Hey Lizzie, save me a dance." he said as they got in to the school gym.

Lizzie: "Of course." she said smiling at him, she was then pulled away by Charlie.

David danced with Betty a couple of times. The whole time he was thinking if he should go or not. He had to leave tomorrow morning if he decided to go. He didn't know if he was ready to go to a new place again. The music got too loud so he excused him self from the table. He didn't notice it but Jamie followed him out to the hallway where the lockers were.

Jamie: "What are you thinking about?" she asked causing him to stop.

David: "Hey Jamie, you think I should go to the school in L.A?" he asked leaning against one of the lockers.

Jamie: "I don't know I mean it's a big opportunity for you. You have to decide your future and if it means that you have to move to L.A. and go to school there then that's what you have to do. You'll make new friends there, tell me the truth, what's holding you back? It's something, I know it." she said sensing something.

David: "Lizzie…"

Jamie: "Lizzie? What do you mean?" she asked confused.

David: "I….I'm in love with her." he said staring at the floor.

Jamie: "Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! Are you going to tell her?"

David: "You think I should?"

Jamie: "Yeah. But it'll change a lot of things."

David: "I know, I want it to. I want it to change my mind about going."

Jamie: "She's been telling Erica and I that she wants to break up with Charlie because she's lost her feelings for him. Go and tell her, trust me!" she said knowing deep down Lizzie still has feelings for him.

David: "Your…" he started to say but was cut off.

Betty: "David! There you are, come on there playing the last slow song. We have to dance! Come on!" she said pulling his arm.

Betty pulled him to the dance floor. A song started to play and they started to slow dance. He saw Lizzie across the room dancing with Charlie. He couldn't take his eyes off of her.

'Here it comes it's all blowing in tonight
I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes
If nothing is safe then I don't understand
You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
One more day and it's all slipping with the sand
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand

Guess we both know we're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be ok or we might be dead
If everything we've got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding onto me
Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
You're all I see

The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
Glass is breaking so don't let go of my arm
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
All that we'll leave behind and all that's left
If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need

And if all we've got is what no one can break
I know I love you
If that's all we can take
The tears are coming down
They're mixing with the rain
I know I love you, if that's all we can take

He couldn't take it anymore, he had to tell Lizzie. He stopped dancing with Betty and headed toward Lizzie and Charlie. Just as he got there, Charlie leaned down and kissed Lizzie like it was the last time he was going to do it. It was too late, he couldn't do anything about it anymore, she was with someone else. He left the dance with his head down.

A pool is running for miles on the concrete ground
We're eight feet deep and the rain is still coming down
The TV's playing it all out of town
We're grabbing at the fray for something that won't drown'

As David got outside he was stopped by yelling he turned around and saw Brian, Jamie, and Erica. He walked up to them, he knew he had to tell them.

Brian: "Where you going man? The dance isn't over yet."

David: "It's over man, I'm leaving guys. I have to go pack." he said sadly.

Erica: "What do you mean? You decided to go?"

David: "Yeah, it's for the best." he said putting his hands in his pockets.

Erica: "Oh. I didn't think you would go." she said sadly.

Brian: "Good for you man, we're going to miss you." he said shaking his hand.

Jamie: "But I thought…."

David: "No forget that, it didn't work out. But that doesn't matter, you were right it's great opportunity and for one I should be thinking about myself. I want this guys."

Jamie: "Well if you want it then go. Have fun, don't let us hold you back even though we're going to miss you so much." she said hugging him.

Erica: "Yeah so much, you've been a great friend to us." she said also hugging him.

David: "Well I guess this is it. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning with the train. I won't see you guys tomorrow because then it'll be too hard to say goodbye."

Erica: "Does Lizzie know?"

David: "No, I didn't want to ruin her night, she looked like she was having a good time with Charlie. Just tell her good bye for me and that I wish her all the best and that I want her to be happy. Please tell her for me?"

Jamie: "We'll tell her." she said smiling at him.

David: "Thanks guys. We'll see each other again, I promise I'll visit. Bye guys" he said sad that he had to leave them behind.

Brian, Jamie, Erica: "Bye" they all said sadly.

He started to leave, he turned back one more time and saw that the girls were crying. He waved at them one last time and left for good.

'These back steps are steeper to the ground
The brightest stars are falling down
I'm walking the edge, walking the tightest rope
We can be frank, reality rips on through, rolling like a hurricane
I'm over the bridge and under the rain

If everything's falling, if everything's changed
If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

What am I doing here
If you're not with me?
What have I got to live for, if it's just my own dream
Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
When gravity's pulling, you're still holding my heart
You come crashing down
Crashing down

These four walls are closing in on me
The talk is louder than I'll sing
I want to be there, want to be where you are
But you know it all, every look and smile that aren't meant to break
I'm over the bridge and under the rain

If everything's falling, if everything's changed
If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

And you say that everything is different, why don't we just hold on
And you say everything is different, why don't we just hold on
Crashing down'

A/N: It ain't over yet!Please review guys!
