Caught in a kiss

Chapter 5: Halloween Dance

It was a Saturday night and Will was in the Silver Dragon listening to some music while writing more songs. Hay Lin was talking about the Halloween dance and how exited she was to having to design clothes for some of the kids. Will was so deep into her song that she didn't notice Hay Lin talking to her.

"Will?" yelled Hay Lin catching the attention of Will "You there?" she asked

"Oh, Sorry Hay Lin. What did you say?" Will asked as she closed her book

"I said are you going to sing for the Halloween dance??" Hay Lin asked again

"No. Don't feel like going. Besides I don't have a talent" Will said

"Are you kidding me? You have a wonderful voice" said Irma

"Yeah we all heard you sing at school" Cornelia said

"Well… I'm still not going to sing" Will said as she crossed her arms

"Oh come on Will" said Taranee "You have such a wonderful voice it's a sin to hide it" she said

"You can get to compete against Matt" said Irma as she wiggled her eyebrows

"Fine" Will said as she sighed

"Great" Hay Lin exclaimed "You have to let me design your costume" she said

"W… What costume?" asked Will in confusion

"Well you have to have a costume for Halloween. How do you want it?" she asked her

"Um… Do anything you want as long as it is black" Will said

"Ok. Come on Corny, I need your help with it. Let's go discuss it in my room" Hay Lin said as she got up followed by Cornelia. Will stayed there till nine o'clock and after she got tired, she started making her way to her house. When she arrived there she waited for her father yelling at her but as she entered the apartment, she heard no one. She quickly went to her room and continued writing her song. After she finished it she got into bed and slept a dreamless sleep.

The next week went by quickly for Will. She had been seeing less of her father each day and for that she was grateful. It was five o'clock on a Friday night and Will was preparing for the dance. As she was about to get into the shower she heard the doorbell ring. She quickly wrapped a towel around her naked body and went to answer it. Once she opened it she saw Hay Lin and Cornelia there dressed in there Halloween costume. They had on something similar to their Guardian uniform. But it had different colours.

"Hi guys. What are you doing here?" Will asked her as she stepped aside to let them in.

"Well we came over to give you the dress and to help you with your hair and stuff" Cornelia said as she headed for her room followed by Hay Lin and Will.

"Listen guys, I'm gonna take a shower. You stay in here till I'm ready" Will said.

"Wait. I brought you some underwear to go with the costume" Cornelia said as she handed her black lingerie. Will slowly nodded as she turned red and headed for the bathroom. She quickly got in and got herself cleaned up. When she got out she headed to her room. As she got inside she saw Cornelia holding up her costume.

"Here put it on" Hay Lin said in excitement. Will quickly put it on and found out that it fitted her perfectly. "Ok don't look in the mirror. We have to do your hair and make up" Hay Lin said

"Sit down on your bed so we can work" Cornelia instructed. Will quickly obliged and let them work. After many minutes of working on her she was finished. She slowly got up and looked at herself in the full length mirror. When she looked at herself she gasped. She was wearing a black dress that reached her mid-thighs. It looked like it was thorn from her sleeves and from the end of it. At the end she had red stripes sliding down. On her chest it was all red and it had criss cross black lines. It covered all of her hands and only left her fingers show. She even noted that it made her breasts looked even bigger. Her hair was still the same but it was darker and it looked longer. She noted that she was wearing light make up. Will had on dark black eyeliner making her eyes pop out. As for her lips she was wearing skin coloured lip-gloss.

"Do you like it?" Hay Lin and Cornelia asked at the same time.

"I…I love it. Thanks guys" she said as she turned around and hugged them.

"Cool. Here are you shoos" Hay Lin said as she handed her black combat boots that reached her knees

"Nice" Will said with a small smile as she put them on

"And as for jewellery the girls and I bought you this" Cornelia said as she reviled a black necklace with a skull on it.

"Wow. Thanks so much" Will said as she let Cornelia put it on her. Once they where finished they left the apartment and headed for the school. When they reached it they got inside and started looking for the others. Will spotted them sitting around the table. She noticed that the girls where wearing same outfits as Cornelia and Hay Lin while Caleb was wearing a vampire suit. As she took a closer look at Caleb she burst out laughing causing him to look up at her.

"What?" he asked her

"Nice costume. It really suits you" she told him as she calmed down. They spent most of the night dancing, talking and joking around. Will was about to go to the bathroom when she heard a familiar voice from behind her. When she turned around she saw Matt there looking at her with a small smile.

"Nice outfit. It suits you" he told her. She slowly nodded and tried to avoid his gaze.

"You too. The pirate thing looks good on you" she told him as she noticed what he was wearing "Especially that eyeliner" she commented with a small laugh. What are you doing? He is the one who broke your heart. Do not talk to him. She commented mentally.

"I have to go Will. Have to perform. Nice seeing you again" he told her as he got up on stage. Once he got on stage, his band started playing while Matt started singing.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You [x4

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

All the while he was singing he kept looking at Will with regret in his eyes. Once he was finished he got off stage and made his way over to Will. "You're up next. Good luck" he told her. She nodded and headed up on stage.

"Um… Hi" she said as she grabbed the attention of the teenagers "This is my first time singing in front of any one. My song is called Because of you" she said as she looked at Matt while she started playing her guitar


I will not make the same
mistakes that you did

I will not let myself
cause my heart
so much misery

I will not break
the way you did
you fell so hard

I've learned the hard way
to never let it get that far

Because of you,
I never stray too
far from the sidewalk

Because of you
I learned to play
on the safe side
so I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you
I am afraid...

I lose my way
and it's not to long before you
point it out

I cannot cry
because I know that's weakness
in your eyes

I'm forced to
fake a smile, a
laugh, every day
of my life

My heart can't possibly break when
it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too
far from the sidewalk

Because of you
I learned to play
on the safe side
so I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
not only me, but
everyone around me

Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
every night in your sleep

I was so young
you should have known better
than to lean on me

You never thought
of anyone else you just saw
your pain

And now I cry in
the middle of the night
for the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the
sidewalk

Because of you, I
learnt to play on the safe side
so I don't get hurt

Because of you
I try my hardest just to
forget everything

Because of you
I don't know
how to let
anyone else in

Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty

Because of you I am afraid
...Because Of you...

When she finished singing she left everyone open mouthed. She quickly got off the stage and headed out side not wanting Matt to see the tears in her eyes. She slowly sat down on a stone bench and let the tears fall. She realized that Matt had broken her heart again that night. She couldn't stand to look at him, talk to him or even stay near him. He had broken her and it couldn't be put back together.

"Will you ok?" he asked her. When she looked up she glared at him. She quickly got up and poked her finger into his chest.

"Do I look like I'm ok?" she yelled as she took a step forward making him take a step back "I've been crying my eyes out since the day you left me. You couldn't just had told me that it was over. No. You had to cheat on me with that whore. I told you everything. I never lied to you. I…I loved you and what did I get in return? Seeing you going behind my back. Why? Why did you do that?" she yelled as more tears fell from her eyes.

"Will I'm sorry. I truly am but I had too. If I hadn't then something worse would have happened" he told her "I love you Will. I still do but we couldn't have kept on going" he told her

"I hate you" she said

"W...what?" he asked her

"I said I hate you. I hate you with everything I have" she yelled. But before she knew it he had crashed his lips against her's in a passionate kiss. Once Will got over the shock she started kissing him back with the same amount of passion. She gasped when he entered his tongue inside her mouth. Before they knew it they where battling with their tongues. They poured everything into that kiss and only pulled apart when the need of air came over them. She looked at his eyes and he looked into her's. "I…I have to go" she said as she turned around and ran from the school. She ran and ran till her knees gave way. She landed on her knees painfully but that didn't matter. She continued to cry and cry till she had no more tears to shed. From exhaustion she fell asleep. The only thing she remembered before blackness took over was someone lifting her and taking her somewhere she will soon find out where.
